Don't Listen to Your Heart

2. Who Are You Exactly?

7.30am. I quickly got up and reached the little kitchen we had in our dorm. It was not that little, at least one thing less to complain about, right? I made some strolled eggs, bacon and pancakes. I smiled of satisfaction of how good breakfast came out and reached the bathroom to brush my hair. As I walked back in the room I gasped.

"Uhm, excuse me?" I asked with a confused-mad look at that guy, Rocky, who was eating my breakfast from my plate.

"Yeah?" he asked, kept eating.

"That should be my breakfast. I woke up early just to make it!" I whined, he suddenly stopped and looked up at me.

"Who are you exactly?" he asked, I sighed.

"Sasha, we introduced ourselves yesterday. Ugh"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I mean.. Who are you?" he asked again,

"Oh, I'm sorry, are you deaf?" I asked as he quickly gave me a bad look.

"I mean.. did we have sex?" he asked as I stared at him with a blank expression,

"You can't be serious"

"Did we?" he asked again,

"NO. Goddamn. I'm your roommate" I yelled, throwing the plate away from him.

"Hey! I was eating that!" he yelled back,

"Yeah, and I prepared that"

"Well, you should haven't leave it here then" he said with an obnoxious tone.

I sighed, picked my clothes and quickly reached the bathroom. I've heard there was an Hotel not to far from my College. Hotel Cortez. Maybe I should've gone there and checked in instead of being there in that dorm. Dorms were usually the cheapest choice but, at that point, I didn't mind spending some more money.

"Welcome to your Chemistry class everyone, hope you like it" the teacher, Mrs.Roland, said.

The door suddenly opened, as we all turned to see who it was. A familiar figure walked in, Rocky. I rolled my eyes and turned back to my desk.

"Lynch, you're late. Again" Mrs.Roland said crossing her arms,

"Actually.. you're lucky I came" he said, making me gasp, as I looked at him in disgust.

"This is your first strike, Mr.Lynch. Two more and I'll be forced to make some changes I'm warning you"

He slowly started walking through the room with a smirk on his face. Our eyes locked for a second, I looked at him with another disgusted look on my face, he quickly looked away. I didn't know what was the problem with that guy but I guess I had to learn how to live with it since we were now roommates.

"I really hope you guys will take with course with a good attitude" Mrs.Roland said with a hopeful smile, I slightly smiled.

"Ew, don't" a familiar voice said next to me,

"Ugh Rocky, what do you want from me?" I whined.

"Just making sure you don't fuck with your life"

"No offence, you don't look like someone who could give advice"

"You won't always have your mother to give you money, you have to work on your own. Don't you think a job is way more important that this chemistry shit?" he asked,

"My mother never gave me a shit, stop talking" I said as I quickly left my desk for another one, he kept on following me with his eyes.

"Oh, you're here" Rocky said walking in our room, "I looked for you the whole morning"

"I was in the library"

"In the what?" he asked with a wondering look, I ignored him and looked down at my books again.

"Are you.. are you really studying?" he asked again. I sighed, put my earphones on and layed down my bed.

"Listen.." he started,

"Just go out I don't wanna talk to you" I cried, he quickly stood up and left the room shutting the door behind him.

The main reason why I was going to College was basically to get a nice job, hopefully my dream one, and get out of that damn house I've grown up in. My mother has always been a nightmare to me, and till I wouldn't move it wouldn't change. That was why I picked up that College, it was basically the only one that was 3 hours away from home. I knew it wasn't that much but it was definately a start, a first step. My mother wouldn't come visiting me anyway so it was completely perfect, I was ready to start my own life now, with or without her.

I heard the door opening from the bathroom. I quickly washed my face, took a deep breath and walked out.

"Rocky, I-" I started but suddenly stopped as I saw him hooking up with a girl,

"Oh.." I whispered walking back in the bathroom.

That was awkward. I slowly let my body down, sat on the floor and sighed.

In what I guess it was an hour later, I slowly opened my eyes. I blinked a couple of times, rubbed it and looked up.

"You literally sleep everywhere, uh?" Rocky laughed helping me to stand up,

"Don't you help me" I quickly said pulling his arms away from me.

"What do you think I am? A maniac?" he asked sounding offended,

"It's not that" I said, laying on my bed.

"Look, I'm not a guy you usually would talk to about problems anyway so it's okay" he said walking through his bed,

"Rocky, wait" I sighed, he turned to me,

"Nah, you're right. Try to get some sleep, in your bed hopefully" he softly smiled, I smiled back.
