I arrived at the campus and it was just overwhelmingly huge. I couldn't help but "wow" to myself. Then I realized that I lived here, but then I remember something scary..... I have a roommate now. What if she is a homophobe? What if she misgenders me? What is she makes fun of me? Oh god... what if she's hot. So many horrible things could happen
I found my key to my dorm and mentally prepared myself as I walked down to long hallway to my small dorm room. As I arrived, I heard noise coming from inside, at least she's a music person. I slowly opened the door to find a tall girl with tan skin, medium length black hair, green eyes, and pink luscious lips. She saw me and smiled. Then her smile turned quickly into a grin as she looked at me up and down.
She jumped up "YES!"
"Huh" I said quietly.
    She ran to her suitcase and started to hang up posters and put out blankets... all for gay pride. I couldn't help but smile.
"Sorry, I just saw you were- sorry... my name is Lana." She said happily
"Yeah, I noticed" I Laughed. "I'm Heather, or Heath whatever you prefer. Since you obviously noticed, I prefer the pronouns them or they." I said, trying to be social and normal. She was nice though.
''Ok, nice to meet you Heather! I'm assuming you are non binary or gender fluid?"
"Non binary, and I'm pan," I said. I'm not afraid of coming out anymore, I mean all you have to do is look at me to tell that I'm not straight.
"That's cool, I'm demisexual. I have a question though, do you have like a lot of crushes?" She laughed "Sorry, I know it's stupid."
"Actually, I don't like anyone at the moment, no such thing as a stupid question!" I laughed.  "Now I have a question, do you have like no crushes?"
She laughed "no, I get crushes sometimes, just not much. The person must be pretty special"
Then she did something surprising, she hugged me. Tightly and sweetly around my waist. It felt nice though and I smiled.
"Sorry, I'm just happy you are here. It's nice to have someone who gets it. I'll let you unpack now."
I smiled at her, I knew what she meant. I went ahead and unpacked my stuff, It took awhile to organize all of it. I had everything and more from binders to ACTUAL school binders. After I finished, I passed out on my new bed, I was so tired. Our dorm is nice actually, it's really small but it has its own bathroom which is nice. Mom said I would have to use a public one, I can't wait to prove her wrong on that. As I slept I heard Lana open her dresser, then I felt a tap.
"Hey"
I rolled over "Hm?"
"Do you wanna go to this party with me?"
"I'm not a really big party person..." I said tiredly.
"Please? Classes don't start for another week. Just try, you can stay with me the whole time." She said smiling sweetly at me.
"I don't know..."
"I'll give you the fluffy pride blanket"
"...fine"
"Yay!" She yelled happily as she pulled me out of bed. "Go get ready, fast!"
"Ok fine." I yawned.
    I digged and searched through my dresser and found an outfit that I may sorta be able to pull off. It is a light Gray loose tank top, and skinny androgynous black ripped jeans. I threw on some eyeliner and I'm ready to go.
"You look nice!" Lana said.
"You too! I like the messy bun thingy going on." I smiled.
    Lana had her hair pulled up into a cute messy bun and was wearing a dark purple shirt with a high neckline, but a low back, She wore a cute little black skirt to go with it. She looked really pretty, but I could never actually get myself to tell her that. I also don't want to upset her, I know she doesn't fall for people easily.
Lana called an Uber driver, and we piled into the back sit of the car. I hate parties, like A LOT. The last time I went to a party was My freshman year in high school. I honestly don't know why I'm even going... I just met this girl! I guess I just want to make a good impression.
