The Big Bang

New Boy in Town

A day later I'm in my apartment lying on my bed, my feet hanging in the air, back draping off the side. 

"Won't you ever learn to sit correctly?"

"Won't you ever learn to relax?" I turn upright to look at my roommate/one of my best friends Biana. 

"I can be relaxed. See? I'm doing a face mask."

I give her a look and go back to my original position. Biana is the type of girl to care about her looks, but not in an obsessive way. She is already pretty with auburn hair that flows downer back in waves, perfectly pinkish cheeks, and her families famous teal eyes. Although her looks make her seem delicate and dainty, never, NEVER, get her angry. She grew up with two older brothers, so she knows how to get dirty and is really good a getting revenge. 

Just then the door opened and two of my other best friends walked in. 

"Hey guys- Women! What is on your face?!" 

"Ahh! Monster! My sis is officially a monster!" 

"Oh shut up!" 

One had strawberry blond curls, dimples, periwinkle blue eyes, and is also sorta my cousin, Dex. He is a technological genius, even if he thought it was stupid at first. The other guy, Fitz, is the older, male version of Biana. 

"We brought pizza" Fitz aid as Dex held up the boxes. 

I jump out of my bed, grabbing the boxes, dashing to the counter and opening it up. "FOOD" I start to eat when everyone comes rushing into the room after me. 

"Don't you dare eat all of that again! It was a bad idea leaving you alone for a couple of minutes with food. That I promise, was the first and the last time I make that mistake." Dex said. 

"Save some for me!" Biana called from the other room.

We all sit on the couch, squished together like sardines in a can. We talk about the little things in life, how our classes are going, our jobs, anything that could be slightly interesting. This is our routine. This is our life, and I never want to change it. 

We all got into the same college because of a program that we were all a part of. Two of our other close friends, who are actually twins, go to another school close by, which also happens to be our rival school. All of our parents are close enough that we can visit them on the long weekends, all of our holidays are usually spent together. Our lives are perfect in this moment. 

"Sophie. Helooo." Fitz was waving a hand over my face. 

"Huh. What?" 

"Were you even listening?"

"Um- yeah. Totally." 

Biana rolled her eyes at me while Dex scoffed. 

"Anyway, back to what I was saying" Fitz continued, "Keefe is transferring to our school." 

"I'm sorry? Was that a sneeze?" I ask. 

Biana laughed, "That's a new one. I like it. Anyway, Keefe is Fitz's friend from before you were adopted. His parents made him go to a boarding school for his 'behavior problems', but he is coming back." 

"What do you mean by behavior problems?"

"Oh. You know. Skipping class, pranks, constant detention. Someone you would never guess wonderboy here ever hanging out with." 

Wonderboy is a nickname that Dex made up for Fitz when they were younger. Something about how Fitz was always the perfect child. 

"No, he was cool. He was definitely into pranks, jokes, and tricks. But once you look past his jokes and him being a jerk, he's kinda ok. And he was like the only male I had in my life."

"What about your dad and your brother?" Dex asked.

"Well, Dad loves his office, and Alvar loved his college," Bina replied. 

We all laugh as the topic changed to a new gadget Dex was working on. The boy from yesterday has slipped from my mind, I forgot that he was even there.
