Chapter 2

After we had the first encounter with my new roommate my mother,Luka and Arthur left, to avoid another confrontation and to leave me to settle in. As soon as the closed I collapsed onto my single bed, that was pushed up in the corner of my small dorm room. I finally took a look around my dorm room. In the two top corners of the room were two single beds pushed as far into the corner of the room as they could be. At the end of each of the beds was a small double doored wardrobe. I got up off the bed a quickly unpacked all my clothes hanging up each skirt, short, dress and trousers making sure they had no creases in them and put any clothes that did have creases in a pike to iron later. I sat back down on my bed pulling out my psychology, maths, English Lit and Media text books before grabbing my planner. I was half way through writing out all the classes into my planner before my roommate burst through the door with the two guys in tow.

'Hey Lil. What are you doing?' Hollie said flopping down on her bed.

'Just filling out my timetable for the year then I'm going to get a head start on the work load.' I replied shoving my ear bud into my ears.

'Oh, you can't sit in hear on the first night of semester. Come out and have fun with us.' Hollie said pulling my ear buds out of my ears.

'I'm sorry but I really can't if I don't get a head start then I won't have a clue what he's talking about when classes start on Monday.' I replied replacing the ear buds.

'Just give up Hol. She's not gonna come. She's as fun as a wet weekend.' The blonde guy Ross told Hollie. It really angered me that this guy does not even know me and yet he is judging me.

'Fine I will come then. Where are you going anyway?' I asked.

'Oh. AJ and his room mate Kyle are having a party. Theey live in a place off campus.' She replied shooting me a grin.

'OK. Cool.' I replied.

Hollie then turned to Ross and AJ and said 'Guys you have to go now. It takes time to look good.'

'Bye Hollie. Bye Lil.' AJ said leaving with Ross in tow.

'So. What are you wearing?' Hollie asked.

'Um. I'll probably just wear a dress that I brought with me.' I replied, getting up to rummage through my wardrobe.

'OK. Well I'm gonna go for a coffee. Will you be alright? I'll be gone for like half hour. Do you want anything?' Hollie asked.

'Uh, yeah I should be alright. I'm gonna go for a shower Anyway. and yeah, can you get me a black coffee two sugars please.' I said, grabbing a towel, a bra, panties and a pair of sweats with a sweatshirt.

'OK, see you soon.' She replied making her way out of the dorm room.

I made my way to the communal showers and hung my clothes up on the hook before taking my shower. Yhere is nothing more refreshing then having a shower.

After I was finished showering I quickly slipped into my sweat pants and sweatshirt and made my way back to my dorm room. When I opened the door Ross was laying on Hollies bed reading one of the many Kerrang Magaizes she had stacked up on her bedside table. As I walked in he looked up quickly and once he noticed it was me started to read the magazine again. I made my way over to the mirror and brushed my hair before pulling it into a pony tail.

' I thought you were going to the party tonight.' Ross said as I got settled back onto my bed to do some studying.

'I am.' I replied focussing on my psychology textbook.

'Aren't you going to get ready then?' He asked.

'Not with you in here. No.' I replied turning the page on my textbook.

'Why not? I won't look.' He said with an amused look on his face. I scoffed.

'It does not matter any way because I am waiting for Hollie to come back with my coffee. I do not want to spill it down my dress.'

'Fair enough.' He said turning back to his magazine.

I was in the room for ten minutes Aline with Ross before Hollie came back.

"Please tell me you are not wearing that to the party!" She said looking at my attire.

"Um no. I was gonna get changed after I have had my coffee and after he has left." I said gesturing my hand towards the blonde haired boy sprawled out on Hollues bed.

"OK. Ross scram and let the girls get to work. I'll meet you in the carpark in like an hour." She said opening the door and waiting till he had left before closing it again.

"I don't like your boyfriend very much." I said to Hollue as she turned to her wardrobe.

"What Ross?" She asked. I nodded before she burst out laughing.
