This was awful.
She hated her roommate. So effing much.
Jemima was having a nice internet chat with some corrupt people, when all of the sudden her slut roomie comes in with three guys, all four of them drunk off their asses. She could barely understand the actual words she said, but obviously it was along the lines of 'get out, we're not wating for you' because they didn't wait. She took her laptop out in the hall to escape.
But she could still hear them. She was surprised the neighbors weren't coming out to see what was going on. The worst part is this would probably continue all night, and she'd be stuck in the hall.
Wait! Maybe not!
That Jamie kid who was totally adorable had invited Jemima over. And he was watching The Lion King, her second favorite Disney movie (her first being Pinocchio). But. Going to some guys room might end badly. Though he didn't seem like that kind of guy at all... and if Cleo knew him, he had to be legit, right?
That wasn't the only thing making Jemima hesitant. The other thing was the supervisor. A total bitch and had the ears of a hawk. And Jemima wasn't sneaky, especially with her laptop on her. She begged someone to come rescue her.
And whaddya know? Jamie said he was on his way. Thank god.
So she waited, trying to tune out the inappropriate noise with a quiet little humming. But honestly it wasn't working.
Please hurry.

Jamie felt like a secret agent man getting past that one supervisor lady. It was so weird just randomly inviting so stranger into his dorm to watch a movie. She did seem desperate though and Jamie could use someone to quote the movie with. Plus Cleo knew the girl so she had to be awesome. Jamie tiptoed through the building and rolled into J’s hallway. He fixed his beanie and strolled down the hall like it was nothing. That was until he heard the lady again. Hide, hide! Jamie ran out the door again and peeked out a few times waiting for her to leave. All he really needed was background music to make this perfect. He went through the door again and let the James Bond theme song play in his head. Now to find Jemima.
What did she look like? Jamie really couldn’t tell from the icon on his chatbox. He guessed she’d mostl likely be sitting up against the wall waiting for him. Jamie looked forward and his foot caught on the edge of something. “Oh sh-mm,” Jamie said as his face hit carpet. He got up and saw a startled girl looking at him funny. Next to her was a laptop. Most likely the thing he tripped on. Could that be… “J? It’s Jamie…here to rescue you!” He said through the almost silence. He could definitely hear those noises now. Gross.

Damn.
Jemima just realized what she looked like, and a guy was coming to rescue her. Her hair was up messily, she had a loose-fitting grey shirt on, ....and her "Come to the dark side, we have cookies" pajama shorts. Not to mentions her grey slipperboots.
Though, weighing the option of staying like this or going back in her room, she decided to stay like this. From the sound of it, it wasn't worth going back inside. Besides, it could be worse. It could be a lot worse.
Then someone rounded the corner. She looked around desperately for an excuse to tell the supervisor, when all of the sudden the figure... faceplanted. Jemima looked at him funny and resisted the human urge to burst out laughing.
Besides, he had tripped over her laptop, the most expensive thing she owned. All was good, though.
"Yeah, it's J. Thank God you're here!" she said in a hushed tone. She could finally get the hell out of here.
OUTFIT. TOTES CHIC&FABOO.

Jamie stared at the girl. She looked like a damsel in distress. He felt more like a knight now than a ninja or a CIA agent. He couldn’t really describe her. She just seemed perfectly helpless. Or innocent and sweet or something. He bet her puppy dog eyes could move mountains. She was sitting there looking up at him in her PJs waiting for him to say something. He just wanted to scoop her up like a wounded baby bunny and take her far away from here. Her roomie was so mean! How could she kick poor little J out like that? Well, no worries, Jamie was here to save her!“I got here as fast as I could!” he whispered excitedly after a few seconds. He hoped she thought he was catching his breath or something. He reached his hand down to her and pulled her up. “Let’s get out of here before your brain explodes,” he said making a face. All those sounds reminded him of things he didn’t want to be reminded of. He looked both ways for the supervisor and lead J out the front door. He almost continued walking until he realized… J was wearing slippers.
“Wait… can you walk on the street in those things? I mean, I, like could um carry you,” he mumbled rubbing the back of his neck. She was so tiny. She couldn’t weight more than like ninety pounds.

