Chapter #3Anyone you touch grows. by: apoo   All that night I had nightmares. I dreamt that everyone I cared for would come up to me, and give me a hug, and when pulling away their bodies began to burn away where their skin touched mine. Screams filled the air, and I ran away, bumping into crowds of people who would burn and die from my touch.
I couldn't help but think about the dream all day, and I made it to class and back avoiding most people, out of paranoia. The dream had a severe impact on me...hopefully that was temporary.
I unlocked my door and saw a girl in my dorm. It was my new roommate. She turned around, and I tried not to smile because she was cute and attractive. "Oh. Hi! I'm Sarah. I was assigned to this room."
"Hi Sarah." I said. Sarah was a bit shorter than me, her short red hair and green eyes, and freckles all added to her cute appeal. She was one of those girls that were so adorable, that I felt compelled to hug her. "I'm Amanda. Yeah, I was waiting for my roommate to show up for about a week now." I set down my backpack, and finally forgot about the dream for a few minutes thanks to the cuteness of this girl, and I extended my hand to shake.
She puts out her hand and shakes, and suddenly withdraws her hand with a little gasp. "What was that?" She asked.
Confused, I looked down at my hand. "What?" Remembering the dream, my heart started racing.
"I felt like, a tingle from your hand. It wasn't bad, it was like...a massage. Like static, but not." She said.
"I don't know. That's weird, I didn't feel anything." I said. Sarah did grow from my contact, but neither of us noticed yet.
"Anyway...which room did you pick?" She asked.
"That one." I said, pointing to my room.
"Aww...You got the good view..."
"I was here first." I said, jokingly.
"Yeah yeah." Sarah picked up her bag and began dragging it to her room. "By the way, just so you aren't surprised, I'm...I'm um..." She paused, and looked away. "I'm bi, so if you see other girls around here, don't be all surprised and stuff."
I laughed. "Don't worry about it. I'm bi too."
Sarah blushed slightly. "Oh ok. That's cool." She said, nodding, and smiling. Walked into her room before the conversation became anymore awkward.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
