Chapter 2
I woke up the next morning remembering last night, going out for dinner with Joni and Soraya, checking out the rest of the campus, finding out where my classes are, turns out that I have every single one of my classes with either Soraya or Joni. I could tell that I was going to have an awesome year at this school and I could hardly wait for it to start.
I slowly got out of bed to find Soraya fast asleep but Joni already up and out of the room. I grabbed a hoodie from the end of my bed that I had thrown there last night before going to bed and walked out of our room quietly towards the kitchen. I saw Joni sitting at the table with her laptop pulled out as she munched away on an English muffin. "Morning" I said sleepily as I sat down across the table from her, "Hey, I hope I didn't wake you classes don't start for another 2 hours so I was going to let you guys sleep a little more" she said as she looked up at me while closing the lid of her laptop. "Nope don't worry about it, I didn't even hear you get up I was actually kind of surprised to find you not still in bed" I said with a laugh. Joni looked out the huge window of the kitchen over the campus "just nerves" she said sort of quietly. I could tell she was being completely serious "Hey, don't worry I'm nervous to. But just think we have first and last period together plus lunch so well start this first day together and end it together okay?" I said trying to make her feel better and less nervous, she looked up at me and smiled " Okay, hey let's get Soraya out of bed and get ready maybe we can go chill around campus a bit before class" I nodded and grabbed Joni's plate. "Okay, let's go" I said setting the plate in the sink and heading back towards the bedroom.
After 10 minutes of trying to drag Soraya out of bed, Joni and I finally got her up but of course the second she's up she claims the bathroom for half the morning so me and Joni have to deal with the things in our room to use. Joni ended up picking out a pair of blue, dark wash skinny jeans and a tight yellow V-neck. Seeing as we have an outlet and a curling iron in our room I gave Joni's auburn hair loose curls and pinned her bangs out of her face. I slide on a pair of black skinny and a red, Abercrombie pull over that my sister had bought me for my birthday, I'm usually not that into brand names but the sweater just happened to be really comfortable. Joni pulled my hair into a high ponytail and left my side bangs to cover my right, stormy grey eye. We both quickly applied some eyeliner and mascara and headed out to the front hall area to wait for Soraya.
Me and Joni waited another five minutes before Soraya finally appeared in front of us, wearing dark jeans a black tank top and a cute printed top over that. I slide my feet into a pair of brown ugg like boots, and slide my brown messenger bag farther up onto my shoulder. Once Soraya and Joni were ready we head out the door down the hall and onto campus.
The campus was overly packed, there was easily three times more then there was last night when we went out for dinner. Just seeing how many kids there was my stomach started to turn again, I had no idea why I was so nervous, I'm not the kind of person who gets nervous about things like starting school, or trying to make an impression. Me, Joni, and Soraya started to head towards the court yard just to see even more people so we made a quick turn and headed for a group of trees where I could see a small group of people sitting on and around a picnic table. As we got closer I recognized one of the guys as the guy from the fire escape, Ty. He looked up to notice me at the exact same time I was looking at him, we made complete eye contact so it wasn't like I could just turn my head and pretend I didn't notice him. "Hey! Amy right? Come over here for a second I want to introduce you to my friends". Soraya looked over at me, gaping and could read from the look she was giving me exactly what she was saying, oh my God! He's so hot! And how does he know your name, oh Amy you have got some serious explaining to do later then Soraya looked back over at him smiling, then she suddenly grabbed me and Joni's arms and started dragging us towards the group.
"Uh, Hey Ty I'm actually surprised you remembered my name" I said trying to smile and let out a slight laugh so it didn't completely look like I was going to pass out. "How could I not remember my own neighbor's name" he said with a smile. "NEIGHBOURS!" Soraya and a brown haired boy both shouted at the same time. "Uh yea," Ty said looking between the boy and Soraya "Ben this is Amy and…" he stopped short. "Soraya" Soraya spoke up and then shot Joni a look, "Oh, yea I'm Joni" she said looking down at her converse.
"Amy, Soraya, and Joni just moved into the apartment below us, I met Amy last night when I went onto the fire escape to get away from you arguing with your Aunt on the phone, and Amy just happened to be out there to calling her family" he said giving me a smile. I just laughed at the look Ben was giving Ty out of the corner of his eye like Ty said something to us that was supposed to be kept a secret. "So anyways…" Ty said turning fully back to us "now that you've met Ben, my roommate, this is Scott," He said pointing to a Brown haired boy with kind of long, but not to long it was kind of a skater look. "And this is Steven" he said pointing to a taller boy with shaggy blonde hair and blue eyes. "Nice to meet you guys" I said with a friendly smile towards them and Joni nodded in agreement.
After getting to know the guys a bit, I looked down at my phone which had just recently started vibrating. It was a text from Soraya.
I'm telling you right now I shoty Ben, but not like it matters you totally have the hot's for Ty ;)
I just rolled my eyes and snapped my phone shut not even bothering with texting her back and that was when I realized the time. "Hey, guys when does homeroom start" I asked nervously not even looking up from the time. "8:30, why?" Ben said looking up from his conversation with Soraya to look at me. "Its 8:25! Guy's we really need to get going!" I said grabbing my bag as everyone scrambled to their feet and grabbed their bags. "Okay guys, I'll see you all later I have to get to Science its all the way on the other side of campus" Soraya said walking away. "Hey, wait up!" Steven yelled "I have that class too, ill come with you and Ben is right next door" Soraya smiled and her, Ben, and Steven all hurried off towards class. Scott looked at Joni, "What class do you have?" she pulled her schedule out "English, me and Amy have it together" Ty looked down at his too "Hey me too looks like we're all going to be spending a lot of time together" Joni looked towards Scott "You?" he sighed "Chemistry" but its not that far, want me to walk you to class, so….you know….you don't get lost" A huge grin spread on Joni's face "I'd really like that" and her and Scott were off."And then there was two" Ty said smiling. I just shook my head and grabbed his bag and shoved it into him laughing "Come on lets go I don't want to be late on my first day"