"Thank you so much! Oh goodness, he was adorable. Look at his glasses and beanie! Her hero!
Good piece of wood, too.
Okay... she had absolutely no idea where that came from. It was just a random little thought that popped in her head. But she forgot about it as he pulled her up. She closed her laptop and scooped it up in one arm.
"Yeah, it's close to that point now." She made a face matching his adorable one. She was ready to go until he paused.
“Wait… can you walk on the street in those things? I mean, I, like could um carry you."
Oh... right. She was wearing slippers. She wouldn't have a problem with walking normally, but...
"It would complete the whole 'hero' thing, wouldn't it?" she laughed, reaching her arms out to be picked up. Jemima was halfway joking, but if he legit wanted to carry her, he could. Which would surprise her, but not offend her.
Yeah, her feet would get all hurt and she wouldn't be able to walk on concrete. That's what she would tell herself.

“No problem! I love rescue missions,” Jamie whispered looking around some more. The girl’s dorm was not what expected. He thought there would be pink everywhere and decorations all over the walls of flowers or something. But it was just the dingy white walls like in his dorm. Weird. It even sounded the same.
Speaking of sounds, the ones coming from poor J’s dorm were getting louder. Jamie sped up his pace to get away and tried to fill the silence. “I can’t believe your roomie! You should move some place else or something. I would,” he said. Poor J, like she was so adorable. That roomie must have no soul.
"It would complete the whole 'hero' thing, wouldn't it?"
“Yeah,” Jamie admitted. He made a crooked smile and picked J up. He was right. She was as light as a cricket. Wait… a cricket? Where did that come from? “You’re so small! I don’t think I could drop you even if I wanted to. Not that I want to or anything.” Jamie began to walk down the sidewalk. It was pretty dark out but there was still a ton of noise. Not that there won’t be in the city that never sleeps. “So… you ready to watch Disney? I’ll start it over for you. My roomie finally left so we’ll hopefully have no interruptions.”

"Well, I'm kind of enjoying being rescued right now, so," she said, smiling. It was true.
She matched his pace, being as silent as possible without slipping. Somehow her slippers liked to slide on this carpet, which didn't make sense, but whatever.
"I've asked to be moved, but they're still 'processing my request' or whatever," she rolled her eyes, obviously frustrated with the officials.
Jemima had to admit- it was weird being picked up by a stranger. But he didn't feel like a stranger at all. She had known him in person for about five minutes and already she felt like she's known him for years. Already he felt like her best friend, and already she felt like she needed to protect him. Well, not protect him so much as keep hom out of danger in the first place.
And she totally trusted a guy that was carrying her to his room.
She laughed at the small thing. Jemima was tall, but so scrawny that it didn't matter. It was weird seeing the city from this angle as well. "Well thank you for not dropping me," she said with a laugh.
"I'm always ready to watch Disney," she smiled. "Thanks for starting it over. You don't have to do that if you were far in, though."
God, she wasn't even worried about the 'no interruptions' comment that could have had deeper meanings.
"So, how do you know Cleo?" she asked, having been curious about that.

Jamie smiled at J. She was totally awesome. Like seriously, they should do this everyday. Well not everyday because it would get boring. Kinda like drinking with his roomie every weekend. Bleh.
"I've asked to be moved, but they're still 'processing my request' or whatever."
“Well that sucks,” Jamie pouted. He looked down at J and felt this weird connection with her. Like literally maybe they had met before… He really felt like they had been friends since kindergarden or something. Wait, did he even have friends in kindergarden? That was so long ago….
"Well thank you for not dropping me."
“You’re welcome.” Jamie laughed and crossed the street. His dorm building was dimly lit in the front but he had the campus map memorised. His RA was pretty chill so most likely he wouldn’t Jamie bringing a girl into the dorms. Still, it was more fun to sneak. "I'm always ready to watch Disney," she smiled. "Thanks for starting it over. You don't have to do that if you were far in, though."
“Oh it’s fine. My favorite part is singing at the beginning anyway,” Jamie said matter of factly. She really liked Disney too! He should totally tell her about his dream and everything. He stepped into the building and looked around before continuing towards his dorm. People in the hallway were giving him funny looks but Jamie really didn’t mind. He found his room at the end of the hall and set J down. He pulled out his key and—
"So, how do you know Cleo?"
Jamie dropped his key and frowned as he picked it up. How should he explain it? Just keep it simple. “We used to… date. But we’re just friends now,” Jamie mumbled in a low voice. The door swung open and Jamie went back to smiling. “Welcome to my humble abode! Beanbag chair?” he asked pointing to a bright green one.

