Adventures in Dorm Living
"Flynn! Fly-ynn!" There was a pounding at the door separating my room from the wild, blue yonder... better known as my college's dormitory. It wasn't a large dorm--only three floors, three halls on each. Second floor and Three South were the men's residence, while Three East and West and Fourth floor were women's. The first floor and basement were part of the college. Gotta love small, private schools.
"Flynn Callaghan! I know you're in there--open up, already!" Maxine Simmons is a girl who has managed to turn ordinary whining into an art form. A glance at my digital clock confirmed that it was only 6:12 in the morning. I would kill her someday.
"What?!" I demanded upon jerking open my door.
"You're just now out of bed?" Max asked innocently. I could have strangled her right then and there.
"Yes," I snipped. "Why the HELL are you knocking on my door so early?!" Looking back, my grumpiness probably sounded more like sleep-deprived whimpering.
"Don't tell me you forgot already!" She looked at me with those wide hazel eyes of hers, her blonde curls already tamed despite the hour.
"Huh?"
"You promised you'd go eat breakfast with me since Cherie was gone!" If looks could kill, Max wouldn't be alive today.
"I said I would eat breakfast with you, NOT that I'd get up before the rest of the world," I growled. "My first class isn't till 9. Come back and wake me at 7:45." And with that, I shut the door and stumbled back to bed. There was just no way I was getting up.
End.
