Vampire Roommates

 "Congratulations," the principal spoke with a cheerful aura. "You've been accepted into The Imperium university."

My heart beamed as if rainbows encircled around my being, after hearing of the highly anticipated response I've been waiting for—like forever.

I lurched from my seat, bowing gracefully, causing the side of my hair to dangle at my right shoulder, with my hands glued to the side. "Thank you very much for accepting me...even though I'm already a week late from the registration deadline."

"No, thank you, we're so glad to have you here, it's never too late to accept a scholar student," the principal replied, as he slid some white sheets of paper in front of the oaken desk. "Here are your schedule list, your locker number, course descriptions, and dorm."

"Dorm...?"

"Yes, you'll have your room with another student here at our campus, however, since you did register late, we'll have you dorm with one spare room, one with an opposite gender, unfortunately, you wouldn't mind that, would you?"

I shook your head hastily, lifting myself up gracefully. "Ah no, that's quite alright, I'm sure I can manage, I'm just so grateful to accept whatever works at this time, especially since I did arrive late, thanks again, truly."

The next day, the principal gave me a personal tour around the large campus of the top university of the country. I hummed a nod in approval on each of the designated places shown to me. But, what stuck to my mind the most was my dorm. Knowing full well of my roommate as a male.

I had hoped to have a fun, cheery, and calm female to room with. Since I did daydream at times where we would have movie nights, sleepovers, eating sprees, or even study nights, if necessary. But now that the tables have turned, I wondered if this roommate of mine would possibly be welcoming, or even...comfortable to be around.

The best thing I could do now is to hope for the best.

I finally arrived at the front door of the dorm. My violet, glossy luggage was placed at the side, with my hand atop of the handle. I glanced around, spotting a large distance away from the next dorm room.

"...Huh, must be a large dorm for each paired roommates," I mused, tapping on my chin inquisitively.

I fished out my student card and tapped on the scanner beside the door. Immediately, a green light beamed from the side with a ding sound emitting below the device. A click sound of the door indicated it was unlocked.

I slowly turned the knob open, allowing the light emitted outside to bask the dark place. As I strolled in with my luggage, the automatic lighting turned on, revealing the most I have ever seen in my entire life.

I glanced around the place, it looked like it was already occupied—as expected. There were some dirty socks lying on the floor, but other than that, I couldn't help but be at awe at the height and beauty of this place.

My vision trailed from the nice cushioned, coloured sofas then towards the staircase that led up to a large bedroom. Then, my eyes flickered down towards the mini-kitchen underneath, not realizing that there was clanging sounds found from the kitchen.

"...Hello?" I called out, as I pulled my luggage and landed it beside the staircase.

I glanced to and fro, found nobody there. I went closer to the kitchen, eyes filled with wonder. I grasped in the beautiful, modern architecture of the mini-kitchen with all its appliances available. I slowly glided your fingers atop of the glossy, sparkly marble countertops as I began to circle around the area. Until, I noticed a little creature at the corner eating something.