“Oh it’s fine. My favorite part is singing at the beginning anyway."
Oh god, he was so adorable! Seriously, he was one of the cutest guys she had ever met. Ever. Already she felt comfortable with him. Oooh, she just wanted to tackle hug him and cuddle him and-
“We used to… date. But we’re just friends now,”
Oh.
Ohhhh.
Instantly, her mood fell. She was standing now, but slumped over a little bit. Oh, why did everything have to be so damn complicated? This made everything all the more difficult.
But Jemima couldn't show him she was so glum, so she stood up straight and forced a smile on her face. She stepped inside the dorm. "Oooh, I would love a beanbag chair!" she said, smiling at him and plopping down. "Comfy. Thank you!"
It was awful how good she could fake happiness.

"Oooh, I would love a beanbag chair! Comfy. Thank you!"
Jamie did a half smile and plopped down on the blue beanbag next to J. He put his computer on his bed and started the movie. “Sorry it’s messy. My roommate is a total slob,” he said pointing to the bed behind them. “Luckily he’s not here now…or he’d be drunk as a skunk.” Jamie got up and opened the mini fridge. “Soda? I can make popcorn too if you’d like…”
Something was off. J didn’t look that happy. Well, she looked happy but Jamie got the sense that it wasn’t real. How did he even know this? He’d only known her for like ten minutes. It was that weird connection wasn’t it? Oh well, either way he’d have to cheer her up before the movie. Jamie jumped back onto the couch and began his amazing ability to ramble. The annoying preview that you never seemed to be able to skip were rolling anyway. “Have you ever seen the Lion king on Broadway? It’s so awesome. You know I’m thinking about majoring in Theatrics and moving to California to become a character at Disneyland? They actually get paid a lot and plus you get to sing and be in Disneyland! I’ve actually never been but it sounds awesome and stuff.” Jamie took a sip of the Coke and waited for J to smile for real. Hopefully it would work. If not, he’d needed a plan B.
notes:Jamie is on a miiiissiiiooon xD

“Sorry it’s messy. My roommate is a total slob.”
"Well let's not compare roommates," she joked, rolling her eyes. Her roommate was a total slob, too, not to mention the other things she did. This wasn't the only night she was forced out into the hall. It was just that she was rescued this time. That was simple, right?
But her rescuer had dated Cleo.
Oh, what was she saying? Just because he was her hero doesn't mean they had to like fall in love. She could deal with them just being friends, right?
Right?
“Soda? I can make popcorn too if you’d like…”
"I would love a soda, please." Jemima smiled, realizing that she had frowned while thinking. "But I dunno about popcorn..." Popcorn was so easily burnt, and burnt popcorn made her throw up. Well he wouldn't burn it. "But, I mean, if you want to make some, that's cool." She pretended to be distracted by the previews that she had seen multiple times.
"You know, I haven't seen it on Broadway! I've always wanted to see a Broadway show. I guess I haven't been in New York long enough to really get a chance to..." That was definately on her bucket list, to see a Broadway show. "That would be perfect, being a character at Disneyland! I've never been either. Being a small-town girl, and all. I didn't get out much..."

