When I finally woke up the next morning I was on the floor. A pretty typical spot to sleep on I guess. I sat up and groaned. The frozen peas I used the night before were beside me completely thawed and room temperature. I stretched my legs and arms groaning in the process.

Thankfully I didn’t have any classes today so I could just veg and let my face heal. I touched my forehead and winced.

Nope still hurts, I thought mentally slapping myself for thinking it wouldn’t.

I heard a groan come from the other side of the room.

“Shit! I forgot he was here.” I said face palming then wincing again. “Dumbass” I said to myself. Man I’m being a real moron today.

“Are you just going to stay on the floor all day or are you go to get up?” He asked and I looked up at him. My breath was literally taken out of my lungs and thrown away.

He was hawt! Like an athlete and an emo had a kid. He was built but not to bulky and had black hair with emerald green tips. He had mossy green eyes that really popped because of his hair. He had a really defined jaw. Jaws like that should be illegal no dudes that look like him should be illegal. He made me feel self conscious just looking at him.

I cleared my throat and got up off the floor. My everything hurt, but mostly my face.

“So how do you feel?” My roommate asked.

“Awful. Thankfully I don’t have class today so I can just lay in bed all day and veg out.” I said putting the peas back in the freezer.

“Well I guess we can spend some quality time together then because I also don’t have class.” He said sitting up and rubbing his face.

“Listen…. Uh, what was your name again?” I asked as my face flushed from embarrassment. Did he tell me his name? I don’t think so.

“My name is Sam and I didn’t tell you my name last night if you’re trying to figure that out.” He said standing up and walking to the bathroom. I got one the lucky dorms that had an actual bathroom with a shower in it so I didn’t even have to shower in the public bathroom.

“Okay Sam I’m Max.” I said trying to fix my unruly hair. “I need a haircut.” I said as I fumbled with the strands. “Oh fuck it!” I said and put it in a small ponytail as few strands falling out.

“Wow your hair really is long.” Sam said after he left the bathroom. I just rolled my eyes.

“Well with what I was saying earlier, I’m not a very friendly person and I don’t like the whole ‘getting to know you’ speech. I couldn’t give two shits about what your life was like before college or who your friends were. I just want to be able to finish college without having any problems so lets just keep our distance.” I said moving past him to brush my teeth.

“Are you always a dick?” He asked scoffing

No. “Yes” I said looking in the mirror and staring how despicable I’ve become. “I already told you I’m not friendly.” I looked away from the mirror and left the bathroom.

I grabbed a bag of chips off of the floor and got on my bed preparing myself for a good ‘ol anime binge. I opened my laptop, plugged in my earbuds and went to Netflix.

I wasn’t really in the mood for something serious so I went to a series I’ve already watched before….Naruto and pressed play.

“So you really are just going to ignore me the whole time.” Sam said and threw up his arms. He left in with a huff and slammed the door.

I paused the episode, hearing voices outside of the door.

“Damn you got roomed with the fag?” Some guy asked

“That must suck ass.” Another said

“Has he hit on you yet?” Yet another guy said. I still didn’t hear Sam say anything and I figured he probably just agreed with them.

“Homophobes” I mumbled as I tried to tune back into my show.

“He really is disgusting isn’t he?” The first guy said loudly. Now I knew they were doing it on purpose.

“Guys just shut it.” Sam said and I heard their voices fade away. Wow so Sam is friends with a bunch of homophobes. None of his friends are allowed in this room whether I’m here or not. I thought making the rule in my head.
