Matthew's voice is husky and deeper than I expected. His leather jacket almost covers the hand he has extended towards me. Why is my heart beating faster? I shake his hand and he really has a firm grip. I turn away and continue to unpack.
'Are you going to be alright?' I hear Matthew murmur to his sister. He pats her on the shoulder and she nods. 'See you around Evie.' He remarks to me.
'My name is Evelyn!' I shout back. Great, that guy seems like an douchebag. Samantha stands up and starts to unpack her things. She takes out a large amount of sparkling clothing out of one box and goes into her walk in closet. I take out my average yet stylish clothing and do the same.
'Can I ask you something?' I stop what I am doing and face her doll-like face.
'Go ahead.' She says whilst glancing at her phone.
'Why did you expect me to know who you were?'
'Our parents own the large clothing factory here where designer clothes are made. A lot of people have jobs there.'
'Okay but what has that got to do with you?'
'I model the clothes on my Instagram which has 20,000 followers.People around here usually recognize me a lot.'
'Fair enough' I turn back to the rest of my things. So my roommate is not a serial killer. Instead she is practically a celebrity. I don't know whether that is better or worse yet. Of course it is better than a serial killer. Why am I even debating that?
'Hey do you want to go to a party?' I hear Samantha say from behind me.
