I awoke to the sound of the shower going and the smell of fresh coffee.
" oh no" please tell me it's before eight," Becca what time is it?" I questioned my room mate who had just gotten out of the shower
" its seven o'clock" was her heavenly reply.
I couldn't even express the relief I felt when she's said that. I rushed to get ready because I had to make it to Graham hall by eight walking. This was going to be a mission. I left my dorm building at seven thirty and walked the fastest I could. This should have been comical, a fat girl almost running down the street but I just blended in with everyone else trying to get to class on time.
I made it to chem. With five minutes to spare. Trying to hide the dew that accumulated on my forehead I grabbed a seat in the back hoping nobody would notice me. Our professor would assign partners today and I hoped he would assign me somebody who would pull their weight because I really needed this class to be a veterinarian.
Once class started he passed out lists of things we would need to divide between us and our partners. I looked over the list and knew this would be pricey. Just when he was about to announce partner's Eddie came into the room.
"Is there something that you need?" My professor asked offended that his class was being disturbed.
"Yes, I think I'm signed up for this class." Was his nonchalant reply.
"Oh dear God no. Pease tell me his is joking "I prayed silently.
"Ok take a seat Mr. Williams. There is one by Ms. Sanabria over in the back."
Oh no he is coming this way smiling. Does he even know how much he annoys me? He is way to cocky for me to even find attractive oh and look he is telling his little puppy to leave. That's cute. Wait that Guy must be his lover. I mean he never said anything about me in my underwear and he is always with that Guy. They are both from Denmark, it couldn't be more obvious that he was gay, he his way to good looking to be straight anyway. I relaxed a little realizing this because gay guys make me more comfortable, I have no idea why.
"Hello" he greeted me.
I had no reply but nodded my head in acknowledgment. I was comfortable, that didn't mean I liked him.
"Everyone introduces yourselves to the person sitting next to you because this will be your partner for the rest of the semester" the professor said out loud.
"Oh God I think I'm going to be sick" I stated. Wit oh my God did I just say that out loud. That's so rude.
"I'm sorry" I said apologetically. He just nodded his head
I think I hurt his feelings. I feel bad. The whole class professor knows a lot lectured. I noticed that Eddie wasn't taking notes so I knew that I would make a copy at the library and bring it to his dorm just to get off of thin ice with him. If we were going to be lab partner's things had to be civilized between us.
After all my classes were done, I literally ran to the library and made a copy of my three pages of notes. Now to the hard part, where the hell did Eddie live? I decided to stop at the dorm info desk. After another twenty minutes of walking I walked into the massive hall that was the universities home. All the windows where tinted giving the feeling of it being darkness all the time. The hall had a Gothic theme that made me think of Italy.
"Excuse me; I was wondering if you could tell me where Eddie Williams lives? I have notes for him but I forgot where he said his dorm was." I asked as politely as I could muster after running around like a lap dog for a Guy that annoys me to death.
"And he gave you this info already?" She asked.
"yeah but it was at 8:00 in the morning so I kind of forgot and I didn't write it down." I lied so smoothly I surprised myself. She willingly gave me his dorm room which was on the same floor as mine.
By the time I got to his dorm bit was nine at night and I just wanted to get home and study. I knocked on the brood timidly and his lover answered the door. I smiled and asked,
" is Eddie in?" He gave me no facial expression, opened the door wider and motioned me to come in.
The room seemed to be pretty neat, except for a corner of the room that was littered with old socks, soda cans, and cheese stains. Looking at that spot made me cringe, hopefully that wasn't how messy he was, because neatness is a great quality to have in a lab partner.
"Is there something that you need?" Eddie asked from the top bunk to the right of the room.
"Rude much?" I questioned, "I brought you this" I handed him my notes, "I noticed that you didn't take any in chem. Today, so consider this as a white flag, but don't expect notes ever again." I ended seriously with a threatening stare.
He didn't seem to notice my menacing look and he looked shocked, "thanks, but I thought you hated me?"
"Its not that I hate you, "I said looking rather uncomfortable "its just that you seem so stuck up and careless and I really don't like that. So basically I don't hate you I just dislike you."
He laughed at that and I gave a nod and let myself out, the last thing that I heard was a second thank you from him before I shut the door.
I can't believe that I did that. He must think I'm a complete psycho for finding where he lives, and then watching him not take notes. Will I even be able to face him tomorrow. I think yes, because I really don't care what he thinks and I'm going to have to spend a lot of time with him since I start work tomorrow too. I really don't know when he starts but knowing my luck its tomorrow too. I guess I should study for Shakespeare because truthfully I have no idea what the hell the crazy lunatic is talking about. Maybe Shakespeare and Eddie have something in common, they both are most likely gay.
