Almost every chapter will have a flashback. I hope you'll like the introduction, please let me know what you think about this story.
Karma POV
I get out of my car. My parents gave it to me for graduation. I sigh deep and look at the building. I still can't believe I'm finally done with high-school and never have to see those faces again. After the breakup with Amy everything got weird. I was friends with Liam, but Shane hated me, for whatever reason, I didn't do anything. It was all her fault.
I walk up to the first person who seems like they know what's going on. "Hey, can you maybe help me? I have no clue where I have to go."
The girl turns around. She has red hair, green eyes and full lips. Her outfit says business and she smiles at me. "Maybe I can. You're a freshman, right? Give me your papers and I think I can show you around. I'm Hanna by the way."
I smile back at her, wow she seems really nice. "Thanks, here you go." I hand her my paper stuff. "I'm Karma."
She looks at the paper and then back at me. "What a beautiful name, I bet you family is full of hippies." She winks at me. "And yes, I can actually help you. Let me show you to the staff members of the university you have to see and then I can show you your dorm room."
She starts to walk in one direction and I follow her. "Thank you so much, I hope I'm not keeping you from something important."
She looks up from the paper again and smiles. "What? No! I love procrastination, I would do something productive and who would want that?"
I let out a chuckle and keep following her.
After we talked to all the important people she leads me to my room. It's a two bed room and my roommate hasn't arrived yet.
"Lucky, you got a big room." She nudges my shoulder and walks into the room. "Do you have another task for me? I don't want to go back to my studies, not yet."
She pouts a bit and I start to laugh. "What are you even studying?"
She sits down on one of the beds and looks at the ceiling. "I'm a sophomore in Literary Studies, what about you?"
I sit down on the other bed and start to smile. "I'm a freshman, as you already know, in English Literature. So if I have any problem with my studies you might help me?" I stick out my tongue in her direction and she breathes out a laughter.
"Sure, I will, but I don't have good grades, trust me."
I sigh and then I remember, "Actually, if you don't mind I have another task for you. Can you help me get my stuff from my car?"
She looks at me, still with this bright smile. "Sure! How could I say no to that irresistible offer?"
I get up and clap my hands. "Great, let's go then."
When my stuff is in the room, I start to unpack. Of course Hanna helps me to decorate my part of the room. When we're set she says her goodbye, but not without leaving me her number to call if I have any problem. I'm really glad I met her, I didn't think I would find a friend that quickly. But I'm also curious who's gonna be living with me. I hope she's easy to cope with, but after being with Amy for over a year, I can handle a lot, so I shouldn't worry. But now I feel kinda gross, all that walking and carrying stuff made me icky and sweaty. I think it's time for a shower.
Amy POV
I got out of my mother's car and look at the building. University of Texas. I still think it's amazing that I don't have to move far away from my family. Ever since senior year I grew really close to Lauren and my mother. It's fascinating what a breakup can do for your life. The moment I think about her again I pull a face.
"Don't you like it? I think it looks amazing." Bruce gets my cases from the trunk and hands them to me.
"No it looks amazing, I just thought of somebody."
My mother pats my back and looks at me with a sympathetic expression. "You're sure you don't want to live with us anymore? You feel so much safer at home than somewhere else."
I grab the cases and start to walk towards the entry. "Yeah I'm sure, one day or the other I have to move out. I can't live with you for the rest of my life."
"She's kinda right, darling." Bruce is almost always with me on stuff like that, but mostly because my mother is delusional.
We find the people responsible for my registration fairly quickly what is all in my interest, since they took so freaking much time bringing Lauren to the airport. I mean come on, yeah she's leaving for NYU, but it's not like it's the first time. She's a sophomore, I'm a freshman, I have to get used to this whole thing. I told them they didn't have to come with me, but they wanted to. We search quite a while for my dorm room, and we don't seem to find it.
After what feels like hours, I finally ask a girl if she could help us, she didn't seem to be in a rush. She has strawberry blonde curls and piercing green eyes. Soft freckles cover her nose and she tilts her head slightly as she looks at the dorm number and stuff. There was a sudden smile on her face and she looks up.
"Your room is right over there, and trust me, you will love your roommate, she's amazing." She winks at me and walks off.
"Now that's good news, isn't it?"
I turn to my mother and glare at her. "We'll see, I still don't know why I couldn't have a room to myself, but whatever."
She sighs deeply and shakes her head slightly. "We both know that you would only stay in your room and never talk to anybody else if you had a room to yourself."
She is right. "But that's only because I find smalltalk ridiculous and redundant. I don't get why I even have to talk to people when I have the internet."
My mother starts to push me forward in the direction the girl showed us until we stand right in front of the room.
"Fine, you can go now."
My mother and Bruce look at each other for a moment and then at me. "Are you sure? We would love to meet your roommate."
"And I bet my roommate would love to meet my weird parents who ruin every situation with inappropriate behavior." I roll my eyes and they look at each other again.
"Fine, we'll leave you here." My mother sighs again and pulls me in for a hug. "I'll miss you sweetie, call me if anything is wrong, you know we're only a few miles away from you."
I resist the urge to roll my eyes, because Bruce is watching me teary eyed and I don't want to ruin the moment we should have. I pull away gently and walk over to Bruce who gives me a quick hug.
"Keep a stiff upper lip, my dear."
"Sure will, no worries."
They walk away and when they're out of sight I finally enter the room. My roommate is in the shower, I can hear the water running, so I bring all my stuff inside. When I take a look around my breath hitches. A familiar guitar leans against the bed, a poster of the horoscope cycle hangs on the wall and on the dresser lies a floral dress that is also oddly familiar.
"Fuck." I whisper under my breath. The water stops running and I start to panic. This can't be happening, no this isn't real. Please no. Not here, not when I finally thought I left everything behind.
The bathroom door opens and she walks in, in only a towel, damp auburn hair falling down her shoulders. She hasn't seen me, but she acknowledged my presence.
"Oh, so you're my new roommate, so nice to meet you I'm karm..." The moment she turns around her voice is stuck in her throat and we stare at each other for what feels like forever. "You have to be fucking kidding me." She finally says and turns around. "No, this isn't happening, you're not my roommate. Show me your files, this can't be right."
We walk to our desks where we both put our files and compare the room number. "Identical," I say and she glares at me.
"Great, now I'm stuck with you."
I sigh and turn to her. "Good to see you, too, Karma."
Amy turned the corner and stopped in her tracks. This was the first time they decided to take their relationship to the public. She saw her beautiful girlfriend standing at her locker, getting her books and thought to herself how she deserved such a beautiful lady.
After the kiss at the assembly they decided to try it for real, but Amy wasn't sure it was a good idea to test their friendship like that. She made her way over to Karma and placed her hands on her waist making her jump.
"Gosh Amy, can you not? You know I don't like stuff like that." Karma said behind a giggle while she turned around to greet her girlfriend.
Karma gave Amy a soft but quick kiss on the lips and rested her arms on her girlfriend's neck. Amy lingers there for another second with closed eyes.
Wow, I can't believe this girl is my girlfriend now, no faking, nothing, she thought.
"Good to see you too, Karma," she said with a huge grin on her face, ignoring all the staring people around them.
This was the beginning of quite a story.