"Well let's not compare roommates,"
“Right, I think you’ve won the prize for that one,” he said trying to make it into a joke. And now J was frowning. Jamie couldn’t have his fair maiden frowning! That meant he was like a total failure on his knight in shining armour duties. Quick, think of something! He put a bag of popcorn in his itty bitty microwave and pressed start. While that was popping he grabbed a soda and sat back down on his beanbag chair. “Here, have a grape soda. It’s guranteed to make you giggle hysterically… and turn your tongue purple!” Jamie grinned and handed the soda bottle to J.
"You know, I haven't seen it on Broadway! I've always wanted to see a Broadway show. I guess I haven't been in New York long enough to really get a chance to..."
“Oh my gosh, you have to see a Broadway show. They’re fricking amazing! Like everything is just awesome!” He said remember the few he’d gone to with his dad before they went broke. The sets and costumes were always amazing!
"That would be perfect, being a character at Disneyland! I've never been either. Being a small-town girl, and all. I didn't get out much..."
“Right? Well, when I work there I’ll send you a free ticket.” Jamie smiled and the microwave went off. Just in time too; the movie was about to start! He jumped up and grabbed the bag. “Oh, where are you from?” He opened the bag and put it in the center of the two beanbags. Right as the song began to play, he sang along. The Lion King was awesome. No doubt about that.

Oh. My. God.
How the hell did he know that she absoluetely positively loved grape soda? She remembered back in her hometown, she had gone down to the gas station about every morning to get one before school or wherever else she was going that day. Though when she got here, they never really had the kind she liked. But this was her favorite brand!
"Thank you! she said, grinning before she even took a drink, forgetting all about whatever was making her glum a moment ago. "I love grape soda!"
“Oh my gosh, you have to see a Broadway show. They’re fricking amazing! Like everything is just awesome!”
"Really? I'll have to go to one sometime." If she ever got the time, that is. College was a very important thing to Jemima, and she invested nearly all of her time into it. Doing homework, studying, anything she could go make she she got out of here with something worth all that time.
“Right? Well, when I work there I’ll send you a free ticket.”
Jemima was just about to say 'thank you' when the microwave went off. She jumped a little, to be honest. "I'm from Trenton, Georgia. A very, very small town with not much to do."
Then he started singing with the movie. Why was he so damn adorable? She laughed, unable to sing along because she was sure she would break something glass in the nearby area.

"Thank you! I love grape soda!"
Jamie did a mental fist pump as J’s cute smile came back. Success! He imagined running around the field like after a touch down and highfiving everybody. It was a pretty funny image because never in his life had Jamie played football. He grabbed a handful of popcorn and began mooching away at the buttery goodness. He had no idea how people could eat popcorn without butter. It just wasn’t the same.
"I'm from Trenton, Georgia. A very, very small town with not much to do."
“Georgia? I’ve never been. Actually I’ve never really left the city. I totally wish I could though. And small towns are nice. Everyone knows each other and trusts each other,” Jamie rambled. It wasn’t that he didn’t like New York, it was just that he didn’t really like bad things happening. It seemed like less bad things happened when there were less people around you.
Jamie smiled when J laughed. She totally had the cutest laugh ever. He would have told her that but he didn’t want to interupt the movie. He couldn’t help but snicker when the animals bowed thinking of Lion King 1½. Maybe they could watch that next if J’s roommate was still… busy. “How long do you thing your roommate will be?” he asked.

“Georgia? I’ve never been. Actually I’ve never really left the city. I totally wish I could though. And small towns are nice. Everyone knows each other and trusts each other,”
"Oh, trust me, there is the occasional scandal here and there..." Jemima smiled, not allowing herself to get worked up about senior year and her psychology teacher and all that. "And if you're invovled in anything that upsets the status quo you get shunned or just funny looks for like the rest of your life, so." Which is why she had gotten out of there. She hadn't done anything, yet everybody acted as if she were the one to start that whole ridiculous...thing.
But she laughed anyways. She could play it off as a joke, right? It had been about a year and a half. "Yeah, nothing like the city at all..."
Jamie had snickered at the part where the animals bowed. Jemima didn't understand how that was funny, seeing as she never saw 1 1/2. She didn't want to be rude... but she wanted to know. "What's so funny? she asked in a polite tone.
“How long do you thing your roommate will be?”
Oh, god. There was no telling how long she would be. There were three guys in there. "They were quite obviously wasted, so they'll probably just pass out sooner or later." She rolled her eyes. Stupid roommates.
