"So! Many! Stairs!" I groaned out dramatically letting my suitcases fall down on the ground and falling face first on my bare bed. Letting out a groan I rolled over onto my back looking at the ground seeing I still had one more suitcase and 5 boxes to bring up. "Why am I so weak!" I cried out sitting up pouting. "Son of a bitch," I mumbled out heading out the door abruptly stopping just as I was about to collide with Jarvis carrying the remainder of my stuff.
"This should be all of them Miss," Jarvis said carefully placing my stuff on my empty desk. Jarvis let out a sigh placing his hands on his hips his eyes slowly swelling up with tears.
"Oh Jarvis," I said smiling sadly at the man that helped raise me. "I'm not even going to be that far away Jarvis. Plus I'll be coming home during the holidays unless you want to go visit the family which I'll be completely okay with." I told him seeing a few tears roll down his slightly wrinkled face. "Oh come here you big softie," I said holding my arms open as he quickly pulled me into his arms sniffling.
"The company and apartment won't be the same without you," Jarvis sniffled, "Oh miss it seems like just yesterday you were starting your first day of private school."
"Eloisa," I said chuckling feeling my eyes swell up with tears. "You've known me and raised me long enough to be able to call me by my first name Jarvis. Not just miss," I told him wiping a few tears that managed to escape.
"You've grown up into a beautiful woman and I've had the pleasure of witnessing it happen," he said squeezing my shoulders reassuringly just as his phone started beeping and ringing like crazy.
"Company," I smiled knowingly.
"Company," he nodded cracking a smile and letting me go. "Call if you ever need anything at all!" he said giving me one last hug, pulling out his phone and walking out of my single bed dorm room.
"Guess it's time to decorate," I sighed closing my door and putting my hair up getting ready to get down to business.
"Hungry!" I shouted rubbing my tummy as it started to grumble. "Food" I whined looking at the time on my computer seeing that it was already 7 pm. "Orange chicken?" I asked myself looking up at my ceiling from my position on my carpet covered floor. "Where could one get some?" I pondered as a knock grabbed my attention.
"Freshman night," the voice said slowly turning my door knob "since no one said no I'm assuming it would be okay to go in," the voice said peeking its head in revealing a girl's smiling face.
"Is this one saying no too?" another voice said peeking its head through revealing a male. Both looked down at me with a question face that I returned.
"Cool room," they both said smiling at me.
"Food?" I asked them hopefully earning a chuckle from the guy.
"Pizza, Chinese, pasta and a bunch more plus games," the guy happily said while a wide grin plastered my face.
"I'm sold!" I happily said quickly getting up and running out the door towards the food.
"She doesn't know where the place is does she?" the guy asked smiling.
"Nope," the girl said ending the word with 'P' sound.
"I don't know where it is," I asked standing behind them embarrassed.
"How far did you go?" the guy asked amused.
"Outside," I told him placing my phone on my lips smiling timidly.
"Cafeteria," the girl said as I perked up.
"Straight to the center then right until the statue then left and it where the balloons are," the girl said as I nodded running outside shouting a quick thank you.
"We didn't even tell her that you're the head for girls and I'm the head for boys in these dorm rooms," the guys said chuckling closing the door.
"Really hope she brought her keys," the girl said walking to the next double dorm room.
Josh's POV
"How are you liking it so far?" Andrew asked me patting my back as we walked into the cafeteria seeing it full of freshmen.
"You know you didn't have to come with me man," I asked him smiling waving at a few people I had talked to when I was getting settled in.
"I know but free food," he said quickly walking to the tables full of different types of junk food. "I'll pretend to be a freshman until I can eat no more." he greedily said scarfing down an entire slice of pizza. Laughing I decided to look around hoping to find something to do while Andrew ate the night away.
When they said they had games I had assumed they meant board games but no they actually went all out for us. The had 6 Guitar Hero's set up on side of the room, Just Dance on the opposite side, pool, and a bunch of other stuff. Everything looked like fun and everyone seemed to be having a blast making new friends. Looking around I caught sight of a lost and confused girl. An extremely cute girl to be exact. It was the girl that fell on me on the train girl!
"H-Hey," I stuttered out tapping her on the shoulder. Apparently, my legs had a mind of their own and ended up walking towards her. "You're the girl that fell on my lap on the train a few weeks ago, right?" I asked her seeing her brown eyes go wide behind her glasses.
"Oh my god," she whispered as I noticed her cheeks start to turn red. "I am so sorry for that! I lost my balance and before I could stop myself...I'm sorry," she rushed out covering her cheeks with her hands.
"It's, uh, okay," I told her rubbing my neck awkwardly. "You, um, look really cute in that," I told feeling my face heat up as I saw her's turn even redder but send me a shy smile my way.
"Thanks," she told me biting her bottom lip, "Uh Eloisa," she said holding her hand out, "my names Eloisa the girl you fell on your lap."
"Joshua," I told her grabbing her hand which was extremely soft, "but people call me Josh. I'm the guy you fell for," I told her winking earning a chuckle and shake of her head.
"Smooth," she teased moving her eyes down to us still holding and shaking hands.
"Sorry," I said quickly releasing her hand.
"Wanna play Guitar Hero?" she suggested, "I'm pretty sure I can beat you," she teased smiling at me heading over to the empty Guitar Hero set.
"You sure about that," I challenged her as she turned around smiling big at me.
"I'm positive," she said strapping on one of the guitars.
"You're gonna loose," I warned her putting on the other guitar.
"I think you used the wrong word when referring to yourself," she said picking a Beatles song on difficult.
"Bring it," I said.
30 Minutes Later
"Eloisa! Eloisa! Eloisa!" the crowd cheered as Eloisa and I played our last to see who was actually the better one at that game. A Dance Gavin Dance song boomed through the speakers while I peeked overseeing that Eloisa was singing along to the song and dancing. Those few seconds of seeing how much fun she was having regardless of being all hot and sweaty those seconds made me miss a few cords and I ended up falling behind.
"Boom!" Eloisa happily yelled as the screen showed who the official winner was. "I win!" she yelled pumping her fist up in the air as the crowd behind us were yelling and cheering for her victory.
"You win," I told her laughing at her excited face. "I was wrong."
"Yes you was," she said shaking her hand as the crowd was slowly disassembling a few patting Eloisa on her back congratulating her or telling her how cool she looks.
"Parties over freshies," one of the older students yelled at us. "Time to go back to your dorms and get ready for classes tomorrow!" another yelled earning moans and groans from everyone.
"Well this was fun," Eloisa said placing the guitar back on its stand. "I guess I should be heading back to my dorm then.
"Yeah me too," I said placing my hands in my jean pockets. "Classes and all."
"Yup, well goodnight!" she said patting her bare thighs rocking back and forth. "I, uh, really like that AC/DC shirt."
"I like your shorts," I said unsure earning a small laugh from her.
"Night Josh," she said smiling at me and giving me a small wave before heading out.
"Night," I said waving at her back.
"Ready?" Andrew asked nodding towards the door.
"Yeah."
