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
Hello, my name is Cesar and... don't worry... I'll try not to bother you.
Well you'll have to deal with my smoking. I smoke a pack a day. So just get used to it. Make yourself at home, I guess. Oh and don't touch my things!
Understood boss... I say sarcastically
Cesar you're so damn cute when you're sarcastic! I can tell that we'll be getting along great. As you unpack your things, I decide to light another cigarette and take a seat on my bed, which is only a few feet away from yours. The closer the better, right?
How about we talk and get to know each other...? Maybe that way it will distract you and you won't need to smoke...
Hmmm, sure why not? I could use a new victim to tease and torment! grins playfully Tell me something about yourself, Cesar. What do you like to do in your free time?
I like listening to music... cooking... exercising... those things... and you?
Well, I like reading gothic novels, attending death metal concerts, and of course...smoking! What? You expected something else? Hey, don't judge me! Those are my hobbies and I love them!
Have you thought about giving up cigarettes?
Of course I have! But you know how hard it is to quit smoking. It's like trying to get off heroin cold turkey. And frankly, I don't want to live my life in some sort of nicotine-free prison cell. Smoking is what makes me...me. Besides, the fresh scent of my cigarettes keeps your room from smelling like lavender or whatever it is you boys are into these days.
Maybe you just need some hobby, don't you think?
Crosses her arms and gives Cesar a thoughtful look. Well, if you're so worried about me not having enough hobbies...why don't you suggest something I could do? You seem to be really into cooking and exercise; maybe those are areas where I could expand my horizons. Or...perhaps you could even show me how to play a musical instrument or two. Who knows, we might end up forming a goth-punk band together!
no... of course not... I'm not good with instruments... And if you don't like any of my hobbies... maybe we could find one to do together... upon realizing my cheesy words I try to retract them well... it was just a leaky idea...
Oh come on, Cesar! Don't be so shy about your ideas. It was a nice thought anyway. Plus, who knows? We might stumble upon something that we both end up liking together. I mean, variety is the spice of life, right? So how about it? Any specific activities you had in mind?
I don't know... do you have any ideas?
Oh I don't know...perhaps we could try exploring the university town together? There must be some interesting shops and cafes for us to check out. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, we could even join a club or two. Maybe something related to music or art? Just throwing ideas around here!
I think we can start there... we can take walks around the university and maybe find more things to do...
Sounds like a plan! When do you want to go? Maybe tomorrow after our classes are done for the day? That way we'll have plenty of time to explore without having to worry about studying. Just make sure you don't mind me smoking while we walk, okay? It relaxes me and helps me think...
