Chapter 1 college life.
April
(Dear diary,
today is Monday April 27th, and it's almost 2 weeks since I have seen my girlfriend. Not a lot has happened in those two week, I mean College commenced the Monday after she left and I am still yet to make any friends. I've spoke to Em over the phone, and from what I can tell she seems to have fit into college life pretty well. I'm not surprised I'm sure she's a hit on the swim team. College for me isn't how I thought it would be, I feel lost like I don't fit in, When I'm at Upen I pretty much cling to Spencer's side except for when we have different classes. If Emily was here, she would tell me not to worry, that I'll make friends and if I don't then it's them who's missing out, but she's not, she's not here and I miss her already.)
Ali's pov
Placing my diary down on my bedside table, I roll out of bed to get changed throwing on my skinny jeans. Pulling on my singlet top and cream blazer, I grab my black flats, before Walking into the kitchen and pouring myself a cup of coffee, only to get interrupted by spencer. "Ali have you seen my text book"? Nope, but just a thought spencer if you didn't try and study everything at once maybe you would find it. "Hey I like the way I study ok, don't judge me". spence I'm not judging, I'm observing. Now can we please go, we're going to be late, I'm sure you can find it tonight. "Fine lets go". I grab the car keys off the bench, throwing them to spencer just hoping that today is a better day.
Emily's pov
Walking into my door room I smile. Our door room was just starting to resemble a home. Standing in the door way, you could see both beds. Mine is to the left of our room, and Paige's is to the right. Her side of the room is covered in magazine picture mostly of famous women, and my side is pretty plain. Next to my bed, is my favourite picture of me and Ali from prom. I Have my arms wrapped firmly around her waist, and she is tilting her head to the side so that we can kiss. Paige often catches me staring at it at night, but never says anything. At the end of my bed is a desk, and next to it is a small wooden wardrobe. To the right of the door when you walk in, is a small bench with a bar fridge underNeath, and two stools. The toilets and showers are down stairs, and there is a dinning area where we eat most nights.
Paige was spread out on her bed with her text book, and when she noticed me, she starts to talk. "How was class"? Same as always I guess, How about you? How was your day off? "Mmm average, I was planing on going shopping and catching up on some much needed sleep, but I have pretty much Been cramming for a test I have coming up all day, I only stopped once to go get coffee with Sydney". Well then I guess were both looking forward to swim practice? "Yep I for one can't wait", I smiled. Have you seen my towel? I question as I empty the content of my swim bag on the bed, I can't seem to find it anywhere. "No but you can use one of mine, we can find it later". It's safe to say I have officially decided that I hate Mondays already, I'm tired And could fall asleep at any moment, which is not good because Monday is the only day I don't have any time to spare. Realising the time, I quickly strip off my jeans and my shirt, before throwing on my bathers and training suit. As I pull my hair into a neat pony tail, I watch Paige pack her bag. When the two of us are ready, I grab a bottle of water before waiting for Paige to lock the door.
As expected practice was a killer, coach Jonson made us do two laps of the track before doing four laps of the pool for warm up. Stretches and cardio were also included. coach young took us for drills and training, pairing us up with someone at the same ability level. When I was paired with Morgan, I was pretty happy. Morgan was quickly becoming my second friend around here, and I thought she was pretty cute. Morgan is slightly short than me, but not enough to notice. She has black hair that just reaches her shoulders, and the tips of it she has died a dark kind of purple. she's skinny and even in her swim suit, you can tell her stomachs toned, way more toned than mine will ever be. We met on orientation, and along with a girl called Lauren who has blonde hair and blue eyes, she in a lot of my classes outside of swimming.
"So it seems you haven't got ride of me today yet", Morgan States as we practices our dives off the edge. Well your lucky I seem to enjoy your company, I wink as she pulls herself out of the water. "Good, then I guess were like friends". Morgan laughs as she grabs her towel, and After practice we had our team meeting, which includes weigh in and getting our dietary records signed off. Coach Clark makes us keep a recorded of what we eat during the week, and on Mondays we have to report back. When I entered the locker room, I began to get changed while talking to Morgan and Lauren about an assignment we received this morning. What floor are your apartments on? I questioned them and they both answered. "Mines on the fifth", Morgan smiled as she threw her bag over her shoulder. "Mines on the 3rd" Lauren States. Well are you guys up for a study session ? I could use the extra help, it may even give us all a chance to get to know each other too. Morgan nodded "I'm in, my room mate hates me already, so long as we study at yours". "Totally, it beats being alone for the night", Lauren mumbles as she walks over to coach so she can sign her book. Great well I'm sure Paige won't mind follow me.
