I sat on my bed and curiously looked around the decently sized bedroom. This was where I was going to live for the next two years huh? Well, it wasn't too bad, the only problem was that I had no clothes other than the ones I'd brought from home with me, well and the ones i bough with Nelly. Nelly had informed mom about my success and I was allowed to stay as long as I did well in school and wrote her an SMS every two days. After my wonderful lunch with Kai, I was taken to my dorm by the secretary from earlier. It wasn't too small of a room, I shared it with four other girls who were currently training. There were five beds- two bunk and one normal, three dressers, not very big in size, one was behind the door, the other two were next to the bunk beds. There was a kitchen area for each dorm which was technically counted as both a living room and a dining hall because everything was in the same room. I'm not sure if you understand what I mean, so I'll explain. There is a room which has several kitchen counters, a stove, a fridge and a microwave to its left, a dining table with chairs in the middle and a couch with a TV at the right.  Around the whole dorm there were ten bathrooms which were shared by all of the girls.

I lay on the bed bored for around fifteen more minutes before I decided to take out my laptop from my suitcase. I had a Dell studio XPS laptop which was really good for gaming and I loved it back when I played League of Legends or StarCraft but now I barely have any gigabytes left. I turned it on and waited for it to start, I hadn't been using it since I'd arrived in Korea. As the background image loaded, I smiled seeing that it was the image of my favorite anime character called Ren Suzugamori. He was this red-haired guy who was evil in the first season and good in the second season of Cardfight!! Vanguard. All of his scenes in the anime made me smile and laugh or made me think how sexy he was. I immediately connected my laptop to the free dorm Wi-Fi (YESSS!) and browsed You-tube for interesting videos. At first nothing interesting came up and I lay my head on my pillow then I saw it. The new EXO video for Overdose was OUT! I watched through the K version first, then I watched it over and over again around seven times- I was so amazed at Baekhyun's rapping, it sounded so...sexy, It was my first time seeing him rap, of course I loved his singing too, but this was just...unusual. D.O's voice when he sang in English made a smile rise to my lips, don't get me wrong I love Kai and Sehun as well but I was more into singing rather than dancing. I laughed at Chanyeol's part like an idiot, thankfully there was no-one in the dorm, he looked like an evil Jedi overlord when he was rapping in this video. Overall though I wasn't used to seeing EXO street style, I was impressed and amazed as to how well they fit into that category.  I looked through the M version after wards and honestly, completely honestly, I liked it more. I just can't say who I liked the most, but everyone seemed awesome there. When the song sounded in Chinese somehow appealed to me more than the way it sounded in Korean. I paused and showed my face into the pillow, this was the first time I actually chose EXO-M over EXO-K. IM SORRY MY LOVED ONES, I HAVE BETRAYED YOU!

GRUMBLEEEEEE~ I blinked as I looked towards my stomach, I was hungry. I headed towards the kitchen and looked through the fridge, the girls that lived here seemed to shop often which was good, but they didn't always shop for the healthiest stuff. I took three packets of marshmallows out of the fridge, followed by four Nutella jars and four packs of Oreos. Then I took out some fresh looking potatoes and started sautéing them with a bit of garlic and several spices. Then I managed to find two packs of chicken breast and decided that I'd bake them in the oven with cheese sauce since the fridge was practically FULL of cheese. When I had placed the chicken in the oven I looked back into the fridge, they had fresh tomatoes, which would work for a salad.  I cut the tomatoes slowly, in a careful attempt to not slice my fingers, since that had happened a few times before. I finished with the salad and washed my hands before looking towards the table, I needed to find plates and silverware. I checked several cupboards before actually finding what I was searching for, making a good first impression on who I was living with wasn't a bad idea, right? I carefully set the table and went back in the kitchen, I needed to check on the chicken and the potatoes to make sure that they weren't burned.  Just as I opened the oven I heard the door get unlocked and a pair of heels walked into the room. They ceased movement for a few moments before rushing to where I was. I blinked as a pretty blond-haired girl stood in front of me, her eyes went wide as she saw me. I smiled and raised a gloved hand to greet her. "Hi, I'm your new dorm-mate, I hope we can get along." I told her as she looked around the kitchen, spotting the potatoes and the salad. "Did you make this?" She asked me and I nodded, closing the oven, the chicken wasn't ready yet. The blond girl smiled at me and bowed politely "I'm Lee Yoon, but my friends call me Flash." So she knew English, I was pleasantly surprised. "I'm Simona, but you can call me Money or Cash, or Veona" I told her and bowed towards her respectfully, it was common manners, right? Flash had a decent height, probably around 5'5, which would probably explain the fact that she wore heels, her hair was long and straight, it's color was a shade of sunflower blond and her eyes were dark, she was from Seoul, South Korea. She went to go put proper home clothes on and take a shower. Flash was kind and polite, and not to mention that she was pretty, a quality that I didn't think I had.  A few minutes after she had left the room to take a shower someone else entered the dormitory. This time, however, they weren't wearing high heels, but just like before they ran into the kitchen. This time my eyes landed on a short, young girl, probably around 5'2, with auburn hair, her jaw dropped in amazement as she stared at the food. Her brown hues looked at me questioningly as I smiled and bowed politely "Hello, I'm Simona, I'm your new dorm- mate." The girl gave a wide grin and waved at me enthusiastically, "Hi there, I'm Alexa, I look forward to tasting your cooking." She said and headed towards the bedrooms with a goofy grin.  I turned my attention to the potatoes which were done sautéing and I placed them on the table. There was a third unlocked of the door and my attention switched to the two females who entered together. One of them was really tall, probably taller than me, she looked like she was around 5'10, she had short aqua blue hair and really pale skin.  As she entered the room she gave me a gentle and knowing smile without saying anything. She was followed by another girl, this one however had shoulder-length brown hair and sharp, dark green eyes. "Hey, who're you and what're you doing in our dorm?" The second girl asked me as I smiled at her politely and introduced myself just like I had done before. "Is that so? Cool. I'm Misaki and this is Seline. So, what's for dinner?" The brown-haired girl seemed rather tomboyish, she didn't use the polite form of speech, she just spoke to me like she'd known me for her entire life. "There's tomato salad, potatoes sauté and chicken with cheese sauce. " I told her as I finally took the chicken out of the oven, it took longer than I expected.  Before I knew it everyone was on the table, stuffing themselves with food. At least they found it yummy for their tummy, they didn't pay much attention to me what-so-ever but once in a while I'd hear someone say "Delicious." or "MMMMM." and a small smile would find itself onto my face. Food brough everyone together, no matter where they were from or how different they were from eachother.
