Triple occupancy, that's just perfect. I had to share my dorm with not one but two strangers. It isn't that I'm a brat or whatever I'm just….used to being alone. Now I have strangers living with me.
Move in day had finally approached so I swiftly carried my few boxes into the small bedroom.
"Hi! I'm Isobel but everyone calls me Izzie" a tall blonde said as I entered the room.
"Hi" I smiled and threw my box on the only available bed.
"You're Meredith right? I assumed because that's Cristina. She's our other roommate that...that is if you are Meredith which I'm assuming you are"
"I am" I nodded sitting back on the bed.
"This is exciting! College. Amazing. We made it ya know?"
"Yes we get it. We aren't going to need to celebrate the moments of our lives together so can you just…." Cristina rubbed her head.
"She's cranky. I think she secretly has a good heart though" Izzie smiled at Meredith.
"H-hi!" I live across the hall. I'm George...O'Malley" a dorky looking boy said from the entrance of our room.
"Hi George" Izzie smiled "and you are?" She asked referring to the other guy across the way.
"Alex" he smirked, carrying boxes into his room before disappearing.
"He not the friendliest" George said softly.

"It's move in day I think" Addison said looking through the window.
"Fresh meat" mark said wait a raised eyebrow.
"Mark….don't be gross"
"There's a party tonight to start off the semester" I said while reading the syllabus for the upcoming semester.
"A party for college freshman? Really?" Addison said rolling her eyes..
"It's not for freshman. It's for anyone and I want to see the new student alumni"
"I should warn any girl who comes within 50 feet of you" I mumbled looking up for a second.
"You're just jealous because you're so busy studying before the semester even starts that you haven't gotten laid."
"Hah, I'm trying to finish med school, remember?that's why we're all in student loan debt? Besides I'm not interested in the freshman apocalypse"
"You need fun"
"I don't you invading on my private life" I said this time Not looking up from my book.
"We'll go for an hour or two. That's it"
"Mhm" i muttered knowing i wouldn't convince him otherwise.
—
"This is so exciting! A college party. Our first college party"
"Yes Izzie. Everything is very exciting."
"I heard there might even be guys from the Med School here" Izzie giggles
Our school was one of the most sought after pre med schools with an even more sought after med school attached. The hope was to go from one to the other.
Izzie had on a soft tan sweater with a cream skirt with small black heels and her blonde hair in a loose ponytail with Cristina wearing a black on black on black with her sweater jeans and converse.
I bit my lip as i looked at my messy mousy brown waves that framed my face. Plain...I was always plain but it never really bothered me until I saw the astonishingly gorgeous girls around me. The party was louder than I had anticipated as we entered and I searched for the liquor.
—-
"This was a horrible idea" i muttered the minute we entered seeing the amount of undergraduates.
"Who cares? We're here to have fun" Addison smiled walking off to the dance circle.
"You heard her? Cheer up!" mark said slapping Me on the back as he also walked away.
"You're incredible" I fumed and ran my hands through my hair.
—
After only being here for 15 minutes I decided I needed to be drunk fast. I apparently hated the sound of cheering teenagers away from their parents for the first time.
"I hope catastrophe Barbie is having fun" Cristina gibed.
"Hm I think she probably is, Cristina right?" I smiled holding the beer Izzie had gotten me to my lips. While Izzie was chatting with a jaw dropping redhead in a tight black shirt.
"Yeah"
"I need something a lot stronger, you?"
"Definitely" she nodded as we made our way to get our drinks.
—
"Tequila" I heard a small woman say as she slammed her hand on the table clearly already quite tipsy.
"I...uh...I think it's self serve" I said attempting to hide my smile.
The girl whipped her head around and I prepared to face any backlash from my comment. She was breathtaking, she had brilliant blue-green eyes that Sparked when she looked at me and a legendary smile.
"I'm sorry" she stuttered a little.
"I could help you or...I just...it's self serve, the bar" I said motioning. God what a bumbling idiot….was I drunk? No….
