Delilah:

"Columbia University is a private Ivy League research university in Upper Manhattan, New York City. Originally established in 1754 as King's College by a royal charter of George II. We have a 6.9% acceptance rate and will not tolerate bad manors or behavior, it is vital you attend all of your classes and keep your grades to a high extent, we will not hesitate to unroll you. We have 31 varsity teams here at Columbia and we hope at least some of you would be happy to join one of them, and accept the support of the schools mascot, the Columbia Lion, each day you will receive the Columbia Daily Spectator, we look forward to our time with you."

My long ombre hair smacked a few students as I spun on my toes to face Theresa. I awkwardly apologized before placing my attention back to her.

"We're here!" i say with a giddy smile.

"Yes Del, we are." She says slightly unimpressed.

"Why aren't you jumping with joy and buying brochures and banners and HATS!" I say before running to the guy at a nearby stand. Theresa follows. "Hey Thea you should get one too." I say as I hand the boy my money.

"No I'll be right, actually I think you have a bag full of enough touristy things for the entire school." She rolls her eyes.

"Don't be so over dramatic-"

"Oh Crap!" I advert my attention from the boy handing me the hat to Thea only to see her running after the group of students and tour guide we had been following all morning, I began running after her immediately regretting the milkshake and hot dog i ate from the cafe this morning, also now noticing how much this bag actually weighs.

Theresa:

My trustworthiness should be taken into consideration as I handed Delilah the map and of course we are lost, clearly I have learnt nothing from high school.

"Lilah, give me the map!" I cry, as if i was a two year old girl throwing a tantrum.

"No! I've got this, it says that the dorms should be near some triangle box." She says biting her lip looking around.

"Just, ugh." I say snatching the map of her. "Well it would of helped if you were actually holding the map the right way up." I say looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

"If you hadn't of snatched it of me I probably would of noticed that, but no your to impatient." She looks at me hands on her hips.

"Yeah yeah, whatever you say. Are you  serious?" I yell.

"What?" 

"The damn dorm rooms are on the other side of the campus, damn it, last time I hand you a map. No matter how much you beg." I shake my head and begin walking off.

"You really learnt nothing in high school did you." She laughs following.

When we reach the dorms we open the door to find two beds two desks, two walk in closets and bathrooms on either side of the room.

"I call dibs on this one!" Del yells running to the left side of the room throwing her stuff everywhere.

"If you get my side dirty I will kill you got it." I point my finger at her frowning.

"Who says I'll even get my side dirty?" She looks at me like she's an innocent child.

"Del, your like a snail, filth follows you around, you leave stuff everywhere." I sigh.

I begin unpacking my things, I can't believe I'm in university, I'm in America!! This year is going to be amazing, I smile to myself and glance over at Delilah who is humming away to music and wearing the exact same smile as myself.
