Aurmin sneezed, and looked around.
"According to what I've heard, someone must be talking about me. Hope there beautiful." He said to himself. Before he kept walking.
After arriving in his dorm room he collapsed on the floor, he called out all his roommate names but no one responded. He was alone here, yay!
"Once lazy, always lazy," he started crawling to the nearest couch. When he made it to the couch he got on it and slept.
...
"Aurmin, wake up. Hey! Wake u-," Mel was about to slap Aurmin but got kicked into a wall. Kane and Jimmy laughed at Mel. They warned him against attempting a slap, they had all tried before and were kicked. And the kick was really painful.
Aurmin rubbed his eyes and sat on the couch straight.
"What's up?" He asked still rubbing his eyes.
Mel got up as if nothing happened and sat next to Aurmin. They were two couches in this room. Two were occupied by Jim and Kane the other was now occupied by Mel and Aurmin.
It was dinner type, and her Aurmin was still sleeping.
"I was going to hand you your food but I won't," Mel got up and grabbed a plate of food from a the table. Kane and Jimmy were already eating. Mel was waking Aurmin for dinner but what did he get in return? A kick in the gut.
He sat back down and ate like a grumpy baby. Kane and Jimmy burst laughing, they told this guy. But why would the football captain listen to them?
Aurmin got up and grabbed his plat then took a sit. The guys started to fire disses at Mel. After they were done they sat back down again. Tomorrow was Thursday, they had to make plans for Friday.
"So Aurmin, Friday are you coming with?" Kane asked. He was the guy involved with more than fifty women at this university, he was a pro at what he did. So when he made a plan, ladies where guaranteed.
"Am in!" Of course jimmy was in, he was always in on whatever plan jimmy came up with.
"I see Aurmin answered," Aurmin joked. Mel and Kane laughed at the chubby dude who didn't want to put in effort but wanted girls.
"Shut up you guys, am not like any of you," jimmy said. Of course he wasn't like any of them. Non of them where sycophants or simps.
"Am as long as it doesn't exceed twenty people," Aurmin responded, he was an introvert. He was not scared of conversations but he avoided them. If not for these guys in this room he would have been a complete shut in.
"Am also in, but this time I won't be as cool as last time," he moved his glasses upwards in a cool way. This guy was cool but why did he where glasses if his sight was perfect? Did he want to be a nerd so bad?
"But where are we going?" Aurmin asked, he didn't want to be dragged along just anywhere. He had the right to know.
Kane took in a deep breath and said;
"Ladies and gentlemen, were going to a pool party."
Badump, badump. Mel felt his heart beating quickly. This was it the freedom of being in university! He pushed his glasses upwards again.
"Am willing to be your disciple." Jimmy was kneeling on the ground.
The guys burst out laughing again. They all got up and went on there beds. Before Aurmin could sleep. He heard his phone vibrate. He checked the message. He had received his money for the fight, 5000 kwacha.
A grin came on his face when he placed the phone on his bed, he received another message. The message read;
[ Tomorrow, come. The pay will amaze you ]
Aurmin read the message then deleted it. When he was about to put his phone. Another message came. But it wasn't from the same person, the number was unknown but strange. He read the message in inwardly;
"I miss you"
What the actual... Who was this person sending him such a message. Of course he got such message after a month or two weeks but who was this?
He typed a reply;
"Who's this?"
He waited for a few seconds and a response came. Was he reading the name right? He rubbed his eyes then read the message again;
[ Eveline ]
...
Eveline had finally gotten Aurmin's number, she wanted to deny it but she was just too honest even with herself. She had missed Aurmin. She rolled a few times on her bed, she convinced herself to send him a message. It was not like he was going to respond anyone. She quickly type 'i miss you' and sent it.
She wasn't expecting the reply to be this quick. She contemplated for four seconds on whether to reply or not. She was the one who engaged this conversation so she decided not to back out. She typed her name and then sent the message.
She waited for a while and a response came;
[ miss beautiful misses this goblin, am touched ]
She smiled before responding with;
[ if you're missed by me you're not a goblin. But it's true, you should be touched ]
She waited for his response and it came after a minute. When she read this her heart skipped a bit;
[ Am sleepy, good night. See you in your dreams ]
She read this and happily replied with;
[ Hope that doesn't happen ]
She put her phone on the table close to her head then pulled her blanket over her. She hoped she wouldn't dream of him, it would be too much for her.
...
Aurmin responded to her last message, saved her number and then put his phone aside. This chick was bent on invading his life. How dare she send him a message that warms his heart. He smiled, closed his eyes and started to imagine her looks and what it would be like if she was his girlfriend, it was a way to make yourself sleep, imagining till your brain got tired. Just like than his slowly drifted into sleep. His breathing evened slowly.
