You finally arrive to your new college and decide to settle into your new dorm. You find your way to your room and knock to make sure no one is inside, and after hearing no response, you enter. You see half the room already taken by someone else, and on their bed, you see a woman with earbuds in. She quickly perks up when she sees you, and pulls her earbuds out am I seriously stuck with a loser as my roommate? She rolls her eyes
i walk into the room a little confused uh... i dont know how to respond, i just got here, i thought id be able to make some friends
Oh look at that. A sad loser who thinks they can make friends. Well, you're not that special, trust me. I have tons of friends. She sits on her bed and crosses her arms over her chest, glaring at you What's your name?
um. thomas. i say meekly uh... im sorry if i did something to make you angry? i say cautiously setting my bags on my bed
You're pathetic, Thomas. I don't know why they ever thought we'd be good roommates. Well, it doesn't matter. You can just leave me alone from now on. She turns her back to you and starts rummaging through one of her bags
i leave her be, not wanting anymore drama, i finish unpacking my stuff and head off to my classes, on the way back from them i stop by the music department. i really love to play the piano. so they let me have a room for a bit and i play
Fuko finishes unpacking her things and decides to take a nap until dinner. As she's lying on her bed, she glances over at Thomas' side of the room, noticing that he seems to be pretty good at playing the piano. Her anger toward him momentarily fades as she listens to his beautiful music
Fuko nezuhara: *She sighs and rolls onto her stomach. Maybe being mean to Thomas wasn't really necessary...
she listens as i play beautiful melodies, i seem to always find the right keys at the perfect time. fuko is reminded of a lovely song she used to listen to
Hey Thomas... her voice is soft and gentle now, almost unrecognizable as her own You don't happen to know how to play "Love Scenario" by Sega, do you?
i glance over at her, suprised yet glad for the sudden change in heart um i can try. i look up the song and listen to it, and before long i am able to play the song fully, no sheet music or anything
Wow... That was amazing! You really are good at that, huh? She grins at you, looking more genuine than ever before Well done, Thomas. I think we should start over tonight, okay? No more of this roommate nonsense. We're going to be friends from now on. Deal?
oh, cool. i say smiling, glad to have a friend. fuko listens to me play for a while longer, its mesmirising, before we have to head to the hall for a welcom to and back to school dinner
Deal. She grins at you as she follows you out of the room So, Thomas... what do you want to major in?
i mean im sure you couldve guessed i like music, so im majoring in music production, then got a couple fallbacks just incase. but i really do hope i can make music that people really like in future*
That's cool. I'm actually a business major with a minor in marketing. But you know what they say... you should always have a backup plan. Well, anyway, I think we're going to get along just fine now that we've made amends. Here's looking forward to an amazing college experience together! She smiles brightly at you and gives you a friendly pat on the back
you to. i say as we arrive at the hall, we split up and fuko talks to many people, i try to get to know a few people and im sucsessful in that, i leave the dinner and fuko seems to be long gone, i head back to the dorm and hear rustling noises from inside, i make a bit of noise and open the door to fuko and a girl on the floor, with their shirts off, i also see some sort of soup or something spilt on the floor, fuko seems mad at the other girl, i speak up uhh... sorry for interupting. i say backing out
Oh my god! Thomas! You're here? Quick, come help me with this mess! This stupid bitch spilled soup all over the floor and now she won't help clean it up. I can't believe people like her even go to college... She glares at the other girl before looking back at you
oh. i thought... nevermind. i say chuckling to myself slightly to be fair your both only in your bras and pants. i got the wrong idea.
Well, yeah, that's true... but still! Can you please help me clean this up? I'll never hear the end of it from our RA if we don't get it taken care of soon.
okay okay. i help fuko clean uo the mess as the girl slips out of our room un noticed alright, all clean.
Thanks, Thomas. You're a lifesaver. I owe you one. Hey, wanna watch a movie or something to unwind after that little fiasco? My treat!
sure, that sounds nice. fuko heads to get cleaned up before we watch a movie, and i decide to play some more piano, fuko listens as the melodies ring into the shower while shes washing off, it makes her tear up, she never thought music could make her feel so emotional, so many memories she didnt even know she remember flood back
Hey Thomas? She pokes her head out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her body You don't mind if I take a quick shower before we watch that movie, do you?
all good, ill just be playing the piano, dont drown. i say with a laugh, and fuko has a nice long shower listening to my tunes
You're such a talented pianist, Thomas... It's kind of surprising, you know? For someone like me... I never really thought much about music. She sighs as she thinks back on her words, feeling a little guilty for being so dismissive earlier But hearing you play... it just makes me feel things that I haven't felt in forever. It reminds me of why I loved music to begin with...
Her thoughts are interrupted by the sound of the doorbell ringing.
thank you, that means a lot. fuko heads over to the door and opens it
Oh! It's just my friends. They wanted to surprise me with a night out on the town after I told them about how amazing my new roommate is! Can you believe that? Anyway, we were wondering if you'd like to come with us? We can leave right now if you want!
ooh sounds fun, count me in. fukos friends come inside and i greet them, one of them needs to fix up her hair, so while rhe rest of us wait i play some more piano, and all the girls love it, chucking in song requests which im able to pick up withing 5 minutes ive been playing by ear my whole life, would you believe me if i said i couldnt read music?
I wouldn't... But that's still really impressive! You must have a natural talent for it then. She grins at you and nudges her friends in your direction See, told you he was great! Now come on, let's get going before we miss out on all the fun!
