The Dorm Room

Brie Carson was cute in the nerdy kind of way she was about 5’7” with long auburn hair pulled into a pony tail that hung to her lower back. She looked out at the world through eyes of jade behind thin framed glasses. Her slender body was covered by a loose fitting t shirt and shorts. She was nervous about this whole college thing, she was 19 and this was her first time away from home.

Brie had graduated Valedictorian of her class and had earned a number of scholarships. Her acceptance into the University of South Carolina made her parents proud. Majoring in Paleontology with a secondary of Biology her schedule was going to be filled with some heady classes. She had wandered the campus getting familiar with it and eventually came to her dorm. She only had a small bag with her as her parents would bring her other stuff later.

As she approached the door she stopped a sudden wave of nerves hitting her. Finally steeling her nerves she walked into the dorm and was greeted with a group of girls in the common room all huddled around a table laughing and carrying on with a card game that she didn’t know. She looked around the common room seemed like an oversized living room with chairs spaced around the room and a large couch along one wall. The back wall had a hallway leading away toward the rooms and on the right side was an office. After a moment Brie went to the office and knocked on the door a voice from the other side “Enter”. Brie opened the door and found herself entering a small office with a desk some file cabinets and a couple of folding chairs in front of the desk. Behind the desk was a woman with long blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was full bodied and drew whistles and stares from many men even though she wasn’t a runway model. Tammy Lindstrom had graduated years before and did her internship for counseling in the dorms. After a couple of years she decided to stay on as the dorm counselor to assist with new students adjusting or whatever problems any of the girls may have had.

Tammy looked up at the girl that was in the doorway “Can I help you?”. Brie was a little nervous by this whole transition but stepped inside the office “Hi I am Brie Carson I was told that I was to come here for a room.”. Tammy nodded and pointed to one of the chairs “I have been expecting you please sit.” She then reached for a folder on the side of her desk and handed it over to Brie “Inside this folder are the rules and other documents you need, such as a list of administrators and other information. Do you mind sharing a room?”. Brie took the folder and opened it glancing at some of the papers and handbook. She thought about the question before answering “No I don’t mind sharing but I would prefer a single room if one is available.”.

Tammy looked down at her desk a moment and let out a sigh “We have a single room but nobody really stays in it. The girls that have stayed in the room swear its haunted having experienced some kind of weird events. It has been empty for months.” Brie considered what she heard and was skeptical she didn’t believe in ghosts and such. Most events that people experience can be explained. “That sounds great I will take the room.”. Reluctantly Tammy stood up “Ok follow me.”. Tammy led Brie down the hall to a final room on the right. She opened the door and turned on the light. Brie stepped in the room it was clean but had the air of emptiness to it. There was a bed, desk and chair, dresser, and a cabinet that would function as a locker of sorts. The air in the room was cool, Brie turned to Tammy “This is awesome I love it.”. Tammy smiled slightly “It’s yours then. If you need anything I will be in my office till 7 tonight.
