After hearing that loud crash and a voice screaming in pain, everything was quiet. I kept my eyes on the bedroom dorm and I slowly started walking over to it, my heart pounding in my chest. I wasn't exactly sure what was going to be on the other side of the door, but I knew I had to take a chance right this moment. I could very well be faced with an upperclassman that is out to prank the freshmeat or someone who's in danger. Either way, my life would change forever.

Once I finally reached the door, I rested my hand on the door knob and slowly as ever, turned the door knob, opening the door. As soon as I opened the door wide enough, a male that looks to be my age came spilling out all on the floor with his belongings. I blinked my eyes, a little confused before finally having the voice to speak up.

"Um...are you okay? Do you need any help?" I softly asked.

There was no responce and then suddenly, the male jumped right up and stared at me straight in the eyes. Then he smiled softly and proceeded to brush himself off before holding his hand out to me.

"Hi! I'm Alen! I guess we're roommates!" The male finally spoke.

He had a soft, energetic voice and I quickly caught a hint of feminism in it too which is what most gay guys have. Though, he didn't look feminine. My eyes slowly scanned his skinny body from head to toe. He was wearing black converse with acid washed skinny jeans that had holes in them, a black t-shirt that said, IF DARYL DIES, WE RIOT and it had Daryl from The Walking Dead's face on it, a Kingdom Hearts necklace and rainbow colored bracelets on his arms. The left side of his head was completely shaved while the right side had his bangs partly covering his right eye and he had rainbow streaks all over his bangs. He definitely looked more punk to me than anything else.

After realizing that I've been keeping him standing there with his hand held out, I quickly took it and shook it.

"Um...Nice to meet you. I'm Simon." I said then I briefly looked back at his shirt before looking at him again.

"So...you like Daryl?" I asked, releasing his hand.

Alen suddenly gasped and he clasped his hands together over his chest.

"Yes! I love him so much!" He said, happily then he sighed, dreamily.

"I want to marry him so much~"

Though, his dream state didn't last very long because he quickly looked back at me and continued to talk.

"Do you like him?"

I shrugged. "I don't really watch TV much so...But I've heard about him." I said, nodding as I rubbed the back of my neck.

"Oh. Okay."

Alen seemed a little disappointed, but he quickly smiled and started bringing his stuff in.

"Oh! Do you need any help?" I said, quickly offering my services.

"That'll be great! Thanks!"

...

After we finished bringing his stuff in and after Alen unpacked his stuff, the room looked more lively and lived in which made me happy.

"So, have you looked around campus yet?" Alen asked, breaking the silence.

I shook my head.

"Not yet. You want to look around?"

Alen smiled brightly and nodded.

"Let's gooooo~"

Me and Alen started walking around the whole campus, checking out the classes we'll both be taking and the different buildings that UAH had to offer. Finally, we finished looking around and decided to check out the student lounge last.

"So, you're majoring in Writing? You want to be a Writer? Or more importantly, an Author?" Alen asked as we both slowly walked to the student lounge.

"Mmm not exactly. My dream isn't really to be an Author. I guess...I guess part of me likes to write is all. What about you?"

"Well, I love art and photography so I'm wanting to major in both and hopefully I can become a professional artist or photographer~"

I nodded then checked the time on my phone. It was already almost twelve and I haven't heard anything from Nathan. I started to become a little worried.

"Ah! We're here!" Alen suddenly shouted then he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the building.

...

Once we walked into the student lounge, there were a handful of students socializing on the couch, chairs and standing up beside the walls. I slowly looked around the room until my eyes caught a familar figure.

Could it be?, I thought. I hoped I wasn't wrong.

I walked right up to the guy and tapped him on the shoulder and right then and there, it seemed like the world slowly stopped. The guy slowly turned around and when he laid his eyes on me, he smiled brightly.

"Nathan..."

"Hey, my cute fella~" He said then he pulled me into a hug.

