Innocent and Badass

M A C K E N Z I E

Today is the day I move into my college dorm! I can't believe I'm in college now. I'm so old!

I'm currently standing at the trunk of my brothers car, as he goes on and on about what I should and shouldn't do in college.

"No parties. No getting drunk. Never leave Ethan's side unless you REALLY have to!" Brandon said. Which made me instantly listen more than I was.

"Ethan's gonna be here!" Brandon sighed, realizing I wasn't really listening to him.

Suddenly, two big arms were wrapped around my arms and waist, locking me in place. I turned my head to see my brothers best friend grinning down at me. I squealed and got out of his grip. I wrapped my arms around Ethan's neck, while his arms are tightly around my waist. Raising me and spinning me around.

"Hey principessa." He whispered in my ear, which made my cheeks go red.

We released each other from the hug. Ethan and Brandon did their 'bro hug', while I tried to get another box out of the car. Tried. That box is really heavy!

The box was pulled out of the car- but not from me. From Ethan who could easily carry it without a problem. Lucky duck.

"Kenzie, I mean it when I say, stick with Ethan all times. And Ethan, if you let her out of your sight and she gets hurt, I will fucking kill you." Brandon said.

"Brandy, I'm going to be fine! You don't have to worry about me!" I said. My older brother gave me a look that screamed 'seriously?'

"Brandon, I'm just as protective of her as you are. I'm not gonna let anything happen to her." Ethan said seriously, but calmly.

"And how am I supposed to stay by Ethan the whole time?" I giggled. "I mean it's not like we have the same dorm."

Both Brandon and Ethan raised an eyebrow at me.

"Oh, Kenzie Benzie. You can't get rid of me that easily!" Ethan said. I tried my best to glare at him, since he knows I hate that nickname. Which only caused him to smile.

"I already called this school." Brandon said, making me focus on him. "You and Ethan share a dorm now. If I can't watch you, Ethan will. All the time."

"I thought it was against the roles to have a boy and a girl in the same dorm?" I said, curious.

"I may have told the school we're cousins." Ethan laughed, while I rolled my eyes.

"Let's get these boxes up!" Ethan yelled.

Ethan picked up the box he took when I was trying to get, and Brandon took another box. I was about to carry the last box, but my brother stopped me.

"Nope, that's too heavy for you. Grab that bag that's still in the trunk."

I sighed and picked it up. He never thinks I'm strong enough to carry anything. He wouldn't even let me carry the milk to the cart while shopping.

I followed the two to the straight path towards 'building C', which I'm guessing is where my dorm room is. And I was correct, since Ethan opened the door with his key card.

Soon we took the elevator to the fifth floor, then down a long hall. Finally, we arrived at room '508' and Ethan opened the door again, holding the box up with his hip, and the wall.

We walked in, and everything looked amazing! Right when you walk in, there is a nice opened sized kitchen to the left, with an island counter, and a larger counter and would be a complete square, if one side wasn't missing for the entry.

The side of the counter that faces the rest of the apartment, has another counter, just a little bit higher than the rest, and four bar stools, which I'm guessing is the table.

Then behind that, is the living room. Mounted to the wall, is a nice 60 inch TV. Under was a low table that was as long- or maybe longer than the TV, with a couple boxes of DVD players, directv, and an x-box.

Facing the tv, is a couch that looks super comfortable to sleep on! I can't wait to take a nap there! To the right of that, and facing the kitchen was a loveseat to match the couch.

Beyond that, was two queen size beds. One was already made, which was to the left. Making the one to the right, mine.

On either sides of the beds, were end tables. A small square one that was in between the bed and a wall, and one rectangular table that perfectly fit in between both beds. Also, on both walls next to the beds, are sliding doors. Which all four doors had mirrors on! I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say those are the closets.

Finally, to the right of the amazing kitchen, is the bathroom. 

"So, what do you think?" Ethan asked, breaking me from my thoughts.

"It's amazing! I love it!" I smiled widely.

"That's great you like it." Brandon said. "Let's go get the rest of your stuff."

"Rest of it! How much does a girl need!" Ethan exclaimed.

"A lot." Brandon said, rolling his eyes. Which caused me to slap him, carefully.

"Hey! Your the one who said I needed it! I said I didn't but you insisted!" I giggled.

"Oh, so this is your fault?" Ethan laughed, looking at his best friend.

"Let's just go."
