Returning to his dormitory after his long journey to buy his dinner box from the cafeteria downstairs, An Lian was immediately confronted by his energetic roommate Xi Jun.
"An Lian, have you heard? We're finally getting a new roommate to fill in the last bed!" Xi Jun enthusiastically stated.
"And to add on that, I heard that roommate is none other than Jian Chen! Can you believe it, Jian Chen hahaha... Our popularity is sure to rise this time if we get in his good books".
Jian... Chen... who was that again? Sounds familiar.
"Well if he's coming to stay in our dorm we better make some space" An Lian replied.
"AH! That's right we've been using that spare bed and desk as storage, we better get that cleared before he comes. How about I'll clear the bed-" Xi Jun says while motioning to the bunk bed below their roommate Yu Ming's, " -and you clean the desk".
Before An Lian could say anything Xi Jun was already at it collecting books and papers and organising them into piles.
An Lian reluctantly put down his meal and went to clear the small desk in the corner of his shared dormitory in preparation for the new dorm-mate.
Weeks of old takeout containers and books littered the surface of the desk as it had become a dumping ground for the three teenaged boys living there.
After the desk was cleared and wiped down the door opened and Yu Ming walked in.
"Yu Ming! You startled me I thought Jian Chen had arrived already. I had a heart attack I don't want his first impression of me be that I'm a pig!" Xi Jun yelled.
Yu Ming immediately retorted: "But you are a pig."
Yu Ming continued, "Anyway, Jian Chen won't be coming until later this afternoon so there's no need to rush."
Hearing this Xi Jun frowned: "All that wasted energy..."
An Lian quickly added: "Well the bed would still need to have been cleaned anyway so no loss right? We can use the remaining time to clean up the rest of the dorm a bit."
Xi Jun quickly agreed and the two got to work freshening up the dorm.
"Hey Yu Ming... why aren't you helping?" Xi Jun realised after throwing out a stack of instant noodle cups.
"I don't care for my image much, plus I'm not trying to impress Jian Chen." Yu Ming replied swiftly.
"Suit yourself, don't come crawling back when we're surrounded by pretty girls calling our names." Xi Jun smugly replied.
But An Lian had different thoughts,
Well it's more like the state of the dorm was becoming a health hazard...
After the dorm looked clean enough both Xi Jun and An Lian collapsed on their beds.
An Lian suddenly remembered the food he bought earlier.
Ah, it's probably cold by now. Oh well...
Despite his meal being cold, An Lian still ate it all without a second thought, it was after all the first meal he had eaten today. Since morning, An Lian had been running around doing errands for teachers preparing for the next term and had no chance to eat anything.
After he finished, An Lian decided to go to the communal bathroom in the dormitory building to wash up.
Seeing An Lian collect his bathroom things, Xi Jun quickly said: "Xiao Lian, Jian Chen is about to arrive, don't you want to greet him?"
Yu Ming interrupted: "Wont he still be here when An Lian returns? Can't he greet him then?"
"This is true... But won't it be better to meet him first?" Xi Jun replied.
"It's okay, I'll see him later it's not that big of a deal, right? We're just roommates."
Having said this An Lian continued to make his way out of the room and walk toward the bathroom. Arriving there, An Lian was glad to see it was empty. He hated washing up around other people, he always felt everyone was throwing glances at him. He always felt very uncomfortable and rushed through the process.
As it was the middle of winter and the dormitory building had little heating, once An Lian was finished he exited the bathroom and quickly made his way back to his warmer shared dorm room.
Once he entered he immediately saw an open suitcase and a new member in the room.
Jian Chen... that's why his name is so familiar. Tall, domineering aura, muscular yet lean build it's our schools most popular male – Jian Chen. He's in the running club, right?
"You're An Lian?"
An Lian... Wait! That's me!
"It's nice to meet you. You must be Jian Chen." An Lian replied after a brief moment of silence.
Xi Jun quickly cut in: "Xiao Lian, Jian Chen will stay in the bed above yours. Since he prefers the top [A/N ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ] bunk I've decided to swap."
What are you playing at Xi Jun, still trying to get his favour? Well as long as it doesn't hurt anyone...
"Okay then, if there's nothing else I have to go back to get my last few books." Jian Chen stated.
"I'll come help!" Xi Jun quickly jumped in.
"No need." Was all Jian Chen said before leaving the room and closing the door.

Hello, author here!
So here's the first chapter, what do you think?
I've pre-written half the book already, and I can't wait to share with you! The plot moves along not too fast, but not too slow either. If you have any suggestions, feel free to tell me!
Does anyone want a character summery? As many more characters may be introduced, I don't want people getting confused. ^^
