The door is easy to spot, so there's not much trouble when it comes to finding dorm number 139. Painted a pale teal-sky blue colour, the door looks quite plain. Until you notice the navy smiley face stickers plastered all over the large piece of wood. The doorknob is gold, and there is a light grey wood sign that has the words 'Melanie Demarco's dorm. Knock or get lost.' in deep blue paint thrown on messily with glue. But as soon as you walk in, you can tell that Melanie is a regular girl.Short, but comfortable deep blue carpet coats the floor, and the walls are painted a very light, almost soft white, pale blue. Near the ceiling, there are wavy lines in different shades of the deep blue the carpet is. They are similar to waves, and are quite lovely. But, then again, if you look closely at the walls, you can see a slight bit of grease. Probably from chips or something equally greasy and unheathy. But what?
That question is answered if you look at the floor near the bed. Chip bags. Popcorn bags. All types of [empty] junk food bags and such litter her more-of-a-living area. That area being her bed area and around it. You can also see tons of pop cans and stained coffee mugs. Obviously, this girl has insomnia or something of the sort. But for the most part, the floor is clean and vaccumed.
Her bed is quite interesting. Beige, silk sheets adorn it and at the top, small square pillows to match. The bed itself is a white-like coloured wood. The bed is up slightly high for drawers underneath. At the corners are matching bedposts, and go very high. Hooks are attached, which will make you wonder if a canopy can be attached. Which it can. A rolled up, see-through teal cloth is at the end of the bottom posts, sagging ever so slightly. At the ends, you can still see small, grey tastles hanging. Also, scattered across the bed are many, many plushies. Bears, bunnies, elephants... all a different shade of blue, and about 20 of them. Except for about 10 others. These different ones are obviously anime plushies; ranging from quite a few. And then, under the bed in the drawers are unwanted sketchbooks, old lyrics and many other various papers including novels. One specific drawer had 'DON'T TOUCH' written in dark blue, almost black paint. But inside are love letters, dirty romance novels, and many things Melanie would try to hide away from the human eye. And... What's this? A CARE BEAR plushie? Well, who cares. Just don't mention it to Melanie.
In this seemingly underwater dorm room, there is also awkward furniture. Such as Yoga-like mats, large pillows and beanbag chairs. The yoga-like mats were very similar to what you use in Yoga. They roll up and are made from a weird material. But these were more like pillows, but also inbetween. Don't ask where she got them; even Mel doesn't know. But like everything else in the room [Except the bedsheets], they were shades of blue. Only navy though. The large pillows would probably be in a hippie van, 'cept that they weren't tie-dyed. Some were pale blue, and some were pale teal. The beanbags were in the corner; the corner near her desk had quite a few. It was a bit like a chatting circle, in a way, and some of Melanie's dirty clothing littered them. These seats were dyed either pale violet or a regular sky blue. They were large and rather comfy.
A large, white, wooden shelf hung above the bed inbetween the top bed posts. It was littered with colourful DVDs. From a distance, you probably wouldn't notice it with everything else in the room, but it was there. If you didn't know Melanie, you'd probably step away simply and quickly. But her friends know that she is an anime geek. Many DVDs were in it; but only her favourites. The others were located in an area that hasn't been explained. Her favourites were pretty simple. Full Moon ((They were pirated... >.<; )), Chrno Crusade, Azumanga Daioh, DearS, Fruits Basket, and Love Hina. Most or all of each series was located here.
Near the corner of many beanbags lies a beautiful white wood desk. The edges are painted with a marvelous teal colour, and it slowly turns back into the white colour. The things on it were books, mostly. Graphic novels, to be exact. But other than that, more litter covered the top of the desk. Under the desk, however, were 4 large stacks of anime DVDs. This is where she kept the rest. Other anime titles live in the dark spot, ones that she did not favor nearly as much.
The window was quite luxurious. Lined with metal, the glass was surprisingly clean. After all, this WAS Melanie we were talking about. A long, shiny ((^^ SHINYYYYY)) curtain rod hung above it. At the ends were shining blue metal balls. The curtain hung on it was a near-see-through material, and was a pale periwinkle. Small mirrors were sewn into the material, which caused it to look beautiful in the light.
Infront of the curtains, however, is a small, dark grey table. Atop it is a television set. It wasn't too big or too small. It was a regular size, and it made the room look comfortable. But the dark grey table probably measures about half a foot off the ground, and is hollow. Inside, a DVD Player, cable box and PlayStation2 live inside, as do a few constantly watched DVDs. The master remote lies randomly around the room, depending on where she watches from.What was not mentioned about her bed area is that Melanie has papers hung all over her walls surrounding the bed. Lyrics, pictures, and a few other things. It is quite obvious that Melanie will stand on her bed often, because the lyrics are fairly high and appear to have not been removed lately. The pictures are all pictures she had drawn. Fairly good, they were. Most in black and white, Melanie's talent shone on paper. You could tell she was more of an artistic person, anyways.
Against the wall, next to the desk, lies a small entrance. You can see it, but a cloth resembling the window curtains covers it. Held up by shimmering silver star stickers, you must be careful to not pull it down. When you walk in, you'll notice a large thing of clothing on hangers pushed as far as possible on the rack. Shoes are stacked aswell. But on the other side of the now-obvious walk-in closet, lie two closed boxes. Ontop sits a large pillow like the ones in the main dorm room, except black. When you sit and look to your left, you can see small notes Melanie would write. Sad things. Things that make you feel guilty because you're reading them. Things she doesn't want people to know about. Not big secrets. Oh no. Melanie is a person who hides her tears and tries to be as strong as possible, but when she comes in here, she breaks down and writes what is wrong. It's a horrible thing to do, hide your tears and fears. And on the ground lies the silver Sharpie she writes with...
Next to the walk-in closet lies another enterance; this one has a door like the dorm door. A teal-sky blue colour is painted on it, and in a metallic blue-silver coloured paint reads 'Washroom'. It's written in handwriting, and after the M, it swerves under to make an underline. It looks quite nice. On the inside, you will discover a light grey room. It wasn't very spacious at all, but it was slightly bigger than a regular bathroom. In the corner lay a standard shower stall, but Melanie had painted little smiley faces all over it. The sink was near the door as you enter, and ribbons cover it. Over the knobs, Melanie had stuck a red metallic star over the red H, and a blue metallic star over the blue C. The toilet was next to it. Both the sink and the toilet were a beautiful periwinkle. Across from those were many towels, all different blue colours. Next the the towels, a full-body mirror stood. A few pieces of jewelery hung from it.
Melanie is a very nice girl, though flirtatious and spacy. She's sometimes an insomniac and has an addiction to junk food. But her room is calm and relaxing. So when you walk in, you may feel very... at home.
