Roommates
Chapter 4
"Hey! Carson, babe, I miss you." Nate said when he picked up the phone.
"Nate, I miss you, too." I said, practically whining over the phone.
"How was your first day?" he asked.
"It was okay." I grumbled.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Well, my roommate, Tyson, said something today. He told me how you and I were never going to work out because of the distance." I said, practically laughing.
I heard a long pause on the other line, with made my stomach tighten up.
"Um, Nate?" I said after a minute.
"Oh, oh. Ha. Yeah..." Nate laughed nervously.
What the hell was his problem?
"Hmm. Nate, are you okay?" I asked.
"Y-yeah. Listen, Carson. I have to go to work now. Bye." he said, hanging up immediately.
Strange. He always said he loves me after saying bye.
I shrugged it off, maybe he was just in a hurry to get to work.
I threw my phone back on my bed, and started searching online for my college books.
I found myself closing my eyes, and falling asleep.
---
I woke up the next morning, and took a extra long, hot shower.
Thank God there were no classes today, because I was not in the mood.
I blew my hair dry, and put on a black tank top with a pair of lips on it, bright turquoise shorts, black sandals, turquoise feather earrings, and silver bangles.

I finished off my look with a few coats of mascara, and lip balm. I never wore too much make up, I liked to keep myself natural.
I got out the bathroom, and went to my kitchen.
I walked pass a girl whom I've never seen before.
She was sitting on a chair, drinking orange juice, and texting.
"Hey, um. Who are you?" I asked, the same was Tyson asked who I was on my first day.
Her head snapped up, and she gave me a big smile.
"Hey! I'm Leslie! You live here with Brett and them, right?" she asked.
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm Carson."
"Yeah, sorry for freaking you out or anything! Brett just bought me to his room yesterday. And the rest is history. If you know what I mean." she enthusiastically said.
I frowned. Who would be so energetic at 8 in the morning? Then again, why was I even awake? There was no school today, and I could've slept till 2 pm.
"Oh yeah. So, how's Brett?" I asked.
"He's the sweetest thing, ever! We've been kind of on an off for the past month." she giggled.
I smirked. Sweet? Hah. Brett? No.
She was a nice girl. Too bad Brett will be a jerk to her, and rip her heart out.
"Well, nice meeting you." I said, and walked out of my dorm.
I needed to get some coffee at the cafe.
I stopped by my personal mailbox, and sat down at the cafe, sipping on a latte, while reading my letters.
I skimmed through them, and decided to read the one from my mother.
Dear Carson,
Hi, honey. How's college? We all miss you.
Anyway, your aunt Sara is getting married next weekend. She invited us, and I promised we'll all go. She's having it in Massachusetts, which isn't very far away from Rhode Island. I bought you a bus ticket, and you'll have to go on Saturday. Sorry for the late notice, darling.
Please call me when you leave for the bus, and here's a few hundred dollars to get a dress.
Good luck in college!
Love,
Mom
I sighed. I never liked Aunt Sara. She was annoying, and always got me lousy Christmas presents.
For those of you who want to know how Nate looks like, just looked up Chace Crawford on Google, haha. (:
