Chapter 2
"Luhan! Baby! How are you?!" Lay yells as soon as I answer his video chat request.
"Stop calling me that! I'm older than you!" I chuckle.
"But you act like a baby brother so.."
"No I don't, you act like an annoying younger brother trying to talk down to me. Oh, wait, you are." I joke before he rolls his eyes.
"So, when are we gonna be able to see your 'top secret' invention? You've been working on it for years so it's about time you finished it."
"I just got here today! It's not like I can pull the equipment out of my ass." I chuckle making him laugh.
"If you could then you could have stayed here." He points out.
"Touché, my friend, touché."
"So how is it there, have you made any friends?" He asks.
"Eh, kinda, but apparently my roommate is handing out keys to everyone and people came and trashed it. But this other guy came when I was here and cleaned most of it up."
"Oh, well, hey, I'll call you later, I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing. Good luck, see you soon." He waves.
"Bye." I smile before the screen goes completely black.
"No, not now." I whine as I try to turn it on but it won't.
I flip it over before opening my nightstand and grab a screwdriver out.
Yeah, I keep a screwdriver in my nightstand, so what?
I take the back off my computer and fiddling around with it before the screen lights back up. I put the back on before screwing the it back in place.
"Hey! What the hell did you do to my room?!" A voice startles me making me jump and throw my laptop onto the ground with a bang.
Just by the sound of it hitting the ground I know something bad happened to it but I can't get myself to look at it.
Instead I look up to see a tall and thin man glaring at me as he stands in front of the door.
"Did you not hear me or something? Why the hell did you trash up my side of the room?!" He repeats as I stand up and pick my laptop off the ground.
"It was like that when I got here, a guy came by and picked most of it up." I say as I sit down and slowly open it, scared to see the damage.
"Who?" He asks harshly.
"He said his name was Xiumin." I sigh as I see the cracked screen.
Fucking shit, Baek just made this damn thing.
I pull my phone out and text Baekhyun to thank him for the shitty computer and tell him what he needs to do to make it stronger.
The front door slams, shaking the dresser and once again startling me. Why the hell am I so jumpy today?
A couple seconds later Baekhyuns name pops up on my phone and I answer it only to hear him start yelling at me.
"What do you mean it broke! It was a great computer!"
"It was slow and heavy, and shut off after I was video chatting Lay on it and I had to open the back and some of the wiring was messed up but I fixed it. Then I think my roommate got here and scared me and I dropped it off my bed and it's not working right now." I sigh.
"Way to go, just mail it back to me and I'll try to fix it." He sighs.
"Ok, but don't beat yourself up to much, it was your first time making a computer."
"Yeah, well thanks, just mail it to my room." He says.
"Ok, bye." I say before hanging up.
I set my laptop on my bed before pulling out some sweats, a sweatshirt, a towel, and my soap. I go into the bathroom and get into the nice sized shower. It's not as big as my other one but it isn't a terrible size.
I take my time under the warm water before getting out and drying off. I pull my pajamas on before trying to dry my mop of hair with the towel.
Once it's as dry as I can get it I brush it out and hang the towel on one of the racks. I brush my teeth before leaving back into the room and find Xiumin and the other guy back in here.
"Hi, Luhan!" Xiumin chirps as I enter the room and see him cleaning the closet while the other guy lays on his bed on his phone with earphones in.
"Hey, he dragged you back here to clean?" I ask softly, hoping his music is loud enough to block our voices out.
"Yeah, I don't really care, but be careful with your things around him, don't leave anything you don't want him to use out, because he doesn't really understand what don't touch means." He says like he is trying to signal me to look over at him.
"What?" I say as I glance over at him then back at Xiumin who is now minding his own business.
I go over to my bed and put my laptop on my nightstand before getting on my phone.
I can hear that guys music blasting in his hears making me roll m eyes.
He's gonna destroy his headphones, I think as I look on my desk for mine. Maybe I knocked them off~
I look on the ground around the nightstand before looking in my draw and find them nowhere.
No..
I look over at the guy and realize he's using mine, what the hell?!
"Hey give me back my headphones!" I say as I jump up and pull the cord out from his phone with a sharp glare.
"What the hell dude?" He glare as he pulls them out of his ears.
"Don't take my things, you're going to destroy them listening to the music that loud!" I say as I rip them out of his hands and go back over to my bed.
"What's up with your drawer of nerd things?" He asks as I look over and see him messing with my rubix cube.
"Give that to me!" I huff as I get up and snatch it from him.
"I was playing with that." He glares back at me as I put it back in my drawer.
"It's not liked you'd be able to solve it." I murmur as I shut the drawer and get back on my bed.
I hear Xiumin softly chuckling as he finishes getting the trash out of the closet.
"Damn, someone doesn't like to share." The guy on the bed chuckles making me groan.
"No, I don't like having a klepto as a roommate." I snap as I pull my blankets over my legs.
"I'm not a klepto." He argues.
"It seems like you are." I say with wide eyes and a fake smile.
"Just because I used your headphones doesn't mean I'm a klepto. And where did you get those, they're really nice." He says making me roll my eyes.
"They're one of a kind." Well, five of a kind.
"Yeah, mhm. Just tell me what kind they are and I'll leave your stuff alone."
"You sound like a klepto." I point out. "And there are only five pairs that've been made."
"Stop being a dick and just tell me so I can go buy some."
"I'm not being a 'dick', and even if I was I sure as hell wouldn't tell you where I got them." I huff.
"That's a dick move."
"You wouldn't want to buy them anyways." You wouldn't have the money, I'm not saying he's poor, they're just expensive to make.
"And why's that?"
"Because it takes over two hundred dollars to make and I don't want to waste my time making them for a jerk."
"'You're time'?" He cackles.
"Yeah, I made them, LH, Lu Han." I say pointing the the letters on the buds.
"How do you know how to make earphones?!" He says as he sits up.
"Don't worry about it, just don't touch my things." I say as I plug them into my phone and put the buds in my ears, drowning out his annoying questions.
I pull my bag out from under my bed, slightly annoyed that I gave my hiding place for it up but I want to get on my computer.
I place my thumb on the small scanner on my bag and am pleased to see that Chen isn't completely terrible at making locks. I quickly grab my laptop out of it and shut it before my nosey roommate can get a peek inside. I slide it back under my bed before turning it on and log into my profile.
I continue making a list of the equipment I'm going to need until finally Xiumin leaves so I can sleep. I didn't want to be rude and just get in bed so I wanted to wait.
"So, are you some kind of nerd or something?"
"I don't really consider myself a 'nerd' necessarily, but I'm smart I guess." I say as I turn the lamp on my desk off and pull my blankets over me.
"Are you going to bed? It's eight and the last week of summer."
"Exactly, I want to get as much sleep in until school starts and I had a long flight so if you don't mind I'd like to sleep." I say as I pull the thin blankets over me trying to warm up.
"You're a first year hm?" He says making me groan.
"No, I'm a third."
"No you're not." He chuckles as I roll over and glare at him.
"I skipped a grade, can I sleep now-"
"You are a nerd. So, what were you typing about so intensely." He says cocking a brow at me.
"It's none of your business, don't touch my things either." I groan as I roll back over to face the wall.
"Why are you so boring?" He groans making me chuckle softly to myself. Boring.. Let's just hope he'll continue to think that and leave me alone.
"Because fun is stupid, and I'm putting my headphones in so I don't have to listen to anymore of your stupid questions." I say as I do exactly that.
Finally, peace and quiet.
I welcome the darkness that comes as I shut my eyes and finally fall asleep.
