Chapter 4: Roommate
After few protests from her stomach, Cream took Ella to a nice restaurant. After that, she walked her to where the dorms were located.
There were six blocks in total, three for the girls and three for the boys. The one for the boys was at the opposite direction.
Ella's room was at block 3, while Cream's was at block 1. After a little chat, the girls waved each other goodbye even though they had a lot to talk about.
Ella had to rest and Cream had classes in the morning.
Ella hadn't expected her room to be this unique. Dark blue walls, two large beds arranged neatly with..ahh, her favorite, Naruto bedsheets. Anime pics on each side of the wall. You know how cute anime males were...
Was this how the school designed it?
Ella's stuff had already been sent to her room beforehand, Cream's doing.
One thing Ella noticed was that her roommate was also a first year student just like her and also studied the same major because the same books she needed were neatly arranged at one side of the reading table and a clean laptop beside them.
Wow... different comic books and wow, a sketch book.
Yeah, Ella opened the sketch book to reveal different amazing drawings of different anime characters. The answer to the question she had asked herself, it wasn't the school's doing, it seemed like her roommate was an Otaku
Hell, she loved this roommate already. Opening this roommate's closet, Ella found countless hoddies with anime designs, baggy shirts with anime designs, baggy shorts, baggy pants, countless sneakers.
Damn, was she a tomboy?
Or maybe she was obsessed with anime...
She'll surely ask Cream tomorrow if she knew anything about her roommate.
....
After a nice shower, Ella also arranged her stuff, similar to her roommate's. The only difference was their clothes, Ella was a sweet sweet, girly girl.
She had the urge to wait for this mysterious roommate but how dare she try to fight sleep....
NEXT MORNING
Sleep was truly amazing, Ella felt new. She wasn't supposed to be used to this new room but damn, they (roommate) had the same taste. Nothing felt new.
Checking the time on her phone, she realized she had actually slept till noon, wow, when did that start. And there were various messages and missed calls from her parents, brother and Whitney and Cream.
First thing she did was call her mother, assuring her she arrived safely, loved her new environment and was fine. After listening to another round of crazy things she shouldn't do, she hung up.
Then she called her brother who picked up after the third ring.
Lee: dumbass
Ella rolled her eyes while brushing her teeth
Lee: don't tell me you called with the intention to not say anything
Still no answer. Ella reignsed her mouth, wiped it with a clean towel before she spoke.
"Did you know that dad owned half of the shares and uncle J is the so called duke?" She asked
Lee: I'm not shocked
He knew, she was the only one kept in the dark.
That explains it, her dad would never let her out of his sight but had allowed her come to HOPE
Lee: that's nothing to worry about, just enjoy your stay there and don't forget what I told you..
What did he tell her?
Lee: Avoid the opposite gender, do not be the reason why someone's precious son lost his penis.
Ella couldn't help but laugh at his seriousness
"I heard you bro... love ya"
Lee: ewww... gross
Beep! Beep!
Seriously, Lee was one crazy soul she'd never stop loving.
There was no need to text or call Whitney since Lee would definitely tell her, the two were always together. Ella made a mental note to text her later though. After taking a shower she replied Cream who asked if they should order the food or go to a nice place.
'Anything, your choice'
Cream replied immediately 'I'm heading towards your dorm'
Ella rearranged her bed before going online for any news. Her roommate hadn't returned.
....
"Your room isn't bad" came Cream's voice, they were both currently sitting on Ella's bed, eating.
"Swrs, I love it" Ella marveled
"If only the school would let me design my room my way and leave me with just one roommate instead of three" cream sighed "oh money, I'll get ya"
Ella couldn't help but chuckle at her friends childish behavior
