Chapter 2

One early morning, Rose got off her bed, she went downstairs yawning ,still half asleep. She stopped as she saw a tall figure washing dishes, he placed the last dish as neatly and perfectly as the rest. He turned around. He a slender body, lean chest, good torso, not very well developed biceps but he looked strong enough. He had a round face.

"Umm..Coffee?" He lifted a cup and smiled a little.

She crossed her arms.

"And who are you?"

"Not a good way to greet your guests" He placed her coffee mug on the table.

He had a round face with blueish green eyes, a small nose, a broad upper lip, he wore piercings. Good complexion, perfect jawline and a blonde, of course, he was attractive.

"Don't worry I'm gay" He raised his hands.

"Get out!" She said smiling.

"Okay fine! My name's Adrian Atkins and I'm your new roommate" He took a seat. She stood surprised for a while.

"Coffee...." He looked at her.

"Hmm..How did they send your here or wait did you come here all by yourself?" She said placing herself on the couch. He walked up to her with her coffee mug.

"I have anxiety issues and I don't like girls and guys buzzing around me like bees. I like to be by myself. So, I did some research on you and gradually found you'd a perfect roommate" He smiled placing himself beside her.

"Hmm...taking the perfect coffee and the dishes into consideration, with all my heart. You are welcomed to Amityville" She smiled.

"Sweet!" He muttered.

"By the way, I will make us some sandwiches real quick, so go wash yourself up you have a lot of places to show me" He winked.

She smiled.

"Can I call you Rose if you don't mind?"

"Sure"

After a good breakfast both of then left for their college. Surprisingly, both of them were together in all the subjects except one, Rose had English while Adrian had Spanish but they still had enough time to be together.

"And that's how I shooed my boyfriend away" Adrian laughed. Rose laughed harder, almost falling off her chair. It was their lunch time they sat on the corner most table munching onto their breads. Though, Adrian was the centre of attraction today but he separated himself from the crowd to sit with Rose.

"Meet me near the basketball court and we'll see what to do" Said Rose picking up her bag.

"See you later then" Adrian said waving her a goodbye.

She smiled and left.

While Adrian was picking up his bag he noticed a guy staring at him, he didn't even look away for a second. It creeped him out and he left for his class.

"Hey Rose! Want to come over for movie tonight?" A friend of hers said as she was keeping her books in her locker.

"Not if Ton is invited" She replied.

"What is going on between you two?" Her friend almost shouted at her.

"Oh sorry Shirley. I am busy. Goodbye!" She smiled. Her friend left fuming.

"Damn! Where's my I-CARD!" She muttered.

"Found it!"

She closed her locker and a familiar figure appeared beside her from nowhere. Rose tried to pass by him with saying anything but is that ever possible?

"Hey Rose! I'm sorry about that day. I shouldn't have scared you" Ton said holding her hands.

"Have I mentioned that you're a big time jerk?" He pulled her hands away from his grip and walked away. She hurried to the basketball court but couldn't find Adrian. She put her hand in her pocket.

"Where's my phone?" She hurriedly checked all the pockets and her bag.

"Looking for something?"

"Ton, give it back to me!" Rose warned him. Ton slammed down her phone, breaking it into several tiny pieces.

"You were very fond of sending voice messages to my girlfriend right? " He laughed and kicked a piece far away.

"Oh Ton! Don't you think it's time for buying a new phone?" Said Adrian jumping upon Ton's phone. He had quietly snooped around what was going on, he tip toed to Ton and took out his phone from his jeans while signalling Rose to keep silent.

Adrian picked it up, dusting it a little.

"Now you can buy yourself a new one!" he said chuckling. He gave it to Ton.

"How dare you bony pants!" He grabbed Adrian's collar lifting him up in the air. Adrian wasn't yet aware of Ton's strength. He kicked and struggled.

"Please, don't hurt me. I'm sorry" Adrian looked straight into Ton's eyes. Ton scoffed.

He puts him down and walked off disgusted.
