First Day of School is Always a Bitch
Rei woke up feeling groggy with hazy eyes and tangled hair. Pushing himself up into a half seated position he ran a clawed hand through his hair, winching every once and a while when his fingers got tangled in his hair. Rubbing his face, he got out of bed and walk to the bathroom. Getting into it he saw a few personal items of his roommate, tooth brush, razor, floss, mouth wash, and other bath necessities. Not really remembering exactly why he went into the bathroom in the first place, Rei walked out and sat back down on his bed. Brain still not working at full speed, Rei sat there just staring. It wasn't until his eyes began to roam around the room and he found a digital clock sprouting big red numbers that read 03:45, only then did Rei remember what he was suppose to be doing.
Jumping off the bed and rushing to the bathroom, Rei untangled his hair and brush his teeth so that he won't have sleep breath and ran out the room. He was about to make a dash for the elevator until he remembered that he didn't lock the door. Jogging back to the room he fumbled around for the key in his pocket until his fingers touch something slick and hard. Pulling the key out of his pocket, Rei lock the door and began his rush journey down the hall to the elevator.
He made it to the elevators and just as he was about to hit the little white button with the black arrow pointing down, the door to his left open with a ding and he briskly walk to the cart. Right before he could reach the cart, out steps the crimson eyed sex god; Rei halt his steps to admire his beauty. His brain telling that he had something important to do and that he could stare at the two tone hair boy another time, Rei snapped out of his trance and proceed to walk into the elevator cart. He click the A button on the side wall and waited. While he wait for the doors to close, Rei watch Kai walk down the hall until he couldn't see him anymore and the doors snap shut.
The cart began to slow down as it reaches A floor, then it finally stops with a jerk and the doors open up with a ding. Rei got off the elevator and walk to the middle of the hallway and stop. The elevator ride calm Rei's body but his mind was still racing one too many seconds per minute than he would like. Trying to focus on, once again, why he rush himself from his dorm to A floor, Rei stood there for a while until it hit him for the second time today, he was suppose to be getting his schedule for his classes today. Taking a deep breath, Rei begin to walk out the dorms and to the main campus, once there he makes his way towards the guidance office.
He enters the fairly large office and approach a short sturdy woman who looks like she was in her late 40's. The lady at the desk was looking at some papers, so in order to get her attention Rei cleared his throat. He waited a moment then the lady lifts up her head and took off her glasses, "Yes young man is there something I can help you with?"
Rei push some stands of his hair out of his eyes, "I would like to know if I could get my schedule for my classes and a lunch card."
The short lady moved her stubby legs and pushes the rolling chair to the computer and begins to type. After a while of waiting, Rei got his papers and lunch card. Thanking the lady he walked out the office and rounds the corner to walk back up to the elevators. He push the little white arrow button inwards and wait for the little light above the elevator door to light up and the doors to ding, looking at his untied converse the whole time. Hearing the ding Rei got on the elevator without looking up from his feet and presses the F button.
Just as the doors were closing a hand shot through the crack and the automatic doors open back up letting the owner of the hand come through the doors. Rei looked up when he notice that he still wasn't going anywhere and who he saw shocked him. The person whom he saw had the reddest and wildest hair that he had ever seen, yet somehow that crazy hair seemed to be neatly done. A sense of familiarity crash down on Rei and he began to ponder where he knew the redhead from not really noticing that he was staring. A voice pulled him out of his trance, "You wanna tell me what the fuck you staring at?"
Startled by the sharp edge of the voice Rei replied, "Nothing much, I was just admiring your hair color."
The red head eyes Rei suspiciously before he pressed the G button. The doors shut and the ride to the top started. While waiting, Rei looks over his class schedule and notice that his math class is at five o'clock. He had enough time to make it back to the room and grab him something to eat before heading out. Lost in his thoughts Rei didn't feel the stopping of the elevator nor the ding indicating that he had arrived on his floor.
The red head look out at the open door then to Rei who was still reading the paper in his hand. Sighing to himself, he cleared his throat to get Rei's attention, "You either get off or I'm closing the damn doors, I got somewhere to be."
Rei blush and hastily made his way off the elevator and to his room. In his hurry, Rei bumped into Kai who was coming down the hall. Rei started to apologize but stops once his eyes fell upon Kai's figure. He was still dress in the same black polo and jeans as he was earlier this morning but being so close to him, he took notice to his smell. Rei was again, for the second time that day, pulled from his thoughts.
