Perfectly Imperfect Life

Aced (ch 11)

I woke up, from the sound of my alarm and quickly stood up. it has been a week since school started and today is the day I move out of this hell hole and go to the dorm.

I gave my phone number to Ash not too long ago and we were planning to go together.

It's Saturday so I can wear my usual clothes. I quickly showered and wore my dark clothing. A plain dark gray t-shirt with black skinny jeans, black and white converse, and my luggage, which is also dark-colored.

I'm heading to our meeting spot, see ya there Ash.

I sent her the message and left the house carrying a luggage and a backpack.

our meeting spot was in a café near the school so I went there as soon as possible.

it feels great to be free, out of that hellhole for the time being. it makes me happy.

after taking a cab, I arrived at the café. it wasn't big nor small, it was decent and only a few people go here.

I sat at a table next to a window and ordered coffee and a chocolate shake. I don't really know what Ash likes. bitter foods? or sweet foods? so I bought her chocolate shake instead.

after getting the drinks Ash finally comes in and she was panting heavily.

"What happened to you?" I asked her and she grins. "I overslept hehe," she said and sat across from me.

"what's this?" she asked as she holds the chocolate shake.

"it's a chocolate shake, I wanted to buy you something but I have no idea what you even like and don't like," I explained and she chuckles lightly.

"I don't dislike chocolate shake, but it isn't my favorite. mango is." mango? really? thought she likes those super sweet ones.

"let's go if you're ready," I said and she nods while sipping her chocolate shake.

we went to school minutes later and went to the registrar's office.

"excuse me." I said and the same lady was there. "oh thank goodness you're here." she exclaimed and stood up.

"Take this," she hands me the keys to the dorm room. "Isabelle is already at the dorm room so hope you get along with her." I nodded and we head towards our dorm room.

the dormitory consists of 7 floors. and 10 rooms for each floor. so 10 x 4 is 40 and 40 x 7 is 320. why the hell am I computing dorm rooms?

"705..." Ash mumbles and I take out the key to the dorm room and I insert it in the keyhole.

twist, the lock click open and I twist the doorknob and we are welcomed by the fresh smell of concrete and weird perfume.

"oh you must be my roommates," I leaned over to where the voice is and it was Isabelle Riley, the so-called school's pride.

"my name is Isabelle Riley, how about you two?" she gestures for a handshake and I gladly took it.

"Olivia Quinn," I said and she smiles at me. she seems off to me.

"A-Ashley Garcia..." she stuttered. haha, that's adorable.

"don't be shy and come in, I apologize for the perfume, I thought you'd be here quite late," she explained and sat at her chair.

"other students don't know that this room is actually the best haha." she laughs and climbs up the ladder to her bed.

"at the bottom, is your desk. and at the top is your bed. the balcony has 3 washing machines, the bathroom only has one toilet and shower room but it's spacious enough. we have a circular table and three chairs." it's like she's a tour guide. and she talks too much, it's annoying me.

"okay whatever, we'll unpack our stuff now." I chose the right-side while Ashley chose the middle.

it's a bit awkward since we have a complete stranger living with us. well, not technically a stranger, a schoolmate that I barely know and talk to.

"do you guys have any plans today?" Isabelle asked while brushing her hair. I look over at Ash and she shakes her head.

"Nope." I said and Isabelle stood up. "then how about we go to a café? I want to know you guys a bit more since we're roommates now." is she serious? how bold of her.

I mean I don't mind and I don't care, but it's Ash we are talking about.

I look at her and she nods before smiling. I guess that's a yes.

"yeah sure." Isabelle grins and grabs her purse. "then shall we go?" she asks and we stare at her in confusion.

"right now? we just moved in, geez give us a break," I said and continued unpacking my stuff.

"oh, sorry haha that was insensitive about me," she said and sat back at her seat.

"glad you know that," I mumble. shes annoying and clingy. I don't care if she heard that or not. not like she can pick a fight on me.

a few minutes have passed by, Ash and I were done unpacking our stuff. Ash sits on the chair with the circular table and takes out a book.

it's my first time seeing her read a book, she really is a nerd.

I sat next to her, took out my phone, and start playing some offline games. moments later Isabelle also sat next to us.

"so why won't Ashley talk more?" she asks while giving us a warm smile. shes getting on my nerves.

"she doesn't talk to people she doesn't know," I said and Isabelle flinched before chuckling awkwardly.

"well, I'm going to practice volleyball now. here is my number," she gave me a piece of paper that contains her number in it.

"you can go ahead and eat food without me, ill eat with my teammates. see ya." she grabs her bag and left the room.

"she's so annoying." I said and Ash looks at me. "why?" she asks and I closed my phone before sighing loudly.

"she talks too much and she's clingy." Ashley giggles before closing the book. "I think she's nice, but I guess you can say she talks a lot." she stood up and placed the book on her desk.

"it's already 12:37 pm, I guess I'll sleep." she mumbles to herself and climbs up the ladder to her bed.

"I'll wake you up when I'm gonna buy dinner," I said and no response, she's already asleep? that was quick.

ah that Oliver guy, I completely forgot about him. I'm not gonna apologize because what he did was just rude. there are so many people that I dislike today. at least I have someone that'll be by my side for the rest of the school year. which I'm thankful for.
