[OOC: I was pretty bored today. No computer, and I kind of sat down and tried to write from Mattie's POV. Not going to let it go to waste, so here. A starter for when Mattie gets a roommate. Or whoever wants to burst into his dorm and entertain him for a while xD ] Matthew attempted to balance all his books in one arm as he climbed up the dark mahogany spiral stairs. Being careful not to trip over any of the steps, he quickly made it to his dorm's floor. Two falls in one day wouldn't have been very nice. He didn't want to be known as the school's nerdiest and clumsiest kid. People didn't notice him much, and having that change wasn't in his plans right now. Not that you had to worry much about your reputation, not when you were Matthew. As soon as he opened the door to his dorm, he set down all the books on the small desk located in his side of the room. There would be no sign of anyone living here had it not been for the three large bags lying on top of the Canadian's bed. Matthew hadn't gotten around to unpacking his things yet - basically just a bunch of clothes, books, school materials, hockey stuff and of course, his camera. He'd been part of the school's yearbook staff ever since last year, and he was looking forward to taking a few more pictures this year, too. And so he quickly began unpacking his things, not really having much else to do. He shouldn't leave things for the last minute, anyway... not that he always did things on time. He was a bit of a procrastinator, believe it or not. It was around six o' clock already. Matthew had finished his unpacking and organized all his things around his side of the dorm. He'd even taken a look at the books he'd be using in his upcoming classes, and still his roommate had not arrived. Huh, maybe I won't be getting a new roommate.. The idea didn't sound so bad. That way there was nobody to bother him, and there was no stressing out over having to become friends with someone, either. Silly little Matthew... |

As Gilbert made his way up the stairwell, he chuckled to himself at the hilarious scenario that had just taken place on the field, which included himself, Francis, Antonio and a firecracker. Letting his mind wonder, he started to think about who he would be sharing a dorm with, as he had forgotten to check the notice outside the library earlier. He knew it wouldn't be Antonio or Francis, because they were sharing together, West mentioned to him that he was sharing with Feli, which Gilbert was annoyed about, because not sharing a dorm with West meant missing out on some pretty funny pranks to play on him. As approached his dorm room, he took the key he had been given out of his pocket. He tried to unlock the door, but it appeared it was already open. He took a deep breath in, and opened the door. A fair-haired boy looked up at him as he raised an eyebrow. Gilbert broke into the grin he always wore "Alfred." he said, sure of himself. |

Matthew heard the door unlock, and quickly looked up from the book he was reading from where he was lying on his bed. Standing there was a certain German albino. What, this guy couldn't be his roommate! "Gilbert? I'm, um, Matthew... Alfred's brother." He'd confused him for Alfred, no surprise there. After all, they did look alike. "You're my... roommate?" he asked, half-hoping he was, half-hoping he had the wrong dorm number. |

His grin slowly faded into just a smile, as he said "Matthew... huh... Well, if this is Dorm 1, then I'm your room-mate. I uhh... I forgot to check who I was in a dorm with so... yeah..." He said grinning again, a little embarrassed. He wasn't even sure why, the whole situation wasn't awkward at all, there was just something about the small Canadian boy that Gilbert... liked... He slowly walked into the room and looked around inquisitively. Putting his bags down by the bed closest to the wall, he sat on his bed and sighed happily. He opened his bag and grabbed his PSP. Kicking his shoes off, he placed his pillow against the wall on the bed and started playing his game, lying on the bed, resting his back against the pillow. "So, are you new here? I don't think I've ever seen you here before." Gilbert began still concentrating on his game. |

Matthew slowly sat up, and stared at Gilbert for a moment as he made himself comfortable in the new room, "Well, I suppose so, then... " Keeping his gaze on his book, mostly out of nervousness than wanting to keep reading, he replied to the question. "Eh, no, I've actually been around here since last year... I'm a sophomore. I'm just a year behind Alfred." Talking to Gilbert wasn't so difficult, really. But there was still something about the whole situation that was making the Canadian's cheeks go pink. He tried to pay it no mind, though. At least his roommate was too focused on his video game to pay any sort of attention to it, too. "How long have you been here?"

"Hmmm... about a year and a bit. Same as West." Gilbert said, casually taking his school jacket off, as it was getting pretty hot. "So, what you reading?" He said, putting his game on the bed and looking over at Matthew.

He tilted his head at the strange nickname, "West? You mean your brother?" "Oh & this?" he said, signaling the book and showing him the cover of it, then putting it down. It would be rude to not pay attention, right...? "I-it's just... something I picked up from the library for my French class. Apparently the teacher's a bit picky about how students use their French so I ... decided to study a bit. What classes are you taking this year?" |

"That's cool... And yeah, sorry 'bout that, I sometimes don't even realise I call him West..." He looked at the book cover as Matthew placed it on the floor, then looked back him. "Well, I'm doing... Uhmmm..." Gilbert looked up at the ceiling as he tried to remember. "Oh yeah, Geometry, World History, Psychology, Chemistry... Photography... and English two. Not in order..." He said grinning. (OOC - Sorry the reply took so long, I had tea and then had to wash up XD) |

(( OOC - That's okay! I was kind of distracted anyway - attempting to play the keyboard. But I seriously suck at this OTL )) "Oh, you're taking Psychology?" the Canadian said, a bit more interested now. That was actually one of the classes he was most looking forward to this year. "I am, too. I think it's my fourth class, but I might be wrong. I took Photography last year, so I help out with the Yearbook now. It's fun." He finished, a small smile finding his way onto his lips. |

Gilbert found himself staring at the Canadian for longer than he intended to, captivated by his smile. Suddenly his mind went off like an alarm "Uhh..." He began as he found himself quite flustered, which was pretty unusual for him. "Yeah, I'm doing Psychology for my fourth class too, I guess I have someone to sit next to now, since I had no idea who else was in my class!" He said glancing down at the floor for a brief moment, but then looking back at Matthew. |