"You need to watch where you're going." Was all Kai said before he continued down the hall towards the elevators where the red head was holding the doors open for him. Rei watches him walk into the elevator and hears a 'Sup Tala' before the doors shut.
Rei resumed the walk to his dorm, fishing for his key as he nears the door. So Tala was that guy name, he mused as he opens the door and walked into the room. Shutting the door behind him, Rei takes a quick glance at the digital clock to see it was 4:26. He makes his way to the fridge and opens it to see what was there when he remembered Kai's words from earlier. Sighing to himself, Rei goes to his bed and pull the brown paper bag that was sitting on the desk to his lap, which contains a sandwich he made before they left the house that morning. After finishing his lunch, Rei brush his teeth then left the dorm to head to his math class.

Mariah had finally situated herself in her dorm room. Her roommate was nowhere to be found so she made herself comfortable on her full size bed on her side of the room. That morning she had gotten her meal ticket and class schedule, her science class got canceled because lack of a professor and her next class wasn't until six thirty so she had some time to kill. Deciding to explore the campus Mariah gathered her hand wallet and made her way to the door.
Just as she was about to open it, the door open and a girl, who she could only assume was her roommate, was standing in front of her. The girl was a little taller than Mariah, with blond streaked blue hair and light brown eyes. Mariah stepped out the way for the girl to enter the room. Once she was in she set her bag down and turned to Mariah holding out her hand, "Hey there you must be my new roommate. My name is Jessica."
Mariah took her hand and shook it, "My name is Mariah. I hope you don't mind I moved some stuff around so I could get my stuff in."
Jessica waved her hand in the air, "Oh that's quite alright. I was meaning to move my crap out the way but just haven't gotten around to doing it." She let out a chuckle and smiles, "You were heading out right? Want me to show you around?"
Mariah eyes lit up and she gave a short nod, "Yea that would be awesome."
"Good just let me change shoes and we can go." Jessica said as she walks over to her closet and got a pair of flip flops and slid them on her feet. She grabbed her phone and purse and head to the door, "Alright let's go."
The two of them made their way out of the dorms and to the elevator. Jessica pressed the down button then turn to Mariah, "So where'd you come from?"
Mariah push some of her hair behind her pointed ear, "My brothers and I came from China. My Uncle got a job offer here so we moved."
The elevator doors open and they get on, Jessica press the A button and giggled, "Oh wow China huh? Not that far away but I'm sure the distance seems great. Did you say brothers?"
Mariah nods her head as the elevator came to a stop and they get off. They went around a corner or two before they walk out the front doors of the dorms, "Yea I have four brothers and they go here too. It's Lee, Rei, Gary, Me, then Kevin."
They cross the courtyard and enter a building. "This here is called the Lounge building. The café is here on the first floor, entertainment rooms are on the second floor, and study rooms are on the third floor." Jessica said as they walk through another set of doors leading to the café, "I wish I had that many siblings. It's only me and my Mom, well…Dad's around but he's not ya know?"
Mariah nods in understanding and gasp as she entered the café. She had never seen so many different food options before. Jessica's chuckling got her attention, "I guess you've never seen something like this huh?"
Mariah shook her head, "We lived on a farm. Home schooled for most of our lives. Sure we went out to the town but it's nothing like this."
Jessica laughed and took a look around the café, "Yea I guess if I had never seen something like this I'd be excited as well." She squealed and pulls Mariah hand, "Ok, you see that guy over there?"
Mariah eyes scan the café until she saw where Jessica was pointing, "Yea what about him?" she asks. The guy Jessica was pointing at was the two toned hair guy she saw back in the admissions office.
"Well," Jessica leaned in and started to whisper, "THAT is Kai Hiwatari. He's got to be the richest person who goes to this school. I hear he's excellent with the ladies, if you know what I mean." She wink and Mariah blush, "Also I'm trying to get with him. There's this party that's coming up soon that he and his buddies came up with. It's going to be at his house a few miles away from school. I'm totally trying to get with him before then."
Mariah look at the table where Kai and another man were sitting, "Who's the guy next to him?"
"That's Tala. He's the one hosting the party with Kai. Hear they have been friends for the longest. Come on, let's go over and introduce ourselves." Jessica said as she tug Mariah through the café in the direction of the table.
Kai and Tala stop talking when they came to their table. Jessica sat down and pulled Mariah into a seat next to her. Pulling her hair back and tossing it over one shoulder she eyed Kai and Tala, "Hey there, my name's Jessica and this is Mariah."
