Black and White

Chapter 1: Hi Friend

I was walking through the University's pavements maintaining a fast pace so that I would be able to settle down in my dorm immediately. I was occasionally spreading my eyes through the place and admiring it.

While I was walking a girl appeared infront of me who was smaller than me. She had black hair and black eyes.

I was looking at her mouth it was moving, muttering something I couldn't understand. Then, I remembered I had my air pods on, so I removed them. I smiled at her and said hello.

"Excuse me, Do you know where I could find this?" She said showing me a figure from her map.

"Sorry but I am also new here." I told her having no avail to help her

She nodded and said goodbye. I continued to find my dorm. Good thing there was a map placed in the university's grounds. I traced the location I need through the map.

The Univesity was really big. No wonder it was the best in the country.

I found it.

It was located in the the group of dorms in the left wing of the university. All the rooms in that dorm building has only a maximum of two boarders, but that's no problem the dorm building has more than 70 rooms.

Once I entered the building an excited atmosphere surrounded me. There were people everywhere. They seem as excited as I am.

I climbed the stairs to the third floor. It was damn tiring. I looked at the text my mom sent me, I scrolled and looked for the number of the room I was to stay in. After seeing it I walked a few more meters until I found it.

I plunged the key into the keyhole and after a few turns it opened. The room was still empty. "My roommate hasn't arrived yet" I thought. The room had Two beds, each had two little tables with drawers beside it.

Basically, all the things in the room were for two persons. Two study tables, two closets, and two groups of cabinets each for me and my future roommate.

I checked the bathroom. It made me feel as if this wasn't a dorm. It was more like a hotel. Based on its furnishings, tiles that look costly.

The bathroom has a toilet, of course, and a shower in the left side. It has a blurry glass as its barricade, as well as the bath tub in the right side. I swore in amusement.

I only brought the important things first. I asked my parents to bring other things as soon as I get settled.

I dialed the number of my mom. The phone rang for some intervals before she picked up.

"How's everything going?" She started

"I'm already here. My roomie hasn't arrived yet" I told her

"You better fix your things, and tell us if you need something. We'll give it ASAP"

"Okay Mom. I'll call you back"

I started with my bed. I brought the bedsheet out of my Trolley, including the pillows. I slipped the sheet on to my bed, and the pillows came after.

I also spread the thick blanket through the bed and tucked the ends of it into the bottom of the mattress. I decided not to put the comforter yet since it was was quite hot.

I placed the remainder of my things in their proper places. It consisted of setting out the clothes I have while putting it in the closet's drawers, putting my toiletries in a container and putting it in one of the two cabinets in the bathroom.

Satisfied with what I did, I decided to take a nap after leaving a message for my parents.

I was tired so I easily slept. My eyes were closed when I heard the door open. I might've as well imagined it. I continued my rest while dreaming about how fun will this year be.

3 hours later...

I hear occasional sounds across the room so I decided to wake up. I sat straight in my bed. I was waiting for my mind to register back to normal, since I just woke up and I was groggy from my nap.

I gazed across the room and saw my roommate already here and he was fixing his things. He might be the one who entered while I was sleeping.

I went to the bathroom, I thought it was rude not being able to say "hi" but I couldn't do anything about it. We don't know each other yet.

My roommate was facing back from me so I only saw a little of his complexion.

His hair was colored brown, and from the way his back looked he has a well-built figure. He would probably be the guy you would entitle "dont mess around with"

I glanced at my phone and looked at the time; it was already 3:00 pm. I arrived in the university at 8 am. I might've slept a while ago at 12.

I gargled water and washed my face with soap and water. I wiped my face and went back to the room. He was still fixing his things. I stared at him for a little bit and went outside.

I planned to go explore a little bit so I walked through the hallways of the 3rd floor and to the stairs down to the ground floor.

When I reached the ground floor it was empty as well as the lobby, not like in the morning buzzing with boarders. I consulted another map in the lobby and decided to mark where I'd explore. I was currently here in the

Boy's dormitory and a place worth exploring would be the Garden, and it was only a few steps away.

I strolled out of the lobby and into the vastness of the outside of Greenfield State University. Man, the ambiance was just screaming "FUN". I reached the Garden and students were there, sitting in the benches, taking pictures, chatting with their newly-made friends. I continued my wandering through the garden hoping I would be able to make friends.

I walked past student after student and every now and then I see some looking at me, and me being the Mr. Nice guy would smile back at them. Well, I was used to that kind of attention even when I was till in Junior high. It made no differen-

"Ow," someone tumbled down after I hit them, "Please look at where you're goi-," she added but stopped, with wide eyes, she squealed "Carter Freeman!"

