Beca sighed as she pulled her things from the back of the taxi and trudged her tired body towards the direction of her dorm. Or at least that's where she hoped she was going. The map she studied on the ride over could very well have leaded her astray. She may not want to be there, but she didn't want to look like a lost freshman either. She was already grumpy and tired, so not being able to find her dorm wasn't really on the top of her list. Her sour mood was attributed to the lovely phone call she received from her father during the ride. Apparently he went to the airport to pick her up, only to learn she had taken a taxi and their conversation quickly went downhill, leaving Beca in quite the foul mood.

Clearly communication wasn't their forte.

She already flew across the country on a red eye while sat next to a guy who didn't know the meaning of personal space (she hated people like that), so really the last thing she needed was a scolding from her father like she was some insolent child.

She was going to give this place a chance, but now she's not so sure.

The brunette made it only half way up the steps of her dorm building with her head down before fully colliding with someone. The girl, she assumed, let out a high-pitched squeak as they collided, an elbow managing to stick her in the ribs and a flailing hand smacking her in the face. She cursed loudly and heard a gasp from the other person before finally looking up.

The girl in front of her was wide eyed with honey colored brunette hair. Beca swore even though she was a step below her that the other girl could be shorter than her, which is a rarity. The girl was obviously saying something, rambling from what it looked like, but Beca didn't register a single word.

"Look, it's fine. We're fine. Let's just get on with it." She managed to interrupt the babbling brunette, which only caused her eyes to widen more.

The girl blew out a breath and smiled. "You're right. That was silly of me. I'm sure you don't care about all of that. I'm just excited to finally be here. I mean I love my dad to death but I needed to get out, ya know? It took all the convincing I had to make him go park the car so I could have a few minutes to find my room without him looming over me." She paused to take an extremely short breath.

"Anyways I'm excited to be here. Oh, I said that already." She blushed and let out a nervous chuckle. "I guess this means we're living in the same building, right? Maybe we hang out or eat together some time?" The girl looked so earnest it was almost endearing.

God was everyone this excited to start college? Beca thought.

She fucking hoped not.

Beca tried her hardest not to roll her eyes. Yes, the girl seemed sweet and probably a very nice person, one she could potentially tolerate so she should really give her a chance, but today was probably one of the worst days for her to interact with another human being. She shut her eyes briefly before speaking.

"Uh yeah, uhm sure we can. I'm just… I'm gonna go." She pointed up the steps and began walking without another word. It was awkward and not really what she wanted to say but at least she didn't yell at anyone.

The girl turned and stared after her with her mouth open. "Oh… Okay bye!" She waved even though there was no way Beca would be able to see her. The lighter haired brunette frowned a little then picked up her bags that were jostled in the collision, mindful of the bag of bear spray and made her way up the steps.

After an annoying, but thankfully short conversation with some student coordinator, Beca got her keys and opened the door to her room without looking at the door itself. The blinds were drawn back and the institutional white walls completely bare. She beat her roommate, a plus in her book. She wasn't up for socializing with anyone else until she had a proper nap. Picking the side of the room she thought she wanted, the brunette pulled out a couple of blankets she packed in her suitcase and the pillow she desperately tried but failed to use on the plane and threw them all on the bed. It would have to make due for now as she was waiting for the rest of her things to be shipped from home.

With the rest of her things forgotten, she quickly flopped on the bed and welcomed the sleep that soon overcame her.

Laura frowned as she walked down the hall to her room. Was everyone at this school so grumpy? Shouldn't everyone be excited? This is the start of real life after all! The small brunette pondered those thoughts as she looked at every door number she passed.

"304… 305… 306… ah! 307, there you are." She thought to herself.

The brunette was so wrapped up in her thoughts about the raging bad people she had met already that she didn't notice the music blasting though the hallway until she got to her door to hear Taylor Swift blaring. The door already had cute things like cartoon books and pencils taped all over the door. Her name scrawled out in beautiful handwriting on a cupcake was extra cute. Every other door had different sweet treats with names written in them.

"Chloe…" She said softly, reading the other name that was written in bubbly letters on what looked akin to strawberry shortcake. She took a deep breath and smiled.

"Well here goes nothing."

