The Roommate Down The Hall

Chapter 2: The Alto and The Forest

*Kyle's POV**

I had to try to compose myself fast.  I shook my head slightly and realized she was still waiting for and answer.

"Oh, Right. Come on in. I'll call Austin"

I let her in and went over to the stairs. He would hear me.

"Austin! There's a girl here about the roommate thing!" I screamed. The unknown girl was just standing there. I glanced at her again, she looked nervous. She seemed to be sort of shy, out of her element. I didn't know what to say to put her at ease.  As she waited, she looked around, taking everything in. I looked away and walked into the kitchen to get something to drink.

 I ended up settling for juice after not finding anything else that was sparking my taste buds. Austin was down the stairs before I could even finish pouring the drink into the glass.  I could see them slightly from the kitchen. Well, I might as well observe...

He could see that she was nervous. He smiled at her to show her it was okay and he introduced himself. In return, She smiled and introduced herself, to which I  could not hear. Her smile was amazing. Although I could not hear what they were saying, I am assuming that he was questioning her about things he needed to know. She answered them calmly and Austin responded positively. He held his hand out in a movement for her to follow him. He was going to show her the rest of the house. I took this time to think about what it would be like to have this girl living here. I wouldn't like the idea of sharing the bathroom with a girl, but at least she seemed normal. I sat back down to watch the movie that I still didn't know the name of. i had gotten through nearly all of the movie when Brandy arrived home. I quickly changed the channel in fear of her making a quick joke about how much of a man I wasn't for watching some sappy movie. She had a few bags in her hands. Knowing her, there was more where that came from. I sighed and dragged my ass off the couch. I didn't even really like Brandy, but if I neglected her, I would hear it from Austin later. I went out to the car and got them. I also put them away since it was my turn to do that and the dishes. When I was done, I sat back down on the couch. My mind couldn't help but wonder about this girl. I didn't even know her name yet. Maybe it was Alex. Or maybe Isabelle. She looked like she could be an Isabelle.

"Kyle, is the roommate here?" Allison asked as she made he way over to me. 

 "Yeah, she's downstairs, I think. You can go meet her," I explained.

 "Have you talked to her?"

 " Not yet; haven't had the chance. she seems nice though... Not like the others." 

 "Yay!" she sang doing a little dance," New Roomie!"

 I smiled at her. She was funny. With that, she let to go meet this girl. i had to laugh to myself when she was gone. Allison was the most hopeful for a roommate. She just wanted another friend. I mean, Her and Brandy were friends, but they had grown apart ever since Brandy started dating Austin. Brandy sometimes left Allie hanging when it came to Austin. Before I could think of anything more, they all walked up the stairs. Allison had already made friends with the new girl. They were laughing about something that I hadn't heard the punch line to.

"Well, I think that is safe to say that you've got it! you can move in tomorrow if you'd like. Kyle and myself can help, " Austin said smiling.

She looked over my way. I offered her a smile and a wave. She grinned and gave me a small wave back.

"Well," Alli began," I'm going to head up to my room. I guess I'll see you tomorrow," Allison told the brunette. She nodded and waved. Then she was gone.

"I'm gonna go say 'Hi' to Brandy. You can stay as long as you'd like. Kyle wont bite." 

 Hard... I thought to myself.
