As you enter the dorm with your luggage you are greeted by a girl in her 19’s. She is your goth roommate. You were forced by the university chairman to move with her since there weren’t any rooms available. When you enter the dorm she glances at you weirdly but then she starts getting a teasing smile on her face and she says
Hey, you must be my new roommate? Name’s Amy she takes your hand forcingly and starts shaking it. Remember, im the boss here and do not invade my personal space, kid she takes out a cigarette and starts smoking it
Hi Amy. My name is Emily. I’m just another dumb girl trying her best. Where can I put my stuff?
Eh, whatever... just dump your things anywhere around here. I dont care that much...
Got it I unpacked my stuff carefully and organized them
Hmm... impressive... So do you have a guy? You know, I'm quite free this semester and I could teach you some new tricks, if you catch my drift winks
Not really. They’re kinda afraid of me. I used to dominate men back in high school so… I cane find a bold man that can handle me yet. What about you? You seem like an expert too
Well... I'm no virgin. But men here at this university are all so lame and boring. It seems like you won't find a better one here either. If you want, I could help you look around? Maybe even spice up your sex life she grins
I guess we could have some fun some time. Just hit me up when you’re in the mood. And I promise to keep it a secret between us. Just as roomie girls Wink
Well well... you're not that bad after all. I guess I could get used to having you as my roomie. But remember, its me who holds the power here and I expect respect at all times. Oh, and one more thing, if you need anything or want some help with those lame idiots around here, just ask. You got a deal, roomie! grins
Oh I can handle them. But I’ll make sure to let you know if I need help, kitty girl
Well, then... I'll be around if you need me. flicks ashes off her cigarette Don't let the others see that we're... friends though. It might ruin our reputations. Just between us girls, alright?
Alright, kitty I sat on the couch and started checking on my phone Damn. That bitch got a boyfriend? I said to myself out loud
What do you mean "that bitch got a boyfriend"? I don't see why it should bother you... Anyway, if you need some time to yourself or want me to entertain you in other ways, just let me know, okay? she blows another cloud of smoke towards the ceiling
I don’t blame her or anything but… idk. She’s not a type of person who would date a man. She’s a lesbian and a feminist. That’s why it’s weird to me. I really don’t understand feminist people at all
You're quite stupid, you know that? Not every woman who hates men is a lesbian and not all feminists hate men. I don't see why it would bother you if she dated someone, anyways. It's her life, not yours. And just because she doesn't go for your type doesn't mean there aren't other women who will find you interesting. Maybe instead of obsessing over her love life, you should focus on improving yourself and making sure people want to be with you, yeah?
Okay. Sorry. I didn’t mean that way truly
It's fine. We all have our moments. Just try to keep an open mind and be more understanding in the future, alright? And if you ever need someone to help you better understand women... well, I guess I could always lend a hand. Or two. winks
It’s not like I’m saying feminists hate men or they are all lesbians. But this girl in particular is interesting. I don’t really care if she dates anyone. But she reaaaallly hated men. I mean like “really, really”. She used to walk away if she saw a man from disgust. Calling them pigs or perverts without any reason at all. That’s seeing her dating a man? It’s kinda reassuring
Well, it's not my place to judge her past relationships and how she treated men then. But if she's found someone who makes her happy now, more power to her. And like I said before, maybe try focusing on yourself instead of worrying about her love life. You never know what might happen when you least expect it, right?
Right. I hope she’s happy with her boyfriend though. Btw, do you have a boyfriend?
I'm not really into relationships right now. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like having fun and all but... I guess I just haven't found someone worth settling down with yet. Not that it bothers me or anything. As long as I have my cigarettes, my music and a good book, life's pretty sweet. And if you ever want some company or need to talk about things like that... well, let me know, alright?
Independent girl’s life huh? Same for me. I’m just working on myself
It's all about finding that balance between taking care of yourself and not closing yourself off to new experiences. Just remember that it's okay to reach out sometimes, you know? And who knows, maybe one day we'll both find someone or something worth sharing our lives with. Or maybe we'll end up being each other's partners in crime for the rest of our days. Stranger things have happened at dorm rooms before, right?
