Chapter 2: Roomies
I took hold of the door knob, turned it and pushed the door open. We stood in the doorway, looking through into what would now become our home. There was a pixie looking girl, dancing around and singing
"Lollipop,
must mistake me you're the sucker Womanizer,
woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer
To think that I would be a
victim not another
Say it, play it how you want it
But no way
I'm never gonna fall for you, never you, baby
Oh, womanizer, oh, you're a
womanizer baby
You, you-you are, you, you-you are
Womanizer,
womanizer, womanizer"
I was first to venture into the unknown land, Rose followed me in. The girl still hadn't noticed us so I politely cleared my throat. The girl turned to face us, whilst pressing the mute button. She walked isn't really the correct phrase she more danced than walked over to us and grabbed me in an iron vice type hug and then Rose. She stepped away from us
"Hiya Roomies I'm Alice, who are you two?" her voice was like bells to my ears
"I'm Rose, this is Bella" she pushed me forward as she said my name and me being me I fell over. Alice offered her hand to help me up.
"Thanks and Hi" Alice took hold of my hand, pulled me towards the sofa and pushed me into the seat.
"By the way we have three other roommates looking at the number rooms, there's six but none of them are here yet. So are you gals gonna get your stuff yet? " she told us
"No we got ours delivered here this morning, Rose brought nearly all her clothes and we couldn't fit them truck!" I laughed and looked at Rose, she was giving me evils
"Well a girl can never have too many clothes" Rose stated, Alice squealed and hugged Rose at the same time
"I can tell we are gonna be great friends!" and she squealed again
"Okay, well I'm gonna go organise my stuff, nice to meet you Alice" and I walked/ran down the hall to find my room. "Isabella Swan" finally I found it! I opened the door and was greeted by my suitcase, note I said suitcase not suitcases, which I ever so gracefully tripped over. I got up, brushed myself off and took a good look at my room. It was a powder blue colour with a plain desk in the left hand corner, with a few shelves above it and in the other corner was a single bed, which was waiting to be made, and the final thing made me laugh, it was a small wardrobe and a dresser. If everyone's room was identical then Rose, and possibly Alice, would have a hard time fitting all her clothes into that tiny thing. I lifted my case onto the bed and opened it. I took out my books, which included my favourites Wuthering Heights, Romeo and Juliet, Pride and Prejudice and A Midsummer Nights Dream, and placed them on the few shelves I had. Next I took out my jeans and sweats, deciding those could go in the wardrobe, then my tops and jackets and placed them in the dresser, followed by my underwear. After that I took out my bedspread and pillow case and dressed the bed. Finally I took out my laptop and charger, placed it on the desk and plugged it in, bringing up my email.
'Dear dad,
We just got to our dorm and we've already met one of our roommates, her name is Alice but I'm sure Rose will tell you more about her. They are like best friends already. Rose had a run in with a boy already, his name was Mike, it was quite funny actually. He said something bout her dress and it lookin better on his bedroom floor, she kicked him right in his "area". Everyone was laughing, I sorta felt sorry for this "Mike" but I guess he did deserve it! I miss you already daddy!! Love you lots!! Email you soon! Xxxx'
I pressed send and closed down the laptop before exiting to the living area.
