A Cognate's Love (Sophitz)

Chapter 2 | New Boy

Sophie's POV

As we approached the school my eyes widened in amusement. I had seen pictures online of the school but I never realized how big it actually was.

"Okay were here I hope you're prepared for this Sophie." Grady teased as they parked the car in a nearby parking lot.

I was more than prepared ,I had waited so long for a chance at this and now it was right here in front of mean and I'm not going to let anything or anyone ruin this opportunity. She almost wanted to cry tears of joy ,she worked so hard for this scholarship she wasn't going to ruin that hard work by making a stupid mistake.

She turned around to her parents who were holding onto eachother. You could see Edaline crying and Grady's eye were glazed but he had a proud smile. She walked over to them and had one last group hug.

"I promise to visit on holidays and breaks." She said as she walked backwards and waved goodbye to her family. "I love you guys,"

She turned around to walk forward and felt herself thump against something and as she turned around she blushed.

It was a tall boy around 6ft maybe more ,he had dark brown chocolate hair and the most hypnotic teal eyes that twinkled in the light he wore fitted black jeans and a tight dark blue
t-shirt that showed of his shape.

"Hey are you okay," he said with a deep crisp accent that made Sophie blush as she realized she was staring at him like some relic in a dinosaur museum.

"Omg I'm so sorry I should've watched where I was going," she said quickly looking down at the suddenly really interesting ground.

"It's fine ,no troubles here," he said giving her a small smile. "Anyways I'm Fitz Vacker ,you are?"

Sophie looked up realizing he had just asked her a question.

"Oh hi ,I'm Sophie Foster!" She said shyly avoiding his mesmerizing gaze.

"Oh your my new roommate ,I hope your okay with that!" He said nervously scratching the back of his neck.

"Oh I thought they would put the same sex together?" She said curiously but also a bit surprised.

"Yeah I would see how there could be some complications there." Fitz said with a chuckle and Sophie giggled at his remark.

"I was just about to get my room key did you wanna join?" Sophie offered gesturing to a building in the centre of campus.

"Oh yeah sure," Fitz answered giving Sophie a small smile and walking with her to the main building.

Fitz's POV

I need to get her to trust me so I can find out more about her...

"So what are you studying for?" I asked trying to make some conversation.

"I'm studying for creative writing ,It's a long story and kinda stupid too," she looked up at me.

"I'm all ears," I said smiling down at her hoping she would tell me something. I know I just met her but I have a feeling these next four years are gonna be very interesting. I guess Sophie is just starting to grow on me.

"Maybe later.." she said as she gestured to the building that was right in front of us and we both walked in.

We approached a window and on the other side was an elder lady who was sorting through piles of files she seemed like she was stressed or confused.

"Excuse me ,mam," Sophie said and the lady looked up at her. "I'm here to get two room eyes for Sophie Foster and Fitz Vacker?"

"Oh yes just give me one second," the kind lady said as she ran off to a cupboard and opened a small box containing what seemed like multiple sets of keys. She searched through the box until she held out two keys for Sophie and I.

"Room 309," the kind lady said as she sat back down and continued on her files.

"Thank you," Sophie and I said at the same time.

*•^•^•*

Sophie and I carried a few boxes into the room and set them by a closet door at the entrance to our room. We looked around the decent sized room ,it had two beds with plain white sheets along with a medium sized bathroom and two walk in closets. The room had plenty of windows along with a beautiful view of the campus.

"This is nice," Sophie said and started to look around.

"Yeah it is..." I said just staring at her.

*Fitz what are you doing get a fucking hold of your self*

"Sorry I probably shouldn't be," he blurted out and looked down.

"Sorry for what?" She asked turning to face him obviously confused.

"Oh yeah oh nothing sorry," he said quickly looking back up at her.

"What? Wait I-"

"Okayyyyy ,So should we start unpacking?" He said gesturing to the boxes in front of the closet.

"Uhhh yeah," she responded and slowly walked over the the boxes.

We started unpacking our boxes and by the time we were finished the room hadn't changed too much. Most of our stuff fit into bedside tables and closets. Our bath room sink had a cupboard underneath which we agreed to split one side for Sophie and one side for me.

Sophie dropped down on her bed and I did the same on mine unable to move my legs and arms.

"So what are you majoring in?" She asked looking up at the ceiling like it was the most fascinating thing in the world.

"Oh the same thing as you...and I think we have every single class together?" I lied ,I knew we had every single class together and after meeting Sophie that wasn't such a bad thing. But I have to make sure I don't develop feelings for Sophie. I'm sure if we were meant to be fate would've made us meet a different way.

"We should go eat I'm starving," I said looking out the window at the already setting sun.

She didn't respond but nodded her head , we walked over to the door and headed down the hall towards the parking lot.

We walked to my car because I insisted on driving. What? I was just being a gentleman.

"So where should we go?" I asked as I put the keys in the ignition and started up the car.

"I'm not sure we could go to this one place I heard about ,it's called Non Ti Pago. It's supposed to be a super good for it's pizza." She said scrolling through her phone.

"Yeah sounds good," I responded and I searched up directions.

It was a 20 minute drive give or take and when we arrived the place seemed really nice. It was a pretty big restaurant and it had a balcony with some tables that over viewed the pretty lake.

I can already tell Sophie's different and not like most girls. But I've yet to find out exactly what it is.
