Regina's stomach turned as she watched her parents drive away. She was finally free from her mother's controlling grasp. Until the holidays of course but that was ages away. For now she was Regina Mills, studying pre-law at Columbia University and she was going to enjoy her freedom. She unlocked the door to her dorm room and collapsed onto the small section of bed that wasn't taken up by boxes and suitcases and looked around. It was a fairly large room, she hadn't been expecting it to be as big as it was. She supposed as soon as her roommate arrived it'd shrink but for now it was just her.
She sighed and stood up. She might as well make a start on unpacking. It'd only get worse the longer she put it off and she didn't want to infringe on her roommate unpacking all of her things. She decided to start with her clothes. Regina moved to open the door to her closet and was yet again surprised at the size of it. When her boyfriend had gone off to college he'd said that his closet was minute and he'd had barely any space. Regina choked back a tear. She didn't want to think of Daniel now. She could never forget him but she'd be in an awkward position if her roommate suddenly walked in to see her crying her eyes out. What a great first impression that would make.
After carefully folding and hanging her clothes (her mum had been right to buy her some hangers, the closet only came with 3) she shoved her suitcase under her bed and moved over to the desk that sat between the closet and the window. Peering out the window she couldn't help but sigh. She had really lucked out with this dorm. She may have had to lug her boxes and suitcase up 3 flights of stairs to get to her floor but it was worth it for this view. Her room looked out over the top of the trees that lined the campus with a view of the city in the distance. It was like a scene from a postcard.
Unpacking her laptop from her satchel she put on her playlist of cheesy pop music (everyone has one) and starting making her room feel more like her. There was a bookcase on the wall above her desk that she soon filled with books for her course and a couple relaxing books she may have been optimistic in packing. Regina also placed her photo album on the top shelf, she had been very careful in picking out this album, disguising it as another boring law book so no one would go snooping through it willingly. She had wanted to bring her memories with her but wasn't ready to have people questioning them.
Next she moved onto the walls, she hadn't been allowed to have anything covering her walls at home so she didn't have anything from home to put up. She had however bought two motivational posters and one poster of her favourite Disney film, because everyone needs a bit of Disney in their life. After putting these up on the walls closest to her bed, multiple times (who knew that blutac was so tricky to use) she sat down on her bed once again.
Sighing Regina looked at the mess of empty boxes and bags that lay across her floor. A couple of her empty boxes had even made their way over to her roommates bed. Her eyes were starting to droop after such a long day of travelling, 5 hours solid (mother had refused to stop), all she wanted to do was sleep. So she pushed off the remaining bags from her bed, pulled her feet up to her chest and laid down for a nap.
The next thing Regina knew was a box, albeit an empty box, hitting her square in the chest. Sitting up sharply she watched as an angry woman threw Regina's boxes on the floor, replacing them with her own and a couple of bags. "Can you not leave your things on MY bed! I haven't even moved in and you're already taking over the room!"
Regina was still tired so she didn't have the energy to do construct a reasoned argument so she merely grabbed her keys where she'd left them on her desk and stormed out of the room in search of coffee.
Regina decided to give her roommate time to cool off and wandered around campus taking in any relevant information. Like where the nearest shop was, how much the laundry cost and most importantly, where she could get a good strong coffee. After about an hour, Regina threw her empty coffee cup in the trash and headed back up to her room.
Unlocking her door she walked in and almost immediately her foot collided with an empty box and she went flying, thankfully landing on her bed after some comical waving of hands. "What the hell?" she finally spoke when she had stood up. "Why would you leave that lying around?" with a snarky look on her face the other girl replied. "I don't know, why would you leave boxes on someone else's bed?" She returned to placing her clothes in the wardrobe leaving Regina speechless.
"At least I didn't know when you would be arriving! I was planning to move them but I fell asleep! I was up at 4 this morning so my mother wouldn't get stuck in the traffic and it was a 5 hour drive here!" each word was said with a venomous coating as she ranted at the woman she'd be having to live with for the rest of the year. "You clearly left those lying around to trip me up. I don't know what your game is Miss-" "Swan, Emma Swan and-" "But Miss Swan you can be sure of the fact that I have had a completely crap year and I do not need a roommate who will constantly be picking fights and getting on my nerve." And with that Regina once again stormed out of the room, leaving a stunned Emma in her wake.
