Story writed by: Rhynox
Jamel was calm of earlier discussions, was looking his left hand when hears a cough of the driver, your eyes are led, for a moment, until it. Was a raccoon, only that he could not see much because her vision does not was the best, but one could say that in size, it was low, why he could hardly see his head on the seat of the car.
They walked and stopped many times. However, downtime greater was than that they traveled, and one of them, already gone five minutes when he hears the raccoon say:
"Block D, right?"
"Huh?"
"The address ... Block D of the University of Gardenia, right?"
"Ah! It is! "Said Jamel hitting his forehead."We're already coming?"
"With this traffic jam? Only in one hour and a half or maybe two hours! "
"What!?" Jumped the bank's wide-eyed Jamel. "I do not have much time! You cannot go another way?"
"Impossible. We're stuck here! "
"I can't believe think I'll be late for my first day." Said Jamel covering his eyes with his hand.
Two hours later...
"We are still here!" shouted Jamel looking the traffic the window.
"Look on the bright side ..."
"What?" said Jamel looking at the Raccoon.
"... Can I connect the radio to pass the time." Said the taxi driver laughing at the end.
"A taxi driver with a sense of humor that I deserve more?" Murmured Jamel.
"I turn on the radio??"
"Go! At least I try to forget ... "Jamel said rolling his eyes.
Jamel hears the driver searching in many different radio stations until it stops in one of the country music, the taxi driver sighs and says:
"A Good music to relax the mind."
"Country!?" He returns to hit on the forehead. "Holy shit! This is a nightmare! "
*********************************************
After another hour, the flow of cars on the track became smaller and the driver managed to reach the University City and then the building. The car stops. He had already paid the race when had descended from the car and picked up his two suitcases.
Turning to the building, Jamel only missed kissing the ground of relief by getting out of the taxi, but, he controlled himself, looked at his new residence until it says aloud:
"I think it will not be that bad ..."
He was partly right, Jamel came previously for the recognition of the building and, especially, the bedrooms. Simple, but organized, the building had a series of post boxes coupled the walls of the corridor from the entrance to the building for each bedroom, one laundry. Some dormitories had two bedrooms for two students each and one bathroom in each, however, not followed standard in all rooms, with a basic structure for the study, with a table and one stand to accommodate the objects and book, wardrobe and one small kitchen. Nothing as luxurious, but something helps in the day-to-day.
Jamel entered the building, after a few steps down the corridor, passed the mail and arrived at the reception that was empty, he looks around and sees only two empty aisles, he put the bags on the floor and leans at the counter waiting for someone, waits for some minutes, when a figure appears from behind the counter. The shock was inevitable, making him jump back, his eyes move in the direction and sees a St. Bernard wearing a brown shirt, blue pants and round glasses.
The dog sees everything and gives a smile mocked, but soon stops, after give a good look at Jamel, however, says with a happy face:
"Hello! How can I be helpful? "
"I came to pick up the keys to my dorm."
"Could I have your identity?"
"Sure."
Jamel takes a hand in his pocket and removes the wallet after taking his identity, delivery to the dog that after looking at her returns to look for him who hesitate for a moment and goes to the computer and starts typing. Jamel waits a long time until the dog says while continues to use the computer:
"I could not find your name on the computer."
"What?" Said loudly Jamel.
"I do not find you on the file."
"As there!? You must be forgetting something! "Said Jamel still loudly.
"Wait a moment ..."
Twenty minutes later ...
"I still cannot find his name. Are you here, right? "
"Sure!" Jamel nodded with confidence. "He is here in my registration form!"
"You are with her?"
"Yes!"
"Give me."
Jamel opens a suitcase and searchs, not finds, goes to second, removes everything that was inside and there was she, in an orange envelope, without thinking twice, delivery to the dog, the same returns to computer and back to type again. The process takes about ten minutes and he hears, again, the dog to say:
"Unfortunately, I could not find your name on any file, not even of the other buildings."
