Chapter 2 : Roommates .
"Hi Alexis. Sorry I'm late. It's me Elle Copper. " Elle greeted her new roommate in front of the room as she put down her luggage by her side.
A redhead girl around her age opens the door as they finally meets Elle's eyes . She has a short wavy hair and covers all her forehead with her bangs. Her complexion was fair with a dusting of freckles. She has a beautiful dark brown eyes and was wearing a grey sleeveless shirt with Nike logo in the middle and a short pants just below her knees. This girl certainly look pretty toned up based on the muscles on her hand as an Adidas white towel around her neck, wiping with off her leftover sweats.
"Ah ! Yes . You're the person who leaves a lot of voice messages, aren't you? Call me Alex. It's really nice to meet you, Elle ! I didn't see you during the orientation week." she reached out her hand for a firm handshake to Elle.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Alex .I had a problem during that week that I couldn't attend." She smiled as she explained to the sporty girl.
"Oh , It's no big deal . It's Just the orientation. It was boring after all .Not a big deal much." She chuckled.
"Oh come in, please" she stand aside to make way for Elle to past through.
"Let me help you with that" Alex took one of Elle's bag place it beside her bed.
"Thank you, Alex" she smiled and noticed how huge their room is for only 2 person. She observed Alex's side that was full of sport brand product from the bed sheet until her water bottle. Ella let out a loud sigh as she fall on the soft bed.
"Which part of England?" Alex blur out with a question.
"London" The blond girl was slightly impressed how her roommate knows a bit about her. Maybe because of the accent. But it seems she didn't know that she had live inside the orphanage house.
"What a coincidence! I live there as well. Only for a year though. Family and I move out from America because of my father's job. Hey ! The welcoming party is happening right know down the grand hall. My friends will be here soon. You wanna join?" The girl invited Elle as she took her Iphone on her study desk and walk toward the door.
"Oh I wish I could If I still have the energy. But it has been a long day for me" she sighed, still lying on her bed, appreciating the comfort of the soft pillow underneath her head.
"I understand. You must be tired as hell. Hey , no worries , tomorrow's the last day for it ." Alex assured.
*Knock Knock Knock*
"hey Alex ! come on , you gonna miss the food they're serving" a boy's voice calling for the redhead girl and a sound of people chattering was heard beyond the door.
"Ah! Wait! Chat with you later Elle ! Gotta dash" she said before leaving the room. The door was slightly open as she could hear people voices .
"Guy's do you think Matt Buckner gonna drop by at the party? Some other people from other university did"
"No freaking idea , dude. Quit talking about him already"
"come on fellas ! you don't want to miss the party !"
Elle stood up from her bed and closed the door and starts unpacking her belongings from her haversack. She took out a picture frame and held it tightly to her chest as tears began to fall from her eyes.
" Mum , Dad . Don't worry. I'll overcome this and make you proud" She raised her head to the window, looking at the full moon.
"I hope you hear my voice from here"
