Maybe you're tired of the way that everyone's story nowadays has some girl with a helluva lotta courage who lives in this weird-ass society with a bunch of old people making idiotic rules about… I don't even know, some weird shit. Blah blah blah, it's all the same, girl lives, saves the day, blah blah.
Well, what do you think about a story about a guy, like me, who meets another guy, falls in love, and otherwise lives a completely normal, shit-free life? Oh, you like that, do you? Well, you're in luck.
My name is Lovino Vargas, and I had just started my first year of college. I'm pretty smart, all right? I got into the best one in the world, a true star among universities. Thankfully, it was an international school, so most of the people there were in the same boat I was in. The same shitty boat.
Of course, the first day was fun. My roommate was this kid named Antonio. He had tan skin, darker than mine, and brown hair. He had eyes that were so green I lost myself for a while.
"Hola, my name is Antonio Carriedo, it's very nice to meet you! Your room is right next to mine, in that hallway! I have to go sleep because I'm seriously jet-lagged. I hope we can become friends!" he exclaimed rapidly. He then proceeded to shake my hand and run over to his room.
"…Hey." I said softly. What the hell?
I went into my room and folded my clothes into the dresser. I was glad the man next door didn't trash my room. I sighed and lay down on the bed, trying to recall my schedule. My phone buzzed, a signal that some idiot was texting me.
Feliciano: hey fratello what s goin on?/?/
Lovino: Can you try to type like a sophisticated, educated person?
Feliciano: :'( come on frazzle I'm txting u for a reasn
Feliciano: *fratello
Lovino: You know what, idiota? I have to take a nap, all right? I'll catch you later.
I sighed, laying my phone down gently on the side table next to my bed. I let my eyes close and just thought about things for a while.
I could already tell that this would be quite an interesting year.
