Getting back onto campus, Mickey stopped the car and turned to me with a weird look on his face. "What?" I asked with a small laugh, freaked out a little

"Nothing, it's just..." Mickey started before shaking his head and scratching his ear as a pink hue subtly came over his face.

"Tell me," I insisted as I put my hand on his arm at his reluctance and his eyes looked down at where my hand lay for a moment before glancing back up at me with a smile.

"I feel like I've known you for more than one day." I smiled at his words, knowing I felt the same. It was weird how I made friends with Cici and Mickey so quickly.

Why was I letting people in? were my walls coming down?

I looked up to see him looking embarrassed and probably mortified by my silence. "It's because I'm cool," I told him jokingly, making his face brighten.

"Oh no, I've done it now," he whispered back, shaking his head with a grin on his face. "I've given her a big head," he playfully muttered, knowing I could hear him.

My jaw dropped as he got out of the car laughing at my expression, "Hey!" I called, grabbing the bag of junk food as I ran out of the car and jumped on his back, making him yell and grab my legs to keep me from falling.

"What are you, some kind of spider monkey?" Mickey asked sarcastically but never let go of me; in fact, he held on tighter than before.

"Spider Monkey? Did you get that from the discovery channel?" I laughed in jest, smiling when I felt a rumble through Mickey's back as he laughed too.

"God, you're something else," He told me over his shoulder as he carried me through the campus where we got some weird look, but neither of us cared.

This is the happiest I had been in years. I wasn't going to ruin it because people couldn't mind their own businesses.

Mickey soon walked us both into a building, which wasn't easy considering we both tried to keep the heavy door open, and I was still on his back.

"That was not easy," I laughed as Mickey walked down a hall filled with doors.

"Try being the packhorse," Mickey joked, he didn't seem like he was even effected by my weight on him, but I still knew I had to mess with him. that seemed to be the basis of our new friendship.

"Are you calling me fat?" I question him pretending to sound upset, waiting for his reaction.

"NO," he shouted before he saw me laughing. "Oh god, you got me again," he sighed with a chuckle as we stopped at a blue door.

Dropping me to my feet, I smiled as Mickey looked at me before unlocking his door and opening it to show a group of 3 boys all shouting at the TV. They hadn't even noticed us.

Mickey walked into the room while I leaned against the door frame "Mickey!" they all shouted jokingly and started to roughhouse until they saw me at the door.

The boys all suddenly stood up straight, acting like they hadn't been messing around. "Hey, I'm Kat," I say, giving a small awkward wave as one of the boys walks up to me.

"Hey, Kat, I'm Jason, Mickey's roommate," Jason told me with a weird voice like he was trying to be suave. "So are you and Mickey?.." Jason asked, pointing between Mickey and me, insinuation clear in his voice.

I just smiled and pointed between him and his two friends. "Are you guys?..." Mickey belted out a laugh at my sarcasm as Jason's face dropped, and his friends began to protest to me

"No way, Kat, believe me, I'm ladies, man," Jason tried again, giving me a flirty smile, which I realized wasn't as nice as he probably thought it was. I was suddenly thinking about how my new friend's smile was better.

My eyes drifted over to Mickey, who looked annoyed but quickly changed when he was me looking, "a ladies man, huh?" I question as Jason nods and winks back at his friends who cheered him on like typical college boys

"You know your ass must be pretty jealous of all the shit that comes out of your mouth," I tell him with a broad smile when his friends being to laugh and push him.

Jason nods and smiles at me. "Your alright, Kat," he complimented as he and the other boys begin to walk over to the door.

"We'll be at the Phi Lambda Alpha house party, can't wait to see the pledges squeal!" Jason shouted excitedly as the other boys cheered and ran out of the room.

I just looked at Mickey with my eyebrows raised as Mickey half laughed "he's not usually..." Mickey started until he saw my amused expression. "I can't lie. He's always like that," I laughed as Mickey threw his hands up, exasperated.

Belting out a laugh, I began to look around his dorm room while he got the movie all set up, I noticed his side of the room was a lot tidy than Jason's, but after meeting him, I can't say I'm shocked.

I smiled seeing all Mickey's horror memorabilia but frown when I didn't notice any family pictures, not that I had any in my dorm either. It was like half Wiccan and then half bare.

Maybe my two years in nothing but a white room ruined my decor skills?

"What ya looking at?" Mickey asked close to my ear, making me jump and smirk, knowing he got me back for earlier. I gave him a playful glare before turning again.

"No family pictures?" I question seeing his eyes roam around the walls like he was thinking.

"Yeah, no, I don't have any siblings, and my parents are a little..." Mickey trailed off before giving me a small smile, "...absent."

I nodded slowly, feeling bad for asking him but also feeling like I could relate to him more "sorry," I muttered as I sat down on his bed before I had time to think about Maureen.

"Don't be sorry, I'm not," Mickey replied with a weird look on his face.

"Right. so.. plot holes" Mickey laughs nervously when we're caught in silence just looking at each other. I nod my head with a smile passing him the candy bag.

"Yeah, right. So pen, paper?" I ask as he quickly hands me a notepad from a draw under the bed.

I give Mickey a smile as the movie begins to start. "Oh wait," he mutters as he gets up and turns the light off and the lamp next to his bed on before grinning at me "horror films have to be watched in the dark."

I chuckled and nodded before opening my candy up and making myself comfortable while shoving popcorn in my mouth. "I love the classics," Mickey mutters to me with a mouthful of candy.

Laughing softly, I smirked with a slight grimace "beautiful."

Mickey swallowed the mouthful before giving me a big grin "finally, I've been telling people this was my best look," he joked, making me giggle as I turn back to the film, noticing we had missed the first part of the film.

"Oh, that has to be one!" I shouted as we watched Micheal steal a car from a nurse and taking off with it.

"carjacking is a plot hole," Mickey snorted as he looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

I gave him a small glare before answering him, motioning to the tv, "No, if Micheal's been locked up since he was a kid, how does he know how to drive?"

Same, Michael, same.

Mickey gave me a surprised look and laughed. "I've never thought of that" I smiled brightly as I wrote it down as Mickey continued to look at me "it's so cool to meet a girl who likes horrors as much as I do," he complimented as I smiled brightly and looked back to the TV.

After we had finished finding all the plot holes, I sat up and looked at the clock on Mickey's bedside table. "Damn, it's getting late," I muttered as Mickey picked up another movie.

"Just one more?" He asked, trying to tempt me, shaking another horror movie at me as I bit my lip enticed. I could stay here all night and watch horror movies and still want more.

"Do you know what you're getting yourself into?" I questioned Mickey with a raised eyebrow. I was the queen of horror movie watching; not even Billy and Stu could keep up with me.

Mickey smirked at me, put the video in the player, and sat back with me as I gazed at him, expecting an answer. "The question is Kat, do you?".
