16th October 1998

Dear diary,

Rae Earl has completed her first week at university without any major mental breakdowns, I say major because I MIGHT have had a minor one. First official week in lectures and I lost my room key, didn't I? Me being who I am tried to keep her cool but ultimately failed, until a super fit boy came to my rescue.

Half crying, half laughing at my situation, flapping through my rucksack for the damn key when I hear behind me "Urm excuse me" in the most sexy voice imaginable, I turn around and see this god, the perfect rockstar or indie music lover haha. Okay, maybe I'm still lusting over Finn. Thinking of Finn actually, other than popping up in my sex mad dreams, I haven't heard from him, I gave him the number for the public telephone that's in my dormitory but nothing. To be honest, I haven't even had the time to think about him, that sounds awful but life is so hectic and I'm sure he understands that completely, I mean he's probably super busy too, finding all the hot girls at his new job.

Back to the initial story of my meeting of a total ROCK GOD. In between trying to stop my eyes from popping out my head and flustering around for my room key, that was lost, for sure. I was doomed. HOW WOULD I GET BACK INTO MY ROOM? I would be homeless. Or worse, carted off back home to Mum and Karim. At least being here, mum doesn't hid all my Kit-Kats. Haha. That was a joke.

Dialogue went like this…

*Picture me, sweaty hair, sweaty face, hot puffy cheeks and basically looking like a pig in mud*

*Picture him, glossy black hair, a nice perky bum and the smilest smile you ever did see*

"Are you okay? You look a little panicked." (He says to me, in the most typically British London accent. Swooning. Like. Mad.)

"I… I… (For god sake Rae GET IT OUT) can't find my room key"

I could almost feel the tears about to pour, what an embarrassment I would be, especially on meeting this lad for the first time, crying, sweaty and point blank GROSS. With the cheekiest smirk on his face and a hand revealing itself from behind his back, dangling from his fingers were a set of keys. Obviously mine. What a life saver!

"You'll never guess what I found, lonely outside" He smirked.

That smirk. My ovaries. BOOM. *Draws mini explosion*

"Oh my goodness. Oh my god. Thank you, literally thank you so much. I could have died, well slight exaggeration, I would have cried if I couldn't get in."

Okay this new lads nickname is smirk, it's all he does, smirk here, smirk there.

"It's my pleasure, it's also nice to meet you."

Question: Do I shake his hand or hug him? Neither Rae, you're not in a business meeting and you have 5 minutes ago just met him.

"Thank you again, I'm Rae. I'd invite you in because another flat mate Megan just brought me round some cookies but my room is a bomb waiting to go off" I panicked slightly.

"Oh cookies from Megan? Where's the surprise?" (He smirked AGAIN!)

"I knew her before I moved in here, she's like the world's best baker. I'm surprised I'm not the size of a house" Obviously thinking weight was an issue, his face turned the colour of a tomato.

"Oh god, wait I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that!" He replied after looking me up and down.

"I'm Taylor, call me Tay if you still want to be friends" Losing all confidence and reversing back into shyness, his voice broke with his reply.

I could do nothing but laugh it off, he didn't offend me, although I kinda wish he did come into my room and eat my cookies for me, I could perhaps lay off the cookies for a while.
