It was the first day of college. My best friend, Cassidy, and I were getting our stuff out of our car to take to our dorm rooms. Before Cassidy and I left, we discovered we had separate dorms and that our dorm mates will be guys. That is the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard of, having dorm mates be male.

"Shelby!" Cassidy screamed at me snapping me out of my thoughts.
"What do you want?” I yelled back getting out of my mother’s car that she let me borrow. Cassidy and I always fought but its only because we were really close practically sisters. In high school we would always go over to each others houses and treat each others parents like our own. I would go over to her house more though I loved being there!

"Get our shit out of the car please!" Cassidy said as I was grabbing my stuff from the car. Since my mom allowed me to borrow her car and bring the rest of our things such as our mattresses and such. As I started grabbing my things from the car Cassidy walks over to me pointing out this group of five hot guys walking into the dorm building we are in. I look at this long floppy brunette haired boy, I see him glance back at me so I hurry and look away. I grab a few boxes and walk to my dorm room with Cassidy. I barge into my room throwing the box of clothes on the first bed I see. This curly brown haired boy walks out of the kitchen and stares at me.

"Can I help you?!" I blurt rudely. He was one of the boys in the group of five who walked into the building. He was hot, like really hot and I Shelby am sharing a room with him.

"I'm Harry… your roommate." He said harshly because of my rudeness. I feel bad that I was rude but I mean come on he was literally just staring at me and making me feel uncomfortable. “Sorry for being rude Harry. My name is Shelby, nice to meet you.” I say sweetly holding out my hand for him to shake. He tightly shakes my hand, his hands were slightly sweaty. You could tell that he was nervous because his hands were slightly sweaty but not too sweaty to the point where it’s gross to shake his hands. We both pulled our hands away and I decided to put my long mermaid brunette hair into a cute messy bun and bring in the rest of my boxes.
   
I walk out into the hall wall Harry following behind. I see Cassidy walking with one of the guys walking with Harry when they walked in. “Hey Cassie.” I yelled. She looked at me smiling and said hey then all four of us walked back to the cars. I looked at Harry, “You don’t have to help you know?” I say politely. Harry grabs a box full of my bras and such. I look at him nervously and takes the box. “I will take that it has some things not needed to be seen in there.”
Harry just chuckles and takes the next box. We walk up to our dorm room together.
“Shelby you’re very beautiful you know that?” He says smiling. It takes me a minute to contemplate what Harry says because of the shock running through me . I smile sweetly after a minute and shyly look away. “Thank you Harry.”

We get up to the room after bringing up all the boxes and Harry just looks at me. “ I unbacked all my things already so if you want help unpacking yours….?” I look at Harry smiling softly. “Thank you Harry that would be great!”

There is something about Harry that seems very familiar…A little too familiar but I cant put my finger on it. I grab out my C.D. player/radio from a box and plug it in turning it on putting in one of my mixed c.d.’s. I skip some songs so my favorite song ‘A Drop In The Ocean by Ron Pope’ comes on. As the song plays I sing along.

“A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was prayin' that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
Cause you are my heaven
I don't want to waste the weekend
If you don't love me, pretend”

“a few more hours
Then its time to go
And as my train moves down the east coast
I wonder how you keep warm
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on”

“And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't seek what you don't need from me”

“It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was prayin' that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
Cause you are my heaven”

“Misplace trust in old friends
Never counting regrets
By the grace of God, I do not rest at all
And New England as the leaves change
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl”

“And still I cant let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't seek what you don't need from me”

“It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was prayin' that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
Cause you are my... heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no”

“Heaven doesn't seem far away”
“Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no
Heaven doesn't seem far a way aaaahhhhhhh”

“Just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was prayin' that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But im holding you closer than most, cause you are my heaven
You are my heaven”

As the song finishes Harry stares directly at me his jaw dropped. “Holy shit!” He yells causing me to slightly jump.

“Nuuuuuu yellinggggggg!” I say slightly nervous as he just stares at me.

“I’m sorry that was just OH-MY-GOD that was amazing.” He says smiling brightly. I stared at him wide eyes.

OH MY GOD I KNOW WHERE IVE SEEN THIS BOY BEFORE!!!!
