That College Guy

A New chapter

All I can hear is Sophie scraping her knife on what I know are two pieces of burnt toast. That girl sure knows how to wake someone up. I roll over onto my side and grab my phone off my bedside cabinet.

*Two new messages from Mother Bear

One missed call from Papa*

I've been here for less than a day and they're already worrying about me. I love them to pieces but they sure can make a giant fuss over nothing. Especially when it comes to me. My little brother on the other hand is forever a saint in their eyes, they never bother him like this. I send them both a quick "I'm not dead yet"text and roll out of my bed. I traipse my way to the kitchen, the counters covered in bread crumbs but no other sign of Sophie...probably in her room, same as always.

After I had cleaned up Sophies mess like the fantastic friend I am, I casually grabbed myself a pot of yoghurt and a glass of OJ. I could hear the sound of music through Sophs door confirming my suspicions as I wandered back to my room. I sat and had my breakfast whilst watching an episode of 90210, what can I say, its cheesy but I love it.

I took a quick shower, brushed through my untamable mop of hair and put on some light makeup before I attempted to find myself an outfit for today. I rummaged through my wardrobe and came out with my trusty black jeans, a plain white shirt and my converses.

As I went to leave my room I heard faint speaking from down the hall. Has Soph truly reached the point of insanity where she talks to herself? I opened my door and walked to the voices. There is definitely someone else with Sophie. I can hold off the call for the looney bin for now.

"Oh and heres my room mate Alexis" Oh righto looks like this is my cue. I turn around to see a small redheaded girl stood in our doorway. I give her a small smile and a quick hello which are politely reciprocated.

I'm a pretty chatty person especially with really close friends. We all split for college hence why Sophie and Dylan are pretty much my only friends now we're here. I should probably go find the other dweeb, I have a rough idea of where his room is. With this in mind I grab my bag and phone and say goodbye to soph and the redhead who are now comfortably chatting on our sofa.

As I enter the boys dormhouse I realise that Dylans got to room with a stranger. He should have no problem with that, he's always been a popular guy, that typical stereotype. With girls constantly trying to flirt with him, leader of the rugby team and all the guys treating him like a god. Me and Dylan have been friends since forever really.

I knock on his door. When the door opens im so excited I throw myself into the arms of Dylan without even looking. As I look up to see Dylan I realise this definitely is not Dylan. Wow smooth move Al.

Immediately I back away muttering a thousand apologies and staring at my feet as I feel the blood rush to my cheeks. When I look up I see this guy stood in the doorway chuckling at me.

"No need to be sorry babe hug me all you want"

I can't help but notice the gravelly tone of his voice. However im quickly distracted by his body. He reminds me of a model the way he's leaning so casually against the doorframe in his grey vest and black jeans. His jaw bone looks like its been chiseled by the Gods and his eyes are a deep blue with flecks of green that compliment his black messy hair.

"You can also check me out all you want" He mutters with a wink.

This sentence brings me back to earth and I again stand there apologising to this adonis stood before me.

Oh crap Dylan.

"Um is Dylan here?"

He smiles a gleaming grin at me before turning round and shouting Dylans name. I have ample time for my eyes to wander down to this mystery guys behind as he walks away from me, it totally lives up to the rest of his body.

Then I spot Dylan walking from their kitchen, he immediately smiles at me.

"Allllllll!! Come on in!" he practically yells at me. Typical Dylan.

"I see you met Zach then?" he sniggered.

"Um yeah, lets not speak of that again"

"You know I will"

Thats the thing with my friends, they just love to embarrass me in front of anyone. I obviously can do that perfectly well on my own.

"Oh and I will too" Zach called from the sofa. I chose to ignore the statement from Zach and wandered over to their small kitchen where Dylan was stood. Suprise suprise.

"So how do you like your dorm?" I asked him as my eyes wandered around the room.
I heard him replying but I caught sight of how I met your mother on the tv and completely forgot to actually listen.

"For petes sake Al your attention span is pathetic!" Dylan sighed as he clicked in front of my face.

I blushed and apologised to him. I guess you  could say I'm pretty easily distracted.  I suppose that might be why I haven't even unpacked yet... maybe I should do that.

"I suppose I may need to unpack my bag... wanna help me Dylan? Cuz you lovveeee meeee" I pleaded making stupid kissy faces at him.

"I will, of course I get to be in charge of underwear though right?" Zach shouted over from the sofa.

"Think I'll pass on that one thanks, I wouldn't want you anywhere near my underwear" That definitely wouldn't be a good idea especially with the amount of cartoon pants I have... don't judge they're cute and comfy.

"As much as I love you, no can do Ally I'm going out on a run round campus" Dylan replied.

" You sicken me, mainly because you're running and secondly because I know you're just searching for girls" Dylan just smirked in response.

"What a lad" was Zachs intelligent input to our conversation.

"And I'm leaving, laters bitches" I said as I strutted my way out of their dorm.

Walking down the corridor it started to sink in just how different my life is now going to be. I feel like I'm in a movie. This is all very dramatic. Starting college is huge. My lessons start in a week to give us some time to settle in but there's going to be tonnes of 'bonding' activities to help us find new people.

I'm using that as prime scouting for hot guys time and hopefully I can find a few other girls that me and Soph can tag along with. Actually Soph already has that redhead, maybe she has some nice friends. I'll check that out tomorrow.

Or right now considering she's still in our dorm when I open the door. They both turn around from the same spot on the sofa where I left them. "Hey Lex" Soph motions for me to come sit.

I wander over and plop on the little chair in the corner. " Sorry I didn't catch your name before" I directed at the redhead.

"Oh whoops I'm Naomi, nice to meet you" she said with a genuinely adorable smile. It's now that I realise what a pretty girl she is. With dainty features and gorgeous green eyes she's a natural beauty.

"Nice to meet you too, I'm going to unpack, I'm sure I'll see you around here again" I sent her a warm smile as I wandered to my room.

When I got in I just looked at my suitcase. This is going to be a fun night.
