LESSONS AND NIGHTMARES PART 2

The room was painted in peach which seems a bit surprising to Fina and there were paintings on the walls. Chandeliers hung on the ceilings adding more to the beauty of the room. The glass windows were oval shaped and the peach curtains were already drawn up.

It was the Living room, Fina realized as she looked at the round spacious room.

There was a glass fireplace and all the furniture were made of glass.

She opened the bathroom door. All glass too but not the type of glass which can make you trip. None of the glass looked slippery. 

There was a long wide mirror in the bathroom and sinks stood magnificently in the air. Two golden water closets. A golden bath tub and a big shower with numerous shower heads.

Then, she moved to the last door which she thought might be the bedroom.

The bedroom was extremely spacious with a large bed in the middle. There were two dressing mirrors and a large desk situated beside the window.

Fina flinched when she heard the door to what must be the closet opened and a tall, thin girl stepped out.

"Hi. Um…You must be my roommate. I am Zora Alvarez."

Zora was wearing a very big glass on her face that seems to cover almost half of her face. She has long blond hair with violet eyes and brown eyebrows.

"Fina Clark. Nice to meet you" Fina said

"Um… I just joined today and um…this is embarrassing."

She blushed so deep Fina thought she might reduced to ashes.

Apparently, her roommate is extremely shy.

"I joined today too. I mean just now. You can talk to me freely. We are of the same age and also roommates."

Zora looked at Fina and avert her gaze at once.

"Um… this is new to me. I haven't been close to people this way before. I mean…You understand"

"I…don't." Fina said and checked out the room again. "This is nice"

"Do you like cheese burgers?" Zora blurted out.

Fina eyes widened as she looked back at her.

"Did I make a mistake?"

Fina cleared her throat.

"No. Not at all. I am just…not that sociable either."

Zora looked relieved.

"I thought you are like the girls I met downstairs"

"Let me guess? The red head and her gang?"

Zora shivered.

"They are mean and scary" She said

"Why would you think I am like them?"

Zora bit her lower lip.

"You are so pretty. Pretty people tend to be…um rude. Snobbish"

"Not all of them. I will settle in first" Fina said

"Oh! I'm sorry. I will go watch some TV before taking a nap. Lessons start tomorrow" Zora said as she adjusted her glasses.

"What about food?" Fina asked

"I have some bread and peanut butter with me if you don't mind. I just don't want to go down for now. Everything is still strange and new to me after being away from people for weeks." Zora stopped when Fina look confused.

"Sorry. Old habits die hard. I will be in the living room. There is peanut butter and bread and coke…I mean water!" Zora said and turned crimson. "Bye. I mean…next room. See ya!" She said and flew out of the room.

Fina stood frozen for a while before she blinked and begin to arrange her stuffs.

It was almost afternoon when she walked out of the room after organizing her stuffs.

Zora was on the peach sofa watching TV with her legs crossed Indian style. She kept biting her left nails repeatedly and adjusting her blond hair anytime it fell in front of her face.

"You are watching Godzilla?" Fina asked as she moved to sit beside her.

Zora just stared at the flat TV on the wall in front of her.

"I like the movie." Fina said 

"Me too. I like comedy films the most. But if you like something else, not Godzilla, we can watch anything you like"

"Zora. I like you. You are my roommate and I want to get to know you better but if you keep getting nervous we won't get anywhere with it." Fina said

"I'm sorry. It's hard for me being with so many people at once. Like the foyer."

"Did something happen to you to make you ….I'm just asking."

Zora looked at Fina since she entered the living room and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Wow. You look beautiful"
