I unpacked as quick as i could so i had the whole day to explore. I had just started the London University and was decorating my dorm room. The room had lilac walls with a wooden floorboard - quite simple but I was one to be simple. I had posters up of The Mortal Instruments, my favourite band, and a collage i made to remember her friends back home. Hopefully i could add on to the collage with my new friends.
On the other side of the room, a bed. It was currently empty at the moment which meant that my roommate hasnt yet come. I didn't know what to feel about having a roommate, i hoped she would be an instant friend but I am known to be quite shy so unless she was forward-going i wouldn't have the confidence to speak to her first. I just had to wait and see.
Like the angels above read my mind, a girl pranced in the room with, what looked like, a hundred and one bags. Her hair reached the bottom of her back and it was jet-black, her clothes were so fashionable it made my fashion sense terrible - which it was - and her face was heavily done with make up. She was beautiful.
The black haired girl stopped when she noticed that i was staring with wide eyes and this new beauty. She raised an eyebrow in puzzlement which made Me instantly jealous. I was never able to raise the one eyebrow no matter how hard I tried.
I snapped out of my thoughts as the new girl approached me. Up close, she was much taller than expected. She looked about 5"10 and her eyes were hazel. She stuck her hand out to me and smiled a friendly smile that gave me some reassurance.
"I'm Isabelle Lightwood" she said as I hesitantly reached to shake her hand. Isabelle had an American accent in her voice. It gave me so much more confidence because i was also American.
"Clary Fray" I said when i returned the smile Isabelle gave me.
"Erm... you need help unpacking?" I offered when i glanced over Isabelle's shoulder to see the mountain of bags.
"Oh! If you dont mind, then afterwards we can tour the place together"
While unpacking Isabelle's belongings, they chatted for what seemed like hours, getting to know eachother. They found out that Isabelle - Izzy now because she requested it - was from New York, had a gay brother called Alec and both her parents were very successful and rich but were divorced; and Clary's dad died when she was three so it was just her and her mum living in Brooklyn.
It was mid-afternoon by the time we had fully unpacked and everything was set up. Izzy's side was colour themed - Black and Pink - so we decided to have most of my things black so it didnt look weird.
We headed down to the lunch hall to find everyone socialising and getting used to their new school. Izzy immediately fit in with a group of people who saw her and thought her worthy. They hardly even took notice on me, and when they did, some resented my because of my shyness, other welcomed me with ease.
Our new friends filled a whole table. It wasn't the biggest table in the hall but it'll do. Izzy and I was introduced to 6 people: Maia and Jordan who came here together as a couple, Simon and Maureen who were complete geeks but Simon was Jordan's roommate - i'd probably get along with them the most because i myself am a complete geek - and Alec and Magnus who were also together but Izzy already knew them because Alec was her brother. It was a nice circle of friends that i knew i would feel comfortable around after time.
