Summary: Peyton went to Berkeley in the hope of forgetting her past. However, things don't always work out the way we want them to.
Some Call It Fate
Chapter 1
'Here are they keys to your room, a few pamphlets on extra-curricular activities, and that's about it!' The woman smiled warmly and continued 'If you need anything at all feel free to talk to a member of staff… Oh, and welcome to Berkeley!' She finished.
Peyton smiled half-heartedly as she took the keys from the woman. 'Thanks' she muttered, practically inaudibly, and left the building.
Once out on the green she checked her map to see where her room was. It was straight across campus. She let her feet take over as her thoughts slowly shifted elsewhere, and before she could stop it, she was thinking about the last person she ever wanted to see again.
Peyton examined the door to her room intently, as if transfixed with the small plastic numbers that read 302. The truth be told, she was scared of her new roommate, not that she had met her yet, but she was scared of what sort of person her roommate might be.
'Lost your key?'
Peyton turned around sharply crashing into the speaker's head.
'Oops, sorry. Nah, I'm just preparing myself to meet the girl I'll be living with for the next four years.'
'I guess I just saved you the trouble!' The girl said.
'Sorry?' Peyton asked, confused.
'My name's Rosie, I'm your new roommate!'
Peyton looked at her; she was small and thin, with long black hair and bright blue eyes that sparkled playfully when she talked. She was wearing a pale blue halter neck with jeans and flip flops.
'Uh, Hey! I'm Peyton' she finally answered, smiling.
'Well let's go in then!' Rosie giggled.
Peyton stuck her key in the door and they entered the room. Rosie had already claimed her half of the room, apparently, as it was decorated with photos, stickers and posters. Peyton took her bags and shoved them under her bed.
'Aren't you going to unpack?' Rosie asked
'Nah, I'm wrecked, there'll be time for that later' Peyton sighed as she lay down on her bed.
'Ok, cool.' Rosie said.
'So how long have you been here?'
'Two days'
'When do classes start?'
'A week, if I remember right.'
'Great, which gives us time to get to know some people, go to a few parties, meet some guys. You seen any?'
Rosie blushed. 'Um, yeah. This one guy.'
'What's his name?'
'Uhh… I don't know. I've never actually talked to him, but he's not like other guys here, you know? He doesn't try to show off, just keeps to himself and does his own thing, but not in a shy way. He seems really sweet…'
'Good for you, Rosie, but be careful, Ok? Sometimes the good guys are the most dangerous'
Rosie wasn't even listening to Peyton. '…And to top it all off, he is very hot.'
She finished. Peyton smiled and sighed.
'Wanna go explore campus? You can show me around a bit.'
'Sure! Let's go right away!"
