Chapter 1 – A place on the list
"I'm sorry, miss. You're not on the list. Are you sure you're in the right dorm hall?"
Veronica glared at the receptionist, faking an 'innocent school girl' look. "Oh, do you mean this isn't Unicorn-and-penguin-play Hall? Damn, I messed that up. Sorry, I'll just climb back on my donkey and head back to Texas." she rattled, placing her hands firmly on the counter.
The receptionist returned her look with raised eyebrows. Veronica remembered her dad's advice to always be somewhat polite to her superiors, so she took a deep breath and tried again. "Excuse me, I'm at Brown, right. And this should be Jefferson Hall, if I'm not mistaken. So pardon me, but there should be a Mars comma Veronica on this list. I need somewhere to live. Could you please check once more?"
The woman gave a stern look through her glasses but nodded anyway and stopped into the office behind her. "Thank you!" Veronica sighed, proud of herself for not starting something on her first day of college.
"Wow, you really know how to make a Miss Congeniality impression." a voice behind her said sarcastically.
Veronica grunted; some annoying guy kicking her mood even further down was just what she needed. "I'm sorry?" She turned around and laid eyes on a boy with short, black curls and laughing eyes with a smile to match. She guessed he was a freshman too. He was kind of cute, but annoying.
It took a moment for her to realize he was waving his hand in front of her face. "Whoa, where'd you go? You were looking at me like you came from Mars or something." he replied emphasizing her last name.
Yep, she was definitely right about the annoying. "Wow, clever. Did you come up with that one yourself?" Veronica scoffed, rolling her eyes at him. "I did, actually." he stated with a grin, "pretty impressive, huh."
She bit her lower lip, just staring at him, then turning around again. "Ouch, icy." she heard him mutter. She didn't do anything more to acknowledge him.
The woman from behind the counter came back with a hesitant expression on her features. "I'm sorry, Ms Mars, you were nowhere on the list, but…" she quickly added before she annoyed the testy blond opposite of her again, "I managed to guest you with a girl that had initially asked for a single dorm. She agreed to have you as a roommate."
Veronica was still a bit irritated, but she immediately felt grateful to the girl who she now had to spend the following four years with. She managed to form a smile and a "thank you very much" for the receptionist after she handed her the dorm key, her class roster and a map of the campus.
She picked up her suitcase and walked towards the right corridor, throwing a quick glance at the boy who was still smiling. Something inside her sensed it was going to be an interesting four years…
