A/N: So I have read a couple stories like this one I have had so many
ideas that wouldn't exactly fit into NF so I figured I would write another one
Chapter 1
"Amy get down here!
If we don't leave now it is going to be dark before we even get there and I
don't really think you want to be hauling suitcases across campus in the dark"
Lou yelled from her place at the bottom of the stairs. No matter how bossy and
controlling my sister is I love her to death anyways, but even though I love
her doesn't mean I can't use my time away. "Hold on Lou I'm just making sure I
have everything I'm going to need" I said as I gave my room one more look
around for anything I might of forgotten. In couple of hours I would no longer
be waking up to the beautiful sunrise over my family's ranch, instead I would
be waking up to someone I have never met before and rushing across campus to my
days classes at Ridgepath Boarding school.
I finally decided
that I had everything I needed, grabbed my suitcase and headed down the stairs.
I hauled my bags into the kitchen to see Lou sitting at the kitchen table on
her laptop finishing up some last minute e-mails so some clients. "Okay Lou I'm
ready to go, we better get going if were still picking up Soraya" I called to
my sister as I headed out the farmhouse door and started loading my things into
Lou's car. Not too long after, Lou was outside climbing into the driver seat of
her car as I gave my grandpa a hug good-bye. Then I climbed in and we headed on
our way towards Soraya's house.
After exactly 2
hours and 13 minutes in the car Soraya and I finally pulled into the long drive
at Ridgepath. The landscaping in front of the main building was absolutely
breathtaking, large trees and thousands of flowers of every color, large marble
steps leading to the building where the guidance offices and the Dean's office
is located. The building its self was quite old, the building covered in vines
which gave it the authentic look along with the huge mahogany doors. Me and
Soraya turned around and collected our duffle bags and suitcases out of Lou's
car and said our good-bye, and before I knew it Lou's car is disappearing off
into the distance as me and Soraya head inside the building to get our room
assignment.
In the entrance of
the building there is a large Persian rug that looks so expensive I'm afraid to
even step on it. As me and Soraya head toward a grey hair lady, with glasses,
sitting behind a large desk, typing away at her computer. "Hello, were here to
get our room assignments" Soraya said quietly feeling like in such a silent
place like this she better keep her voice down. "Names?" the lady said to us
without even looking up from her desk. I look towards Soraya, "Uh Amy Flemming
and Soraya Martin, we made a special request to get roomed together..." I said,
voice slightly shaky, "Ah yes, you will be in dorm F, room number 57, but I
would like to inform you that do to the lack of girls signing up for this year
we have and uneven number, so you will be rooming with another girl I'm hoping
this won't be an issue" she said looking up from her computer ever so slightly
to look at me in the eye, but before I can even speak Soraya has already cut in
"No, that's no issue at all, well just be on our way to our dorm now thank you
for your assistance" and next thing I know I'm being dragged by my arm out of
the building, down the steps and towards the dorms.
"Another roommate
might not be so bad, at least now well have another friend instead of just each
other right?" Soraya said as we reached dorm building F. "Soraya it will be
fine, its really no big deal at least we are still roomed together right?" I
said with a smile across my face, Soraya has been my friend for as long as I
can remember, actually she's my best friend and it's just like her to get
nervous about something that really isn't a big deal. As me and Soraya stop
outside of room 57 we take a deep breath and open the already unlocked door.
But before I know it I'm standing in the front hall of the most beautiful dorm
room I have ever seen, scratch that it was more of an apartment then a dorm
room. In the front hall, there was a little side table with a bowl that had a
pair of car keys in it and a bouquet of flowers and above that was a modern
looking mirror. Just off of that there was a door leading to a closet. The more
you walk down that hall way the more the apartment opens up, to the left the
was an arch way leading into a medium sized den that has a small white couch
with multiple colorful cushions and two matching arm chairs, a glass coffee
table, and a flat screen in the middle of a wall unit filled with movies,
books, and pictures. Up the hall a little more it opened up into a enormous kitchen with an island, stainless steel fridge and the far main wall was almost all completely glass.
