To explain the song, every chapter I'll put one of my person fav songs. It's a good way to discover good new music, remember this is just my preference! :)

(Chapter 1)

Keith had finished high school a few months ago. He had applied for a college in the same week, practically right after his graduation.

Keith wasn't really the study geek type. He was naturally good at school and picked things up quickly. He'd pay attention for a few minutes every class, taking in the important information and shutting out the rest. He'd use his extra time to memorize what he had taken in.

He kept his free time to himself and still learned what he needed to know. He passes every test with at least what he need to pass. He was the top of most of his classes.

Lance on the other hand had a different strategy when it came to school. Lance would pay attention to everything. He was writing everything down in his notes and spent all night memorizing every bit of it.

Though, by the time he'd get sat down and ready for his test, he'd forget all the important stuff. He'd normally barely pass. He was obsessed with trying to please his family. They'd consistently put up his twin sister Veronica's grades on the refrigerator while they'd give Lance their "disappointment" speech about how he'd have to do better... much better.

He was often compared to his sister and the top student of many of his classes. Keith. It seemed like Keith was this perfect guy who was better than him, possibly everyone else. He was sick and tired of hearing his name so often. It wasn't anger, it was jealousy. Sadness too. All he ever wanted was to please his family and he worked so hard for it but it seemed like Keith was still so naturally and easily better than him.

Lance had decided after he graduated that he'd apply for a college far away so he could have a year or so for himself. To develop into the person who could make his family proud, without their constant disapproval.

Keith applied for the same college unintentionally. He had heard that their majors often got enjoyable and high end jobs once they got their degree.

Keith was studding art and animation while Lance was studding to be a doctor.
(Their college had many courses and classes that correspond to different jobs.)

Time Skip (after arriving at the college campus where they'd get settled into their dorms 1 week before college classes start)

Everyone was sent an email with their dorm information.

Keith skimmed over the information.

Floor: 2
Dorm: 6
Roommate: Lance McClain
All classes start September 17
(*class timing info*)

Lances looked the same except with Keith's name as his roommate replacing his own.

Keith picked up his keys and brought his suitcase up the stairs with him until he reached his assigned dorm.
He opened the door and started unpacking.

He made his bed with white sheets , 2 pillows with white pillow cases and a red comforter.
He set his backpack with all his school supplies in it on his bed. He hung his clothes up on the his side of the shared closet. (His red jacket, a black shirt, a grey shirt, black jeans, blue jeans, a black winter coat) he set his boots and sneakers on the floor of the closet next to a small box with his socks and underwear in it. He placed a framed family photo on his shelf along with some books, a journal, an extra Sketch book, his art tablet, his laptop, headphones and chargers.
Finally he kept a small box of personal belongings under his bed.

He had finished unpacking in 15 minutes. It took another 10 minutes or so for his roommate to finally arrive.

Keith (who was sitting on his bed playing on his phone) could hear the door slowly creak open so he decided to introduce himself.

"Hey, I'm Keith! You must be my roommate... Lance right-?" Keith said as the tanned boy walked into their shared room.

"Ohhh NO FUCKING WAY!" Lance groaned as he threw his backpack on the other bed that wasn't occupied by Keith.

Keith looked up from his phone and ended up staring into deep blue eyes that looked like they were about ready to murder him. He looked the boy up and down finally realizing what was going on.

"Are you kidding me." Keith complained under his breath.

Lance rolled his eyes and walked over to his bed.

He made his bed with royal blue sheets and pillow cases with a white comforter.
He hung his green jacket, baseball tee, blue shirt, blue jeans and a few other articles of clothing up on his side of the closet. He put his boots and sneakers on his side along with his box.
He finished putting his personal belongings up on the shelf  before sitting down on his bed.
He starred at Keith for a solid 2 minutes before finally speaking to the distracted boy.

"So what exactly are you studying?"

To be continued next chapter...

I hope this chapter is okay :) please give feedback! It's really appreciated and I'd love to know what you think of the story so far.

Keith and Lance have a week of dealing living with each other before classes start. How do you think they'll end up spending their time? Studying? Partying? Bonding?