Tala raises a red eyebrow as he looked at Jessica then to Mariah who was trying to fix her hair. A smile crossed his features, "Ladies, what do we owe this pleasure?"
Jessica, noticing Kai's attention was on his cell phone, gave a little 'huff' before answering, "We just thought we would introduce ourselves."
Kai's phone rang just as Tala was about to speak again. Kai press the green button on the phone before getting up and walking away from the table. Tala shook his head and focused his grey blue eyes back to the two women sitting in front of him. He gave Jessica a quick scan, noticing her breast that was spilling out of her tank top and her blond-blue striped hair. He smirk a little before he looked over to Mariah who was staring off and checked her out, he notice her pink hair and her breast that she seem to be hiding behind way too much clothing. Tala's eyes brighten and he turn his focus back to Jessica, "Kai and I are holding a party two weeks from now, we'd be honored if you ladies would come."
Jessica blushed and pushed her chest out a little, "Of course we would come. I've heard about it for a while now, didn't know if it was an open party or not."
Tala smiled and stood up, "A party only for the finest." He tilts his head in goodbye and left the table.
Squealing Jessica turn to Mariah, "Oh. My. Gosh! I can't believe we just got invited!"
Mariah gave her a small smile, "Yea it should be fun."
Jessica laughed one more time in delight, "Come on let me show you the rest of the campus." They stood from their chairs and exit the café.

Lee was sitting in his Literature class about to slam his head on his desk. He was sure that was going to die of complete and utter boredom. The class itself, he was sure of it, wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for his boring ass teacher. He's been trying to make jokes since the start of class, bad ones at that. Really, he could deal with the bad jokes it was the monotone voice the man had that just about to drive Lee crazy. He swore under his breath for the sixth time since class started, he was sure if he didn't die from boredom he'd lose his hearing and go insane.
Lee was about to say 'fuck it all to hell' and leave class when a poke on his shoulder rouse him from his raging thoughts. He look over to his left and saw a purple haired, green eye, well built tan man looking at him with a smirk on his face. He motions for Lee to lean to the side and he close in, "Old bastard is kinda borin' ya?"
Infatuated with his accent, Lee simply nods his head. The guy spoke again, "Yea I've taken this class before. Slept through the whole damn thing and failed the finals, so here I am again listenin' to his annoyin' voice. The name's Keith by the way."
Keith extended his hand and Lee shook it, "My name's Lee."
Keith grins and took a breath to say something but a voice broke in, "Gentlemen is there something you'd like to share with the class?"
Keith eyes narrowed but before he could speak Lee cleared his throat, "No Sir."
The Professor gave them a flat look before resuming his lecture. Keith rolled his eyes and look back at Lee, "So ya new here huh?"
Lee opened his notepad and pretends he was taking notes, "Yea. My siblings and I came from China."
Keith let out a soft whistle, "China huh? I'm from Australia. Figured I'd try something new and this is where I ended up, been here for 'bout two years now."
"Never been to Australia before, never been anywhere really." Lee said as he drew a stick figure in his note pad.
"Ya it's not all folks make it out to be." Keith drum his pen on the desk, "So where ya bunkin' at?"
"I'm in C8 of the Kravis building." Lee completes his first stick figure and begins to work on another one. "What about you?"
Keith lean back in his char still thumping his pen on the desk, "I got my own place. Lil' apartment just off campus, not too far though, still within walkin' distance."
Curiosity getting the best of him, Keith peered over Lee's shoulder to see what he was drawing. What he saw made him laugh out loud and the Professor glared at him before returning back to the blackboard. Lee looks over to Keith and chuckles before he goes back to his drawing, putting the finishing touches on it. Once done he signs the bottom of it and gives it to Keith and continues to take notes. Keith gave a chuckle as he looked at the horrible stick figure drawing. He couldn't help but laugh every time he saw the stick figure of the Professor being karate kicked off a cliff by another stick figure that resembled Lee.
Keith picks up his pen and drew something on the piece of paper and hand it back to Lee. Lee looks down at the picture and it took everything in him to not burst out laughing at the talk bubble Keith drew over stick figure Lee's head screaming 'THIS IS LITERATURE!'. Giving up on trying to hold in his laughter, Lee explodes which cause the Professor to once again look in their direction at the back of the class, "Gentlemen you can either shut up or leave my class, pick one."
Keith has a 'eat shit' grin on his face and Lee was biting the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. After not getting an answer from either men, the Professor went back to the slid that he was showing the class. Once his back turns Keith shot up his middle finger and stuck out his pierced tongue. Lee chuckles again before returning back to his notes.
