I woke up with a start. Someone was knocking on the door. I stood up and walked out of the bedroom, to the front door, opened it and saw a guy standing there.
"Don't you have a key?" Was the first thing I said and I internally face palmed myself as his smile fell. "I uh -" "I'm sorry, I'm not a very happy person in the morning" I apologised and his smile came back.
"That's alright I'm your roommate!" he exclaimed. I moved out of the way and he walked in with his suit cases. "Hey, aren't you the guy that helped me with the Taxi but didn't answer when I was thanking him?" I asked. "Yeah, sorry about that, I was in a rush" he said before walking into the bedroom and by the look on his face, he was thinking about the same thing that I was thinking about when I first came here and then he started to unpack. I went back to my bed and fell on it.
"I'm Matteo by the way" he said and I sat up with a frown. "I'm Alexis but my friends call me Alex" I said. "I had a friend named Alexis" he sat down on his bed. "Oh really? I had a friend named Matteo but he moved away." I said thoughtfully.
"Wait a minute" we said standing up in unison.
"Matteo?" I asked. "Alexis?" he asked. We ran to the middle of the room and hugged. "I can't believe this, it's really you!" he exclaimed. "Yeah..." and then I remembered something.
I roughly pulled away from him, "YOU SAID YOU WOULD CALL" I shouted and he backed away. "What?" he asked dumbfounded. "YOU SAID YOU WOULD CALL ME Matteo" I shouted again. "Oh" he frowned.
"Maybe you were too busy having fun!"
"I-" "Or, you were too busy making new friends!" I cut him off.
"Look A-" "Or were you too busy thinking about Stephaney to remember your best friend since childhood" I cut him off again, tears streaming down my cheeks. "I was... I mean I just forgot Alexis" he frowned.
"Unbelievable! you forgot!? I don't believe that bullshit Matteo, you suddenly forgot about your best friend for three fucking years, find somebody that will believe your lies" I said in disbelief and walked out of the bedroom, heading to the bathroom but stopped mid way.
"Do you know how hard or annoying it was to have to listen to Stephaney talking about how much fun you were having and the new friends you were making in California?" I shouted in exasperation. He looked so guilty, "I'm sorry"
"Don't be" I answered and entered the bathroom and slammed the door shut. "Sometimes I wonder why I'm in love with you" I whispered to myself.
I walked out in black jeans, a white blouse with a black jacket and cute black boots. I didn't look at him at all. I'm really mad at him and he's an idiot. I put my phone in my purse along with my dorm key and started to brush my curly hair that had blue streaks in it. I put my hair in a messy bun and walked out the door not forgetting to slam it. I was about to walk away but heard him talking so I stopped and pressed my ear to the door.
'I know who my roommate is' he said.
'Who is it?' wait is that Santiago?
'Alexis dude! ALEXIS' he shouted and I winced.
'Oh dude! You're so screwed!' Santiago exclaimed and I chuckled. Yes he is!
But so is he. How come he is in contact with Tiago.
'You think I don't know that!' he shouted and I winced again.
'What did she do?' Santiago asked.
'She was mad about me not calling her' he sighed.
'Why didn't you call her anyway?' Santiago asked.
'I don't know, I told her I forgot' he sounded so defeated.