"Yes?" I said in confusion.

"Dumb*ss, it's me Cassey!" She explained

"Cassey?" Having no avail to understand where the conversation is leading to.

"Cassey Lawrence, Seatmate from Junior High!" She said freshening up my memory.

"Oh Sh*t" I let out a soft chuckle, "Of all people I'd bump to" I teased sarcastically.

I helped her up and noticed a lot of people looking at us, I looked at Cassey and she laughed it off. We continued chatting and talked about the why's, what's, and how's of both our lives.

"Why'd you study here?" She asked

"I guess, I just want something new. An adventure to experience, perhaps" I explained though not sure, "How about you?" I added.

"My choice. I had planned it already before, just waited for my parent's approval" she grinned showing those pearly whites and that remarkable smile.

"It's getting late, I better get going to the Girl's dorm"

We bid each other goodbye and separated ways.

While walking back to my dorm, I was wondering why I never really got to know Cassey back in Junior High, and she was my Seatmate. It was a mistake taking her presence lightly back then, because I mostly befriend the famous girls before.

Cassey wasn't the type of girl who would dress to impress, she was simple, she was also smart and really good. No wonder just by her presence you would feel guilty because you are with an innocent person.

I opened the door to our room but my roommate was not there fixing his things anymore. I was wondering where he was. I sat down the study table and texted my parents I told them that everything was going fine and I really enjoyed my first day here.

My stomach grumbled as if to say "hooman! Am hungry feed me now"

While I was about to go down I noticed an Elevator and smiled in disbelief. All this time there is an elevator and I spent more than 50 steps going down.

I reached the lobby and looked at the map to see if there was a fast-food restaurant near the University where I could take my dinner, it was already 7 pm. But I grunted distastefully because the nearest was far.

I consulted the lady in the information booth in the lobby.

"Excuse me ma'am, is there anywhere I that sells food here?" I asked her

"Yes sir, actually there is a cafeteria here inside the dorm building. Just go straight ahead and then you'll see it there. Thank you sir, have a good meal"

I smiled at her and went to the place. I opened the door and the busy buzz of the cafeteria welcomed me. The place was so alive. The cafeteria was huge. I went to get the food I wanted. I took a seat in an empty table and started to eat through my meal.

"Can I take a seat here?" A guy came over who I thought was also new here.

"Sure" I told him.

He smiled and was a warm type of person. I think he would be an awesome friend.

"By the way, I am Kyle" he told me breaking the ice

"I am Carter."

"You're new here, aren't you?"

I smiled and said yes. "How about you? I returned the question.

"I'm a Grade 12"

"Ah, I thought your Grade 11. You look young for a grade 12 though"

"They say that" He said with a chuckle.

I was glad I gave him the satisfaction when I complemented him and partly amazed at how our conversation went casually.

After eating I said goodbye and went upstairs. The room wasn't locked so I knocked before entering. My roommate give me a stare while I made my way inside the room. I just gave him a smile and closed the door behind me. He was busy with something in his computer so I decided not to disturb him. I took off my clothes until I was only wearing a Boxer brief on. I put the the used clothes in my laundry basket and prepared to go and wash up. My half naked body made its way to the bathroom. My Roommate was busy with something so I just went through.

Well I could say he's facially gifted, just like I am. So I guessed we could probably have the same likes and dislikes and we could become friends.

I opened the shower.

The water caressed my naked body until water drenched me and the little rivulets were searching its way through my body. The water went through my head, to my neck, to my well built chest, to my arms, to my Boxer brief, to the inside of it, and until my sole. It was satisfying to take up shower after a long day.

I got this well-built body because I got to the gym at weekends. My body wasn't really that buff yet but you couldn't also say I am thin.

I turned the shower off and the sound ceased. It was quiet, only the drips from my body as it touched the floor was audible. I grabbed my towel and dried myself. I went up to the lavabo to brush and do my hygiene routine. When I got to my Bed. My roommate was already preparing for his turn to wash up.

I changed into sleeveless shirt and shorts and prepared to sleep. My eyes were closed when the door to the bathroom opened. I opened my eyes a little and saw that my room mate was done, to my surprise HE WASN'T EVEN COVERING HIS "FRIEND". It was dangling as he strolled casually to the his side of the room. He placed the towel in a chair exposing his muscular body and continued changing. He stripped on a shirt and shorts as well.

I can't believe I'm peaking at another guy with half-closed eyes. I'm dead if he noticed and worse, he might mistake me as a pervert. It was new to me though and it was weird, coz I wasn't like that. I turned my back behind him and pretended to snore, to support the fact that he thinks I'm sleeping. My last memory of last night was when he turned off the lights of the room and me drifting to sleep.
