Home Dorm and New Roommate

Nancy took a deep breath and stood in front of the door of the dorm room number 15.

This is it.

She had planned to be here at this particular school, at this particular dorm for an entire year. And the reason was a certain someone she saw last year when she was attending the foundation day of her sister's school.

All of her life, Nancy had always been chased by guys, both American and Korean (she grew up partly in Ohio, her father's hometown and Korea, her mother's hometown.) She enjoyed being chased by all those guys and especially enjoyed dating cute guys.

But that particular day at MMLD high, her sister's school, she laid eyes on a particular girl with a ponytail who clumsily ran up and stood at the centre of the stage podium and sang the theme song of "dream high" as a part of the entertainment programme of the function.

The song was one of her favourites but she wasn't singing along to it.

Nancy stood there completely awestruck, not by her voice, but by "Her".

"Who is she?" Nancy whispered to no one in particular but her sister replied with a, " She is our junior, I've seen her a couple of times." And she was glad her sister heard her.

After that day, Nancy knew she was going to leave her school in Ohio and admit herself here, to where she belonged: with her.

She shook her head as she smiled and cleared her mind.

Nancy focus, she tells herself.

She took another breath and knocked on the door.

There was silence.

She knocked again, three knocks a time, just like Sheldon.

A couple set of knocks later, a sleepy blond girl opened the door and peeked out of the barely opened door.

Nancy smiled at her.

The girl inside the room looked confused for a while but then she gradually widened her eyes along with the door.

She pointed at Nancy and said, "the new roommate they informed me about. Shoot! Why are you early?"

It was already 7

Nancy raised her eyebrows at her.

"I was just kidding." she giggled like a madwoman a moment later.

"I am Joo E and you are?" she asked taking Nancy's hand and shaking it vigorously.

"I am Nancy. Nice to meet you." Nancy replied.

She let go of Nancy's hand and nodded slightly while smiling and leaning at the doorframe.

"Can I come in?" Nancy asked.

"Oh I am such a freak, come on in," she said, dragging Nancy's trolley bag inside.

"it's alright. I can do it myself", Nancy said.

"Nah, I will do it. You should just shut up and enjoy my offer while it lasts."

She plopped the baggage on a bed which Nancy assumed was hers.

"Make yourself at school dorm," she said laughing.

Nancy laughed too.

With the way she was behaving, Nancy would have suddenly hated her but she couldn't seem to hate this girl.

Nancy smiled.

I found a good roommate.
