Thomas' P.O.V.

I stepped out of my car and walked to the back. I popped open the truck and pulled out my bag. It was very big and filled to the brim with clothing and other items. I pulled it out and set it on the ground then popped out the handle at the top. I closed the truck, grabbed the bag, and started walking to my dorm.

I wondered who my roommate was. I had called the school a few times and asked who it was but, they refused to tell me. They said it was against the schools rules and guide lines. I had gotten to choose my roommates over the last few years but, this year they changed the rules and chose for us. I thought it was ridiculous but, decided to keep my comments to myself.

I pulled my suitcase up the stairs and walked over to the door. I was about to put the key in when I heard cheering inside. I stopped and listened in. It sounded like there was a huge group in there. I decided to knock instead of just letting myself in.

Alex's P.O.V.

I smiled and squealed. "I love it guys!" I exclaimed.

I pulled everyone into a group hug and they cheered, "We're glad you like it!" I smiled and let go of everyone. I sat on the bed and grabbed the laptop box. It read Microsoft Surface Laptop and had a picture of the laptop design on the box along with other small text. I pulled the box open and pulled out the laptop, leaving the mouse and charger in the box. I set the box to the side and cheered, "I love you guys so much! I've wanted a laptop for the longest time!" They all smiled and Angie said, "We know. You wouldn't stop talking about how much you wanted one." Everyone laughed and I joined in. This was the best!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and everyone went silent. It must be my new roommate. I set my laptop off to the side and got up excitedly. I couldn't wait to see who my roommate was. I walked over to the door and opened it. I put my hand out as I said, hello. The guy standing at the door looked up from the ground and we both took a step back and sneered, "You!" My roommate was Thomas! Our little conversation earlier was okay but this was not okay.

Thomas crossed his arms and glared at me as he said, "There is no way you are my roommate. They must have given me the wrong room number."

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms, glaring back as I replied, "Definitely. I am not staying in the same room as you."

"I'm gonna go talk to the main office. I am not going to stay with you. You never shut up, you stay up all night, and you can never back down and just admit that I'm right. I can't live with that," Thomas sneered as he grabbed the handle of his bag.

"Excuse me! I don't back down because I know I'm right and I can't stand you. You're selfish, arrogant, cocky, hateful, and rude!" I replied, my voice rising.

Thomas had started to walk away but, quickly turned around and yelled, "Oh you got it all wrong! You're the one arrogant! You think you always know best, you think you're the smartest person out of everyone all the time! You're rude! You constantly tell people their wrong and convince everyone to ditch their beliefs and follow whatever you say when half the time it doesn't even make sense and it's all nonsense!" By the end of Thomas' yelling he was right in front of me with his fists curled at his side. His face was red from anger.

I clenched my fists tightly and went to swing at him when John grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Lafayette appeared at my other side and Hercules pulled me back from behind. The Schuyler sisters quickly placed themselves between Thomas and I. Angie and Eliza each grabbed one of his arms and Peggy grabbed his bag. Peggy threw his bag into the room then lead the three of them downstairs and out of sight.

Once Thomas was out of sight Hercules, Lafayette, and John let go of me. I crossed my arms and sat on my bed. The three of them sat on the bed along with me.

"Come on Alex don't be upset please. We were only trying to keep you from making mistakes that could get you in big trouble. Fighting isn't aloud on school grounds," John said, he was sitting right next to me.

"I'm not mad at you guys. Thomas is going to be my roommate the whole school year. I hate him! I can't stand to be in the same room as him!" I replied, my voice getting louder.

"Okay Alex. Just calm down," John said, holding his hands up in defense and leaning back.

I sighed and said, "Alright. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blow up on you guys I just really hate him."

"We know," John, Lafayette, and Hercules said at the same time. I started to laugh and soon they did too. All thoughts of Thomas gone.

Thomas' P.O.V.

The Schuyler sisters walked me down the stairs of the dorm building and to the little office that was specifically for dorms as they tried to calm me down. 

"Thomas, calm down," Eliza cooed as she rubbed my arm. I tensed up when she began to rub my arm. None of Alex's friends were ever this nice to me or nice to me at all. She noticed I was tense and stopped rubbing my arm. I sighed. Peggy opened the door to the office and walked in. I followed her along with Angie and Eliza. We walked up to a small desk near the front of the building and Peggy cleared her throat to get the lady's attention. The lady had short brown hair with grey streaks and a pair of black rimmed glasses. She turned her head up to look at us.

"Excuse me miss. We would like to talk to you about roommates. You see my friend here," Peggy said to her, gesturing toward me. I smiled weakly. Peggy continued, "and his assigned roommate hate each other. Is there anyway we can change who their roommate is?"

The lady laughed, "Nope. You're stuck with your roommate the whole school year so, you better figure out how to get along with them now or it is going to be one tough year."

I groaned in response. A whole year with Alex sounded extremely unpleasant.

Peggy sighed, "Alright. Come on guys." She turned from the desk and walked toward the door. She opened the door and walked through. I followed her as Eliza and Angie continued to hold my arms, slightly dragging me.

I sighed, "Can you guys please let go of me?" The two sisters looked at each other in surprise. I could tell that they were shocked I didn't just say some snarky comment or rude remark. I did that a lot so, I could understand but, it hurt. The stabbing pain in my chest was weak and quickly faded as the sister let go. We continued to walk in silence.

I wondered where we were going, why James didn't come greet me at the airport, why I had to bump into Alex of all people this morning. So many thoughts swirled in my head as we walked. We got to a staircase and I absentmindedly walked up it, not realizing where we were going. We got to the top of the stairs and I realized that we had been walking back to the dorm. I really didn't want to deal with Alex. He was so stubborn and close minded. I sighed.

Peggy turned around to face me and asked, "So are you ready to go in there and talk to Alex?" I definitely was not ready and talk to Alex. I didn't want to go in there and talk to Alex but, I knew I had to if I didn't want to be sleeping on the sidewalk.

I took a deep breath, "Yeah. I'm ready." Peggy smiled reassuringly at me then turned and knocked on the door. I straightened my posture and put on one of my classic cocky smiles, that looked more like a smirk, just as the door began to open. I hoped that this would go well and wouldn't end with one of us punching the other one. 

A/N: Hey guys! I actually updated twice yesterday and I've updated at least once today which is more than I had planned. I have been lacking motivation to write and yesterday something just clicked and now all I want to do is write. I got my motivation back! So, plan on getting a chapter or two a day for now. I'll try to write as much as I can while I'm motivated and active. I hope you guys enjoy my story so far!
