Anyway please leave reviews and stuff, I'll try to get the next chapter up soon. Enjoy!
Colt walked through the halls of the apartment complex she would share with the Minecrafters. After months of organization, her best friend and fellow Minecrafter Dawn, had managed to get her in. Over the phone, the two had talked roommates and boys, excitingly awaiting the day Colt would arrive. Dawn had given her the key to her room in the lobby as she ran out with her boyfriend Adam to go on a date, and told her that her roommate had already arrived.
Walking down the hall to Room 1218, she took a deep breath and opened the door. The living room was pleasingly neat, and her room had been marked. Walking cautiously in, she shut the door and set her things on the bed. She unpacked her clothes and put the sheets on the bed hurriedly, eager to meet her roommate. Stepping timidly into the hall, she squeaked as she collided with another person.
Colt heard a yelp from the person as they both stumbled backwards, slightly stunned. Rubbing her head, she blinked, trying to clear her vision. As the world came into focus, she saw her roommate: a tall guy of about 6 feet with close-cropped blond hair and sharp blue eyes. He shook his head, obviously just as dazed as she was. "Sorry!" she said, feeling awful.
He just looked at her. "Who the hell are you?"
Colt suppressed a rude remark, looking indignant. "Your roommate, smartass. Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Jerome."
She almost fell over again. "Jerome, huh? I'm Colt." she said.
Jerome looked quizzically at her for a moment. "Dawn's friend?"
"Yeah, that's me."
"Cool."
"Yup."
Colt felt awkward as Jerome sized her up. He wasn't half-bad looking, but he certainly had an asshole streak. She ran a hand anxiously through her long brown hair, biting her lip in thought. Then, sighing, she walked down the hall and out the door. "Bye, Jerome. See ya' later."
Jerome called after her. "Bye, chica!"
Colt rolled her eyes as she trotted down the stairs to Dawn's room. Her phone vibrated in her pocket, and she stopped midstride, leaning against a wall to answer it.
-COLT!
-Hey, Haylee.

Stuffing her phone back in her pocket, Colt smiled. Finally! Haylee and her boyfriend (he was her fiancé now, Colt reminded herself) had been together for nearly five years, and now that they were finally out of college, everyone had been waiting for the two to get married. Then Colt's smile faded as she remembered her ex-boyfriend Bolt, in the hospital with possibly fatal lung cancer. God, she was so alone.
Continuing the walk down the stairs lost in thought, she didn't hear the footsteps sneaking up behind her. Hands covered her eyes, and Colt screamed as a hand pulled her in by her chest. "Guess who?" a voice whispered in her ear mysteriously.
Colt smiled. "Damn it, Jason!" she laughed as the hand was removed from her eyes. She was spun around and lifted into the arms of her best friend Jason, better known as MinecraftUniverse. They had been best friends since first grade, and at one point they had even been a couple, but now they were just friends.
Jason set her down and grinned madly. "I'm not the only one who wants to see you, girlie!" he said, pressing himself against the wall as a loud screech echoed from above. As a confused, then shocked look crossed Colt's face, a girl of about 20 ran full force into her, wrapping her in a bear hug. 'COLT! You're here!" the young woman yelped, jumping happily.
Colt threw back her head, laughing so hard she could barely breathe. "EMBAH!" she said, giggling now. Jason peeled himself off the wall, still grinning deviously. "You two are insane." He said, flashing a crazy look at Colt and then putting his arm around Ember's shoulders. "I will never understand girls."
Colt and Ember smiled and both gave him looks. "Riiight, because you and Bodil TOTALLY didn't freak out when he got in this morning." Ember said, affectionately leaning into her boyfriend's chest.
Colt raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Do tell."
Ember gave her friend an even bigger grin. "Jason practically fangirled over Bodil when he came in from his flight!" she said.
Jason flushed. "I did not fangirl! I-I….."
The two girls laughed hysterically as Jason flushed even harder. Finally, he started laughing too. "Dammit, Ce!" he said, stealing a kiss on the cheek. Colt rolled her eyes. "You lovebirds, you." she said. "Who else is waiting for me?"
Ember brushed her short brown hair from her face. "Well, everyone! Dawn and I spread it around."
Colt grinned. "Shall we go say hello?"
