All I Wanted

**Song(s) for the chapter

>>> Idgaf by Dua Lipa

>>> Don't start now by Dua Lipa.

“California State University," I say as I read the giant sign board.

I'see a lot of cars moving in and out of the school premises; I'm sure they're all freshers that their parents accompanied. I didn't want my dad to accompany me because then he'd have to take a flight back home, and it wouldn't be sane if we took our separate cars besides, I didn't want to stress the older man. I'm the only one he has left ever since he lost my mother. I love him, but hell dance is my life; 'm going to study this course and pass, but it won't be my future.

I checked my Google map for directions to my campus; it's not far from where I am right now. I started driving while blasting the speakers of my car with Dua Lipa. I am a massive fan of hers, and her song excites me. I remember the day I was taking 2 stroll on the road with my dad, and a passerby was playing “idgaf.” it was just like a reflex because I started singing to it immediately without noticing that people were staring at me and my dad was right there laughing and shaking his head.

I got to the campus and parked my car. I'll leave my luggage in the booth, for now; I should probably check my room out. It was easy to locate my room since every room had numbers on the door; I hope my room turns out to be great.

I opened the door and saw two girls inside the room; who look like my age.

“Hi, I'm Jane, and I'm your new roommate.” I say with a smile on my face; they surveyed me from head to toe in a rhythm like they had planned on doing that before I got into the room.

“Kara,” the slim brunette girl says.

“Nice to meet you, Kara," I say with a smile.

“Susan,” the other girl says, she’s kind of slim but with curves and has her hair braided. I love box braids; yup, I'm going to make one of those.

“I'm glad I have cool roommates like yall, I say.

“You don't look bad either,” Susan says.

“Alright, I'll just go get my stuff from my car’ I say

“We'll help,” they offer.

“Great,” I say with a broad smile.

We got to where my car was parked, I opened the booth, and they helped me with my stuff; okay, they're lovely.

“Thank you," I say.

We got to our room, and they carefully dropped it by the empty bed I think is mine now.

“There you go,” Kara says.

“I appreciate y'all; how can you be so pretty and so nice at the same time?” I say, and they both giggle.

“So, What course are you here to study?” Kara asks.

“Uhm... Medicine,” I reply

“She's a genius,” Susan says.

“But..what are you here for?” Kara asks with an eyebrow up.

I chuckled. “Dance,” I reply

“And?727" Susan asked again, like they wanted to hear something else, but I understood where they were goi.

“Okay, okay... Fine and boys," I say, and we all burst into laughter

"I knew it," Susan says.

“Congratulations, you've passed the test; you're a cool person, and we thought you'd be a nerd, but you'd not fit in if you were a nerd,” Kara says.

“I'm studying physiology, and she’s studying mass communication,” Susan says.

“Wow, that's some excellent course,” I reply.

“susan, I don't think I'll be able to go to the party tonight” Kara says.

“But why?” Susan says while pouting her lips.

“I'm trying to avoid jonah."

“Oht Your little crush,” Susan says and laughs. " But who will I go to the party with? I can’t go alone. It'll be super boring, or would you like to come with me?” She asks, looking in my direction.

“Oh, me? I wish I could, but I'm way exhausted, the stress from driving and everything," I say.

“Hmm... I understand; I'll just stay here with you all since no one’s going,” Susan says.

I brought my clothes, shoes, and practically everything from my box and arranged them in my wardrobe. After putting them, took a towel and headed for the bathroom.

“I want to have a quick shower," I say as I get into the bathroom.

The bathroom looks nice and clean, and I'm glad my roommates are neat. I pulled off my clothes and turned on the shower. heaved a sigh of relief as the water touched me. I swear I might be a mermaid with my obsession with water. After I was satisfied, I tied the towel around my body and came out of the bathroom with my dirty clothes in my hands.

I dropped the clothes In an empty laundry basket in the corner of the room. I couldn't see Susan and Kara, maybe they had already gone to the partyeady. I picked a night dress from my wardrobe and wore it. I hate wearing panties or bras at night. Ijumped on my bed, and the feeling was so good I knew I'd sleep after some minutes.

Susan and Kara walked in; I guess they didn’t go to the party after all.

“Aww, she's sleeping already; I might as well just sleep now," Kara says.

Iwas trying to fall asleep, but I just couldn't. As I was about to stand up to drink some milk maybe to help me with sleep, I heard Susan dialing a number. I don't know why I didn't just stand up from the bed rather than still pretending I was asleep. “Hey Michael, can you come over?” I hear Susan whispering to the person she was on call with

“Yes, they're here, but they're fast asleep; they won't figure out anything," she says

Iwish I could hear what the person was saying, but couldn't. What are they talking about?

“Come on, don't be stich a p***y; I told you they're asleep already. Just come over here; I'll be expecting you in I5 minutes,” she says and ends the call.

Whoever she was talking to must live close to this campus because she expects him to be here in I5 minutes. But what the f**k are they up to, and am I safe here?
