Connor's POV

I sat at the dinner table. I didn't really know why I was there, or really cared about it anyway. My phone buzzed and I noticed that I'd received a text from a message group called 'Sincerely Three', inside joke between the three of us, people probably wouldn't get if I even explained. It's a fucking long joke to explain anyways. What I will say, is that it was Jared who came up with it. I sometimes wonder how I'm even friends with that ass anyways. Maybe it was just because I'm friends with Hansen and Jared was just sort of there, I don't fucking know.

Yo, Connor, are you ready for college?

Oh. Yeah, I forgot that they were taking me. That's fucking stupid, and I must be a fucking idiot because my bags are by my feet.

Okay first, drop the 'yo', Jared. And I'm not really sure. I mean, I have my bags and everything but I just don't like the fact that we're fucking going back to school again.

Not school, college.

Jared, they're basically the same thing.

Can you guys uh, not uh, start on this um, right now?

I had stood up by the time Evan had even typed anything. I didn't reply to the conversation as I walked out of the house, but judging by the fact my phone was blowing up, I didn't need to. I saw Jared's car through a window as I approached my door. I held back a laugh, Jared and Evan were both on their phones, having some sort of argument. At least, I assumed, I don't fucking know or really care. "Hey," I mumbled causing both of them to look at me. I was silent as I entered the car and put my bags down.

"So.... I hear you're gonna get a roommate?" Jared's tone made me scowl. Fucking hell, do NOT start on this right now.

"How dirty minded are you, you piece of shit?" I practically growled. "No. It's not going to be like that." Jared didn't seem all to happy at the 'piece of shit' comment, but he remained silent.

"I didn't say anything. But, ya know, the meme~"

"Jared Kleinman," I warned. My voice was starting to get angry. Evan looked in between us, his breath starting to quicken.

"I am just saying-"

"CAN WE PLEASE JUST DRIVE NOW?" Evan yelped loudly. When we both looked at him, he kind of sank back into his seat, face going really red. Jared blinked at him and then finally started driving us off towards the college. I did wonder who exactly my roommate would be if I would even get one one at all.

Though, I feel sorry for the poor soul who gets stuck with me as their roommate.

~~~

Jared and Evan started arguing about something again. I wasn't really listening, nor was I even able to hear what they were saying really, Linkin Park was blasting in my ears through some earphones. I had drowned them out basically. One thing though I could tell, because of his tone, was that Jared sure as fuck sounded really jealous. I just stayed out of it.

Soon a building came into view.

"Well, well, well, those appear to be the dorms!"

"Jared-"

"Just saying Con."

"Yeah. Sure," I mocked. "You're totally not saying I'm going to fall in love with my roommate, saying I have one at all." I scowled at him but it just caused Jared to smirk. "Oh fuck this." I got out of the car and walked into the building.
