Opposites attract

The new roommate

Sam's POV
A sigh of relief came over me, my roommate probably won't be here for a while. Unless there mom is like mine and they have to go back to work once they drop there kid off. They probably won't be here for a while, so I can actually relax. I'm falling deep into my music and zoning out of reality and just rela-
*knock knock knock*
I jumped out of my bed like there was a dragon at the foot of it that's how much it caught me off guard. Oh right, I guess that's my roommate, turns out I didn't get to relax for long.
"Hello?" A voice spoke "umm I'm you roommate, I'm going to come in now."
"Ok?" I don't know why they didn't just come in. I can hear the door locks unhinging and then the door handle turning. Well this is it, here's my wild card, who's it gonna be.
The door opened "hi umm, so apparently I'm your roommate for three weeks. Wow, this is a really small cabin, sorry for intruding. I didn't want to just open the door, and you be asleep. That would a little creepy to wake up too." At least she's considerate. She started to walk around and her mom put her stuff on the other bed and went up to me.
"Hi, Alexa's mom, did your mom already leave?" She asked
"Yeah she had to get back to work."
"Oh, that's a shame, so what's your name darling?" She said calmly trying to make me feel comfortable, but big surprise, it didn't.
     "Oh, my names Sam"
     "So how long have you been here Sam?"
     "Only like 15 minutes, it's really not much I just got here too." I reassured her to make sure she knew my mom didn't just leave me here all alone.
     "Hey mom, I'm probably just going to unpack and wait for activities to start if you need to go home." The blonde said near the other bed.
     "Ok, but text me tonight and tell me how everything is going ok?"
     "Ok I will, love you byye." Alexa said while her mom was walking out the door.
     "Ok I love you too." Her mother responded as she left. Well I guess she had to get back home that's not unusual for a Thursday morning, everyone has to get back to work.
     "I'm sorry if my mom was smothering you with questions, she really likes to talk, umm... I'm Alexa by the way. But, you could call me Alex if u want." She sounded really uncomfortable when she said that. Whatever, by how she is dressing she looks prissy, and like she would do almost anything for being popular or just a Starbucks coffee.
     "K" I really don't want to engage in whatever extravagant stunts this girl will probably pull of to impress everyone. From the looks of it this girl is gonna be annoying as hell, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
     She started unpacking after she realized I wasn't interested in talking to her, at least she knows social cues. I'll just ignore her for now until we have to go and do something. For now I can finely wined down, and just peacefully hangout. Maybe I'll draw something....

Alex's POV
     I just kinda started unpacking after she responded to me with 'k' she didn't seem to want to talk to me. Maybe it was the outfit, she probably thinks I'm ugly with no style or some judgmental bull, guess mom was right all along.
     I let out a sigh of relief, and sat on my bed after I was mostly unpacked. As I was reaching for my headphones in my backpack, I noticed she had a sketch book and a pencil and was drawing something it it. I kinda just wanted to go up to her and say 'whatcha drawwwin' in an annoying voice, but that would be really weird for a person I just met, so instead I laid there with my headphones listening to music.
     I wonder if we will become friends, she seems really closed off, but that's fair I did just meet her. I hope those stupid ice breaker things help, although I'm not sure.
     It's stupid, but I'm kinda glad I'm here it's like a chance to start over and not having to pretend to like stupid 'trendy' clothes, or be someone I'm not.
     Literally nobody can stop me from this, no one in my personal life would be here so I can just do whatever feels right. For once, it's freeing to be in a new place, it's not scary at all anymore. Even if I don't know anyone I think that's a good thing, right? I think so.
     "So are you exited?" I ask trying to get to know her and maybe let her become more comfortable around me.
     "No, not really, my mom makes me go to summer camps every year trying to make me get new or 'better' friends as she likes to say. But it doesn't matter, I'll be out of here soon." She sounded defeated like she was loosing a battle but at the end of the sentence, she just paused it as if it were a game to put the barriers back up between her emotions and myself.
     "What do you mean by better?" I'm genuinely curious as to why her mom would say that. Do they smoke? Or do drugs? Or are in a gang?
     "Well it's not what you think there not bad people, there not selling drugs or some shit. My mom just had certain views on how certain people should act in a society. But it really doesn't matter, that's not info I'm willing to give to just any random person I just met." She said harsher than before, I guess it's a touchy subject.
     "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that."
     "It's fine." She really doesn't like me, I'm still real curious about what she's drawing though. On the other hand I don't what her to hate me, she might just be a little annoyed from her trip here or something.
     "So how long was your trip here? Mine was around an hour 1/2." I asked attempting to keep the conversation light and airy.
     She took a deep sigh before she answered again seeming very annoyed at me, I should stop asking probably questions. "It was around 2 hours, but why do you care?" It seems she's a very defensive person.
     "I just think if we are going to be roommates for 3 weeks we could stand to get to know each other, at least a little bit." I thought it was true but not so sure about her, she didn't seem open to the idea of me being a friend.
     "Look, I appreciate the effort, but I don't want new frie-," she sighed "let me restart. Right now I'm really tired, and want some time to just zone out, and to half way be alone. Can we talk some other time during camp? I'm sure we'll have plenty time considering it's 3 weeks." She was really harsh when she started to speak but her tone changed. I'm not sure what happened, but I'm glad it did she seemed a lot more nice and approachable that way, and it seems like she looking out for my feelings too.
     "Yeah! Of course sorry Im just a little eager." I said before both of us go back to our separate activity's.
     Maybe she won't be that bad.
