((Lol don’t worry- we’ll work it out ^^))
After a little while longer of reading, she heard her phone buzz. She picked it up and checked the text. It was from her best friend, Destiny. “Hey, where the heck are you!? I’m waiting outside!” That’s it! She forgot- to celebrate her last night of freedom before her classes started tomorrow, Destiny and Vinney were going to go out to eat. She quickly typed back, “Shoot- I forgot, I’ll be down in a minute.” She looked up and saw Axl. Even though they had an awkward meeting, maybe bringing him with them would make him open up? Besides, she’d hate to be rude by just leaving. She added to her text, “My new roommate might come, is that okay?” “Yeah, sure,” was her friends response. Tanking out her earbuds, Vinney spoke up and asked, “Hey, Axl.. My friend and I are going out to eat, you wanna come with us?”
He heard something faint in the background. He turned around. She seemed to be…talking to him. He took out one of his earbuds, lessening the effect of the music. "Huh?" He had been sitting on his phone, just scrolling through all of the pictures he had taken the night before from stargazing. He had been out almost all night trying to calm down. He was so worried about leaving them.
“Oh, sorry, but uh,” she nervously rubbed the back of her neck. “Well, my friend and I are going out to eat, and I know we just met, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to come with us?” She looked up and met his eyes, noticing she had been glancing anywhere but there before.
He paused for a moment. What? His choices: wait around the dorm, extremely bored without the courage to roam around campus. Or, he could go with a random stranger to meet another random stranger to go get food from another random stranger. He looked away from her eyes once again. "No." HIs voice was firm and edgy. He turned around, hoping to make his point. His stomach growled loudly. Shut up!
Vinney sighed a little bit. She wasn’t sure why, but part of her was hoping he would come. Hearing his stomach growl, she quietly added, “Are you sure?” She slipped off the bed and scrambled around for her bag. Hearing her phone buzz yet again, she inched her way towards the door, waiting for probably rejection before leaving.
Axl thought for a moment. What could happen? He turned around, about to accept. Education. "I think I'm good." He walked over to his bed, picking up a few things and moving them.
((I’m really really sorry for the late response, but my grandma died just recently and I’ve been in a really rough place. I’m getting better and back into my normal routine, so I’ll be responding more often now ^^))
“Oh, alright then.” She couldn’t help the sound of disappointment that laced her voice. “Well, uh, have fun while I’m gone… I’ll try to be back early..” She rambled. Her phone violently buzzed, and she finally muttered, “Okay, bye..” Before opening the door and making her way to the elevator.
(oh gosh! Hey, don't worry! I completely understand! Don't push yourself if you're not ready! And I know that I'm hear a stranger online but like, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here ;)
His heart dropped a little as she left, stomach growling louder now. What did you just do? You're going to starve! He laughed at himself. That sucks, oh well. He continued to move things around, hoping to distract himself.
((Aw, Thank you, I really appreciate it. I’m doing alright for the time being, but I really appreciate your offer. You’re too amazing ^^))
The elevator opened on the ground floor, and Vinney raced out the doors and into the parking lot, instantly finding Destinys purple car. Jumping into the passengers seat, she panted, “Sorry I’m late!” Her friend smiled and replied, “Don’t worry about it. So no roommate?” “Yeah, he didn’t want to come.” Destiny raised her eyebrows and smirked and her, “So its a He… Interesting..” “Oh shut up,” she rolled her eyes.
((Time skip??))
(No problem, you're amazing too!! And sure, to where?)
((Ahh Thank you!! Honestly though, I mean it, you’re really great ^^ And Hmm, we could skip to like right as Vinneys getting back? Or something? Did you have anyplace in particular you wanted to skip to?))
(Don't mind me looking up how to respond to compliments… And how to human…dkckfnej.
Umm, I don't have a particular place so I'll go ahead to when she's coming back)
Axl sat on his bed, guitar in hand. He had figured the best thing besides falling asleep was playing music. He sang quietly under his breath, unsure of how things the walls were. It started as just simple, popular songs. Then, he slipped into his own, finding his feelings and wrapping them up in what felt like a blanket of stars, handing them to the empty space around him.
