Did Time Stop?

07. THIS IS MY LIFE

Kairi's POV
Figuring out that he was my roommate calmed me down, he seemed so genuine but mysterious. Me and him were currently walking to our room just talking and getting to know each other. I found out that his favorite color is purple, he lived with his mom, dad and little brother at home. He's 18 like me but a few months younger. Also he is a mix of Italian and Mexican. He also loves the artist Don Toliver.
"Hmm you sound like a lot of fun." I reply laughing at his story and the video he showed me about how in high school, he and his dad had an argument about how short he was cutting his hair. He didn't win the argument and had to cut his hair really short and when I saw the picture, I couldn't hold my laugh back. I started laughing hysterically, I look at him and he's just staring at me with a smile on his face thinking. I couldn't help but feel nervous and slightly scared by the intense stare he has on me, I can't understand his expression so I don't know what he's thinking.
"Take a picture Polibio, it'll last longer." I say to him looking down so he can't see the red creep up my neck and straight to my cheeks. He chuckles and rolls his eyes unlocking our room door when we get there.
Why was he staring at me like that?
Should I not have said that?
"Yo!"
"Aye what's up guys!"
"How you feeling Olaf?"
I'm soon snapped out of my thoughts by the last part and look to see the guys from earlier walking up. It takes me a minute to figure out that the last question was for me which I don't know how because I'm the shortest one here besides the other guy in the group. He has raven black hair and he's wearing a blue hoodie with grey sweats, I'm shorter than him but not by much, he looks about 5'7 and I'm 5'4.
"Hmm, oh I'm good thanks." I answer slightly getting nervous for the 1000th time today.
"That's good shorty, how about your friend?" This time there was a different guy talking, he had braids going back into a small bun.
"Friend? Oh the other guy, we're not friends I just saw him getting picked on and it pissed me off." I reply shrugging my shoulders
"Damn not many people would do that, I'm Roshaun by the way." He says dapping me up.
"I'm Alvaro." Says the guy from before
"Alejandro, but ale or Alex for short." I hear from behind Mattia and I turn to see a tan boy with curly hair.
"I'm Robert." A guy with black curly hair says moving in front of Roshaun so I can see who's talking.

No ones POV
Kairi says hi and turns to walk into the room and then turns around looking at the group of boys.
"If you guys want and it's cool with Mattia you can come in?"
"Actually I have to go find my room, but I'll see you at lunch with Mattia?" Ale asks but it's more of a question.
"Yeah." Kairi says nodding and walking away.
