Mary Crawley had carefully unpacked the last of her things, and closed the doors to her closet. Attending Boston College had been her dream since she was fourteen. Now nineteen years old, she was ready to make that dream come true. She had studied hard, and even though her parents did not approve of her going to school in America, they promised they would pay for her tuition. Only three more days until classes started. She looked around her room, it felt like home. She had hung up a couple posters of her favorite bands like Vampire Weekend and the Vaccines, and tacked up a couple pictures of her and her family. The campus was gorgeous and Mary decided to go for a walk and meet some new people since she had finished unpacking her things. The instant she turned a corner at the end of the hallway she hit something hard and fell to the floor.
"I'm terribly sorry!" A man exclaimed with an accent similar to Mary's. He put his bags down so he could help her up.
"It's quite alright; it was an accident." Mary responded. As soon as she was on her feet she took a good look at the man standing in front of her. She had never seen anyone with eyes as blue as his before, they were bluer than the ocean. His blonde hair covered his forehead, so he took his hand and tried to push it back. He was tall, about six feet, and in shape. He was handsome; there was no doubt about that.
"Hi, my name is Matthew Crawley." He said extending his arm so they could shake hands.
"What a coincidence" Mary said "my name is Mary Crawley."
"Maybe we're long lost relatives." Matthew said with a smile.
"Maybe." Mary said with a grin. "You have a lot of stuff there, do you need some help?"
"That would be lovely." He said handing Mary a bag. The walked back to Matthews's room and Mary couldn't help but smile. It was her first day at BC and she had already made a friend… A cute friend that is.