"I can get my own drink, thank you" she said picking up the bottle.
"Alright then" I smiled as I sipped my drink.
—
This boy was watching me, just staring. He was hot, for sure. But….I'm drunk so….is he? I don't know.
"Your staring" I grumbled at him as I shot back the only thing giving me courage.
"I'm not" he smiled at me. Damn….I was pretty sure he wasn't just drunk hot….my brain can't make up someone that crazy hot….
"You are I can see you" I pointed to him sloppily.
—
This girl was at least making the night enjoyable as we talked softly back and forth.
"Mer! Come on!" A woman with long curly black hair said grabbing the girls arms harshly and dragging her up onto the table with her as the drank straight from the bottle while they danced like lunatics.
I sighed in defeat as she stumbled away, but I decided to keep an eye on her. She was incredibly drunk and i know college guys well enough.
—
I hopped up letting go of the dignity I really didn't have as I tossed my hair around.
I felt myself getting looser and looser as the night went on. I was always trouble, my mom didn't care enough to notice so why not? Nothing too crazy just drinking and maybe some stupid boys.
I saw the guy from earlier still watching me from where I had left him earlier. I hopped down and headed towards him in what I assumed would be an epic disaster.
"I can see you" I stumbled up to him.
"See me? Good, the alcohol hasn't affected your vision yet" he flashed his excellent smile.
"You think you're funny, college boy" I stuttered sitting next to him.
"Maybe, but not College boy" he said sending me one of his magical smiles.
He was exciting, I liked him. I wasn't gonna go home with any men though, not tonight. That would just be extraordinarily dumb.
"Meri! We should get going soon….holy crap! Did you drink the entire bar?" Izzie said shocked as she hopped over also marvelously drunk.
—
The girl was embarrassed, I could see it as the blonde joked about her alcohol intake.
"Fabulous. Let's go" Her friend from earlier said as she came up almost as drunk as her friend.
"Mkay" the girl muttered as her friends headed towards the exit. While she attempted to stand up stumbling seberly and falling back onto the couch.
"Fantastic" she muttered.
"Here" I said offering the girl my arm to help her up. I had been drinking steadily all night and didn't care if I seemed too forward.
"Mmmm thanks" she said stumbling over to her friends. She had her arm around my shoulder resting on me while I helped her through the crowded room. She smelled good like….flowers or something.
"Alright" I said as we reached the front of the house.
"Thank you" she said looking up at me fearlessly before she pressed her lips against mine. She was fierce as she wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed her tongue into my mouth and I kissed her back with force before she pulled away and walked off with her friends.
I ran my hands through my toddler hair and looked up to see Addison smirking at me across the front lawn.
—
"Who was that?" Izzie asked excitedly.
"I um….don't know" I giggled.
"You're gambling meri" George said slightly tipsy.
"Am not" I said defensively
"Are too. College guys are trashy" Cristina slurred.
"Oh who cares! Did you seem his hair? Those eyes? You live your life meet"
"You only day that because you were sucking face with some tall blonde in the kitchen"
"Was not!" Izzie whined and Meredith and Cristina giggled.
"And what's his name iz?" I asked
"Um….Mark I think" She said biting her lip.
"You're both stupid" Cristina slurred.
—
"So Who was that?" Addison asked still smirking as she gracefully tried to catch up to me.
"Nobody" I said
"Didn't look like nobody, she looked like a really good friend from where I was"
"Who?" Mark asked as he caught up with the pair on their walk back to the apartment.
"Nobody" I repeated.
"Derek got some from some girl on the front lawn. Addison giggled
"Addie!"
"Hah! Knew you'd have fun, you should be grateful to me. Who was she?"
"I'm tired" I say as we entered the three bedroom apartment.
"Was she horrific or something?" Mark asked
"No!" I hissed quickly. The truth was I didn't want to talk about how happy I was that I went to that stupid college party.
"Okay….see ya in the morning dude" mark said with his hands up in surrender.