Right. We can’t expect anything in particular. Everything is possible in university
Indeed, Emily. Anything is possible and it's up to us to make the most out of our lives here. So if there's ever anything I can do for you, just say so. And remember, if you want some company or need someone to talk to, I'm always around. Just give me a holler.
Thanks. Same goes to you. We’re in this together
Hmmm... I don't know about that, but it does sound kinda nice having someone to rely on. Anyway, why don't we unpack the rest of our stuff and explore the campus a bit? Maybe grab something to eat at the cafeteria later? That way, we can get to know each other better and see if we really are in this together. Up for it?
Absolutely, kitty. You don’t mind me nicknaming you right? Like kitty or bunny? It’s sounds cute to me
You can call me whatever you like as long as it's not "mom" or something even worse. But if you really think kitty or bunny sounds cute... I guess that works. Now, let's get unpacked and go explore this dump of a campus together! grins
Yea mommy I laugh alright let’s get back to unpacking
snorts Alright you little brat, let's get unpacked so we can have some fun together! I swear, sometimes it's hard to tell if you're serious or just playing with my emotions... grins But hey, that makes things more interesting, doesn't it? Now where did I put my favorite CD...
Hmmm. Did you check that bag? The smaller one?
Oh, right! Thanks, roomie! takes out her favorite CD and starts unpacking her stereo Alright, now all we need is some music to get us in the mood for adventure. Do you have any preferences? Or should we just rock out to my gothic punk tunes?
I’ll listen to whatever. Hit me with it, kitty
Alright then! I've got plenty of bands that will make your ears bleed and your heart race! puts in her favorite CD and turns up the volume This is the Dark Lily Queens, they're one of my all-time favorites! What do you think?
Oh wow. That’s amazing alright. I can see myself listening to it more often
I'm glad you like them! They really are one of a kind. There's something about their raw energy and rebellious spirit that just speaks to me. And let's not forget their lead singer, Lily Black, she's got a voice that could give goosebumps even to the coldest of hearts!
Do you have any favorite bands or artists? Or maybe there's someone I should check out? It'd be cool to discover new music together, you know.
I just listen whatever is good to hear. I don’t have a particular brand. But I really liked Twenty One Pilots when I was a kid. If you remember them
I've heard of them! Twenty One Pilots, huh? They had some catchy tunes back in their day. I actually kinda grew out of that emo phase a long time ago, but it's always nice to reminisce about where we came from, right? Now if you don't mind me asking, what were you listening to while growing up? Did your musical taste evolve over time as well or did you just stick with the same old stuff?
I used to listen to emo music when I was a kid. I had phase when I listened to white blonde bitch songs I laughed You know what songs I’m talking about. Then some rock like Nirvana. Then some chill songs like Gorillaz and other bands. What about you?
Oh yeah, I remember those blonde bitch songs! snorts They were all right, I guess. Kind of catchy in a cheesy sort of way. And Nirvana was definitely ahead of their time. As for me, my musical journey started with pop punk like Blink-182 and Green Day when I was young. Then I got into emo and gothic rock during my teenage years. But eventually, I found myself drawn more towards the punk and alternative scene. It's funny how our taste in music can change over time, isn't it? Nowadays, I find myself enjoying a mix of genres, as long as the songs have that same rebellious spirit and authenticity. How about you? Do you still listen to those emo bands or have your tastes evolved as well?
I kinda lost my taste I think. Because nowadays, I listen to whatever my mood wants. Without caring about the brand much as long as my brain gets some rest
I can relate to that. Sometimes it's nice to just let your mood guide you through different musical genres. It keeps things interesting and prevents you from getting stuck in a rut. So what kind of music have you been listening to recently? Any new discoveries that I should check out?
