Preston's POV

It didn't take too long to bring all of Flores's stuff up to his room. It only took another hour for him to unpack and put his stuff away. By the time Elijah and Flores were officially moved into their rooms, the three of us sat around in the sitting room on the couches, chatting away as if we knew each other for a long time, even if it's only been a couple of hours.

Even if we've only met, they were pretty laid-back guys, and I enjoyed talking to them. It was honestly refreshing to meet new people, and just from our interactions, I could tell that I was going to enjoy being roommates with them for my first year here.

"So, you play guitar? That's awesome. I actually like the drums. Are you thinking of maybe doing a music minor or something?" Flores said, leaning back against the couch, legs perched up on the coffee table. Elijah was sitting on one of the chairs, legs hanging over the arm of the chair, while I sat beside Flores on the couch, facing him.

"Yeah, actually. I was thinking about adding a music minor," I nodded my head, "what are you two majoring in any way?"

"I'm in biomed," Flores replied.

"Mathematical Science," Elijah butted in after Flores, "I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do with the degree, but I just kinda like math. I also dabble in a little bit of guitar, so. I guess we're all a couple of music geeks."

"Well, I mean...we are all part of the music house," Flores chuckled.

Elijah hummed, "touché."

I laughed, shaking my head. Music House was part of the Living Learning Communities we had, which ultimately brings students together through similar interests. Each house is located at a different residence building, and the music house just so happens to be located in Elizabeth Hall. There were roughly around fifty students who were part of the music house; me, Flores, Elijah, and our other two roommates who weren't here yet are part of it as well. It's the main reason we were all roomed together.

Speaking of our other two roommates, the front door opened suddenly while the three of us were talking, two girls wandering into the townhouse while chatting amongst themselves. Flores and Elijah looked over at them, just as I did, watching as the two girls walked further into the place before their eyes caught sight of the three of us sitting around in the living room.

"Oh, seems as the rest of our roommates have finally moved in," One of the girls spoke up. She was a king. The two of them were kings, actually. Her hair was long, reaching half of her back in tight, dark brown curls, while her skin was a warm sepia colour. Her brown eyes looked at us in curiosity and amusement. The girl beside her smiled.

"Hello, boys," The other girl greeted me with a distinct French accent. Her hair was pastel pink that faded light brown roots, her skin was a light sandy colour, and her eyes were a deep green. I smiled at her in greeting.

"Hello, girls," Elijah greeted with a laugh, "you guys have already moved in?"

"Yeah, we moved in yesterday, actually," The first girl replied, then walked over as she held her hand out to Elijah, "I'm Blaire," she said, then gestured to the girl with pink hair besides her, "and that's Primrose."

"Nice to meet you both, I'm Elijah," Elijah grinned at them, shaking Blaire's hand before gesturing to Flores and me, "blondie over there is Flores, and then that's Preston."

"Nice to meet you all," Primrose said with a smile, "mind if we join you?"

"Not at all," I replied. Primrose and Blaire didn't hesitate to join the three of us, Blaire sitting on the couch with Flores and me while Primrose sat in the other chair across from Elijah.

The five of us ended up chatting and laughing nonstop for the next couple of hours. We all told stories about each other, from our childhood and high school. Flores even brought up the fact that he had a partner, who had moved into their dorm at Faith University this morning, which was funny to me considering that's the school Adrien is going to. He was supposed to have moved in this afternoon.

"Your partner goes to Faith? My best friend goes there as well. He should have just moved in this afternoon," I told him.

"Really? What a coincidence," Flores laughed, "perhaps they'll run into each other."

"Yeah, maybe," I laughed, "I can ask him about it later when I get the chance."

"Well...I don't know about you guys," Elijah spoke up then, sitting up straighter on the chair, "but I'm starving, and uh, we have no food."

"There's a family restaurant about a ten-minute bus ride from campus," Blaire stated, "why don't we go check it out? They have pizza there."

"That sounds like a great idea!" Primrose agreed.

"I'm in. I could use a pizza," I laughed. Flores agreed.

"Perfect!" Blaire cheered, "let's go then!"

The five of us jumped up from our seats, grabbed our bags and wallets before we were out the door.

We all headed to the bus station that was located at the University Center. Once we got there, we all double-checked which bus to get on, before getting onto the correct bus, showing our student cards to the driver, as we had a free bus pass.

The bus ride didn't take long. As Blaire said, it only took about ten minutes. So when the bus pulled up to our stop, we all thanked the bus driver before stepping out of the bus.

We all followed Blaire down the sidewalk before we came up to the family diner. When we stepped inside the restaurant, the place was buzzing with people. The restaurant was a diner on the left side, and on the right side, there was a sports bar.

We were greeted by the hostess at the podium, and it didn't take long before we were guided by a waitress to an empty booth in the corner of the restaurant. Once we were seated, she gave us our menus, and filled our glasses of water, before walking off.

"Ugh, everything looks good," Elijah groaned from beside me, as he flipped through the menu, "I have no idea what I should get."

"Why don't we just order a large pizza and split it between all five of us?" Primrose suggested, "and we can each get our own sides."

"Yeah, that's not a bad idea," Flores agreed. Primrose smiled, and when she glanced at the rest of us, we all nodded our heads in agreement.

When the waitress came back to take our orders, Blaire ordered the large pizza for all of us, and then we each ordered our sides and drinks. During the time the waitress came back with our drinks, the five of us chatted amongst ourselves while we waited for our pizza and sides to be ready. We all compared schedules, to see if we had any classes together considering we were all science majors. I ended up noticing that I had a couple of classes with Flores and Blaire, and calculus with Elijah and Primrose.

Once our food arrived, Elijah was first to dive into the pizza, stealing a couple of slices. Overall dinner at the restaurant was a blast, and I had a great time with my new roommates. It was like the five of us just meshed together, like we have been friends for ages. It brought a smile to my face.

Yeah. I would enjoy it here.