"What the fuck is this!?" Shouted Jamel. "Dude, are you sure you're doing all right?"
"Yes, but waits, I'll call to the central ..."
"Today is not my day anyway!" Murmured Jamel rubbing his face.
The Saint Bernard spent ten minutes on the phone until it stops and goes back to the computer, Jamel stays not understanding anything and says with an irritated voice:
"Some news!? Why am I here waiting! "
"Huh? ... Ah! Yes!"
"What then?"
"Unfortunately, your registration form has been deleted from the database ..." said the dog with a chuckle. "But, I do here, do not worry! Can you wait a few minutes? "
"What?" Shouted Jamel of bulging eyes.
"It will not take I promise!"
Jamel deep breath trying to calm down and says, raising his hand to the eyes
"Okay."
Twenty minutes later ...
Jamel was already grunting furiously when the St. Bernard goes to him and with a smile on his face, gives the documents and the keys saying:
"Well here's your keys Jamel Rhynox. Your Bedroom is the number thirty six. In the third floor, you follow this hallway that goes to the elevators or stairs if you prefer. "
"Okay, thanks." Jamel said with an arrogant face.
"Nothing."
Jamel is following the corridor indicated by the St. Bernard and there were two lifts, he went up in the elevator when says aloud:
"What most lack happen to me?"
Walking through the corridors of the third floor, searchs the room: "Thirty-one, two, three fourth, thirty-five ... Is the next!" said he aloud with some encouragement. "Thirty-six!"
He takes the key, and points to the door lock when sees the doorknob move, hesitating a little, for a moment, gives back a few steps to see what would be when the door opens and it appears a Husky.
He seemed to have less than one foot seven inches tall, not so skinny, had a hair blue to fall slightly over his forehead, wearing a white shirt and blue pants.
The dog was visibly distracted and had not seen Jamel standing. Had closed the door when turns, suddenly, hits against the body of Jamel, falling sitting at the door. He scratched his head saying with a soft voice and eyes closed:
"Sorry!"
"Nothing." Said Jamel extending his hand. "Want a hand?"
"Sure!"
The Dog opens slowly his eyes while holding the hand of Jamel that leaves him standing, gives a good look in Jamel which doesn't says nothing, however, hears the dog whisper:
"Wow! A purple Rhino..."
"Something wrong?" Snorted violently Jamel.
"N-No! N-Nothing ... Cough ... Y-You must be the... other... resident, right? "Said the Husky .
"Yes"
"Right! I'm G-Gary Springs. "Said The Husky extending his hand.
"I'm Jamel, Jamel Rhynox."
Jamel catches the hand of the dog and when tightens a little, hears the dog to say:
"Ouch! ... C-Calm down! I still need her. "
"Sorry."
"Nothing ... Is... Well ... Jamel ... W-We could talk a lot now, but I'm l-late for the meeting in the auditorium of the Director and... I think you too. "
"Yes," Jamel said nodding.
"Then put the bags in the room and come on!"
Jamel does what was said and soon after, locks the door, hurriedly leaving the building. They were walking for several minutes in the sidewalks until come into another building. Walking in the runners, watches the door of the auditorium, Gary was already with hand on the doorknob when he hears the voice of the director:
"Welcome to all to the Gardenia University! Is with..."
Gary leans against the door and screams giving a slight kick:
"Shit! There was not time! "
Jamel grunts loudly and says angrily removing him of the front:
"I'm already tired these things that are happened with me! I will not stay here out!"
"What!? Enter after the start of the speech of the director!? Hesitated Gary. "Are you crazy?"
"No." Jamel snorted with anger moving the Gary's hair. "Today, everything is against me! I will not stay here out!"
"You cannot imagine what might happen?" Said Gary closing his eyes a little.
"Maybe." Said Jamel shrugging his shoulders. "You come?"
"All right!" said Gary after a deep sigh and continued with a smile. "More you in the front."
