Well new chapter. I'm sorry if it seems too short, but i do want us to get to some action soon so cut me some slack


Jeremy had slowed as he approached his room, he could hear the commotion and knew immediately that things we're being moved. Suddenly he heard a voice.

"Could you please wait until I meet my roommate first!? I really don't want to get off on the wrong foot by having his room transformed before I even meet him!"

"Sorry kid." Came another voice, "But I've got a schedule and I need to stick to it. You'll just have to work things out with your roommate when he gets here. Maybe you could offer him the use of some of your appliances as a peace offering."

'Appliances?' Jeremy thought. He edged towards the door and peeked inside. A man was fitting a bed along the half of the room opposite Jeremy's bed. As he looked around, Jeremy noticed that there were indeed household appliances present. A minifridge, a microwave, and even a mini stove were lined up along the wall past the bed. His computer had been moved, but not so much that it would compromise his use of it. The posters and pictures on the walls had thankfully not been taken off. He also saw a dresser with a lamp and miniradio behind the bed, as opposed to the other appliances which were in front. Between the dresser and the bed was a small litter box. It seemed to be one of those self-cleaning models. 'Thank God!' Jeremy thought. For all his worries, not too much of his stuff had been tampered with.

Now he spied the boy who would be his roommate. He was about Ulrich's height and his build seemed lithe and strong at the same time. His hair was jet-black and done up in a short ponytail, he was wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt with the words "Magical Dream" on the back. On his shoulder sat a diminutive white cat with a small pearl collar around its neck.

As Jeremy's eyes rested on it, it turned its head and caught sight of him. The cat gave short meow, indicating to its owner that he had company. "Oh no..." Jeremy heard the boy whisper. As he turned Jeremy took note that he moved like one who was expecting to get flogged.

The boy's complexion was somewhat pleasant, unlike some faces like the pimpled up one of Herb's. His eyes were blue, as were his cat's and he wore a sheepish grin.

"Hello." He said nervously, "You must be my roommate, my name is Zain, Zain Rivers, and it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm sorry about the room; I hope nothing valuable was misplaced."

'Well' thought Jeremy 'He is considerate, and I really can't argue with the school's decision, well not without blowing our cover anyway. I guess I'm just going to have to find a way to work with him around.'

"Nice to meet you Zain, my name is Jeremy, Jeremy Belpois, and don't worry, there's nothing that can't be worked around. I was worried, but to be honest the room doesn't seem all that different aside from the fact that it's divided between two sides. Tell you what…let me use some of that cool stuff you have from time to time and we'll call it even?"

"Sure!" Zain beamed. Jeremy heard the man putting in the bed chuckle. He could just hear his thought process, 'can I call it or can I call it?'

Now Jeremy turned to the cat, "And who is this?" He asked.

"Oh this is Pixie." Zain answered, "She's a new breed, recently discovered, they don't even know what to call her kind yet. My Dad bought her for quite a bundle, but we haven't looked back. She's like a little sister to me."

Pixie gave a little meow, and Jeremy reached out and began stroking behind her tiny ears, eliciting a faint purr, and felt her lightly lick his hand.

"My, she certainly warmed up to you pretty quick; guess she knows a good guy when she sees one!" Zain exclaimed.

Just then, they heard the man finish fitting the bed, "Well, you're all set up. You two get along, okay?" he said as he got ready to leave.

"Oh I think we'll get along fine." Jeremy said with a grin. "Ditto!" said Zain.

As the man left Jeremy turned back to Zain, "Well if we're going to be rooming together, then you should meet my friends. They should be by the vending machines around this time. C'mon!"

With that, Jeremy went off, with Zain in toe, to introduce him to his friends.


Introductions are a must regrettably. WAHHH! I WANT ACTION!!
