She swung around. "Who-" before she was able to finish her sentence, She was tackled down to the ground. Pinned and startled, the country looked up at the offender only to see a hispanic girl, who was smiling sadistically overtop of her. Her long curly hair, tickled Jessica's face as she proceeded to hound her with questions.
"Hi! Are you new? I heard you were coming! What's your name? What's your country? Who's your roommate?" she asked at surprising speed, not even bothering to let her answer.
"How old are you? Are You-"
"JUANITA!" someone exclaimed, cutting her off and startling Jessica as well. "STOP ANTAGONIZING THE POOR GIRL!"
A girl stepped into view, black thick hair billowing down her back. Her tan skin was light but now white, her eyes were big, warm, and brown. She grabbed the girl on top of her, who was obviously called Juanita, and threw her against the wall, sending a loud boom echoing the hallways.
Jessica let her mouth hang open as she scrambled to her feet to go help Juanita. To her surprise, the country was laughing as she got up and brushed herself off and skipping away.
"Are you-" Jessica started.
"She's fine," said the girl. she turned towards Jessica, smiling and held out her hand. "I'm Cesa! Nice to meet you! I represent the Philippines. And you are?"
"Me? Oh right! I'm so sorry! How impolite of me! I'm Jessica, representation of Argentina." She replied, cheerfully shaking the other's hand, smiling as well.
"I apologize for Juanita there. She's so hyper I swear she could outrun a cheetah."
Jessica smiled. "Oh don't worry about it, I was just startled. By the way, I need help getting to my dorm, do you mind taking a look and helping me out? "
Cesa smiled. "Of course! Let me take a look at your schedule!
Jessica handed the kind country her schedule. She looks at it and smiles. "Good news! I have all but two classes with you! I'm in your first hour as well! This is going to be great!"
She jumped up and down excitedly and then stopped. "Uh oh," she said, looking closer at your paper.
Jessica gulped. "W-what do you mean uh-oh? Is something wrong?"
Cesa looked at her apologetically. "You get the dorm room 707. The only problem is that you get the last dorm room, which means you get to room with the problem child. I'm so sorry Jessica. C'mon, I'll walk you to your room."
Jessica picked up her bags as Cesa led her out of the girls dorm section. She walked all the way past the boy's dorms too.
Where are we going? Jessica asked herself as they Cesa finally stopped at the end of an empty hallway.
"Here we are!" said Cesa somewhat cheerfully. Before Jessica could say anything, Cesa had run off.
Hmm, Jessica thought. I wonder who this so-called problem child is?
She knocked on the door before opening it. The room was neat and tidy with two matching beds, two identical dressers, lamps and two desks, each on the opposite sides of the room . She noticed that one side of the bed was wrinkled and slept in so she made her way to the opposite side of the room. She started to unpack her stuff when she heard someone turn on water, in what was apparently the bathroom.
She must be taking a shower, Jessica said to herself.
After she unpacked all of her stuff, she heard the water stop.
"I'll Give her some privacy," Jessica mummbled out loud. She started to get up and walk out when she crashed to the ground.
"Ow. . ." Jessica moaned, she looked up only to see Lovino on top of her. He stared down at her with big browns eyes and a red face.
Realizing what was happening, Jessica began to blush. Lovino stared at her some more and leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips.
The kiss was quick, but it was enough for Jessica to black out.
Jessica woke up under soft blankets and and a wet cloth over her head. She turned around and rolled out of the bed.
"Huh?" she mumbled as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She looked up and saw Lovino laying on his bed reading. Jessica stood up and calmly walked over to the country and punched him in the face.
"Why the heck are you in my room?" She shouted at him.
"Ow! Fuck! How should I know?" He replied, holding his already swollen cheek. "This is my room! I was told I was getting a roommate, but I wouldn't have guessed it would have been you! God! Way to thank me for helping you out!"
Jessica's mind flashed back to the incident and punched the country again. "You better tell me what's going on right now! I want to know right now why you freaking even kissed me! That was out of line!"
Lovino threw his hands up in the air in surrender and backed up against the wall. "I talked to the head master and he said that this was the last available room so you had to stay here. It seemed like he didn't even seem to care so I guess you're just stuck with me"
"Then why in hell did you think it was okay that you kiss me?" Jessica huffed, folding her arms and glaring down onto Lovino.
Lovino turned red and covered his face with his large hands. "Umm. . . .It's a weird condition I have. ." he mumbled.
"Huh? What condition?" Jessica asked curiously, plopping down on the floor in front of his bed like a puppy dog.
"This condition. . .," he started. "When I get too hot, my personality changed into someone more. . . passionate."
Jessica just sat there. Suddenly, she started to laugh, startling Lovino.
"Wh-What's so funny?" he stammered, turning redder than before.
She doubled over laughing hard. "It's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde!" she giggled, wiping away tears.
Lovino sighed and sat back in his bed. As soon as Jessica stopped laughing, she got up and walked over to her bed.
"Well never mind all that," Jessica said, climbing into her bed. "Just don't get into my things and don't walk into the bathroom when the door is closed and I'm in there."
Lovino nodded. "Sure thing," he said. "Same rules apply to you of course," he started, but when he looked over, Jessica had already fallen asleep.