The tiny brunette opened the door to have the music blasting tenfold and a redhead facing the window while dancing wildly. Laura giggled as she walked further into the room and closed the door. The noise startled the other girl and she quickly turned around, her crystal blue eyes sparkling at Laura. The redhead quickly went to the stereo to turn it off and beamed at the brunette.

"Hi! You must be Laura!" The redhead quickly exclaimed with her ever so bright smile.

Laura returned her grin. "I am! And you must be Chloe?"

"Oh totes! I'm the community programmer for the education majors. I plan most of the activities that get everyone to bond over the education of young children! I'm the co-captain of the Bella's. We're the tits. I want to teach music to underprivileged children when I graduate. Or become an exotic dancer, but the teaching thing looks a little more promising." She quirked her lips to the side and made a funny face.

Laura laughed a bit at the whole introduction. She thought she could be an excited talker, but this girl could definitely have her beat. She knew she should introduce herself more but she ended up blurting out the first thing that came to mind.

"Exotic dancing?"

"Yeah! I took a class here last year and really liked it. The dancing is a really great workout and a relaxing way to express yourself. I totes recommend it."

Laura furrowed her eyebrows a little but nodded her head. She still wasn't sure about the whole dancing things but the red head was sure excited about it. "Oh, well that's pretty neat then! I haven't been that adventurous I guess. But I want to major in journalism and do some type of reporting when I graduate. I don't know what else I would do. But I'm super excited to be here!"

"That's great! I can already tell we're going to be great roommates." There she was smiling that giant smile again. Laura smiled brightly, thankful that not everyone on this campus was a grump. The two began chatting animatedly as Chloe helped Laura unpack, every now and then the red head touching the brunette's arm as she talked. Laura noticed but didn't think it was too weird. Clearly she was just touchy feely when expressing herself. Right?

Beca was startled from her nap as the door to her room slammed open. She sat up quickly to see a dark haired girl in a black shirt and leather pants stroll into the room. Beca stared at the dark haired girl who spared her one look before throwing her bags all over the floor. She was pretty, her features were far paler than her own, which said something, and she carried herself like she literally didn't give a shit.

The girl pulled out a sheet, threw it on the bed then jumped on with shoes and all and flipped open some old tattered looking book. Beca sat there looking at the girl for a moment then raised her eyebrows.

"So uhm you must be my roommate?" She cringed a little on how stupid that sounded.

The dark haired girl sighed loudly and didn't bother to look up from her book. "Must I be?"

Beca opened her mouth to say something but honestly didn't even know what to say to that. She thought she was a little grumpy today, but this girl probably had her beat every day of the week. The brunette was happy she didn't have some over bubbly talks all the time kind of roommate, but she would have liked someone who was maybe a little more friendly. Though the girl could just be tired and she shouldn't judge. She knew she wasn't the kindest person to a few people today.

Sighing and figuring she wouldn't be able to sleep any more, Beca stood up and began unpacking her mixing equipment. Her dad promised her a new monitor and everything when she got to school, but after their conversation earlier today she wasn't so sure that was going to happen. How he thought it was her fault about the miscommunication when he didn't even tell her he was going to pick her up from the airport was a bit excessive in her opinion.

Beca continued to set up her equipment, cursing every once in a while when a cord was too short to reach where she wanted it to go. The other girl tried not to pay her any attention, but every once in a while Beca could see the dark haired girl peer over her Dickens's book curiously.

Maybe they'll eventually talk

Maybe she'll learn the name of her mysterious roommate.

Laura's dad left her dorm room after the brunette had to practically force him out the door so he wouldn't miss his flight. She flopped down on her bed with a sigh of relief. She loves her dad, but he's a bit over bearing at times. She heard a giggle from the other side of the room and pried one of her eyes open to look over at the red head.

Mr. Hollis had already subjected Chloe to a slew of questions and in-depth conversations, but this wasn't the red heads first time dealing with over bearing parents so she obviously passed with flying colors. If the giant grin he flashed at the red head when she told him she would remind his daughter to rotate her can of bear spray every day of the week as he was walking out the door wasn't proof, Laura wasn't sure what was.

