Today was move in day for me, and I was so excited! I mean who wouldn't be? It's college! I was already packed up in the car and was ready to make this 2 hour drive to my new home, for the next four years. I live in upstate New York, which is actually by Niagara falls which I will miss dearly because I went to see the falls almost every day after school to just relax and do what I do best, write; but now my journey is taking me to the University of Toronto, Canada. It's cold there most of the time, which means, it will always be sweater weather! I love the cold; I'm not immune to it and most of the time I'm shivering because it it cold, but I love buying huge sweaters and hoodies to wear on a daily. I'm really looking forward to the cold.
Making my way to Toronto, Canada, my parents drove as I listened to my favorite song, Go Go, by BTS. I could not help but think of my future after the four long, yet short years, at college. I was going to be an English major and minor in TESOL, just for the sole purpose to teach English in SOUTH KOREA! Yes! I want to travel overseas and teach in Korea. That has honestly been my dream since I was in middle school . I have always dreamt of being able to live in Korea one day, and I happened to find an amazing program to be able to be a foreigner teacher there. So I am completely pumped right now. College is the beginning to my dream.
When we finally arrived to the campus, I could not help, at being amazed at how beautiful the campus looked with snow all over the buildings. It looked so bright and beautiful. I could play in the snow all day if I wanted to.
Once we found the building I would be living in, I got my key and we started grabbing my stuff to bring it up to my new room. I was so excited at this point I didn't pay attention to the cramping in my arms, that my bags were causing. I live in a dormitory called, Tonto hall. My room was located on the second floor and my room number was 216. I practically ran down the hall, trying not to run into the other students who were moving in, to find my room number. Once I found my room door I had realized the door was wide open.
'Was my roommate here too?!' was the first thing I thought about.
I walked in trying to catch my breath, and I came across and male person with bright blue eyes, and medium length, silver hair. He was also a bit taller than me. He looked very intimidating, so it made me a bit nervous to say hi to him.
"H-hi I'm your roommate, Demyx…" I awkwardly said
"Hey, I'm Riku" He replied confidently.
I realized afterwards since he had gotten there before me he had already pick a side of the room. So I didn't have much a choice in which side I would get. I got the right side of the room from the door. I put my stuff on top of my naked bed and continued to bring my stuff up with my parents. After they helped me bring my stuff up I said my goodbyes to my parents and I started unpacking.
It wasn't going to be official until I was officially moved in. I dressed my bed and organized my side the way I saw it fit for me. I did bring a decent sized T.V. so I put my dresser against my bed so my T.V. would perfectly face me when I would lay or sit in bed. I moved a small dresser I had in my closet so I could lower my bed. I organized all my school stuff in my desk along with my movies and games and then started to unpack my clothes. While doing all of this Riku didn't move an inch off of his bed. He was just laying down without it being made. He was on his phone while all his stuff was still packed in boxes and bags on the floor. It did bother me a bit, but I guess not everyone was going to be as excited as I was. I would have made conversation with him but I didn't know how… I am a bit awkward when it comes to meeting people and making friends. The friends I have that I'm close too were online.
When I was done unpacking, I could finally say I was an official college student living on campus. I was so excited to tell my online friends that I didn't hesitate to grab my laptop off my desk and turn it on to message them in our group chat. Right when I got comfortable and it turned on Riku had gotten up and left the room. It caught me off guard, but I ignored it afterwards. Plus we have to use public bathrooms here so who knows? He may have had to pee after laying down that entire time in bed.
Anyways, After my laptop was on I went to the browser and went to the website, . Wechat is a chat that people can use to meet people online that has the same interest in them, and start group chats. I got into Wechat in high school and ever since I have been hooked. I have made an amazing group of friends on here. When I entered the group chat I didn't hesitate to start the convo.

Also I met someone a week ago on Wechat that I wanted to add to our group, but I told him I would ask first.

DarkHeart: Nothing really, I just started college today but I'm not really excited about it.
DancingH2O: Really? Me too! I'm excited though, lol I have never left home like this before so it excites me. Why aren't you excited?
DarkHeart: I'm not sure I guess, I'm just more nervous than anything. I have never been good with school. I just hope I'm not wasting the money for me to just fail and not do good.
DancingH2O: I understand that, I bet everyone will struggle a bit because it's college but just don't doubt yourself I'm pretty sure you will make it and do great!
DarkHeart: you are very uplifting you know that? Actually managed to make me feel more calm and less stressed. Thanks I needed that push.
DancingH2O: no problem, If you ever need a push, You can count on me.
DarkHeart: I'll remember that ;) I'll get going now and I'll instant message you later. Thanks again.
DancingH2O: no problem!
After he had left the group I left right behind him. I get easily flustered when people are grateful to the things I do, and not only that, He had put a winking face. I had no idea what that was about. It threw me off. After a long day of unpacking and making a new friend I was ready to go to sleep. I took a quick shower and decided not to wait up on my roommate. I turned over and went to sleep.
I was sound asleep my first night being a college student, until I was woken up to the sound of a loud bump on the floor. I quickly sat up and turned my lamp on to see what it was, and to my surprise it was Riku, my roommate who looked quite flushed in his face. He seemed a bit unbalanced trying to get up off the floor, then it hit me… 'he's drunk'. How does a person already get drunk on the first night of school? I couldn't help but feel sorry for him because if this was his first day who knows how he would be the entire school year, and he's my roommate. 'Boy did I happen to get lucky'. Not really.
Ignoring the fact that I was annoyed by him being intoxicated in the middle of the night, I got out of bed to help him make it to his bed, even though it was two inches from where he landed on the floor. Not only did he stink of pure alcohol he was really heavy, I could barely hold him up. In the process of trying to lay him on his bed I tripped which caused us both to fall on the floor. Trying to gather my thoughts after the fall I realized that Riku was laying right on top of me...his face was literally just inches away from mine. I grew nervous. I don't know why I had no reason to be nervous, he was drunk first off and we fell...which was my fault. "You smell nice..." my eyes widened from shock. He just stated that I smell good. Ofcourse I do I showered and I'm the one who isn't drunk right now. Why was he commenting on the way I smelled anyways? I started to sit up as I wrapped my arms around his chest to sit him up as well, in the process of doing this though he immediately pushed me back down, by pressing his hands against my shoulders. "H-hey! Why are you pushing me back down? I'm trying to help you up." He didn't respond. He flat out ignored me.
I felt his hand, starting to go up my shirt. It caught me off guard…"W-what are you d-" he cut me off by pressing his lips against mine. I didn't know what to do, or how to get out of this….is he even aware of what was happening right now? Obviously not he's fucking drunk. I pushed him off of me and broke the kiss. "Stop!" Our eyes met...Looking into his eyes made me feel for him, his eyes were so sad. I wasn't sure whether it was because I stopped him or if it was because of something else.
I snapped out of it, remembering the situation I was in. It was not that important to find out why he may have been sad within this moment. The goal right now was to get him off of me and on to his bed. I wrapped my arms around his chest and then proceeded to stand us both up. I again fumbled but to my luck we fell on his bed. He slightly groaned out of annoyance but I was too tired to care. I stood up while he continued to lay sideways on his twin sized bed, then I straightened him out. I took off his black converses and put them by his desk and then grabbed his covers and placed them over him. I made my way into my bed and I was out before my head even hit the pillow.
