No.

I am not going to wake up today. I am not going to do anything but eat, sleep, breathe, and Instagram.

Will Solace thought to himself as he debated whether or not it was worth it to get up from the couch and turn off the TV that he left on last night. It was about 9 in the morning. He had been wearing his orange pajama bottoms for two days and he really needed a shower.

But I'm tired. I could sleep in the shower. But I'm also starving.

The TV played The Rescuers. It was Will's favorite Disney movie.

Is today Saturday or Sunday? Isn't Sunday when that guy moves in? I can't remember his name... I should probably shower just in case. But I should eat something first. But what if the guy comes while I'm eating and I stink. And in pajamas.

Will decided he should take a shower.

***

Nico di Angelo parked his car in the dormitory parking lot. The first day of collage started in two weeks. He figured it would be better to move in early so he still wouldn't have to unpack during a collage schedule.

Nico was going to share a dorm with a Sophmore because neither of them could afford to live alone. Nico hadn't met him yet, but he knew the latter was studying medical science and he himself was studying geography.

Nico popped the trunk to his black 2013 Nissan. He carefully picked up a heavy box filled with his CD collection and balanced it on his knee. He stuck his hand into his pocket and fished for his room
key.

Nico got to dorm 221B. He was too lazy to set down the box, unlock the door, and pick the box up again. Instead he dangerously set his iPhone 5c on top on the box and rested it on his shoulder. He used his free hand to jerkily unlock the door.

In the time Nico unloaded his car and started to settle, hot water ran down Will's back as he sang along to Sia's Chandelier.

"I'mmmm! Gonna swiiiiing! From, the chandeliiiiiieeer! FROM THE CHANDELIIIIIIIEEEEER!"

Nico set down his last box on the couch. The room had two single beds; each one in it's own corner of the rectangular room. Each bed had two drawers. Between the beds was a simple brown couch. A TV with a mini-fridge (with a microwave on top of it) next to it faced the couch and the beds. One of the walls had a large window that overlooked the college commons. A rug and a coffee table lay in the middle of the room. There was door near the television that was probably the bathroom. He could hear someone singing inside.

Seriously? My roommate sings in the shower?

Nico pulled out the neatly folded blankets and bed sheets out from the box. His sister's old Disney Princesses pillow (with Cinderella and Ariel on it) was packed along inside. He pulled it to his chest and breathed in and out.

I did it, Bianca. I made it to college.

One of the beds had orange-red sheets with a stuffed monkey laid on the pillow. Nico walked to the empty bed and tried to put on his plain white sheets by himself.

Will was happily singing in the shower when he heard an "Arrggh!" He froze. Will turned off the water and reached over to the counter to turn of Chandelier. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist.

"Why won't these stupid sheets fit?" Will heard someone mutter.

Will walked out of the bathroom to see a black haired stranger struggling to put sheets on the bed. The two met eyes.

Will flushed a bright pink and stuck out his hand. "Sorry, this is awkward. I'm Will Solace, and you're probably my new roommate."

"No, I'm a burglar who's trying to put bed sheets on a bed." He shook Will's hand. "I'm Nico di Angelo. Nice towel by the way. A sun with sunglasses?"

Will smirked and struck a pose. "Is my chiseled chest to hot for you to handle?"

"Get changed. You can help me with the bedsheets after." Nico said unamused.

Will smiled grabbed a pair of clothes and entered the steamy bathroom again.

Nico set up his CD rack near his bed and started organizing his collection. (Pierce the Veil, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Panic! At the Disco, Taylor Swift, ect.)

At least Will isn't that kinds of guy who prance around naked before changing clothes.

Will walked out of the steamy bathroom with his wet hair plastered to his forehead. It reminded Nico of a supermodel walking down the runway surrounded by fog machines.

"Okay, grab one end of the sheet and I'll grab the other."

It took the two about 30 minutes to correctly put on bed sheets.

Will threw himself on the bed in exhaustion landing on Nico's pillow. Will snickered.

Nico gave him a cold look. "What's so funny?"

Will held up the pillow. "You like princesses?"

"It was my sister's you dolt." Nico said defensively and took the pillow out of Will's clutches.

"Your sister's?" Will asked intrigued. "How many siblings do you have?"

"None."

"You just said-"

"I said was. It was my sister's." Nico replied coldly.

"Oh. I'm sorry."

Nico looked him dead in the eye. "Are you really?"

This was going to be a long year.
