-MAX-
He went from cute to annoying in exactly 0.2 seconds. Maybe I overacted a little, but hey, he should know who he is going to be living with for the next couple of months. I sighed deeply, why did I always have to start fights with people? That's what got you kicked out of your last school, Max.
I just need to learn his schedule so I can make little contact with him as possible and we will fine. I started clearing some things off the windowsill and moving it to his desk. I heard the door unlock soon followed by a thunderous voice.
"What the hell are you doing with my stuff?" He yelled, pushing me away from the window. I grinded my teeth together. I took all I had to not tackle him to the ground right there.
"We are sharing a room." I pointed out anger lacing every syllable, "I know you're not very happy about it, but I need at least one shelf for my stuff."
He glared at me. I glared right back at him.
I don't know how long we stood there just glaring at each other, hoping the amount of anger I felt toward him was showing in my eyes. In my head, there were flames. I hope he saw the fire.
The door swung open, but our eyes held.
"Yo Fang, me and Gaz-"
The voice was male, deep. I guessed he was tall, maybe even built, but I was too stubborn to confirm my predictions.
"Uh, Fang?" He asked again, I could tell he was getting uncomfortable. Fang broke eye contact, "Yeah Iggy?" I laughed to myself, he sounded almost annoyed. Fang looked back at me, I smiled.
"Gaz and I were going to that dorm party tonight if you wanted to come. But, more importantly who is this?"
"I'm Max, Fang's new roommate." I said, with a slight wave.
He looked at Fang then back at me and burst out laughing.
"Wow Fang...you didn't even want…you got yourself…a girl on top of everything…" He choked out between laughs.
"Well, anyway," He said finally gaining composure, "I'm Iggy. If you can't already tell Fang isn't big on…people. Me an' Gaz try to socialize him, but…" He glanced over at Fang, then stopped talking. Fang looked like he was about ready to snap his neck in half.
"Have fun at the party Fang, I can finish moving in myself." I said happily.
"There is no way in hell that you're doing that without me being here." He said.
"Seriously, what is with you? Are you going to start locking your shit up too?" I asked, secretly feeling bad that I called his stuff shit. His eyes narrowed and he opened his mouth for a comeback when Iggy's laughter interrupted.
"Well, I think you guys are going to have fun living together."
We both snapped out heads to look at him. It sounded so weird when it was put like that. I wouldn't just being using this room to sleep. I would need space to study and get ready and change clothes…
"Split the room in half?" Fang suggested. I shrugged; it's as if he knew the thoughts running through my mind.
"Right here." He said, tracing a line from the bed to the wall with his finger. "Um, I think not. You get the desk, the dresser, and the closet? No. I get at least one."
"I thought you got the windowsill?"
"Seriously? I was trying not to impose, figuring you would offer some more space. I cannot believe you!"
"Me?! Well if it wasn't for your stupid name we wouldn't be in this situation!"
My jaw dropped, did he just go there? My hand twitched wanting to punch him in big, stupid face. He glared at me and I glared back. Eh, what the hell. I punched him. It was a rather quick decision, but I loved it. Which kind of makes me sound like a psycho, but trust me I'm not.
He stumbled backward and touched his cheekbone. One of my rings hit the thinnest part of his cheekbone and slit it open. Whoops.
I glanced back at the door. Iggy stood wide-eyed. I felt like I should apologize for hitting his friend, but at the same time that dumbass had it coming.
"Um, yeah, just put some ice on it and it should be fine. Sorry for punching your friend." I said uncomfortably. He broke out in a smile and I was wrapped up in a hug. I pushed him away, what the hell dude?
"Sorry, but it's about time that someone socked that dramatic, emo kid back into reality."
I returned his smile, I might actually find friends at this school.
