SHINJI'S POV

The next day  came
sunlight streamed through my curtains
it bathed me in blinding light
it
was as if it didn't care
about others
secure about itself, and happy.
-

I began to get myself ready
and I grabbed some yogurt
I did not
want to deal with asuka
and- My thoughts were cut off by the realization

i'll be late.

I arrived at college
it was overwhelming with this much people
everywhere but nowhere
at the same time.

I looked at the other building
wondering what it was for
it was big and tall
with windows all over

I looked ahead, away from it
running into school,
I got to my homeroom in time

"Today class, we will be sorting out our dormatories!"
she paused.
"There will be two to three people in each dorm. don't be sad if you don'f get paired with your best friend!"

The
teacher
said

The class went wild
hooting with joy or scowling and booing
I spotted Kaworu beside me
a blank and shallow expression on his bored face

I looked away
and listened for the names

....Hikari!"
Teacher paused, and started again
"...Shinji and Kaworu will be sharing dormatories."
she said

I went silent
not a word
as silent as the still chairs
as silent as the graveyard.

I looked at Kaworu,
he was looking elsewhere
staring into the abyss of somewhere
or
something.

He'll soon see
how ugly I am
how selfish
I
don't want to be his
roomate
