~Emma's POV~
Mom and Dad drove me to the college. We are now standing outside of my dorm building. Both of my parents are staring at me, sharing tears, while they help me take all of my things out of the car. "Oh David. Our baby's all grown up." My mom sniffs. My dad wraps his arm around her shoulders and gives it a tight squeeze. I roll my eyes at how dramatic they are being.
"Okay...mom, dad. It's been swell but..." I trail awkwardly pointing to my dorm building. My mom nodded and wiped the tears on her face. I smiled at how cheesy their relationship is. They both looked each other in their eyes for a brief moment and then turned to me.
"Emma. Please be on your best behavior here." She pleaded and kissed my cheek. I haven't been the best cookie in high school. I was a real wildcard, still am.
"I'll try mom. I promise." I assured her and smiled. My dad then embraced me in his bear hug. He kissed the side of my temple and smiled once he pulled away.
"I'm gonna miss you kiddo." He said. Now I want to cry. I love my parents so so much.
"I love you guys so much." I tell them and turned heel so they didn't see me cry. I wiped my tears as I walked away. Carrying my things wasn't hard. I left many things home because I didn't want to bring much here, so all I have is a suitcase, a huge duffel bag, and my book bag. My dad put money in my bank account so I could go shopping and stuff.
Thank god my room is on the first floor: Room 108. I walk towards it and I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous. I'm great with meeting new people, but living with a total stranger is a completely different story.
I pull out my keys to my room and I unlock the door. To my surprise, my roomy isn't here, but she was here. Her stuff is organized and she seems to be a neat freak; I could tell by just looking at her side of the room. There's a big window between our beds. We both have twin beds, a desk, a dresser, and a closet on each side. One doorway, on my side, leads to the bathroom and the doorway on her side leads towards the kitchen. The room is actually bigger than I thought it would be.
I sigh heavily and unpack my things. I don't really care how neat it looks. As long as it's in it's right space, then I'm fine. After about a good hour I'm done and just on time, someone opens the door. A brunette is revealed. Her hair is a little past her shoulders. She's wearing red heels, super skinny jeans, a white tank top, and a cute jean jacket. She's beautiful and she looks rich too. I wonder why she isn't in a bigger dorm.
"Oh. Hi." she says nervously and walks in. "I'm Regina." she holds out her hand. Very professional. Great...a goody two shoes. This will be fun.
"Hey. I'm Emma" I give her a small smile and take her hand. She smiles at me and throws herself on the bed. she sighs heavily. I could only laugh at her. "Rough day already?" I ask.
"You could say that..." She mumbles and kicks off her heals.
"If you don't mind me asking...why are you in a dorm like this?" I ask confidently. I really needed to know. She sits up and frowns.
"Oh I see." she chuckles. "My look proceeds me... Um. Don't get me wrong, being rich is great and all, but I want to live a normal life where everything isn't handed to me. Does that make sense?" she asks. I quickly nod my head: silence filled the room and everything became awkward. After a few moments I clear my throat.
"Umm... Are you going to one of the parties tonight?" I ask. She shrugs.
"I doubt it." she chuckles.
"Awwww come on! You have to have some type of fun before classes start!" I persuade. She gives me a sad smile and looks down at her lap.
"I've never been to a party in my life." She admits. My eyes almost bulge out of my head. I never thought I'd pity a rich girl. "And besides. My mother would kill me."
"Oh come on. How could she ever even find out?"
"Because she finds out everything." Regina tells me. I smirk at her like she's being dramatic. "She's the dean..." she trails and now my eyes are really bulging out of my skull.
"Thats...that's..." I frown. I really didn't know what to say.
"I know I know. It sucks, but anyways, she's really strict and she lives her life through me. Anything I want to do, I can't." She explains.
"Aww Regina, It can't be that bad." I say softly.
"No it is. She's made me run for class president in high school every year. I had to play volleyball. I still do. I had to be in at least five clubs, including cheer leading. Still do. Any grade below a 90 is unacceptable, but it crossed the line when she wanted me to run a Sorority. There's no way in hell, I'm going to live in a house full of bratty bitches." Regina growled.
"Wow..." I rub my lap and just look at her. I Always thought that being rich was great, but I guess that depends on the parents. "But...If you put your foot down about the sorority, then maybe you could put your foot down on all of the rules." I suggest.
"You have no idea what she would do to me if I went that far." She sighed; I sighed.
"Just come to the frat party with me. I promise I will make it worth it." I beg. I don't know why, but I really wanted her to come.
"I don't know..." She mumbled in deep thought.
~Regina's POV~
I caved in and decided to go the party with Emma. Right now she's out touring the place with some friends. I only have one friend, Katherine. I already know this place pretty well so I decided not to tour.
Kat and I are walking through the park on campus. She's sipping on an iced coffee and I have a caramel apple frappe. Everyone smiles at us or says hi. I hate that everyone knows me already and it's only my first year. I used to visit during my high school years, so when word spread that the dean's hot daughter was enrolling, people became excited.
"I wish you were my roomy." Kat sighs as we walk. I waved to someone who said hi and then I frowned at her.
"Same here. I can tell my room mate is going to be a handful." I sigh and we sit on a bench.
"Really? How come?" she seemed intrigued.
"Because she's a party girl. She just persuaded me to go to the frat party not too long ago." I mumble. I tap on my cup nervously and Kat screams with joy, scaring the shit out of me.
"OH MY GOD FINALLY! YOU NEED SOME FUN IN YOUR LIFE!! It's time to get laid girl!" Kat cheered. I give her a look and I furrow my eyebrows.
"No its not!. I've been perfectly fine the way I am." I spat at her.
"Come on Regina, you'll have fun and I'll be there." She smirks at me and I roll my eyes. I continue to drink my frappe as I ignore her. "Robin will be there" She teased. I almost choked on my coffee.
"R-Robin goes here?" I stutter. He has been my crush for years now. Kat nods her head and chuckles at me. My face turns red from embarrassment.
"Now's your chance to let the real Regina out. You can finally get a chance with Robin." Kat smiled and clapped her hands with excitement.
"I guess so..." I sigh. why isn't that I can't, for the life of me, tell anyone no? It's like I'm cursed and I hate it.
"Great! Let's go get ready." She beams and pulls me by my wrist. It causes me to drop my frappe. I look down at it sadly as Kat drags me away. Bye bye my sweet baby.