Jamel opened the door when hears Gary to say:
"I can see what will happen: We entered, the director sees us, stops speaking, stays watching us, and then, the students ... Will be the worst embarrassment I ever had. "
Jamel rolls his eyes trying to ignore it. The door is opened and the two enter, luckily they are not seen by the director, a brown tiger wearing a black suit that walked from one side to another on stage, speaking to all the speech. Gary opens a sigh celebrating, and says watching the director:
"Now just close the door and go a chair. Be careful not to slam the door. "
Jamel nods and, slowly, will closing the door when she emits a loud pop, turning the eyes toward, notes that came from the hinges, Gary turns and says:
"What was that?"
"The door ... Never mind. "
"Right. Just close the door and let's sit. "
Closing the door, while the noise will worsening, until one of the three hinges, broke, leaving her, slightly, hanging, they suffer a scare, however, Jamel continued to hold the door quietly when Gary arrives to help desperately, saying aloud:
"We need close! "
"I know! Calm down!.
Jamel was already closing the door when Gary gives a strong push, breaking another hinge, leaving her completely warped and still falls over the same, but before he could react, Jamel secure the door leaving her standing again says, looking for him:
"Holy shit, man! Put that down! "
"Calm down!! I'm just helping! "
Gary continues to hold the door until at, after another involuntary Jerk, breaks the last hinge that door falls on foot in the floor causing a loud noise and even goes up to Jamel that retreats a few steps until at, having again the control and putting her in foot, yells:
"Put down this fucking now!"
Gary rolls her eyes, frightened, loose the door, Jamel relieved sighs, slope the door in the wall. Breathed deeply when Gary says:
"Sorry, did not realize that i was difficulting."
Jamel mumbles a little, turns and says, after take a hand on shoulder of Gary with a grin:
"Just a little."
Gary opened a shy smile when they listen the director's voice echoing everywhere saying:
"You two in the door! Ended the show or will have a bis?"
They turns and see all the auditorium were seeing them, Gary muttered aloud taking his hands to the head:
"Holy shit!"
"This day is not over!?" Whimpered Jamel while shook his head.
"I knew it!" Gary muttered high.
"Stay Calm."Whispered Jamel waving positively to the director
"Sit down. I need continue." Said the Director.
Jamel nods with the head, Gary still was with his hand on his face when Jamel says: "Come on!" Gary was not moving, then, Jamel begins to push it. While they are searching the empty chairs, could hear some laughter and rumbles of the other Students, Jamel ignored, however, Gary, every time he heard, retreated more and more behind his hand that covered the face, Jamel was looking for a minute and nothing of find the seats when they hear the director speak again :
"What the two are waiting to sit?
"What a shame!" muttered high Gary.
Jamel looks from side to side rubbing his horn and back to look at the director, extending the arms, The Director sighs deeply in the microphone and says pointing to front:
"There are chairs here! Come! Sit here! "
The two had been sitting in the chairs when, the director, cough and says:
"Well... After this interruption ... where we left off? ... Mmm ... Well .. Ah!... The university plans to the entry of you, are the best possible. And now, the cycle of studies begin for you... "
Jamel listens patiently the speech when realizes Gary whispering low, he gives his attention, but cannot distinguish what was and asked covertly:
"What happens?"
"N-nothing ..."
"Says..." Jamel said with a calm voice.
"B-Well ... after this, I bet we will be the laughing stock for all.. Along with a thematic surname... "
"Be sure of it!" said Jamel laughing a little. "But ... Have you looked at me? "
"Huh? What? "Said Gary turned his face toward you.
"I am a full plate for this. Have you ever seen a Purple Rhino in life? "
"Well .. I think ... No. "
"So! I've always was the target these things throughout the school time! " Said Jamel laughing a little and continued after blink. "I'm sure will be the same here! If that what happened go worse or not, I am not connecting."
Gary laughed a little and Jamel the continued saying:
"Why bother with it?" You have only to show that it is better than them. "
"But it is not so easy to pretend to ignore." Said Gary lowering his head.
