Chapter Two ~ I believe in Karma

I moan and roll over as my phone vibrates roughly against the table on the side of my bed. I don't bother to open my eyes either, who the hell is calling me so early?
"Hmmm?" I moan through the phone.
"Ha ha ha! Your still alive, I see that you were forgiven?" San's laugh and praise has me fuming.
"Forgiv- You asshole! Why would I need to be forgiven this is your mess!" I sit up from the bed rubbing at my slight headache he's giving me.
"Uh, that's why you definitely earn friend of the year. So hurry and get your ass down here so I can treat you to breakfast!" He hurries excitedly.
"San!!" I yell but the phone hangs up. Oh his audacity!
I rub my head again and practically fling myself outta bed. When I look over the other side of the room is still as it was last night. I guess he didn't come back. Where did he sleep?
I get up sighing as I grab my towel for a shower, and think long and hard as the hot water hitting my back fills the bathroom with steam.
Today is my first day in college as an economics major, I'm sure I will help my dad and his business in the future, it'll be great.
I get out, wrapping the towel around my waist and checking myself out in the mirror. Ladies here I come. But first things first I need to rush to the store and get guitar strings. I'll fix it and apologize ( on behalf of dumbass San) before he arrives at the dorm, piece of cake.
When I open the door he's standing at the side of his bed going through his bag, when he looks at me my heart suddenly jumps again and I feel naked despite the towel.
"Ah shit!" I jump trying to cover my torso. Maybe I was so immersed in my thoughts I didn't hear him come back?
He looks back to put his bag on the ground, puts his headphones in, and jumps into bed. I find it a little adorable that he lay curled up, almost like a child.
Shit! What am I thinking?
I shake my head of any thought and hurry to get dressed.

I walk sluggishly into the cafeteria with my bag strapped on one shoulder.
San beckons me to him at a table and I see he's already made new friends. When I slide into the chair he pats my shoulder in a friendly manner and I shrug him off.
He starts to introduce me to a pretty masculine guy named Beam who apparently is an engineering major but I can already tell by his short sleeved uniform, next is a girl named Amy who is a gorgeous medical major, and another cute girl Phan who is also a medical major.
"This is the best friend I've been telling you about, he saved my ass from his roommate" he starts to storytell.
At the end of the table a pretty thin kid named Nam with a bob cut and glasses glances my way.
"Who's your roommate?" He asks.
"He shares a room with some guy named kun, a scary looking fellow I'm suprised you barely made it out alive" San interrupts patting my shoulder again.
"What! Your roommate is kun?" Phan squeals.
I nod. I guess my roommate is also well known?
"He's only the engineering campus moon! And also soon to be head hazer!" She brags as if he's and idol or something.
"He's so handsome," sighs Amy.
Damn it, I lost Amy to my roommate. That's fine I'll win her heart somehow.
"Speak of the devil" says Nam nodding to something behind me.
I slowly turn my head to see kun sitting on the table chatting with his friends. He looks up at me and I quickly turn my head away.
My heart beats really fast. Shit. He seems to make me feel this way a lot.
I check my phone to see that afternoon classes start at 3:00, that's more than enough time to buy new strings.

After the morning classes I wave goodbye to San and head to the musician market. I rush inside as it starts to pour. Hopefully it'll stop soon. When I glance around there are so many instruments, the last time I was here I was looking for sheet music for my 3rd grade concert. I run a finger along the wall as I try to remember what string San broke. What was it again?
"E string," a voice behind me says.
"Ah, that's right," I nod.
Wait! I turn around to find kun behind me staring at me with his sharp beautiful eyes.
"Shit! You scared me!" I jump.
He does nothing but extend a hand, I hold my breath. Is he gonna touch my face? Why am I letting him?
He grabs the box of strings beside my head as I still hold my breath.
"No need to be scared," he says and walks to the cashier.
I exhale heavily and follow behind him.
"Look, I know we got off on the wrong foot and I'm really sorry, do you mind if I make it up to you and treat you to a meal?" I plead.
Why do I feel like we're a fighting couple. Ugh, my imagination.
"No need," he says collecting his change from the cashier, "I believe in karma."
I nod cheerfully as if he said yes, "Wait what?"
When I snap out of it he's already almost out the door. He opens his umbrella and steps out.
I follow behind, the weathers not so bad just a sprinkle but there are huge puddles on the street.
"What do you mean?" I yell slowly jogging to catch up. His broad shoulders stop and turn around. Just in that moment a van passes by splashing water on me from the puddles. I stand there soaked and kun walks up to me with a smile, his beautiful smile making me forget how cold I am right now. He laughs softly while looking at me up and down.
"Like I said," he puts the umbrella over the both of us, "I believe in karma, but don't worry now your forgiven."
I sigh and shrug my shoulders. Now this mess is fixed hopefully. Dumbass sans mess.
"Come, let's go to the dorm before you catch a cold." He smiles his beautiful smile again and I shiver at how handsome I think he is.
