Chapter 1: Moving in.
Sarah sat anxiously at the edge of her bed while she waited to meet her college roommate for the next year while she attended Stanford University. She twirled her long blonde hair between in fingertips. She had moved in a few days earlier because of the track team tryouts, and today was the day she was going to meet her roommate. With a little tap on the door, a tallish brunette appeared.
"You must be Sarah, I'm Ellie" The girl spoke.
"Nice to meet you Ellie. Do you need any help with your bags." Sarah asked.
"Well I've put my boyfriend and brother to work doing that, that is before they move into their dorms" Ellie smiled.
"It must be nice to have them to help" Sarah grinned. A goofy curly haired boy, entered the room, panting from exhaustion.
"Next time you pick your room, please pick on building with an elevator or on the ground floor" the boy said before laying down on the Ellie's bed, closing his eyes. He peaked through them for a quick second and notice the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, which caused him and jump up. "Ellie, you didn't tell me that your roommate was already here" he said as he glared at her.
"Chuck this is my roommate Sarah, and I didn't tell you because I just walked in the door" Ellie said with a smile. "As you can tell this is my brother" Ellie giggled.
Sarah eventually insisted in helping Chuck and Devon bring Ellie's things up as she seemed to be in better shape than Chuck and was able to move the process along. Sarah hadn't thought much about of her roommates goofy looking brother, but he had managed to make her smile as he struggled to carry the mini fridge up the stairs.
"Here, I can help you" Sarah said as she grabbed a side of the mini fridge.
"Thanks, playing copious amounts of videos games has not helped me in the strength department" Chuck smiled with relief.
After all of Ellie's things had been brought to the room, Sarah insisted that she help Chuck with his things. It was only fair, besides which he looked like he was gonna collapse.
"No you really don't have to help, I swear I'll be okay" Chuck stated.
"I want to, besides which I think your like the only friend I've made so far, other than your sister and she was getting crazy with all the organizing" Sarah smiled.
"Fine, but don't judge my belongings." Chuck agreed
"What do you have a bunch of action figures or something?" Sarah asked
"They are called memorabilia and they are exact replicas" Chuck stated. Which caused Sarah to laugh.
While Sarah was helping Chuck unpack, his roommate walked in. "Hi, I'm Bryce" the tall handsome boy smiled.
"Hi I'm Chuck" Chuck greeted his roommate. As he stood there awkwardly he realized he should have introduced Sarah.
"Aren't you going to introduce me to your girlfriend?" Bryce asked. Sarah blushed and Chuck stood in silence, this guy thought Chuck had a girlfriend, university was going to be a great place.
"I'm not his girlfriend, we just met actually." Sarah smiled "Oh and I'm Sarah."
Later that evening, Ellie and Sarah had decided to meet up with the boys for dinner. The group of them talked and laughed, they were definitely enjoying the university lifestyle. They had been invited to a frat party that night, well actually Sarah and Ellie had but told the boys that they could come too, because it was probably safer for them to have them there. The girls got ready and met Devon, Chuck and Bryce around 9 pm, they had a few drinks at Chuck and Bryce's room before heading off to the party. Sarah hadn't had many friends this past few years with the colourful past her father had lead, she was mostly known as Jailbait. Which pretty much caused high school to suck, but university was most definitely going to be a turning point for her. She had felt so included and enjoyed hanging out with these new friends, she hoped nothing would change how she was feeling.
