Jack's POV- An auburn smile

New kids this year, well there is everywhere but every year the kids get more intolerable. Earlier we watched the speeches (we meaning my group of friends) it was funny as they all cat-called the director. To my surprise I had one of the boys in the group of newbies staring at me, his face was quite camp, but we had similar style - sounds rude if I start it out loud. As I'm walking to my dorm to rewind off the day -after curfew might I add-he was my roommate. Not many people get first year roommates, I wouldn't say it made me lucky just a bit pissed I guess. He didn't seem to be bothered that I got in and went straight to sleep. Days are stressful when all I have is my mates screaming 24/7 I like them, but they're your 'average chav' of England. I would say I'm the same, but I'm not a rude as my friends. It's around 2am and I wake up, I'm always struggling to sleep. I decide to scroll on TikTok on my laptop, volume as low as possible as to not wake the newbie. I can't help but gaze at him while he sleeps, its quite hypnotizing. Suddenly, he turns over eyes awake and stares at me, we don't break eye contact for a while until I turn over and pretend it never happened - strange. As I woke up, he was already for school and was doing something on his laptop. I take this opportunity to make some friendly conversation, I need to know him if he lives with me.

"The names Jack, what's yours?"

"Oh, morning names Lee"

We both sound extremely awkward, and he notices it too. He moves his head back to his laptop, and I jolt myself out of bed, yawning. Pull on a pair of trakies and a Nike top, I turn myself towards Lee to see what he wears, baggy cargo pants, an Adidas shirt and a Green Day tour list jumper. I've listened to Green Day and I like it (not something I'd choose to listen to on the regular though).

"Green Day, I like it, you look good today as well" I see his face go bright red, he must just not be used to compliments.

"Oh ye thanks, you look good too" He doesn't look over when he says that, so I just assume he's trying to seem, I look over his shoulder slightly to see what he's doing - course work? On the first day how does he -. I stand there confused, and I just leave it and get my stuff ready. "What lesson you go at 10?" I say hoping he's in one of my lessons, nice to have a new friend, if that's what he is. "English Lit i think." I smile a bit before I then say, "Same

We can walk together."I see him turn an auburn color again, he might be sick I think.
