Roommates

Chapter 8- Never Start Mess With The Devil

He's here.

He's coming.

"Stop! Please, leave me alone! Please!" I beg and beg and beg, but he won't listen. 

He never did.

I sit up panting, sweat dripping down my forehead. It's happened again. A defeated sigh escapes from my lips. He won't leave me day or night, awake or asleep. I can't get away; I never could.

I check the time on my phone. 5:45. May as well get up now. The alarm will go off soon anyways. Ryder's still asleep. Thankfully. It's our first day at college today. The last day of freedom before pressure gets poured upon us non-stop. Great.

Getting in the shower, I rinse away the thoughts and the sweat. Everytime this happens it's like a kick in the teeth. Making me re-live each second without mercy. I need to stop. This needs to stop. Another defeated sigh escapes my lips when I realise I didn't bring my clothes in with me. Oh well, I'll just go grab them then walk back in here.

Wrapping the towel securely around me, I walk out past Ryder and into the closet.

I'm not really in the mood today so I chose a white vest top with grey ripped jeans, white trainers and of course my leather jacket. Clo will probably kill me for dressing so casual for college, especially on the first day, but whatever I can't be bothered today. My hair's already straight from yesterday so I just brush it out and leave it down. I quickly get changed in the bathroom and the walk out ready to do my make up. 

Checking the time, it says it's 7:00. Spent longer in the shower then intended I suppose. Ah well, I have 1 hour to do my make up and wake Ryder up and then download the schedules because I don't actually know what I have today. Oops.

I was going to do a full face of make up but I'll just stick to the mascara and eyeliner, and the final touch... red lipstick! 

I really should wake Ryder up soon. He turned the alarm off and went back to sleep. Lazy ass. Hmm maybe I should get pay back for how he woke me up. Quickly looking for Luke's contact (that he named as 'BAE' with the emoji's with the hearts for eyes and the kissy face) I called him. He should be good for this sort of thing.

"Whaaaat?" he groaned into the phone. Well someone else that doesn't like mornings.

"Shh too loud. Meet me in the hallway. I need your help to prank Ryder!"

"I'm up and coming!" he whisper shouted a bit too energetic for saying he just woke up. I hung up on him and tip-toed to the front door. This whole thing would be ruined if he woke up.

As soon as I opened the door I was met with Luke. Well he is directly in front of our room. He sent me a cheeky smile and waved. I did the same and motioned for him to follow me down the hall towards the stairs.

"So what's the payback for and what do you have in mind?" he asked straight to the point "we could ask Mason. He is really good at this sort of stuff."

"Yeah call him out we could use the extra mind."

10 minutes later

"So it's sorted then?"

"Yes, all done. He may be waking soon so this will need to be executed rather promptly."

"Oh enough with all your posh, long words. Seriously who says 'rather' and 'executed' in that context anymore. It's action time!" as Luke said this he played the 007 theme tune and rolled down the hallway. 

"Idiot" i whispered under my breath and shook my head smiling.

"I agree"

"I heard that. Both of you. Come on we don't have all morning!"
