College Love Story

Moving In

"Wow, I haven't been here since Middle School... I wonder if Ayden ever left..." A cute young girl with dark black hair and green eyes said to herself. Her hair had deep purple tips, and her figure was slender yet curvy. She was wearing a white long sleeved crop top with black shorty-shorts and knee-high black kitten socks. Her hair reached down to her waist and was in a simple braid, and she was sitting on the city bus.

"Hello miss! My name is Ayden and I-" The girl had arrived at the school, a student with brown hair and green eyes coming to meet her. "Huh? Alex? Is that really you?" Alex looked a little bit upwards, nodding her head. "It's me, Ayden! From Middle School!" Her eyes widened in recognition and she pulled him into a hug. "Ayden! I missed you so much!" Tears were welling up in Alex's eyes and many people were staring at them. "I missed you too, shorty." Ayden was almost exactly as she remembered, tall, strong, and cocky. "So, is this college okay?" She asked. "It's not much, considering the fact there are some really messed up people that go here. Classes are average and the dorms are nothing special." Ayden explained.

"This is your dorm. Your roommate is someone named 'Misty'. Have fun shorty, I have to go since my classes start soon. I'll drop by later!" Alex knocked on the door and a muffled "Come in!" shouted from behind the small wooden frame. A girl with dark blue hair and grey eyes was sitting on the couch, a gaming headset on and she was cursing out something. Her clothing consisted of a black turtleneck and blue jeans. "Screw this! It's impossible!" She tossed a game controller on the floor and turned to look at Alex. "Who are you?" She asked angrily. "U-um, my name's Alex. I'm your new roommate!" Alex tried to smile but she was a little scared. "Roommate huh? Well that side of the room is yours, try to leave me alone princess." The girl turned back to her game over screen and cursed again. "What game are you playing?" Alex asked, leaning over so that she could see better. "Get Out Alive, not like you would know." Misty grumbled. "Let me try." Alex had a determined look in her eyes as she sat down. Misty looked at her, dumbfounded, and handed Alex the headset and controller. "It's simple, really, amatuar games like these." Alex said as she slipped the headset on. "Alright guys, I want you to line up behind me. When I say go, I want everyone to jump and duck in midair." She instructed, talking into the headset. When the two bombs were thrown everyone had managed to dodge them. "Now, THEW2PLAYER (look her up on Roblox lol!) I need you to grab three other people and be a shield. That way me and AlexIs_aKawaiiPotato (look me up on Roblox!) can get through the machine guns and grab the artifact. Then the whole party can win!" Soon there was a 'You Win!' screen and Alex tossed the gaming equipment to Misty. "You should find a faster team," was all she said. "Hey, Alex was it? That was pretty amazing." Misty admitted. "Really? I've been gaming for a lot of years, so that was just a warm up. Sorry, that sounded to cocky!" Alex apologized quickly. "Don't apologize, cutie. Just tell me how you did that!"

Soon there was a knock on the door. "Alex Terres? My name's Gene, I wanted to talk to you." Alex jumped up from her bed and cracked open, poking her head out. "Me? Why?" She asked curiously. "Well, we heard that you and Ayden knew each other. Is that true?" She nodded shyly. "Well, if you do know Ayden, I'm here to warn you. A girl, Sasha Livihan, will do anything to get him to notice her. She hates other people he hangs out with, especially girls. I can try to protect you from her, but she seems insane. Be careful, okay?" Alex stepped out completely and hugged Gene. "Thank you for telling me this, that's very nice of you." He blushed and hugged her back. "Yeah, anyways, do you want to maybe get a coffee later?" He asked her, rubbing the back of his neck. "Sure! Here, I'll give you my number so you can contact me!" She scribbled the numbers down on a scrap of paper and handed it to Gene, who gladly took it. "How about tomorrow, 3pm?" He asked her. "Sure! Contact me if you have to cancel, okay?" She smiled happily and waved him off.

Meanwhile, Sasha was swooning over Ayden in English. "Senpai, you are just so cute~" She sighed as she stared at him. "Girl, you should talk to him!" Her friend Kathy said. "Yeah! I'll talk to Senpai after class!"

Ayden slowly got up and picked up his bag. "What am I forgetting...?" He asked himself. "OH SHOOT! I NEED TO MEET ALEX!" He yelled, making the few heads left in the room turn towards him. Sasha looked puzzled. "I've never heard of someone named Alex... it's probably nothing..."

Alex was sitting on a bench in the park, waiting patiently. "I'm... here..." Ayden wheezed, his head lowered and hands on his knees. "Ehehehe~ you're so silly, we weren't supposed to meet for ten minutes!" She smiled cutely. "Senpai! Senpai!" Sasha came running up behind Ayden, screaming her name for him. "Um, who are you?" He asked. "Ahahahaha! Very funny, Senpai! I'm Sasha. We have English together?" Sasha seemed to finally notice Alex. "And who are you?" She asked rudely. "Ah, um, I'm Alex. It's nice to see Ayden's making new friends." Alex said, still smiling. "Well, I have you, so I don't really need another friend." He huffed, quickly recovering from running. "Aw, Ayden! That's really sweet, but having new friends isn't going to kill you, ya know?" Alex reached up to ruffle Ayden's hair and turned towards Sasha. "Hm, Senpai huh? Didn't you call me that in our video game? I remember you being all embarrassed about it, so I looked it up. It's for someone you really care about, right? Maybe I should start calling Senpai..." Alex tapped her chin in thought. "No, he's my Senpai! You better back off, skank!" Ayden gasped and muffled noises came from Alex. When Sasha looked over, she was crying. "A-am I a s-skank, Senpai?" she sniffled. "Of course not cutie, you're so adorable! Sasha was just kidding, okay?" Ayden was quick to pull Alex into a hug, patting her head gently. He wiped the tears from her face. "Thanks, Senpai. Oh, do you know someone named Gene? I guess he's just a little paranoid, because he said Sasha was crazy! She seems really nice actually." Alex smiled and offered her hand to Sasha. 'Do you want to hang out with us?" Sasha slapped her hand away. "No way!" She said. "Senpai, why won't you just notice me?" She sighed as she walked away, but not before saying;

"I'll see you in hell, Alex Terres."