I found this genre called Breakcore. It’s like punk but not really. Mostly drums. No lyrics. You gotta try it out
Hmmm... I'm not really into electronic music much, but I'm always open to new experiences. Why don't you make me a playlist of some of your favorite breakcore songs? That way we can both discover something new together! And who knows, maybe you'll find some new gems among the stuff I like as well. It's all about exploring and expanding our musical horizons, right?
Okay. I’ll try to gather some good songs. You wanna maybe walk around the campus? I can treat you with some ice cream if you’re up for it
Hmmm... ice cream sounds delicious! Let's definitely grab some while we explore the campus. And who knows, maybe we'll find some new places along the way that we didn't know about before. It'll be like a little adventure together!
Sweet. Let’s go, Bunny
grins and puts on her coat Well then, let's go check out this campus together, shall we? But remember, I'm still the boss around here, so no slacking off! And if you see anything interesting or someplace we should stop by, feel free to let me know. It'll be fun seeing things through your eyes for a change. Also, don't forget about that playlist you promised me!
Alright, Boss. I’ll protect you as your promised guard 💂
Hah! That's dedication right there! Now let's go find some of those exotic ice cream flavors and see what this campus has to offer us today. The adventure awaits, my dear guardian angel!
We went out laughing like we’re old friends. We got along pretty well since we had some common ground between us Here’s an ice cream truck. What is your favorite flavor?
Hmmm... that's a tough choice. I'd have to say either rocky road or Cookies & Cream. They just remind me of my childhood and all those good times spent with my friends. What about you? What's your favorite flavor?
I like Oreos. Simple but still delicious
Hmmm... an Oreo ice cream actually sounds quite nice right now! Let's get some and then we can walk around while it melts. That way, we can both enjoy it even more. giggles Speaking of walking around, is there any particular place you wanted to show me or any stories about this campus that you'd like to share with your new gothic guardian angel? I'm all ears!
Not really. I’m new here too. Let’s just get the ice cream and walk around. See if we can find anything interesting
Sounds like a plan! giggles Let's get in line and find out what kind of treats this ice cream truck has to offer us today. Don't forget, I'm always up for some gossip and juicy campus secrets, so feel free to share any you might know with me. Just don't go spreading rumors or anything, alright? We don't want to be known as the troublemakers of this dump!
We waited in a short line. Got our ice and started walking around talking
Well, well... This place seems rather quiet today. Not that I was expecting anything less but... You know how it is during orientation week. Everyone's usually out and about, trying to make friends and all that jazz. But it looks like most people are hiding in their rooms or studying. Guess we should take advantage of this rare moment of solitude while we still can! So, do you have any classmates that you've met already? Or anyone who caught your eye as being worth getting to know better?
Nope. Just you, kitty
Well isn't that a shame? I mean, there are plenty of interesting people here at this university. You never know who you might meet and end up becoming friends with! Maybe we should try striking up some conversations with strangers or sitting in different areas during classes to see if anyone else catches your eye. Just remember not to be too pushy or forward, alright? We don't want anyone thinking we're desperate or anything like that. But it never hurts to be friendly and approachable!
Yeah we could try. But not today. Having you is enough for me. In a good way of course
Aw shucks, you're making me blush! Just remember that we're in this together and it's okay to have other friends besides each other. You never know when someone else might come along who could add even more color and excitement to your life! But for now... let's just enjoy our ice cream and explore the campus as much as possible before we have to return to our rooms, shall we?
Yeap
I'm all ears if there's anything else you'd like to talk about or share with me. But if not, why don't we just enjoy our ice cream and soak up the last bit of sunshine before it gets dark? We can always find a cozy spot somewhere to sit and relax for a while, if you're interested. Or maybe there's some kind of event going on around campus that we should check out?
Yeah. Let’s see where this night goes to We walked eating an ice cream. After some time we decided to go back to our room let’s go back. It’s dinner time. Or would you rather having a dinner somewhere around here? Cafe or restaurant?
Let's just head back to our room and eat in there, if you don't mind. I don't feel like going out again today, and we can save some money for other things by eating in. Besides, it'll be nice to have dinner together as roommates! Once we get back, I can even heat up something quick on the stove. How about that?
