Chapter Text
Primrose POV
The day starts off like any other. I am walking to my dorm when I bump into someone around the corner. Our bags crash to the floor spilling our notes everywhere. I quickly start picking up my stuff.
"I am so sorry! I should have been paying more attention to my surroundings," a deep voice says, and I glance up at him to reassure him that it was my fault, but the words fall flat when we make eye contact. Staring back at me is the most beautiful set of kaleidoscope eyes I have ever seen. I blush and quickly look back down at my books.
"No, it was my fault as well. I shouldn't have been daydreaming in the hallway," I tell him and he laughs slightly, causing a slight shiver to run down my spine. We gather our things, and he helps me stand.
"So, are you new here? I ask him shyly. He smiles back, slightly nodding.
"I am actually. There were some issues at my old college. So, I transferred here," he says, and I nod in understanding.
"Yeah, I get that. I'm Primrose, but most people call me Prim or Rose," I state, and hold my hand out to shake. He surprises me though by taking my hand and kissing it. I blush slightly and laugh. He winks, then laughs.
"My name is Alexander or Alex if you like," Alex says, and I smile at him.
"Was there somewhere you were trying to go?" I ask, and he sighs.
"I can't find my new dorm," he says showing me his slip with his dorm number on it.
"Oh! Your dorm is the single next to mine. I'm actually on my way back to drop off some books. Why don't you follow me," I say, and he grins.
"Sure, That would be a huge help. It's pretty cool that we are neighbors, don't you think?" Alexander says, and I smile a little.
"Yeah! Although I'm not really good at communicating. So, if it seems like I'm not very social that's just because I don't get out much," I tell him slightly ashamed.
"Please don't worry about that. I'm the same way. I tend to hang out in my dorm. I like staying in more than partying," he says, trying to cheer me up. I grin at him, and we go to our dorms.
"Well here we are! Feel free to knock anytime you have a question," I say to him, and he nods agreeing to stop by if he needs something. I say goodbye and enter my dorm, noticing my roommate is gone. She must be in class. Good, now I won't be questioned about my red face.
Alexander POV
She's perfect. I have been searching my whole life for someone like her. No one compares to her, and I will have her! I need to keep myself calm and plan through how I will make her mine. As much as I wish to make her mine, I need to wait because I want her to love me first. And she will love me. Never have I been more thankful for the fact that I have a single dorm. I won't have to deal with an annoying roommate messing with my plans. Now, how should I start about making Primrose mine?
Primrose POV
I wake up to my roommate shaking my shoulder, and I groan at her. Why is she shaking me?
"Can I help you?" I groan at her, trying to fall back asleep.
"The dorm next to us is finally filled in!" Annabelle says excitedly. I blink at her and yawn.
"Yeah, I know already. His name is Alexander, and yes he is handsome, and no I don't know if he is single," I say, already knowing what she will ask. She huffs, and sits down next to me.
"How do you know him?" Ann asks, snuggling under my covers and trying to force me awake. I glare at her slightly then sigh in defeat.
"We ran into each other and I showed him to his dorm. That is all," I say, finally giving up on going back to sleep. She goes to say something, but stops when we hear a knock on our door.
"Come in!" She shouts, and I glare at her. Who just allows someone to enter their room without knowing who it is first? The door opens and Alexander is there. He blinks at us and a dark look flashes across his face, but it vanishes as quickly as it appeared. He smiles at me and Annabelle jumps up.
"Hi! I'm Annabelle," She tells him, and his smile seems to be more forced now, however I don't think Annabelle noticed. I wonder why he seems tense around her.
"Hello, My name is Alexander," Alex says. I sit up and yawn.
"I'm sorry did I wake you up?" He asks frowning at me. I look at him and smile.
"No, actually Annabelle did because she is evil," I tell him, playfully glaring at her. Annabelle smirks, and I shove her. Alexander hums and studies us.
"Did you want something, by the way?" Annabelle asks. He nods, and looks at me. I blush slightly under his stare. He smirks, and Ann huffs.
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out for a bit and help me decorate my room?" He asks with a note of hope in his voice. I grin at him and nod.
"Give me a minute to fully wake up and I will be right over," I tell him, and his face lights up. He hugs me. suddenly startling me. Annabelle looks at me in shock and I share the same look. I pat his back gently, and he hums. He lets go and looks at me. I am sure my face is beet red, because he laughs.
"See you in a bit," he whispers, and leaves. After he leaves Annabelle and I look at each other.
"Did that seriously happen," I ask out loud. Annabelle glares at the door, and I look at her confused.
"He completely ignored me! He is so rude. There is something wrong with him," she says, and I turn at her.
"I don't think there is something wrong with him. Although that hug was a little different. He didn't seem the touchy feely type," I say to her and she looks at me like I'm crazy.
"Did he do something to you when he hugged you?" She asks, feeling my forehead. I laugh at her, and move her hand away. I brush my hair and fix my clothes. I look at myself in mirror. Good, I no longer look like I just woke up.
