roommates ➳ chapter 3

the girl that had just walked into brookes room was stunning. her flowing blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders and her melted chocolate eyes stared softly at brooke. it was one of the girls from before, the ones that came for yvie. brooke knew she should have brought it up, but she was awestruck by how gorgeous this girl was up close.

"hey, im vanessa vanjie mateo, but you can just call me vanjie," she said happily.

"brooke. brooke lynn. well, brooke lynn hytes but you can just call me brooke." she stuttered.

a pause. not long enough to be uncomfortable, but long enough for brooke to gain her bearings.

"didnt i just bump into you? in the cafeteria?" vanjie asked.

"um, yeah. but i wasnt really involved, they're just my friends i-" brooke was cut off by vanjie.

"dont worry jush, i aint gon start no drama between groups unless any of em come for me. you dont need to act so cautious around me."

brooke mumbled an apology. at this point, sometimes it was easier for her to say "im sorry," than it was for her to breathe. apologies just came naturally to her. she was always scared that she would offend someone.

the room had fallen into a comfortable silence as brooke tapped away on her phone and vanjie opened her laptop. brooke checked the time. 9:40. she got up from her bed and went to go shower, not before telling vanjie first of course. vanjie simply just nodded.

it was rare for vanjie to be at a loss for words, but this was a special occasion. she couldnt stop staring at brooke lynn. she had a stunning figure, one of a dancer, and her anxious eyes were ocean blue and glossy: vanjie could get caught in them. literally. she didnt even realise that she was staring until brooke coughed awkwardly and shied away. vanjie looked down, not able to keep the blush from her face.

brooke went into the bathroom to shower whilst leaving vanjie speechless. she decided to check her schedule for the week to distract herself. it was the usual boring subjects: english, maths, science, pe, drama, music, sewing and art. she noticed another subject and sighed in frustration. dance.

vanjie was funny. she could pull off any look and was quite physically fit. but dance was one thing she could not get her head around. her limbs were too stiff, and she was too clumsy. she would fall over her own feet just walking, so adding dance into that was not a good idea.

she took a quick look at brookes schedule. they were in the same music, art, science, sewing, maths and dance. she groaned again. brooke lynn hytes, the woman that looked like a dancer extraordinaire was going to have to watch her dance.

vanjie decided to get changed into her pajamas before brooke came in. she pulled on a t-shirt that hung loosely from her shoulders and plaid bottoms. she tied her hair into a messy bun just as brooke lynn walked through the door. vanjie was more of a morning person and preferred to get a shower when she woke up.

brooke sat on her bed tiredly. she wore grey jogging bottoms and an over sized jumper.

"so... whats your subjects for tomorrow?" vanjie asked knowing full well what subject it was.

"oh, uhhh..." brooke paused as she scrambled for her timetable. "science, then music, english, maths and dance!" she smiled as she read the word dance.

it was 11:30, and brooke was exhausted. she felt as though she could pass out at any minute, and yawned tiredly. vanjie noticed this (and also noticed how adorable her yawn was).

"you wanna sleep? im pretty tired too." vanjie asked.

brooke nodded, mumbling a sleepy "thank you" as she buried herself deep under a mass of pillows and blankets, and was out cold in a few seconds. vanjie smiled contentedly as she flicked the light off and climbed into her own bed. a few minutes passed, vanjie was just about to fall asleep when she heard a noise from the other side of the room.

'fuck.' she thought. 'just my luck i get put with someone who snores'.

it was around 6:30 when vanjie woke. she hopped into the shower and got out at around 7:30. classes didnt start until nine, so she took all her makeup into the bathroom and began to apply it, whist singing along to a playlist on her phone. brooke, however, was still fast asleep. vanjie thought about waking the other girl, but she didnt want to make her mad.

"your a good singer," a voice laden with sleep whispered, making vanjie drop all her makeup.

"shit, you almost killed me!" vanjie set in suprise, a wide smile plastered across her face. "im just heading down to get breakfast, want me to bring you some up?"

"tea and toast please!" brooke said, slightly preoccupied with doing her makeup.

within five minutes, vanjie was back balancing two plates of toast on one hand and a two cups on the other. tea for brooke, coffee for vanjie. brooke was surprised that she had managed to make her toast perfectly, and began to eat without no complaints. by 8:50, they were out of their room and making their way to science, giggling on their way. vanjie was happy to get to know brooke, and for her to come out of her shell a little.
