[BCOLOR=transparent]Eric was mostly bored by Cy's complaining but it didn't bother him too much. Though the other room mate clearly did. He had lashed out at Cy, who now only seemed all the more annoyed.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"I hope that you do realise that his complaining isn't a good thing but your anger is certainly a bad thing," said Eric, correcting their newest addition. "There's no need to start shouting at anyone or getting annoyed. After all, we will be spending the next year or more as roommates together. Now. To the most important thing of all: Introductions."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Sure," said Shan. "I'm Snappy, he's Whiny and your Sarky. Now can I have some quiet time?"[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Hey," complained Cy. "I'm not Whiny."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Eric just shook his head. "The bed by the window is yours, you've already put your suitcase underneath it. [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]Whiny [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]here claimed the first bed and I took the one by the door when I arrived. I guess that it's quiet time now."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Fine," said Shan singularly.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Fine," replied Eric.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Fine," chided in Cy.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]They all sat, well Shan stood, uncomfortably for a while. The silence was long and drawn out, not to mention awkward. It was some time before any of them even moved. Eventually they were all growing bored and impatient.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Soooo," began Eric, drawing out the single word. "What shall we all do?" He fell silent again shortly afterwards and no one answered the question. "No suggestions then. I guess we can just sit here do nothing all day."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] "So exactly what he's used to doing."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Come on, you've been nothing but angry since we got here," said Eric. "What's the deal? Just because some rich kid whined about his money not buying him a better room." Cy nodded.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"I'm angry because I've have to work, and bleed, and give everything just to get into this damn school!" shouted Shan. "Where as you two just bitch about not getting a damn level three room." [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"I don't have to listen to this," said Cy as he stood up.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Where are you going?" asked Eric after Cy.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Out," Cy replied. "Clothes shopping. Something that my money can by. Beats listening to this one shout about being poor and all of that crap." He turned back around to face Shan. "You know, some poor people are grateful for they get. You had ought to try it." He left the room and slammed the door behind him.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"So that was Cy," said Eric, finally getting around to a proper introduction.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Shan scoffed at that. "What do I care what his name is?"[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Call me old fashioned but I think that you should know someone's name before you give them hassle over something so trivial."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Oh! Of course you think not being born to a rich family is [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]trivial[/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]," Shan scoffed.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"And I'm Eric. At least know my name before you assign the blame." said Eric, his voice betraying a hint of sarcasm. "Besides, I wasn't born to a rich family either, barely managed to get into this school on a scholarship."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Sorry, I just assumed…" Shan began to say before being cut off.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"No need to apologise," said Eric. "I've been there. Angry at the nobles for, well for everything. But you won't change everything by shouting whenever some snot-nosed kid can't get what he wants. You just need to prove them wrong. Prove that people like you and me can still do anything that they can. You've made it this far, proven that you can get into this school with better grades than half of the other students just to qualify."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"I'm giving you a new name," said Shan. "You're no longer Snarky. You're just a know-it-all."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Great, I'm a know-it-all," said Eric. "And who are you? Besides Snappy."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Shan sighed. "I'm Shan, Shan Feng."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Well it's a pleasure to meet you," said Eric.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Mmm." That was Shan had to say for further greetings and pleasantries.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"If only everyone was as kind as that Eddie girl," commented Eric from under his breath.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"What was that?" asked Shan.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Nothing."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]They sat in silence again, neither saying a word more. Finally Eric grew bored and stood up to leave. He paced across the small room before opening the door.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Where are you going?" asked Shan.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"To look around," answered Eric. "Dont really know the campus so I figured that I would check it out. Got a problem with that?"[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"No," answered Shan flatly.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Good. See you later then." He left and closed the door behind him. After a few moments, he found Shan at his heels.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] "Got nothing better to do," Shan said, a smirk rolling over the corner of his mouth. "Let's take a look around, know it all."[/BCOLOR]
