I had this in my head and just thought i'd give it a shot, I'm going to be working on this and for the sake of politics. The next chapter of for the sake of politics should be up soon :)
Basically this is going to be from Naomi and Emily's POV in separate chapters.
read, enjoy and review :)
University life is nothing really like you'd imagine, when I started I thought it would be more work than actual fun, which I don't mind, but really it's just one giant piss up which I don't mind even more. Of course starting I was worried about not knowing anyone and being a complete sarcastic bitch that I was going to be a loser loner than people look at funny but nope making friends at Uni is also something that comes easy.
There were more perks about university too, even though I was only going to university of Bristol and I lived with my mum in Bristol I still took this as a opportunity to get my ass out of her house straight away and move into a flat, but obviously being a student, flats don't come cheap and that meant finding someone to move into one with, I just didn't want some sloppy housemate with nothing going on in their brain at all.
That's when I met Kelly, after many, many, many days of searching for somewhere to live turns out she was looking for someone to help her with half the rent, I got to look around the place and it was nice, close to university too so I wouldn't have to rush. After checking she wasn't a psychotic murderer or that she didn't have any weird sleeping habits I moved in and been here ever since.
First we had our disagreements since I study politics and she does drama, two things that don't really mix but after 2 years of living together and getting over things together we eventually started becoming great friends, then that lead to becoming best friends, which is weird because when I was younger I used to laugh at the girls who had best friends, now I really don't think I could last a day without her.
'Can you hurry up, some of us have real lectures to attend' I shout whilst banging my fists against the bathroom door, being one of the drama girls she always has to look perfect, which is so fucking annoying when you're already 20 minutes late to your lecture and she's using all the fucking hot water.
'Sorry' she hums while walking out the bathroom, toothbrush in mouth her eyes dancing with amusement.
'Why are you so happy? We're both late and you're just prancing around!' okay mornings where never really my thing, especially mornings when I'm late and rushing around, she seems so happy, bet I know why.
She pulls the toothbrush out of her mouth and spits it into the sink before throwing me a shit eating grin and fixing her hair in the mirror 'Kevin said he loved me' she says dreamily with her eyes smiling at the memory.
Oh her boyfriend, been together since the start of University, I'm happy for them I really am and I know she's been waiting for him to say it for ages, Jesus she told me she loved him after the first date so this is a long time coming.
'Finally! I'm happy for you Kel' I send her a genuine smile and she looks back at me still smiling before walking over to me
'How about Ian, is it love?' she smirks at me; I know she's teasing because fuck is it love!
Ian's my boyfriend, well I think, I don't love him or anything just started off as an innocent bit of fun and then we started to see each other more frequently, he's a bit clingy to be honest. Never really had the courage to tell him I don't want a relationship but to be honest it makes me feel less lonely since around uni everybody seems loved up. I met him in politics actually; he's got brains and the looks so I can't really see the problem with being with him right now.
'Fuck off' I scoff and she walks away laughing
'God he's nice Naomi, give him a chance'
'What do you mean a chance? I have, we're dating aren't we!'
'Yeah whenever it suits you, and then you won't take his calls for days' she reasons with me and I suppose I agree with her, but I don't want anything serious, serious things turn boring and then it'll be like a routine oh and to mention I don't really think I could ever fall in love with him.
After a couple of minutes of silence, she looks at me sympathetic and takes my hand 'Naomi I'm not having a go, I just want you to have someone nice that you're actually interested in'
I act like I don't care on the outside, but really I want someone nice I'm interested in too, someone more like me, wants the things I want and isn't just with me because I'm blonde and happen to have tits.
I smile at her and squeeze her hand back 'well you better get ready then, you know for your important lecture that is actually real' I laugh before throwing her a scowl.
Got to love your best friend really

I could walk in half an hour late, or I could get a coffee and then walk in an hour late, well you know what they say right? Better late than never and all, sure I'm not missing anything important anyway.
I can't be too late so staying on the university grounds to get my coffee seems the be the only option right now, there coffee seriously tastes of shit and I wish I could just pop into town and go to the nearest star bucks but then I'd miss the full morning and I'm sure missing that much time is against the rules.
I'm in my second year now, so I'm kind of getting used to the new faces around here, all fresh and buzzing hoping to start a new life but if they knew the truth I bet they'd all go running home to mummy and daddy not wanting to come back to this place, makes me laugh.
Sitting drinking my coffee and going over my notes a group of rather young looking people walk past, they don't look considerably younger than me but definitely not the same age, I notice the adult they're with too but I can't quite seem to put him into place, hair parted to one side, trying to look smart in a suit but he really just looks out of place being around here.
I sit staring at him for a while before it checks in my head, oh god Doug!
Doug's the guy that used to help us out in my old college, Round view. Left that place 2 years ago and I still can't get over how shit and miserable I spent the two years there, full of dickheads and complete twats that really couldn't get into university at all so it doesn't really bother me.
Now I understand what the group of people are doing, must be a open day here where he takes college students to show them what student life would be like, good luck Doug, they all look like a group of losers from the way most of the guys are totally perving on the Uni girls. No chance boys, no chance at all.
Before Doug even has time to come over and completely draw his attention to me, no doubt he remembers me since I think I was the only one at college who actually got decent A levels that year, I slip out the canteen with my takeaway coffee and head for politics. No way have I wanted to relive all the years of Doug then be forced into giving his group of fuckers a speech about how they should listen to him and try and get into university.
I mean I don't want to waste all my ti-
Smash.
'oh fuck fuck, I'm so fucking sorry' I hear a voice softly say towards me, but I'm too busy looking down at my coffee soaked shirt to actually realise what's going on. Oh fuck.
I'm about to look up to give this bitch a load of my mind, but before I have time to reach her face I catch the politics book that she has stuffed under her arm, okay so someone else like's politics doesn't mean I'm not going to fucking tell this bitch where to get off.
'What the-'I stop when my face reaches hers and she's shyly smiling at me whilst throwing a tissue into my hand, whoa I definitely haven't seen her before, I would have noticed that smile around somewhere surely, makes me feel less angry and more like I want to buy a lot of kittens from the homeless shelter. She must be a first year, as I said I haven't got used to seeing them around here yet.
I can't help but smile back at her.
'I'm such a twat, kind of in a rush' she smiles again whilst blushing, probably waiting for me to respond to what she's saying but I physically can't, she looks to fragile and I'm afraid if I open my mouth I'll say something completely twatish and she'll break.
'...are you alright' she starts to tap me on the shoulder and I'm thrown out of my trance
'Shit yeah, sorry' I laugh and she returns it and then I remember the giant coffee drenching my top
'I'm pay for it I swear, oh and the coffee' she points to the floor where the cup and rest of the coffee has fallen to.
'No, no its fine honestly, never liked the top much anyway, you've probably improved it' she starts to laugh and god its perfect, Jesus what the fucks going on here.
'oh and the coffee tastes like shit here, you probably already know' she probably does since first years usually use the canteen the most, she looks at me confused for a second but then starts to smile again.
'Shit, sorry I have to go but nice running into you' she winks before making her way past me
'You too' I reply and send a laugh her way; she just turns around and smiles before disappearing down the hall.
I stand in the same spot for a moment just staring into space, I'm hoping I see her again and I really don't even know why.
