Take A Chance

"Sure," I mumbled. I opened the door and sat the stuff down by it. She followed suit.

"My name's Jess," she said putting her hand out to shake. I stared at it. She pulled it back and put it into her pocket. "Nice to meet you."

"Aaron," I responded simply opening a box.

"If you need any help with anything..."

"I'm not interested," I replied simply cutting her off. Her mouth slowly closed and opened again.

"Not interested in what? Getting help?"

"In you, idiot," I responded.

"Like I care, rich brat," she said slamming the door. I rolled my eyes before putting more stuff away.

"So you're my roommate?" a person asked as he opened the door. He had blond hair and dark blue eyes. A smile plastered to his face.

"Yeah," I responded.

"I'm Ben," he said putting his bags down.

"Aaron," I replied.

"Cool," he said.

"First day of classes!" Ben said happily.

"Great," I mumbled.

"I'm excited, aren't you?"

"No."

"You should be. You'll have four years of this," Ben responded seriously.

"Sadly," I responded to him. He shook his head side to side, and sighed.

"What classes are you taking?" he asked.

"I don't know," I replied honestly.

"You seriously don't know?" he asked. I grabbed my letter with the information in it.

"Math, music..." I sighed. "And english."

"I have math!" Ben said chearfully.

"I have english," I sighed.

"What's wrong with english?"

"I hate it. It's a bunch of sh** I don't need to know." He sighed rolling his eyes.

"Why are you going to college?" he asked.

"Because I'm being forced to by my parents."

"And they just happen to send you to this college? Do you have any idea the expectations they have for you when you sign up for this?"

"Huh?"

"This college is for you if you really want to get somewhere. It makes it so you have a ninety-nine percent chance of getting into any field you want," he explained.

"Whatever. I'm just doing this to get my money from my parents," I said shrugging and picking up my book bag.

"You have math first?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Let's go then," Ben said picking up his bag also.
