College days- Storyline pre RP
Traveling for the first time to another country can be an intimidating experience, moving from homeschooling to an actual college can also be challenging, adapting to another culture and lifestyle? Surely hard as well! All those at the same time? To Akane Musashi, that was nothing short of a mess.
She walked around the campus with her oversized luggage, it was a weird experience, most men looked at her and turned away the moment she made eye contact, same with the girls...was she weird or, was it something else? She moved at an even faster pace to the dorm building, she was supposed to stay there, but she had no idea of what to expect.
As she entered her room, a girl with short hair was sitting on one of the beds, she was using a laptop and was wearing camo pants, looking at her so comfortable on her room made the Musashi slightly frown.
“Hi...sorry, I think you are in my room, this is room 23”
The girl closed her laptop as she looked at Akane, she slightly smiled as she replied to her
“This is my room as well! You must be my roommate then! whoa, that’s one huge bag”
“Roommate? What does that mean?!”-Akane replied slightly tilting her head in confusion
“That means we are sharing this room, duh!?”
“WHAT?! But that’s unhygienic! Also, there is not nearly enough space for us two!”
Ann genuinely thought Akane was joking, surely she saw her bed right next to hers...right?
“Unhygienic? Girl, I’m clean af! also, there’s plenty of space!. I’m Ann by the way, nice to meet you! Your bed's over there, the fridge is on that corner, and I guess we’ll be sharing this desk since there is no room for another. Don’t worry tho, I usually work on my bed...why don’t you put that bag down anyway? It looks like it weighs a ton”
Akane lowered her military style bag, the thing was almost as large as the bed she had to sleep in.
*Af?*
“Nice to meet you...My name is Akane Musashi...you said that’s a fridge?”
Akane knew for fact refrigerators were large cold rooms, and that tiny thing surely wasn't. Was this girl trying to fool her or something?
*Is this girl making fun of my fridge?!* was the first thought that came to Ann’s mind.
“Well Akane, no need to be mean! I bought it with my money, it might not be in good shape, but it does work! Also, I got it for super cheap”- she said as she walked towards the mini fridge and opened it.
“Here, have a drink, see? It’s cold.”- Ann tossed the drink to Akane which she caught with one hand, Musashi looked at it with curiosity
“It’s certainly cold! this...mountain...dew?”
The concept was baffling, Akane didn’t know fridges could be so tiny, it was shocking!
“Nice reflexes...You are not from around here, are you? Your accent is a little strong, also, you’ve been reading the label of the can for like five minutes...don’t they have that where you live?”
“I’m from Japan...I’m...not sure actually, I’ve never seen anything like this”
Of course, Akane meant sodas in general, but Ann just thought she meant that particular brand.
“Japan eh? Cool! Well, why don’t you try it!? I absolutely love that stuff, it’s the bomb!”
Akane cracked open the drink, the way it fizzed reminded her of mineral water, but the smell was incredibly sweet, what was this thing?! The moment she took a sip she grimaced, that had to be the sweetest thing she had ever tasted in her entire life. Ann did her best not to laugh, but Akane's face twisted in ways she thought weren't even possible.
“That’s extremely sweet...and sour too! God that’s horrible! how can you drink that?!!”
“What a crybaby! I’ll keep them to myself then!”- She said as she drank the rest of the can, something that utterly disgusted Akane, not just because of her high tolerance towards the disgusting flavor, but also because she didn’t care enough about what was essentially an indirect kiss.
Akane tried to breathe in and calm down, she knew things would be different, so she simply had to play along until she got used to everything around her. She looked around as if trying to find something, but she ended up asking Ann.
“Ah, sorry, You didn’t tell me where the shower was, I’d really like to take one”
“That’s because the dorm bathrooms are on the first floor, and yes, we have to share those too:”
“Oh god.”
