Ten (Laurmani)

Four

"Wow,  I can't believe this is the first time I've been in your dorm. It's very..interesting?" I spoke following the darker girl further into the room. It was pretty messy honestly and she didn't seem like the type to leave what looked like hot Cheeto crumbs all over the counters.

"If by interesting you mean, a hot ass mess, then yes I agree. I'm sorry. I told her to clean up before she left for class. She's the messiest person I know. Which is saying a lot seeing as I used to babysit preschoolers." She shook her head in disbelief sliding the crumbs into the trash. She maneuvered past me then started to gather up the loose papers scattered around the floor. "I wanted to get a transfer but I guess it's not so bad. I've had a lot worse."

"Oh, well I've only had one roommate. My friend, Ally. We've been friends since..forever honestly." I replied leaning against the side of the wall. She paused her movements and turned all her attention onto me.

"Ally Brooke?" I nodded though I was thoroughly confused. How the hell did she know that? "She's in one of my classes. She's always talking about her roommate, Lauren. She's a cute gorl. Very funny."

"Yeah..she has an interesti- what kind of things does she say?" I asked letting my curiosity get the best of me. If she's out there talking shit, I'm gonna fight her- which is funny to think about knowing that neither one of us can actually fight. At least it'd be fair. Normani giggled, putting the movie into the DVD player.

"Nothing bad, I promise. She just tells stories. The last one I think was about you two getting kicked out of the library?"

"Oh, that's an every week kind of thing." I laughed, following her towards the microwave. I do have to admit, I didn't really mind the view. Her body is amazing.

"Are you staring, Lauren?" She turned back towards me sporting a smirk. I couldn't even bring myself to speak. One, because I definitely was staring,and two, I was completely caught off guard and flustered. I didn't even want to know what color my face was now. "Aw, you're so cute when you're all worked up."

"I- shut up!" I groaned walking back to the room. I sat on her bed silently to wait for her return. This is going to be the hardest movie I'll ever have to sit through. Why did she have to be so god damn attractive?

"You can get comfy if you want. Are you okay? You seem a bit nervous." She sat a bowl of popcorn on the bed, tossing off her shoes and shirt. I fought hard against myself to advert my gaze then took off my shoes as well.

"I'm not nervous. I'm just a little tired. I've been studying practically all day and night. I don't want my GPA to go down." It wasn't a lie, but it also wasn't the truth. I was pretty nervous. She hummed climbing up onto the bed beside me. Before I could move to give her more room, she was cuddled up next to me. I didn't mind.

"What is it? Your GPA, I mean."

"U-um a..like a 3.9 or something I don't know. I just.." I took in a much needed breath and spoke again. "I don't want it going down. It'll look bad on my application."

"Yeah, I get that. Well, since you're tired, I won't mind if you fall asleep. I promise I'm good at cuddling." She tossed a few pieces of popcorn into her mouth, smirking over at me. I'm definitely not going to make it through this movie...

Well, I wasn't wrong. The movie had been abandoned at least an hour ago and since then, we've been talking. About nothing really, but I was enjoying it.

"What do you mean you think a pineapple would beat a watermelon in a fight? You realize how much heavier it is? It would get crushed." I argued shaking my head. The discussion was a bit ridiculous and I wasn't sure exactly how it started, but I was in too deep to turn back now. I wanted to win.

"No but, a pineapple is tough and sharp. If you hit a watermelon hard enough it will break." She countered eating another handful of the popcorn. I pulled some from her hand shaking my head.

"Yes, if you hit it, it will break. But not with a fucking pineapple, Mani. It's not hard enough." I can't believe she really thinks she's right.

"Yes. It is. It's spiked. A watermelon stands absolutely no chance. You're delusional." She laughed slapping the kernels from my hand making them tumble to the ground. I flipped her off waiting for her to continue. "A watermelon is hard but so is a pineapple and it has spikes for pr-"

"Nope. You're wrong. I'm right. Just admit it." I crossed my arms stubbornly and waited for her to say it. Minutes passed and she hadn't even so much as opened her mouth. "You're not gonna say it?"

"No, you're completely wrong, Lauren. I'm not even giving you the satisfaction of agreeing. You're wrong."

"Say I'm right."

"No."

"Normani. Tell me that I'm right."

"No."

"Normani korde-" I squealed suddenly feeling myself being flipped so that my back pressed against the mattress. My hands were pinned down by my head while she leaned down dangerously close.

"You're wrong, Lauren. Got it?" I gulped staring into her darkening eyes, all I could bring myself to do now was nod silently..wait, what was I wrong about? Eh, I didn't care. The only thing I wanted now was her.

My breaths quicken as she leaned closer and closer until...

"Mani! What are y- oh hey! I didn't know you were here with someone. She's cute." So this must be Dinah. She's tall- and apparently a huge fucking cockblock.

"I texted you saying I was. You said okay."

"Right. But I got bored and I forgot. But don't mind me. Continue."

"No I- um I should go I guess." I sat up, calming my breathing while brushing the stray crumbs off of me. "I...I'll text you or something. Bye." Once I was up from the bed I waved at both of them quickly then rushed out.

Wow, could I be any more awkward?
