Vampire Roommate

First Day Accepted

  “Congratulations,” the principal spoke with a cheerful aura. “You’ve been accepted into the Imperium university.”

Sonnia's heart radiated warmth, beaming as if rainbows encircled around her being, after hearing of the highly anticipated response she's been waiting for—like forever.

She lurched from her seat in front of the principal and bowed gracefully, causing the side of her midnight hair to dangle at her right shoulder, with her hands glued to the side. “Thank you very much for accepting me...even though I’m already a week late from the registration deadline.”

“No, thank you, we’re so glad to have you here, it’s never too late to accept a scholar student,” the principal replied, as he slid some white sheets of paper in front of the oaken desk. “Here are your schedule list, your locker number, course descriptions, and dorm.”

“Dorm...?”

“Yes, you’ll have your room with another student here at our campus, however, since you did register late, we’ll have you dorm with one spare room, one with an opposite gender, unfortunately, you wouldn’t mind that, would you?”

She shook her head hastily, lifting herself up gracefully. “Ah no, that’s quite alright, I’m sure I can manage, I’m just so grateful to accept whatever works at this time, especially since I did arrive late, thanks again, truly.”

The next day, the principal gave her a personal tour around the large campus of the top university of the country. She hummed a nod in approval on each of the designated places shown to her. But, what stuck to her mind the most was her dorm. Knowing full well of her roommate as a male. She wondered if that was even legal, or approved. She shrugged lightly at her own thoughts, knowing full well that everyone in this university takes their studies with the utmost priority, given the decision of enabling of her to even dorm with the opposite gender.

She had hoped to have a fun, cheery, and calm female to room with since she did daydream at times where she would have movie nights, sleepovers, eating sprees, or even study nights, if necessary. But now that the tables have turned, she wondered if this roommate of hers would possibly be welcoming, or even...comfortable to be around.

The best thing she could do now is to hope for the best.

She finally arrived at the front door of the dorm. Her violet, glossy luggage was placed at the side, with her hand atop of the handle. She glanced around, spotting a large distance away from the next dorm room as she placed her hand on her hip, atop of her black, leathery jacket.

“...Huh, must be a large dorm for each paired roommates,” she mused, tapping on her chin inquisitively.

She fished out her student card and tapped on the scanner beside the door. Immediately, a green light beamed from the side with a ding sound emitting below the device. A click sound of the door indicated it was unlocked.

She slowly turned the knob open, allowing the light emitted outside to bask the dark place. As she strolled in with her luggage, the automatic lighting turned on, revealing the most luxurious dorm room she has ever seen in her entire life.

She glanced around the place, it looked like it was already occupied—as expected. There were some dirty socks lying on the floor and other messy items scattered around the area, but other than that, she couldn’t help but be at awe at the height and beauty of this place. It seemed to be built in a modernly architectural fashion, with the ceiling that could fit five grown men if stacked together. The glistening light of the sun shown through the large wall window screen of the dorm, revealing where all the light was coming from, revealing the endless forest trees behind the university. This place is definitely luxurious and expensive, which brought relief to her when she got in through scholarship.

Her vision trailed from the nice cushioned, coloured sofas then towards the staircase that led up to a large bedroom. Then, her eyes flickered down towards the mini-kitchen underneath, not realizing that there were clanging sounds found from the kitchen.

“...Hello?” she called out, as she pulled her luggage and landed it beside the staircase.

She glanced to and fro for signs of life, but found nobody there. You went closer to the kitchen, eyes filled with wonder. She grasped in the beautiful, modern architecture of the mini-kitchen with all its appliances available and slowly glided her fingers atop of the glossy, sparkly marble countertops before circling around the area. Until, she noticed a little creature at the corner eating something.

“Awee—!” She gushed, as she crouched down to the small grey kitten. “So cute!”

She began to slowly pet the soft grey fur of the kitten, the furry creature glanced at her innocently with a pair of heterochromatic eyes of emerald green and sea blue. Her eyes slightly widened at that, since she hasn't encountered a cats with a different set of eye colour before. It was certainly majestic, gleaming in all its glory with the light illuminating from above.

The little cat purred, slowly licking herfingers, causing tingles to course through her nerves at the cute experience. She then stood up from her spot to make her way back to her luggage, to hopefully unpack her items upstairs. But, the cat kept on following her , which she didn’t mind, since she thought it was rather cute.

She slowly but, surely lifted the heavy suitcase one step at a time, until she made it all the way to the top. The cutest part was when the cat took one step with her, and stayed at the particular step she was at, until she reached another step. Almost like a little companion to watch her panting efforts of her little race to the top.

”Agh, finally,” she let out, with a loud sigh in relief.

She felt her back droop heavy, as she spotted two large queen sized beds on each side of the room. There was also a large encased window at the front, showcasing the beautiful scenery of forest trees and the distancing city, with a hazy, rainy atmosphere of the grey clouds. The left side of the room seemed occupied, while the other side was also occupied.

”Hm...are there already two people living in here?” She murmured to herself, before the cat made a meow sound and began to curl around her feet.

“Awe, so adorable,” she commented at the kitten’s gesture, before she knelt down and slowly embraced the kitten around her arms. “...Maybe I should check in with the student living in here...”

“Excuse me?” A deep, masculine voice spoke. “What are you doing here?”

Her heart froze, unexpected to suddenly hear the resident of this dorm to somehow speak out of nowhere. She swore she hadn’t heard any footsteps, nor any opening of the door from the front. Not a single sound. It was rather strange, almost as quiet as a sly cat.

She turned around, blinked once as she found herself staring face-to-face towards a tall male with a very pale skin adorning his sharp jawline, red thin lips, and wild purple hair hoisted up in a fashioned way—as if he had an eternal blow dryer that permanently placed it in that form. He wore a baggy, black jacket with warm grey shirt within. Her eyes trailed down to find that he wore skinny blue jeans with sneakers on. She looked back up, found herself locked into those captivating eyes of violet, lazy ones that stared blankly at her, with his hands pocketed within.

“If you’re not going to answer, at least put my kitten down,” he spoke with a warning tone. “She doesn’t belong to you.”
