     I walked along the corridor in the Star Sign Prep. Looking for my room, 210, 211, 212. Finally! 213! I noticed the door hanging open. Yay, I get to room with someone incapable of closing a door. I hope the people drop off my suitcases soon I would like to get settled before school and the tour tomorrow.  I opened the door and was suddenly in complete shock! Clothes were strewn all over the floor, soda and pizza stained the once perfectly white carpet. 

      "Hello?" I asked, scared of who will answer "Seriously? It's been 5 minutes and you already trashed our room!" suddenly I saw something that made me jump out of my skin. A pair of boxers sat on the armchair on the right side of the room. I took a step back and shut the door. 

     "Maybe he's a trans boy. It'll be okay." I breathed in and out slowly before reopening the door and stepping inside the room. I crossed to the left side of the room and sat on the bed. all the mess made it hard to concentrate on an image of my dorm-mate, since they happened to not be present. So, I decided to start cleaning, dusting here polishing there until the whole thing shone like a dimond. I bleached the carpet and cleaned the bathroom. 

     I hear a nock at the door I walk over and answer it, a staff member asked my name, reported that I had two packages and gave me them, a welcome pamphlet and my luggage. I thanked him and shut the door, going back to my side of the room. I started to organize my things in my closet dresser and bathroom. After everything was cleaned up, I set an alarm on my phone for one hour and started to read.

     About halfway through my regular reading time, something thudded against the door. I placed the book on my night stand and stared, with concern at the door.

     A young boy walked inside and stared at me, took a step back and shut the door, " You gig not see a girl, you are just seeing things" he reopened the door and said " Yep, rooming with a girl" he slowly inched over to his bed and sat down.

     I rolled my eyes and picked up my phone, cancelling the timer and calling my second best friend; Aries. " Hey!!! " I said dramatically " what's your room number?" She answered with "223" I was relieved to know we only lived a couple doors down. " K, be over in a sec.". I turned to look at the boy, who was staring at my chest. Uhhgg! I hate boys like this!

     " Hey! My face is up here!" I say angrily " Not down there."

     " Oh, right, sorry!" He said "My name is Scorpio and I am a boy." He said, maintaining firm eye contact. 

     " No dip, Sherlock" I said " Don't make a mess while I'm gone." I say strictly.

     " That was actually my friends fault, I'm normally neat. Thanks for cleaning up though!" He said, forcing a sweet smile, ehh, he is kinda cute.

     " Don't expect me to be nice and open about feelings." I said 

     " Me neither" he said promptly.
