Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Taking a deep breath I opened the door...

The it was a tall dark figure, hovering over my doorframe "hello?" I question moving turn on the light, but before I could turn it on, the dark figure collapsed into my dorm, the only thing going through my head at that point was what the fuck, in a state of panic I rushed to this person aid, dragging them into my dorm, they turned out to be a man, with a jawline that resembled that of a Roman god, he was well built but I couldn't drool over this stranger, I put my hand to his forehead as his body was laid out on my floor, he's burning up with what little strength I had, I pulled him up and laid him on my bed, I didn't really have much furniture in my room which was more of an apartment than a room I got a bathroom a kitchen and a living room, anyway I stood there staring at this stranger in my bed I went to my bathroom got a face cloth before getting a bowl of cold water from my kitchen. I dunked the facecloth in the bowl and wrung it out this should bring his temperature down.

As I set the cloth on his forehead he grabbed my arm, and with a weak voice he said "Hi" I smiled to myself he just passed out and here he was saying hi like everything was alright.

I piled a chair from the kitchen and sat beside him changing the cloth on his head from time to time.

"Hey, Hey" someone shook me awake, memories of the previous night flooded my mind, I shot up to see how the stranger was.

"Hi, who are you?" I asked "I am Andreas, who are you?" Andreas said "I'm Amaya, I know this is weird but you kind of passed out on my doorstep yesterday, you alright?" I asked "yes sorry about that and thank you for the help" he said.

After awhile we just sat there in an awkward silence, "soooo, are you from around here I don't think I have seen you before?" I became tense, "no, I just recently moved, I've been here for a couple weeks now still getting to know the lay of the land" Andreas answered, "really?, from where?" I interrogated "nowhere in general I like to move around but I decided to see how much good college could do for me" a bit mysterious but that's ok.

We spent the day talking and didn't even realise how long we had been there for.

Andreas seemed like a nice guy and all but there was something about him that felt out of place, not mundane so to say.

"If you don't mind me asking, why were you at my doorstep yesterday" I questioned

"Well I recently got evicted from my home because I couldn't afford the first rent, and so I have been walking around knocking on doors to see who would help"

He explained with a heavy sigh, on instinct, I wrapped my arms around him, "I'm so sorry", I didn't know why I was apologising but it felt right at the moment.

"Now i know this may be dumb, but you can stay here if you want, since the school owns the place and it was part of my tuition fees you don't have to worry about rent" I said while pulling away from him "are you sure?, I don't want you to give up your personal space for a stranger" Andreas said "it's okay trust me."

Over the next months Andreas and I became really close and enjoyed each other's company since I had most of my classes online I was usually cooped up in the apartment but when I didn't I was out and about with Andreas, but I still couldn't shake the feeling that he was hiding something.
