Six (1)

Who's my roommate? The question that's busting inside my head since then. I never thought about who i'm going to have to be with inside a one room. Specifically, i suddenly miss being at home, lying on my bed and day dreaming. But this isn't high school. This is college. And somehow life changes and everything changes when it did. I squeeze my eyes shut and move on my right side once inside the elevator. I had to close my eyes for a minimum time to stop me from thinking.

This is different from living in the house. Yes, i probably have a will to be free from everything that's not to be do but the reminder of my mom to me had always been inside my mind through the whole time. I started thinking of what am i doing at this time at home. Probably baking cookies or doing nothing. And again, this is different. I felt different. Will i have any friends here? I suddenly missed Taylor. She's in a different college. In Yale. I remember lastly when i called her, last year, in December where we said our goodbye's and when she flied then. To Yale.

ding!           

I went out of the elevator, stepping on the third floor. I run my finger along the edge of the key i was holding and walked towards the room number 126 and i was about to insert my key when someone had already opened it. It was a girl. Thank god it isn't a guy then. She opens the door wide open and let me inside. She has a straight brown hair and green eyes. She looks simple and friendly. The wallpaper of the room is floral and there was a white carpet. The sight is pleasant to the eyes and it somehow makes me want to lie down in bed and read.

"Welcome to Stanford University, where hell bents fall into place," She smiles and i return one. I drop my bag on the floor and slump down on my bed, earning a grin from her. "I'm Natalie Jackson. Call me Nat." She says and hands her hand out.

"Hazel Blues. Call me Six." I shook her hand and she smiles at me, sitting on the edge of her bed and looks at me. Somehow it shoot right through me. She was probably going to ask me why my nick name is Six when truly my name is Hazel.

"Why is it Six?" I knew it. I told Taylor once. Just her and never told anyone about my nick name but i felt like Natalie is to be trusted. Sometimes, there is an urge for me to pick someone to be trusted. That's why my brother had always told anyone that's my friend to be loyal to me. Hmm. "If you don't want to tell me, well, it's alright." She said but i smile at her.

"When i was a baby, my heart skipped a beat of 6 times and stopped. The doctors had to do something to keep me alive and then it was an hour for my heart to beat again. It's .. crazy right?" But she didn't look at me like it was crazy, though. I think no one has the same reason like mine's when it comes to nick names.

"Actually, i never heard anyone having that kind of history of their nick name. Mine is, well, just a thought of my mom to call me. I wish i have that kind of history," I looked at her as if she were crazy and she just shrugs. "Oh, look, i'm socializing!" That made me laugh. "Hey, i'm going at the cafe' to meet up with Stacy, in case you don't know her, she's my friend." She smiles.

"Thanks but .. no thanks. Just go, i'll be okay here," I reassured her and she stares at me for a while before nodding and walking out of the door. I lie down and stare at the ceiling for no such reasons and i stood up, deciding if i'll pull out all of my things and put it in its designated places or walk around the campus. I decided to walk around the campus for me to be familiar with this, uh, place.

I walked out of the room and locked it before walking inside the elevator. I pushed the button that's the first floor on the lobby and stand still on the left side, staring at my own faded reflection on-like-metal. Once the elevator stops, signaling that i'm now at the first floor, inside the lobby and i continue to walk. It was cold so i clutch my jacket so tight and went outside, still clutching my jacket. I never did knew anyone who's outside the building even if i stare among their faces one-by-one. I was stepping on the grass and i felt it more warmer while i get close on the other building. I went in and was welcomed by people. Ugh. I thought i'll be alone here. 

I walked through the hallway and the doors were closed. Why are there still people in here? Are they on tour or something? I went out and proceeded inside the third building. It's a library. I picked up a various of books and push it back to the shelf when i'm not interested on it. I grab the book entitled : hush, hush but i can't pull it. i look around before pulling it harder as i can but thought the book looked like it was glued on the shelf. I rolled my eyes and pulled the book one last time unexpected that i finally got it. I glare at where i got it and a pair of piercing green eyes made me flinch. I stood still and those pair suddenly walked out leaving me terrified. What the hell?

I go to the counter and the librarian gave me a warm smile before taking the book from me. I turn around and just saw that the library was full. I then, turned to meet those piercing green eyes again that i felt terrified for. This time, it wasn't just his green eyes. I can see him. Like the whole him. A playful smirk stretched across his face and he didn't turn away so i did, turning my attention back to the book that is now on top of the desk and i grab it, walking out of the building. His eyes are like Natalie's but i didn't felt terrified when i saw Natalie. Why does he have this effect on me?

I suddenly wanted to read

hush, hush. Just hearing the title

is giving me the urge to read it. Ha ha :) x
