Y/n's pov:

I just got enrolled into Nevermore.

Changing schools and the place I live in the middle of Christmas holidays was pretty stressful.

Even for someone 'cold hearted' as me.

I was never actually cold hearted.

I just never liked people.

"Of course we can accept Y/n, Mr Y/l/n. And with your–little donation to the school...Y/n will definitely feel like home in our Academy"

The principal had a huge grin on her face.

"There's just a tiny–problem"

The tried to sound polite.

I knew my father gave the school a lot of money so i could be enrolled in here at this time of the year.

And Miss Weems surely had big plans with it.

"Problem?"

My father shifted in his chair  uncomfortably.

"Y/n will have to be placed in a dorm with a boy"

She explained.

I was silently praying that my father will back up from this and just homeschool me.

But no.

"I think it will be okay"

He nodded.

"Pa! What?"

I gasped.

"I'm doing what is the best for you, sweetheart"

He got up and left the room.

Leaving me and Miss Weems in awkward silence.

"Well–Do you want to take a look on your new dorm?"

She tried to cheer me up.

"Sure"

I sighed.

~~~

When we walked in, nobody was there.

"Xavier–Your roommate is in his class right now, but you two will surely meet later this afternoon."

The principal said.

I sat down on the empty bed, groaning.

"Great"

"I know it might have been hard for you to fit in before, but Nevermore will be different"

She rubbed her hand on my back. Trying to comfort me.

"I don't need your words of comfort, now get out fo my room before I'll call dad and tell him to take back all the money he gave you, I know you're only nice to me because of them"

I stated. Moving away from the principal.

She looked at me with a dissapointed expression in her face.

I just stared at her angrily.

After few seconds she got up and left.

Finally a little bit of alone time.

~~~

I

Hate

This

School

I yelped, with each word I took one of my pair of shoes out of the box and threw it on the floor.

"You should try running, it helps releasing negative emotiosions"

Suddenly, a tall, brunette boy with long hair appeared in my dormroom.

"What the fuck? Get out of my room, you weirdo"

I gave him my usual attitude.

But he wasn't having it.

He threw his bag onto the other bed before replying.

"This is also my room, so no need to call me a weirdo"

He started tying his hair into a tiny bun.

"Need some help with this?"

He pointed on the bunch of boxes that were taking place in the corner of my half of the room.

"I think I don't need help from you"

I stated, grabbing another box with my shoes from the floor.

"That's some attitude, who do you think you are?"

He picked up a pair of shoes from the floor.

"Prada"

He looked closely at the shoes.

"Give me that"

I growled at him, snatching my shoes back.

"Are you a werewolf or something?"

He smirked.

At this point, he was just trying to make me mad.

"Just leave me alone, please"

I turned to look at him.

"I'm not sure if I can"

~~~

And from that day, I hated my roommate.

Xavier Thorpe, more than anyone on this earth.

Few days had passed and the new year came.

It was late night and both Xavier and I stayed in our dorm that night.

He kept drawing his weird sketches and I just minded my bussines.

When suddenly, I heard a similliar sound.

Sound that scared me more than anything.

Fireworks

I quickly covered my ears and hid in my bathroom.

I sat down next to the bathtub, waiting for the noise to stop.

Meanwhile Xavier bursted in, obviously confused.

Even thorught we hated each other, he seemed to care about me.

"Y/n?"

He looked around the bathroom.

But when he saw me on the bathroom's floor with my ears covered.

He instantly kneeled infront of me, cupping my cheeks.

"Y/n, what'a wrong?"

"I'm scared of fireworks"

I sobbed.

Xavier looked around the room.

Thinking of some way to calm down my fear.

First he got up and closed the door to lower the outside noise.

Then he turned on the sink and the shower, making the room drown in white noise.

"Better?"

He asked.

I nodded.

He sat down next to me before wrapping his hands around me.

"Don't worry Y/n, everything will be fine"

"Thank you Xavier"
