8. Familiar Faces

(So Wattpad has been stuffing up and saying that I haven't been uploading shit, But I have notifications from you guys saying you have read Chapter 7, So please let me know if you have and if it is up, Because for all intents and purposes, According to Wattpad, Chapter 7 is no where to be seen. Thank you guys.)

Lachlan's POV

Walking away and finally getting to my room, I was surprised to find Mitch already sitting on the couch, With his laptop on the table we decided to move in front of the furniture. Why would we need a tv or a coffee table if we already half live on our technology?

Mitch: "Hey."

Lachlan: "Hey, Uh I was wondering if I could ask you something?"

Mitch: "I mean I would probably feel a bit upset if you couldn't considering the whole we live together thing."

Ok he had a point but I've heard of people who have hated their room mates. I guess I was lucky. But I was also half freaking out a bit.

Lachlan: "I uh, I just came from class and I noticed Trisha on her laptop doing some work, Or at least I thought she was doing some work but I stopped and had a chat. I asked her what she was doing and she was writing up or organising or something a campaign for Dungeons and Dragons. She asked me if I was interested in joining her and her friends for it."

Mitch: "Oh sick really? I heard her and her friends are really creative like that. I wonder if she would let me join in."

Lachlan: "She said they were full but she would take someone out to let me in."

Mitch: "Oh jealous. Wait she would pull someone out just to give you a spot in the game, Did you say yes?"

Lachlan: "No I didn't I said I was more interested in my games being on a console or a computer unfortunately. I was never really into the whole board game thing. But that's not why I need help."

Mitch: "Oh right you asked for something hey, What's up man?"

Lachlan: "I feel like I don't belong here."

Mitch: "Wait what? As in you don't feel like you should be here in this University or like, You don't feel like you belong here in the room with me? I mean I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable but still."

Lachlan: "What? No god no Mitch you are a brilliant housemate, I don't know anyone who wouldn't want you... Ok well aside from Simon and Josh, But that's because of Jerome."

I heard Mitch let out a deep sigh before he walked over to me and gave me a hug, I was a bit surprised by the action so I was a little shocked before I hugged him back.

Mitch: "I'm going to go and talk to Josh and Simon about it all and set it straight that I'm not with him anymore."

Lachlan: "Oh Mitch I'm sorry."

Mitch: "Nah don't be. I can still be his friend but like... I don't know I just feel that was the last straw, And with you guys all talking and getting to know each other, I wouldn't want to be the reason you all can't hang out here as well you know."

Lachlan: "Don't worry about that man. Hey why don't you go do this because it is way more important right now for you."

Mitch: "It's not, But you Lachlan deserve to be here, That is a given. We are going to be doing videos and starting up next week so you can't leave now, With a few people dropping out already, It won't take long before more people start to move in and take over."

Lachlan: "Wait people are already dropping out?"

Mitch: "Oh yeah, A few people from GRA have pulled out. One of the Sidemen decided to opt out and just do solo stuff in music. I don't know why he wanted to do that because he was one of their most watched."

Lachlan: "What an idiot."

Mitch: "They were anticipating it apparently. Anyway Lachlan, I mean it. If you are already here, Then clearly you were meant to be here for a reason. Whether that was for doing this or for doing something else. Just relax and breathe, Why not start thinking about what games and stuff you want to do. If there is anything you want to do as a group or something just let me know, I'll be down."

Lachlan: "Uh, Yeah sure."

Mitch: "I'm going to head off for now, I'll see you later ok? Remember, Throw yourself into this and maybe you will start to love it?"

Lachlan: "Uh, Ok."

Mitch: "It won't take long, There aren't many Australian people doing this at the Campus, There are hundreds actually on the site, But with training and the experience. You could be one of the best."

I just watched as he let go and smiled at me, Grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge before he took a deep breath and walked out of the apartment, I still refuse to call this a dorm room. I followed suit, Letting out the breath I didn't realise I was holding onto.

Lachlan: "I'm glad you think this is easy mate, I'm shitting myself."

I looked down at myself before I put my bag into my room before picking up my phone off my charger and walked out the door, I needed a drink and something light to snack on. I have different plans with Vik.

????: "Fuck."

I looked up quickly and saw someone sprinting in the other direction, But the hair, The build, I don't know. I felt like I know him.

Lachlan: "Hey wait I know you from somewhere."

????: "No you don't."

He screamed it out back at me before he turned to the left and entered one of the doors leading to a room, Slamming it shut behind him.

Lachlan: "That was weird."

Harry: "Do you know him?"

Harry popped his head out when someone had screamed down the halls, In fact a few people were looking at me funny.

Lachlan: "I don't know, He seems familiar but I can't put my finger on it. It's going to piss me off because I noticed him in our Lecture with Mark this morning as well."

Harry: "Well I know he's close with Michael and his friends, And Michael has Music with Vik later, Why not try and ask one of them about it?"

Caitlin: "What the fuck has he done now?"

Preston: "Michael?"

Caitlin: "Wait no we can't talk about that shit."

Lachlan: "Can't talk about what?"

Caitlin&Preston: "Nothing."

Lachlan: "Fuck, Now I have to talk to them until they tell me."

Harry: "Or you could just wait and let them do it on their own?"

Lachlan: "Harry. I'm impatient, And right now I am kind of annoyed about something."

Harry: "Sounds like a you problem."

I heard the sound of some very fast shooting coming from their room.

Lachlan: "What?"

Caitlin: "If you are going to just leave your game and leave yourself in the room, I'm absolutely going to kill you."

Preston: "It's the only kill you will get."

Caitlin: "Fuck you."

Preston: "Never going to happen, We are taken."

Lachlan: "I'm going to go and grab something to eat, I'll talk to you guys later."

Harry: "Oh hey I should let you know."

Lachlan: "What?"

Harry: "Go easy on Vik yeah, He's not use to having all the attention around him, Having someone like you start asking him and interrogating him might not work out well. Just take it easy, Maybe bring it up with someone else?"

I looked at him as he shrugged and then walked back into his place. Screaming at Caitlin again. Good luck mate, Seems like you will need it. But that guy, I swear to fuck I've seen him before. And I mean actually physically seen him, Not online or over the internet, Not on tv, I mean went to school with or even knew in person... Who the fuck are you?