"But I don't said it would be easy." Said Jamel retreating to his hand and continued to tell after leans on the chair and looking at the ceiling. "However, allow that you to be affected by this is wrong."
"All Right." Gary nodded.
And so they both hear the speech of the director.
******************************************
Half an hour later ...
The speech ends and all are released, Jamel and Gary were standing, when they see the looks on them, however, the dog sees that were more targeted to the roommate who did not even care, Jamel begins to walk when he hears the whispers and laughters again, not resist and goes laughing to the door saying, "I knew I would not get rid of this!". Was already coming the door when he feels something touch him on his back, turning, sees Gary stopped scratching his head, he crossed his arms when hears:
"Where you going?"
"For the Bedroom. Unload the bags... Sleep... Today is being hard to me."
Gary put his hands back and, rubbing her foot on the floor with his head down, say:
"Want to walk across campus?"
Jamel takes his hand to his chin and, thinking, looks at the ceiling of the auditorium, seconds after, says nodding:
"Come on! It can't get worse! "
"So let's go." Said Gary Smiling.
Exploring the campus, Jamel and Gary looks all in the way, meanwhile Jamel was almost the center of attention, Cody continued to see this, but he saw that your roommate doesn't care, even up with the jokes. They were going through the cafeteria when says:
"Jamel ..."
"Yes?"
"Well you said."
"What?"
"About the Jokes."
"Yeah!" said Jamel laughing a little.
"But ... You do not think of doing anything? "
Jamel stops walk and says:
"Look around. What could I do to stop them ? Scream? Fight? ... No. I cannot stop anyone from doing what want. I will act normally, but if this becomes too aggressive. I have to react. "
"Ok.."
They walk a little and Jamel back to say:
"And you? I bet you said or thought something." said Jamel laughing a little
"What? I?" said Gary opening his eyes. "N-No! N-Nothing!"
"Why not?" Said Jamel giving a slap on the back of the dog and continued. "Go ahead. I will not do anything. "
"Mmm ... All right. "Said Gary shrugging his shoulders and continued. "I found a strange purple Rhinoceros."
Jamel laughs, infecting the dog smiling sheepishly, he takes his hand to the shoulder of the Husky and says with a cheerful voice:
"I knew! It's hard not to have at least one comment!"
The two laugh a little until at Jamel says, making a cuddle from Gary:
"Until at the pup is cool!"
Gary laughs a lot , they were already coming to the sidewalk when closes the signal, leaving the cars to pass. Gary is released, but falls in sidewalk, laughing, Jamel looked at him when Gary sees something on the track and points to it. Jamel turns his head toward and realizes that had a large puddle of water near him, he would try to get away when he hears a car coming at high speed, he had already placed the back foot when the vehicle passes over the puddle, playing all the water on him.
All drenched, Jamel grunts loudly, some students who were across the street, saw everything and falls into a great laugh confused. Cody was standing when Jamel screams furiously while walks back to his bedroom:
"I am tired! ALl is happening to me! For me, this day finishes now. I go to my room! "
Gary takes his hand to his head and says:
"What?"
He gets some time looking Jamel walking furiously when decides to follow him.
It took several minutes until at Jamel reaches the door of his dormitory. Enters, grabs their bags and leads to the bedroom when Gary arrives saying:
"Jamel. Why are you so angry? "
Jamel stops at the bedroom door and says:
"Man, if were only thing that had happened to me, all right, but not is!" Said Jamel, Opening the door and continued. "I'll sleep to see if it passes."
"But ..." said Gary raising the finger.
"See you tomorrow!" Interrupted Jamel, closing the door.
Gary rolls her eyes, retreating slightly, says while leaves the room to walk in the campus:
"Wow! Nervous it. Better sleep in another room today "
Jamel puts the bags on the floor, opens, gets a towel and goes to a quick bath, returning to the bedroom, put a gray shorts and lies down in bed. Looking at the Ceiling, says, after rubbing his face and before going to sleep:
"What day..."