Morgan and Lauren, followed me out of the sports centre and into the lift watching as I pressed number 4. I didn't see Paige in the locker room so I figured she had just headed straight up. Unlocking the door with my key, the two girl stepped in. Hey Paige I hope you don't mind, the girls came to study. "Of corse not Em, you don't need to ask it's your room two". "God If only my room mate was that nice to me", Morgan grumbles as she sits down on my bed. Your rooms pretty cool, Lauren complements us as she takes a look around.
"Wow Paige, sorry for asking but with all the posters are you like into girls"? Paige laughed yep, is it that obvious? what about you? "Ah no I'm straight, but it doesn't bother me that your not". Paige and I both glanced at each other before smiling at Lauren. Placing my bag down on the ground I pulled out my phone and saw two un read text from Ali.
Ali: Hey babe hope swim practice went well, call me later if you get the chance xo- Ali
Ali: also Your mum invited me over for dinner next weekend should I go? I think I'm not the only one who is missing you :( xo Ali
When the girls caught me smiling, they asked who I was texting. Paige however answered for me. That would be her girlfriend, I can tell by the look on her face. I looked up at Morgan and Lauren and they smiled. "Do you have a picture of her"? Morgan questioned me and I reached over to grab the photo next to my bed. "Aww, she's cute what's her name"? Ali, I smile as I feel my cheeks blush. "How long have you been together"? Morgan asked. 10 months, I say as I place it back in place. What about you guys do you have a special someone?. "No I dated a guy in high school but I ended it before college could start, it was for the best". Lauren shrugged her shoulders as she opened her note pad and began to write. What about you Morgan? I questions her as I noticed she had gone quiet. "Umm no, I've never actually had a boyfriend or a girlfriend... but I guess you could say I'm like you and Paige". I raised my eyebrows, so your gay your just not out of the closet? Morgan nodded. Well don't worry, your secrets safe with us. Morgan smiled and the three off us finally started our assignments. At around 9pm the girls left, and I finally had time to call Ali. Paige went down stairs to take a shower, so it was only me in the room.
Ali: Hey Em
Em: Hey beautiful sorry I didn't reply before I was busy, how was your day?
Ali: That's ok, hope I didn't interrupt. It was alright I guess but I'm still friendless!
Em: You didn't babe, two of the girls on the swim team came over to study after practice, and we just got distracted. Aww, it's only been two weeks babe give it time I'm sure you will make heaps of friends.
Em:Ali laughed,
Ali: I love that your so positive Em but really I don't like my chances, college isn't like I thought it would be I miss you!
Em: I miss you too princess especially your lips. On a plus side my new friends saw the photo of us next to my bed, and they think your cute.
Ali:They do?
Em: Yep and I do too.
I could hear Ali yawning, You sound tired
Ali: I am, about your mum I think I will go see her for dinner, she must be lonely now that she is by herself most of the time, that's if your okay with it?
Em: Of corse I am, but if she starts telling you embarrassing stories of me when I'm not there promise me you won't listen.
Ali: Mmm, I don't know babe I'll have to think about it.
Em: Hey!
Ali: Relax I'm sure she will be fine babe, I kind of have to go though :(
Em: Okay well we can text tomorrow then, I promise this time I will reply.
Ali: Good I look forward to it, I love you
Em: I love you too Ali goodnight
Ali: Night sweetie
Ali's pov
"Was that Emily on the phone"? Spencer questioned me as I sat down on the couch. I nodded, "How is she"? She's great she's doing great, she's made friends and she's loving college. Spencer paused the TV. "Let me guess your bummed because you miss her, and you thought she would be missing you just as much". I nodded again, curling my legs up and resting my head on Spencer's shoulder. Yeah, i mean she said she does and I believe her, I just can't help but think that I need her more then she needs me. "Ali don't be ridiculous okay? Emily loves you and she needs you just as much as you need her, it's been two weeks life's bound to pick up at some point". I sighed forcing a half smile, I hope your right spencer. "I'm Always right Ali you'll see".