I immediately hugged him back. It felt like we haven't seen each other in forever even though we just saw each other last week. We eventually pulled away from each other and shared a kiss before I remembered Alen was with me.

"I want you to meet my roommate. This is Alen. Alen, this is my boyfriend, Nathan."

Nathan held his hand out to Alen, but Alen quickly gasped and clasped his hands over his mouth, his eyes widening.

"Oh my goooooosh. YOU. HAVE. A. BOYFRIEND?!" He asked, staring at me.

"Um...yeah. We went to high school togeth-"

"OMG. OMG. OMG. IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU, NATHAN!" Alen said happily, grabbing Nathan's hand and shaking it excitedly.

Nathan chuckled before pulling his hand away.

"Looks like we have a fan~" He teased.

I rolled my eyes and smirked.

"Anyways, why are you so surprised I have a boyfriend?" I asked Alen.

"Oh." Alen said, quickly calming down.

"It's just...well...I'm jealous. I wish I had a cute boyfriend from high school." He said then he suddenly sighed and pouted.

"But, alas, nobody can keep up with me..."

"What do you mean by that?" Nathan asked, chuckling.

"Well, the only person I've ever dated, broke my heart by cheating on me. He was my first love too..."

Suddenly, I felt my stomach drop and my heart grow cold. Hearing that Alen had a first love that broke his heart reminded me of the time when I confessed my love to Nathan and he stopped talking to me for a week. Imagine if Nathan went off and started hooking up with someone else or...

All of a sudden, I felt someone grab my hand and squeeze it. I looked up to see it was Nathan. He smiled softly at me which melted my worries away.

"Anyways, I'm happy you two are together. You're sooooo cute~"

I softly blushed and rolled my eyes.

"Attention everybody!" A male voice suddenly shouted, breaking the noise of students talking in the room.

All eyes were turned on him. The guy was pretty handsome and he looked like he had a fit body. He had brown hair and green eyes with deep dimples that you can clearly see whenever he smiles. He's currently wearing a button up blue plaid shirt with red skinny jeans.

"Oh my glob." Alen suddenly whispered.

I looked over at him to see his eyes glued to the guy and his mouth nearly dropped open.

"As you may know, next week is Rush week for all the Fraternities and Sororities. If any of you lovely gents and ladies would like to participate in Rushing then come on by the courtyard for more info on the different Fraternities and Sororities here. If any of you guys see something you like, attend the parties which will be held the very next day then afterwards, invitations will be sent out and you guys will get to see which Fraternity or Sorority liked you. If you guys don't know me yet, my name is Cristopher Lee and I'm the owner of the Fraternity Gamma Phi Gamma. If anybody is interested in joining Gamma, come to Rush week for more info. That is all."

The guy named Cristopher ended his speech and started walking away. As he was heading out, I watched as Alen stood silent, completely in awe at watching Cristopher and then when Cristopher was about to pass us, he stopped, briefly looked at Alen's shirt and smiled.

"Cool shirt." He complimented before continuing to walk away.

Suddenly, Alen collapsed onto me, taking a deep breath.

"Oh...my...glob. He...he's...he's..."

"Let it out." I urged him as I held onto him, making sure he doesn't fall.

"He's gorgeous!" He exclaimed and then he quickly looked me into my eyes.

"I HAVE to join his Fraternity! Simon, come rush with me pleeeeeeeeeeease?"

"I..." I was speechless. I've never thought about rushing for any Fraternity, but it was hard to decline Alen since he wouldn't stop giving me the puppy dog eyes.

Finally, I sighed and nodded.

"I...I guess I can try rushing..."

"YIPPIE! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I owe you!" He shouted and then hugged me tightly.

I glanced over at Nathan, wanting his help.

"You should rush. I would love to see you in a Fraternity~" He teased.

I rolled my eyes at his teasing. "What about you?" I tested.

Nathan shrugged.

"I might try it too. It could be fun~" He said, grinning.

I nodded. "Then it's a deal. We'll both Rush next week."
