King's College (Sequel to Too Young and Blind)

First Day of College

Alexander

The alarm was what woke me up and I would've jolted awake and smashed it if John wasn't literally in my arms, groaning at the intensive beeping of the alarm. I smiled at him and pecked his temple, I really really prayed that I would wake up many more times to John in my arms, just waking up.

I reached over and hit the bottom to stop the beeping and got up, reluctantly sliding my arms out from around John to stretch. John pulled a pillow over his head, "No thanks." He said into the mattress and I rolled my eyes at him.

I got up and went through my side of the closet to find a shirt, "John." I said over my shoulder as I found my gray sweater, I think I'll wear this more often, "You should get up. Marine Biology and all that shit." John was studying to become a marine biologist, he just really likes turtles and other animals, he's minoring in law.

"It's just orientation day," John mumbled, still reluctant to get his ass out of bed, "It's not that important." He added, trying to grab any spare minutes of sleep he could manage.

"Not true," I said, pulling jeans on with the sweater and trying to find my tennis shoes, "Because you need your syllabus because if you don't have a syllabus you might not study everything you have to for a test or exam and all that shit and then you'll fail and you won't get to work with turtles anymore and we won't live in a dorm together because only students can live on campus so you'll have to leave and I'll dorm with a random guy." I didn't care that I was rambling while tying my shoestrings.

"Noooooooo!" John whined, throwing the pillow at me which I caught, "I don't want you to live with some other man because you have meeeeeee fiiiiiiine I'll get up." I mock cheered, "Shut up." He grumbled, sitting up with his curly hair flying in every direction which made me have to hold in laughter. John looked at me weirdly before putting a hand on his hear and squealing, "No!" He jumped entirely under the blanket, "Don't look at my bedhead!"

"Shhh," I couldn't help but laugh slightly, "You are absolutely beautiful." I said and got up, moving the blanket from his face, "Come on, it's time to be a success."

"Nuh," John whined and looked up at me with a pout, "I can be a success tomorrow." He said but I got up and threw some clothes at him. John picked the t-shirt up and looked at me, "A turtle shirt?" He asked because the shirt was decked out in tiny turtles.

"What?" I asked with a grin, "It fits with the whole marine animal thing." I said and he threw another pillow at me as he pulled the clothes I gave him on. I caught the pillow and made the bed while John went to the kitchen to make us breakfast.

There was a knock on the door so I hopped up and answered it, "Eliza!" I pulled her into a hug as she laughed and hugged back, "Good morning! Have you got a dorm? Which dorm is it? Who's your roommate?" I asked.

"Whoa slow down," Eliza teased and walked in without a proper invitation, not that she needed one. Eliza sat down on our sofa and looked over at me, "I'm dormed with Tori actually. Co-ed dorms aren't a thing here so she and Nate couldn't dorm and I offered to dorm with her because she was stressing out about who she'd be living with. Nathaniel is dormed with that Samuel Seabury guy, Angelica asked around about Samuel for Nate and everybody said he preaches the Bible like every day at the front of the college." She then shook her head, "Sorry I didn't tell you what dorm number. I'm in 265, the second floor as you can tell." Each dorm number told the location of the dorm with the numbers indicating which side from the elevators/stairs (over 50 to the left, under 50 to the right) and the first number is the floor number.

I nodded and John walked, "Liza!" He said when he saw her, "Oh I didn't make enough eggs for more than Alex and I..." He mumbled a bit concerned about needing more food.
