I will be going back to the Emily/Hanna story but this is just so I get fresh ideas for it. I'm sorry for any geographical, College, lifestyle mistakes but I live in England so I don't know how things are , but I tried my best. Thanks , I hope you like it. x
Emily had only been at college for a day but she already loved it, no one knew who she was and no one had any expectations.
''Hi, I'm Taylor , I'm your room mate'' The girl sat on the bed on the left side of the room scared her when Emily opened the door. She of course had blonde hair and blue eyes; which reminded for of her best friend that had stayed in Pennsylvania to go to college where as Emily had moved to go to Arizona State because had gotten a scholarship for swimming. Aria also stayed in Pennsylvania and of course Spencer had gotten accepted into four of the ivy leagues but had chosen to go to Columbia because she liked New York (and to piss her parents off by not going to Harvard).
Emily and Hanna had grown so much closer in their last year of high school that they didn't really speak to Aria and Spencer. It had made her feel bad for awhile but they'd been with their boyfriends all the time when Emily and Hanna were together. Spencer was still with Toby and ever since Ezra got fired and went to work in Europe, Aria had been with Sean after he had driven her home from a party one night.
''Hello?'' Emily's room mate waved her hand in the front of her face.
''Oh, sorry, you just remind me of someone, well two people actually...'' '' Hi, I'm Emily, nice to meet you'' She stuck out her hand to shake Taylor's.
''So who were these people, friends, girlfriends , enemies?'' Emily thought that Taylor was teasing her, that she had some how found out but then realised that she was just asking a question.
''Well one of them is my best friend and the other ...well that's kind of complicated'' rethinking it ''wait, no it's actually freakishly complicated''
Taylor giggled at Emily's face ''Well I was actually just heading to this party but if you want you can explain it tomorrow? ''
''Sure, just save an hour or two'' They both laughed and Emily was glad that her room mate seemed to be a nice person and she thought that they might actually be friends. Emily was exhausted from the drive and moving and she couldn't stand up anymore so she let herself fall onto the bed on the right of the room.
'' I was going to invite you to the party, but you look tired and I don't think it would be your scene anyway.'' By the look of Taylor's leather jacket, black Doc. Martin's and black ripped skinny jeans, it probably wasn't Emily's scene.'' You don't want to come?''
''No I'm tired but I'll try and come to the next one, ok?''
''You should. Bye'' Taylor grabbed a bag and shut the door behind her.
The left side of the room looked like it'd been lived in for a couple of days , Taylor was probably from Arizona or somewhere close. There was a red electric guitar in the corner, about fifty CDS on the table next to the TV at the end of the room, a pile of clothes at the end of Taylor's bed and a few posters on the wall. Emily sleepy got changed into her pyjamas, got into her bed (after unpacking her blanket) , text Hanna Goodnight, hope your day went well , mine did. Call me tomorrow x x , then fell asleep.
7:00am
Taylor , although trying to climb into her bed quietly, had knocked over guitar which then knocked off her CDs , and she herself had got her foot stuck in her clothes on the floor and fallen on top of Emily.
Emily woke up in a bolt. ''OMG ! I'm sorry!'' Taylor stood up ''oh, good morning Emily''
Wow, Emily thought she couldn't smell more of alcohol if she swam in it , maybe she had. ''You're drunk''
''No, I just drunk a little lot, no.'' Emily stood up surprised, at the time, told Taylor to lie in the bed and tucked her in. ''You're gay right?''
''Yeah'' Emily wasn't surprised she had worked it out, she wasn't finding it any more.
''I think that's cool, I'm not gay but I mean I like you and I once kissed this girl and I might have liked it a lot, but I'm not gay, I like ...'' Taylor was obviously really drunk as she fell asleep without finishing.
Emily was fully awake now so she thought that she would go and see if the pool was open today and if it wasn't she would go for a run. The pool wasn't far and when she got there she saw that it was open, which was good because she needed to clear her head. She wasn't going to get involved with Taylor's problems she'd done that too many times in high school and she wasn't going to let herself get hurt again.
''Hello, can I use the pool?'' Emily asked someone that looked like they worked there, maybe the coach.
''Do you have a gym ticket?'' The women with dark brown chlorine damaged hair asked.
''oh, well I'm Emily Fields, I got a scholarship, I thought I didn't need one.''
''Ok, honey don't look worried you're right. Nice to meet you, you're the one with the record butterfly and front stroke aren't you! Well done.'' she smiled ''You can go in, and you can use the pool any time just not between 10:00pm and 5:00am.''
''Thanks'' Emily went into the changing rooms and got changed quickly. When Emily stepped out of the room and was amazed by the size of the pool, Rosewood had one Olympic length pool but here there was two Olympic pools, a large diving pool and a huge public pool.
The swim did clear her head although her body was now aching from the three hours spent in the pool (her head needed a little more clearing out than usual).
