Lyra cross

I almost shouted when I heard the voice, a girl that's probably the same age as me stood in front of me, with a smile on her face, she had long black hair, with doe eyes, her hair was decorated with ribbons, alot of ribbons.

She was a bit taller than I was, she had a lean figure she was dressed in a tight black jeans with a black crop top just like the one I was wearing, just that her's had "Fuck u" boldly written in the front, she also had a lot of piercings, one on her nose, another on her lower lip and almost three on her ear and one on her brow.

From how she dressed and how she looked it's quite obvious she is fierce, she was even giving a gangster vibe.

"Rina" she muttered stretching her hand, I wiped my clammy hands on my short before I took her hand, "Lyra" I said shaking her hand.

Her smile grew wider "Nice to meet you twinie" she muttered, "twinie?" I questioned confused.

"Yeah Rina and Lyra, it sounds like twin names and also we are already Roomies so why not be twins" she said her voice full of excitement, I couldn't hope but laugh at her childish behavior.

She is the perfect definition of don't judge a book by its cover, if I hadn't spoken to her I would have really continued thinking she is fierce and arrogant.

"You are more childish than I am" I responded remembering how my mom always shouted that I am childish, if only she could meet Rina.

She giggled shyly before she removed her hand from my grip "that's why we are twins" she whispered shyly tugging her hair behind her ear.

With this roomie around I certainly won't get lonely, "come" she called dragging me to her bed, she sat me down before she also sat down close to me.

"So I will briefly introduce myself then you will follow" she declared, I nodded in understanding "My name is Rina Ellison, I am 18 turning 19 next month" she squealed when she said that, "I am here to study Art and design, I live with my parents and two elder brothers" she added.

She looked at me her eyes filled with expectation, I chuckled before I began "so I am lyra cross, I turned 18 last month, I am majoring in Business, I live with my mom, I don't have any siblings" I released a breath after the long introduction.

She nodded grinning "we will continue getting to know each other along the way" she stated.

I smiled back at her genuinely, she has just cheered me up, I watched her as she continued speaking about siblings, I was sleepy but I don't think I will be able to sleep anytime soon with her around.

I woke up around six and immediately got ready for class, I have a class by eight, I woke Rina up after I was done getting ready, "I don't have any class now till two in the afternoon" she whispered before she went back to sleep.

I myself was sleepy because yesterday we both didn't sleep till past midnight, Rina just won't shut up, she even told me stories about her childhood.

I will really enjoy having this girl as my roommate, she is the most cheerful person I have ever met in my life.

I yawned just wanting to go back to sleep, but I knew I couldn't miss my first class, I wore a blue baggy jeans, with a white buttoned crop top, I took my black tote bag, placing my phone and books into it.

"I am going to class now.." I said while exiting the room, I don't even know if she heard me, I slowly closed the door behind me not wanting to wake her up.

I reached the building in no time, I stopped and started checking my phone to see if I am at the right venue, students walked past me each dressed in expensive clothes, they all walked with there heads held up high as if they own the world.

They radiated that aura and confidence of leaders, while here I am, my hands trembling from just walking in a crowd of students.

I confirmed it was the building, I entered the building still looking at my phone, suddenly my body hid something hard sending me stumbling back.

I looked up realizing I clashed into someone not a wall, "I am so sorry" I apologized to the guy who was standing in front of me, his white shirt was tainted with the coffee he was holding in his hand.

I knew it's my fault, so I apologized before he could even blame me, I should have been looking at where I was going not scrolling through my Instagram.

The guy looked up his expression soft, I froze when I saw his face.

"I know you...." I screamed turning people's attention to me, "you are Mason, Mason Hayes" I shouted again this time walking closer to him.

He smiled a little confirming I am right "ahhh I am a big fan, I follow you on Instagram.... TikTok and X" I screamed, by now everyone's attention was on us, Mason started hiding his face so others won't recognize him.

Immediately I noticed that I removed a new mask from my bag and handed it to him, he looked at it for a while before he took in whispering a thank you.

I still couldn't believe I am standing in front of Mason Hayes, he is a popular Netflix actor, and also an influencer on social media, I have watched all his movies, I am his biggest fan.

After he was done wearing the mask he looked at me his blonde hair covering the side of his face, I looked into his beautiful hazel eyes and I couldn't stop my heart from falling in love with him.

"I have to get going, I have a class" he whispered, even through the mask I could see he is smiling, I wanted to ask for a photo and autograph, but he said he had a class, so I just nodded feeling disappointed.

"I will see you around then....." He drawled waiting for me to say my name "Lyra, lyra cross" I said happily.

He nodded before he walked past me, I composed myself still smiling like a fool before I headed for my class.

I saw the lecturer was still in the class, so I quietly pushed the door and entered, "Good morning sir" I greeted, "morning" he responded without sparing me a glance.

I slowly turned looking around for a seat, I froze when my eyes landed on him, he had that wicked smirk on his face, he whispered something in the ear of the guy close to him and immediately the guy stood up and sat on the only empty seat.

he slowly started patting the only empty seat next to him.....
