She poked her head in through the door, grinning, "So you are here," stepping inside, she crossed her arms, "I knew you were lame."

"Why wouldn't I be here?" I sat down on my bed and patted my pillow, "Anyways, I have a few things to get done."

"Like what?" She smirked, "What needs to happen in your dorm?"

"Like getting read fo-"

"For what?" She looked away, her eyes still focused on me, "Or who?"

"I'm getting to that. Wait, what do you mean, who?"

"I dunno, nevermind. Anway," she gripped my arm, "Let's gooo! Kiyoteru is gonna be our math teacher!"
"Oh that guy that looked like a brunet Leon?"

"Who's Leon?"

"My roommate."

"Oh. Okay. No threat then." She muttered under her breath.

"What?"

"Nothing. Nothing." She waved her arm in the air, dismissing her own words, "But this is Ki-yo-ter-u" She emphasized every syllable, like she was savoring their sounds in her mouth.

"But I thought he was going to a concert?"

"No, I think he was going to an interview…" She pursed her lips, "But then why was he in his rocker garb? This is a mystery!" She clasped her hands together, "C'mon I can be Daphne and you can be Freddy!" Grabbing my arm once again, she pulled me off the bed.

"Umm, Gumi, no!" I lifted her hand off my sweater, "Classes start on Monday! I have to prepare! And why are you talking to me so much? You barely know me!"

"Oh I know what's up. You don't have "Scooby Doo" in Canada, right?" She punched her fist in the air, "We gotta fix that."

I sighed, "Gumi…"

'Go go Power Rangers!'

Pressing a finger to my lips, she pulled out a bright green iPhone from her pocket, "Shh for a second, can you?"

Confused, I nodded.

"Oh hai! This is Gumi! Yes? Alright! See you! Kisses! Bai!" She ended the call and slipped it pack into her sweatshirt, "Okay, I have to go."

"Anything wrong?"

"No! Not at all!" Adjusting the goggles on her head she skipped out the door, "You can come with!"

"Thanks, but no."

"Suit yourself."

I waited until her footsteps faded away, and then lay down on my bed. It was a bit chilly in the dorm, the building had been made over half a century ago, and the rooms were beginning to get drafty. I threw my penguin –themed fuzzy blanket over my shoulders, the hem fell at around my knees.

"Isn't that guy a little young to be a teacher?" I whispered to the ceiling.

"Yeah, I agree." A strong scent of roses suffocated the air, "Allen,"

"Please, call me Al, Leon."

"Alright, Al."

"How did it go with Kiyoteru?"

"Terrible. It was the worst possible thing!" I propped myself up on my elbow to see his face, "I was so embarrassed! My ivory cheeks were red as the rose that I hold by my heart!"

Drama queen.

"And that's not the worst of it!" He began to pace around the room, "My sweet Ann saw the entire thing!"

"What exactly happened? And who is this Ann?"

"Well the entire college is named after her bloodline of course! And for your first question, I would rather not answer."

Right, I knew that the great-granddaughter of the founder was her age…I had no idea she actually attended here.

"Well, If you don't want to say anything, it's alright." I returned to my spot on the bed.

"Augh! Stop drilling me! I'll say it! I'll say it!" I popped right back up, "Well, he wasn't going to a concert, it was an interview. For his job." He plopped down to his usual position on his chair, and leaned over his knee, "Apparently, he's a math professor."

"And you followed him into the meeting room?"

"Yes."

"Figures. And why was this Ann character there?"

"Don't call my darling, sweet, Ann a character! Don't even try to bring her down to your level!"

"Huh?"

"Her golden hair, her voice, smooth as silk. Oh my Ann!"

"Is she your romantic interest?"

"Well she's mine yes."

"How long have you known her."

"I believe it's almost been a half hour."

"Leon!" I groaned, Why am I the one who has to give the romantic advice! , "You haven't even known her for an hour?"

"No! But it was love at first sight!"

I get a feeling this is going to happen often, "What am I going to do with you?"

"What else?" He extended his arms, "Hug me of course!"

"Why?"

"It's the easiest way to comfort someone."

"I don't hug that well."

"But you look like a giant teddy bear! C'mon! Give Daddy Leon a hug!"

"No."

He hugged me anyway.

"Stop!" I brushed him off like a fly on my shoulder.

"Now didn't that feel nice?"

"Not really."

"Someone's a grumpy bear." Suddenly, his hand collided with his cheek, "OH no! I have to reapply my lip balm!"

"You just did that!"

"So?"

"You're a lost case."

"No. you my friend, are the lost case."

"Flippp where's my laptop!?"

"I don't know where is it?'

Ignoring the blond narcissist, I dug through my luggage, "Nnnno."

"Something bad happen?"

I lost it. I don't know where. But I lost it!

"The only place where it could be is the airport…"

"The airport! But there are a lot of people at the airport!"

"Exactly." I sulked, "So it's probably long gone."

"Don't lose hope!"

"But it's my laptop!"

I felt a soft vibrating in my pocket.

Oh good! Maybe…maybe!

"What the-"