As me and Soraya took in the huge kitchen a auburn hair girl walked down a narrow hallway just off of the kitchen. "Hi, you must be Soraya and Amy, I'm Joni I'm your other roommate" she said with a smile on her face. She was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, and a fitted purple v-neck, her auburn hair slightly curled with her bangs pinned off to the side out of her face. "Hi Joni, its really nice to meet you, I'm Amy and this is Soraya" I said pointing to my best friend who had just claimed her spot next to me. Soraya gave her a wave and a smile and then headed back to the front door to grab her bags. Joni gave us a smile " well it's nice to meet you guys to, I hope you don't mind the bit of decorating I already did when I got here, I got kind of bored so I thought I would try to make it a little more….hommie" she said with slight nervousness in her voice, " Oh no! don't worry about it the place looks amazing" I said looking around and taking it all in again, "Yea, it looks awesome, way better than anything me and Amy would of done on our own" Joni smiled with relief " Okay then, I'll show you guys our room" and with that Joni turned around and started heading down the hallway again, me and Soraya picked up our bags and quickly followed.
Joni led me and Soraya into a large room with three beds in it: one pushed up in the far corner under a large window, another in the opposite corner (the one you see right when you walk in) and the last one in the corner across from the first on next to a pair of double doors that I assumed was a closet. "Wow this place is huge" Soraya said gaping at the packed room of boxes that still had TONS of room left over, "You can say that again" I said agreeing with Soraya's valid statement. " Well the bathroom is right across the hall, ill leave you two to get un packed then maybe we can all grab dinner together" Joni said still standing in the doorway as me and Soraya walked over to our newly claimed beds. "Sounds like a plan" I said with a smile as I plopped down on the bed in the far corner and Soraya the one next to the closet. "Okay see you guys in…an hour "Joni said looking down at her watch, me and Soraya nodded in agreement and Joni turned and walked back down the hall to the rest of the apartment.
After me and Soraya, for the most part, were done unpacking, she headed for the bathroom to get herself ready for dinner. Seeing as I had 15 minutes left I decided I should call Lou and make sure she got home okay and to let her know I was all settled in. I walked out of the room only to hear the Tv on in the living room where Joni was and Soraya getting into the shower, I decided that it was to loud and headed down the rest of the hallway away from the kitchen, only to see a door with the bright, red letters above it that read EXIT I pushed the door open and it lead to a fire escape. I sat down on one of the steps and pulled out my cell phone. I dialed the house phone only to get the answering machine so I left message " Hey guys its Amy, I just wanted to make sure Lou got home okay and to let you know I'm settling in just fine, my roommate Joni is awesome and my dorm is amazing I can't wait for you guys to see it, okay well call me later, tell Spartan I love him and I miss you all already, love you bye" an then I hung up my phone and slid it into my hoodie pocket. I took a deep breath and sighed, taking in the campus around me.
I sat there for a few more moments before I heard the sound of footsteps, just figuring it was Soraya or Joni looking for me I stood up and headed for the door. "Don't worry, everyone misses home at first but trust me a week alone and you'll be fine" The voice made me jump and I looked up to see a brown hair boy standing above me one the fire escape. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you, just thought I would say something you seemed kind of upset" With that he climbed down some of the steps and sat down on the steps so he was facing me. "I'm not upset I was just taking in the place, it's a huge change from where I live" I said looking away from him. "Ah, country folk? Yea we get quite a few here once and awhile, so what was it get sick of the country? Parents ship you off?" he said with a slight laugh. I looked down at my feet remembering how I made the decision a few years ago after my mom past away that once I was old enough I would go off on my own no matter where it was. I looked at him in the eye, and noticed the dark emerald green that they were "Does it matter?" I said with a slight crack to my voice "Hey, didn't mean to make you mad or anything I'm just the boy next door and was just curious" he said holding his hands up in surrender. "Oh well in that case. No, I made the choice on my own" he nodded his head "So what classes do you ha-" but he was cut off. "Amy?" it was Soraya "You ready me and Joni are starving!" I looked back at him and then towards the door "Yea I'm coming". I looked back at him "I better get going before my roommates kill me" I said as I started to walk away. "Talk to you later then? Amy right?" I turned around "Maybe, and yea I'm Amy" he smiled "I'm Ty, Ty Borden" I shook my head and smiled "Well then Ty, maybe ill see you, that is if my roommates don't kill me" we both laughed "See ya" I said shaking my head and headed inside. I walked down the hall towards my two waiting roommates, as I thought 'Yup this school was defiantly starting to grow on me' while thinking back to that moment where I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
A/N: OKAY I know I haven't written NF in forever but I got a new laptop cause my other one broke so that means I lost all the chapters I had writer but I was too lazy to re-write them right now so I wrote this new one instead but don't worry I will try to keep both stories up please review next chapter will hopefully be out really soon
