Welcome back to the Hump Day madness we all know and love:) Click the link for the other participating authors.
Today I'm taking you back to the 1st day of college; the day you meet your roommate(s) and wonder if you'll get along. Enjoy!

The door to 135 stood ajar and Elicia could hear music
playing. Elicia gathered her courage and pushed open the door to slight chaos.
On one side of the room, Van Halen rocked from a large boom box as a short,
brown-haired girl stood on a chair, taping posters on the wall. On the other
side, a tall, slim, blonde-haired girl hung clothes in her closet. A cooler of
soft drinks stood open on an empty desk. Elicia checked both sides of the room
wondering which side would be the better choice. The blonde girl caught her
eye.
“Hi, I’m Gretchen McLaren.” She shoved her shoulder length
hair out of her eyes. “Are you Stephanie or Alicia?”
“Elicia. It’s spelled with an E.” Why couldn’t my parents have named me
something easy to pronounce?
“I see. Whew, I guess this is semi-awkward. Keri! Elicia’s
arrived.” Gretchen darted past her to the other side and soon Van Halen
silenced.
“Hi, I’m Keri Patterson. Come on in and make yourself at
home.” The girl climbed down from the chair. “The burning question…do you want
the bed by the window or the hallway?”
Elicia wavered only an instant. She had spoken to Gretchen; she’d start on her side of the room. “I’ll take the window.”

Great hook, well done!
Hopefully they'll get along as roommates.
Are they good roomies, or bad I wonder? Nicely done.
Ooohhh... tough choice! :)
Interesting characters they seem different enough to either get along or kill each other. I wonder who will take the hallway's bed now.
Thank you:) Linda, Stephanie ends up with the final bed.
good hook!
Thanks Cathy:)
