Let's get this train rolling!

"Oh. My. God." Maya said as she admired all Cornell's art supplies. There was every hue imaginable, even some she's never even seen before.
"Oh hello," Maya heard a woman's voice say to her.
"Hi, are you the art teacher?" Maya asked.
"Yes, my name is Ms. Rivas. Are you one of my new students?" Ms. Rivas inquired.
"Yes, I'm Maya Hart. Ms. Kossal said she knows you and got me into Cornell."
"Oh! You're one of Kossal's students? Well then you must have lots of talent. Are you the one she sent some artworks from?"
"Yes, actually. I can't wait to be one of your students."
"Thank you. I'm going to go get some lunch, but stay in here as long as you like."
"Thanks, bye!" Maya waved. "I can't believe I get to be an art major!" She exclaimed as she went back to her dorm.
"This place has the greatest food ever," Lucas said with a mouth full of a meatball sub.
"Hey, is this seat taken?" a girl asked Lucas.
"Not at all, please sit," Lucas wiped his mouth.
"Thanks, I'm Savi," she politely said.
"Lucas. Nice to meet you," Lucas shook her hand.
"What are you majoring in?"
"Animal sciences. Vet courses to be exact."
"You don't seem like a vet to me."
"I get that a lot."
The two chatted for awhile until Lucas had to go to his dorm.
"It was nice meeting you, Savi."
"You too. I hope I'll see you around sometime."
Maya opened the door to her new dorm and went to grab her phone charger. She was humming a tune and put in her ear buds to dance. Until she opened her eyes when she was tapped on her shoulder.
"Maya?", Lucas asked, wide eyed.
"Lucas?" Maya mimicked.
"I guess we're roommates now," Lucas awkwardly said.
"I guess so... So what room do you want? I think they're both the same size..."
"I'll take the one at the end."
"Okay. Well I'm gonna go unpack."
They went to get their bags and locked themselves in their rooms.
"Riles! You will not believe who my roommate is!" Maya said to her phone.
"Who is it? Is he hot?"
"It's Lucas."
"Lucas Friar?"
"No... Lucas Williams. Yes Lucas Friar!"
"Ooh girl... Have fun hitting that."
"Shut up, Riley. He's just a Mr. Perfect cowboy. We're not right for each other."
"Mmhmm..."
"How's Julliard?"
"Really fun! I met so many nice people already! I can't wait for this school year to start!" Riley bubbled over the phone before she talked on and on while Maya unpacked.
"I have to go now, Riles. I'll call you later."
"Have fun with Lucas!", Riley teased before Maya hung up.
Her room was fully unpacked by eight pm and she decided to go check if Lucas wanted to do something.
"Dude, you have no idea who my roommate is," Lucas said to Zay over the phone.
"Who is it?"
"Maya fucking Hart!"
"No way! Dude have fun hitting that."
"I don't anything about her, I'm not gonna sleep with her."
"Sure... How's Cornell?"
"Not bad. The food is way better than Quincy. I got a fucking meatball sub for lunch."
"Sounds awesome. USC isn't that bad either."
The two talked about their colleges and who they met while Lucas unpacked.
"Alright I gotta go man, call you later."
"Bye, dude. Have fun with Maya." Lucas could feel Zay waggling his eyebrows the phone before he hung up.
His room was unpacked by eight and he went to see if Maya wanted to go out.
"Hey Maya?" Lucas asked as he closed his bedroom door.
"What's up Huckleberry?" Maya replied as she opened her door.
"Huckleberry?" Lucas looked confused.
"It fits. Hey, you wanna do something?" Maya replied.
"I was just about tot ask you that and yeah."
"So what should we do?"
"Let's just grab some coffee, sound good?" Lucas offered.
"Sounds great, let me just get my jacket."
They headed out to a local coffee place and talked for a little bit.
"Wow, Shelia sounds really annoying," Maya commented.
"She was. I'm just glad I'm never going to see her again," Lucas took another sip of coffee. "It was really nice of Ms. Kossal to get you into Cornell though."
"I know. Ms. Rivas sounds really sweet. Did you meet any of your teachers yet?" Maya asked.
"No, not yet. I hope they sound as nice as yours."
"Hehehe. Good luck, Hopalong," Maya smirked.
"Hopalong? Where do you come up with these nicknames?"
"They fit," Maya shrugged.
"Alright, Shortstack." Lucas retaliated.
"Touché," Maya smiled.
They laughed and talked for an hour until they walked back to their dorm. Until shit happened.
Lucas had a habit of blasting his music in his room that Maya could hear him playing Family Portrait by P!nk.
"Lucas!" Maya banged on his door.
He opened the door to an enraged Maya who looked like she was on the verge of tears.
"Yes?" Lucas yelled over the music.
"Turn off the fucking song!" Maya screamed.
"It's a good song! Why should I?" Lucas calmly yelled.
"Turn! Off! The! Fucking! Song!" Maya screeched before slamming her bedroom door. Lucas lowered the volume and called Riley.
"What's up, Lucas?" Riley asked over the phone.
"Hey, Riley. Umm... So Maya just stormed into her room and slammed her door. Any idea why?" Lucas rushed.
"What were you doing?"
"Nothing. I was just playing some music."
"What song?" Riley hesitated.
"Family Portrait by Pink."
"You're fucked."
"What? Why?"
"Have you heard the lyrics?"
"Yeah that's why I listen to it."
"Well don't listen to it in front of Maya."
"Why?"
"That song is her life in one song! The mother crying, the dad leaving, the little kid crying! AKA her life!"
"I'm fucked, aren't I?"
"Yup. Good luck. Bye."
"Thanks, Riley. Bye." Lucas hung up. Now he had to think of a way to make it up to Maya.
Ms. Rivas is based off of one of my BFFs.
