Why wasn't I moving anymore? I'd gone still, muddled as what I should do.

Tattoos. Skinny jeans. I'm pretty sure my jaw is on the ground right now. I manage to save myself from embarrassment and rather rudely state "It is rude to go into different rooms and put your suitcase in without even acknowledging the other person!" He does not even reply and he just places his suitcase on the floor whilst lying down on the other free bed which was not claimed. His mother and father should have taught him better because I sure as hell am not going to let him just walk in like he owns the place. I get up and start giving him a piece of my mind "I am pretty sure you’re not my room mate so why on earth are lying there like an ogre? There is something called privacy which a girl needs and i am in need of that right now. So. Get. Out ." I say whilst trying to keep my lid on and not let it fly off. He just turns his back towards me and continues lying on the bed. This guy, he does not even tell me his name for god's sake. Do I have to refer him as person x because that would be the only sensible thing to do if someone is not giving you their name. Yep, I am calling him person x. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meet Saphire Blake a young girl with a mind of a genius and an organised future.
