A Stranger I Met ✔

3

The drive to school was silent as the soft music from the radio played. I sank into the chair thinking of my new roommate. I was beginning to give the whole getting an apartment outside school a thought but then, living in school had its comfort.

I didn't have to worry about getting to my room late. I could leave the library whenever I pleased without thinking of how dark it was. Besides, I loved the curiosity of discovering what new roommate I had each section. It was like an adventure.

We got to school late in the afternoon and I asked my father to wait in the car while I searched for my room. The rooms were numbered, making it easy to find my room. I opened the door and to my greatest surprise, I saw a guy lying on his stomach, watching a movie or so. 

It dawned on me it was porn when I heard the weird sound coming from his laptop. He hadn't noticed my presence for he was quite engrossed, so I quietly stepped out of the room and let out a big sigh of frustration.   So this was my new roommate? Great! Just what I needed!

I walked back to my dad's car outside the building.  My dad was leaning on the car looking at his watch. I knew he was a busy man and he valued his time so much but I felt he should loosen up a bit and spend more time with his family.

"Did you find your room?"

"Yes I did." I answered as I brought my loads from the boot.

"Great! Let's carry your stuff inside then." My father moved to join me.

I stiffened as he said that. I couldn't let him find out what my roommate was like. I knew he'd make a scene and that would be an embarrassment to me.

"There's no need dad. You don't have to stress yourself. I'll carry them myself." I smiled hoping he was convinced.

"But your loads are quite a lot. You can't carry them at once." My dad replied.

"I'll carry them twice then. You don't have to worry." I smiled again hoping he would give the matter up and he did. 

My roommate was just leaving when I got to the room with some of my luggage. I could tell from the wetness on his trouser that he had just masturbated. It was gross he didn't bother changing his trousers and my tummy did a flip up at the sight.

"Hey, you must be Daniel?" The moderate height idiot asked me.

"Yea?"

"Wow! I'm Tony. Your roommate." He brought his hand for a handshake and I reluctantly did the same. I knew that instance I had contaminated some bacteria and I made a mental note to wash my hands immediately he left.

"I'll see you around, Daniel. I'm heading to my friend's room. I'll introduce you later." He told me and I watched him go.

I shook my head. I would rather lock myself in the room than go anywhere with him.

I heaved a sigh of relief as I dropped my luggage and headed for the rest. My dad waved to me as I carried the last set of luggage into the hostel while he sped off.

I arranged my things at the appropriate place and laid my bed. I was exhausted when I finished so I took a quick shower and laid on my bed. I stared at the poster of artistes on the wall.

There were pictures of porn stars and I sighed in disgust. There was a drawing board and a Tee-square lying beside my roommate's bed. Tony was  the direct opposite of  what I wanted.

I closed my eyes as I thought of the misfortune that had befallen me.

I woke up due to the bang at the door. I rubbed my eyes sleepily as I watched my roommate walk into the room.