Her dad was probably just glad she was roomed with someone who seemed responsible and had a good head on their shoulders. And of course, who wasn't a boy, no matter how many times Laura had told him that she was as straight as cooked spaghetti.

She was about to ask the red head what she was giggling at when a knock on the door distracted them booth. Chloe made an excited face and rushed to open the door. Laura sat up to make herself presentable and got up to peer over the red heads shoulder.

Standing at the door were two grinning red heads. One more strawberry blonde with curlier hair than Chloe, dressed blouse that was buttoned up conservatively, and the other with considerably brighter and shorter hair that was sticking up in a messy faux hawk with a button down shirt and bow tie.

"Hi!" The red head with shorter hair said. Chloe was grinning from ear to ear as soon as she saw the two red heads. It was like a thing when a red head saw another red head. You just knew you were in the presence of other majestic unicorns and that it was so very special. Chloe said hi enthusiastically and opened the door more so Laura could stand by her.

The shorter haired red head continued. "My name is Laf and this is Perry. We live down the hall." Pointing in the right direction as they said it. "We've been friends forever and asked to room together, but we almost didn't get the request because we're supposed to make more friends. Which I'm not totally sure if it's due to a social experiment by the university or not. Don't get me wrong, I totally love experimentation, but I would like to see their sources first." They were about to continue on when Perry elbowed them before they rambled on too far.

Perry smiled a closed lip, yet inviting smile. "What Laf was getting to is that we compromised and made cookies to get to know some more people." She held out the plate in her hands. They were adorable sugar cookies that were cut into shapes like a microscope, atom, and test tubes.

"Laf made a 3D printer and made these cookie cutters. But be careful of those orange ones, they did some experimenting with them and I can't be sure as to what is in them. The ones on your left should taste okay though." Chloe and Laura smiled, noticing the lack of pronouns when Perry was addressing Laf.

"Should taste okay? Perry is just being humble. Her cookies are probably more delicious than the bakery down the street." Laf glanced at Perry lovingly as the curly haired red head blushed at the complement.

Chloe grinned as she took a cookie. "Well I'm Chloe! I'm the education community programmer I'm super excited to meet more gingers! There aren't enough here at this school."

Perry visibly perked up and flashed a toothy grin at the other red head. "I'm an education major! Elementary education to be exact." She beamed and Laura's journalism instincts kicked in when she saw Laf's chest literally swell with pride. The grin on their face couldn't have been missed in a mile radius of them. Laura was starting to think that the two red heads were more than friends. Laf quickly snapped out of it and turned to Laura, who quickly realized that she was the only one who hadn't introduced themselves.

"I'm Laura! I'm wanting to be a journalist and I love cookies." She said and plucked one of the cookies off the plate with a grin.

The four talked for quite some time, Chloe giving everyone good campus advice, like the best spots to eat or study and Laf and Perry telling them about the people they've met in the dorm.

"I'm not saying they're mean or anything… but be careful of the two broods on the floor above. Maybe it's a first day thing, but they seemed too grumpy to enjoy cookies." Laf said cautiously.

"Not to mention their room looked like a cave and they were wearing all black." Perry whispered with a pointed look like the two would hear her.

Perry continued on, her eyes getting bigger and bigger and she spoke. "One of them called us thing one and thing two. That's not a really new thing to us but she didn't call us by our names at all. I'm not even sure she bothered to remember them."

Laf put an arm on Perry's back to calm her down and even though the two enthusiastic roommates were surprised at the rudeness of the girls on the floor above, they smiled at the two adorable red heads in front of them. They definitely thought they could be great friends and the four made plans to hang out again after they talked for another twenty minutes.

The two red heads headed down the hall to hand out more cookies while Chloe and Laura continued their decorating. Laura smiled as she taped up her Doctor Who poster, feeling happy that not everyone at this school was a raging bad person. Chloe had gotten there the day before so she had already decorated her side of the room. She got a phone call from Aubrey who was in full freak out mode and excused herself to go attend to her friend with promises of joining Laura for dinner later.

So I'm doing a thing. I've been thinking/working on this for a little while and have some good ideas where this could go. No supernatural or anything. Just a bunch of lesbians.
Let me know what you think of said thing!
