Dorm Love

Chapter 1

I hear yelling downstairs. I check to see my phone and notice that the time is 2 pm. I slept in!! I'm moving into my dorm today and I'm already late, ugh!

I worked my ass off in high school to get into MICA, yet I somehow managed to sleep in during the biggest day of my life!?

"I'm a dumbass," I groaned while crawling out of bed to the bathroom to freshen up.

After getting changed, I hear knocks and giggles on my bedroom door. I roll my eyes already knowing who it is and open the door to greet two other dumbasses.

"Ugh, I'm not done with my makeup yet guys, wait!"

"Makeup? While you're wearing Pjs and a mickey mouse sweatshirt? Go shower first!" My friend Nashi rebutted.

"Bish I already showered. I chose to wear this, it's comfyyyyy. Now shup and leave thank you very much." I said.

"We'll be waiting downstairs, be ready in five or-"

"We're not coming with you!" Nashi interrupted my other close friend Lakshi. "My parents barely said yes, it took me ages to convince them."

Lakhi and I rolled our eyes in unison.

Eventually Lakshi and Nashi met with the door being slammed in front of their faces while they left the house to stand in front of my red car.

After loading my luggage in my parent's car and my car, my friends and I set off in my car to Maryland, which is about a one hour drive.

Not even ten minutes, I start hearing two special idiots...

"ON MY TABLE! ON MY PILLOW! YEAHHHH LIFE GOES ON! LIKE THIS AGAIN!"

"I-i-I-i remember, oh-whoa, yea-eah, yeah..."

"OH MY GOD! SHUP! I AM DRIVING!"

"Are we stopping for food anytime soon?" Nashi asks, disregarding the enraged me.

"I need to pee." Lakshi says innocently in a little high pitched voice with puppy dog eyes.

I simply ignore both remarks.

"What if... Nikila... meets, THE, not the, but THE love of her life, in college?" I heard Lakshi say.

"Yeah uh no, not happening." I responded back.

"Ya know, it could happen, you never know! Maybe you'll walk into your dorm, and since your dorms are co-ed, maybe you'll see, ahem, you know, him... Or your roommate could lead you to your soulmate. Anything can happen, it's college. Plus Lakshi and I can gossip about your love life hehe." Nashi said with a smirk, causing me to grip my steering wheel tighter as I felt heat rush up to my cheeks.

"Nashi, shut up! You haven't crushed on someone since uh like, forever, you can't say anything about my love life, got that AB!"

AB, the nickname I use for them, their last name initials.

Finally, we are here, barely in time might I add, but we made it!

I rush to sign in and get my dorm info while Lakshi and Nashi wait for me. I ran back to them (A/N, hold up, I haven't seen this woman run ever since I saw her.)... I walk back to them to bring them into the dorm building.

They helped me bring my luggage up to my dorm room, which is three floors up the building in room 305.

"This is it... My life starts once I step into this room. It's gonna change. I'm-"

"Oh shut the hell up, you don't even wanna grow up, now open the goddamn door." Nahsi interrupts annoyed.

My life is coming to a new beginning, I think to myself as I grab the door handle to shove the elegantly carved silver key through the lock of a intricately designed door made of birch wood in the shade of maroon red, something only an artist's eyes can see.

The door unlocks... I slowly turn the knob.

"OH MY GOD! YOU FREAKING SLOW ASS PIECE OF SHIT! OPEN THE DOOR WILL YA! I SAID I NEEDED TO PEE AND I STILL HAVEN'T! LET ME USE YOUR BATHROOM! JEEZ!" Lakshi exclaims, making me jump a little.

I clear my throat as I finally open the door to a beautiful smooth meat having six carvings of elegant masterpieces.
