Abigail's perspective

*How the fuck did i end up here? He didn't do that, no way. He didn't tell me that...*

Three months earlier

"Abi! ABI! GET UP! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR THE LECTURE!!"
Azia came in, shouting, as I slowly opened my eyes.
"ALRIGHT! i'm up. No need to shout. Give me 10 minutes and i'll be ready."
"Good, i'll meet you down there. I just wanna make a good first impression. It is our first day of Uni, we can't fuck it up."
"I know how important this is for you Az." I said gently. I know how much she wants to do this and what it means, that I'm here with her.
"For us, you mean. Come on, this is what we have both wanted to do since we were 14, be photogr-"
"Be photographers for famous singers then travel the world with them."
I rushed this sentence, as I leapt out of bed. The cold air hit my skin as I shivered slightly. We are both very excited about this course, Azia more so. We both chuckled, as she headed off and I started to get dressed. I looked through my clothes and picked out a white tank and blue straight leg jeans. I grabbed Azia's flannel, as she had taken my hoodie.

This should do

This should do. I quickly brushed my straight brown hair and put some mascara over my dark green eyes and hurried out the door, grabbing my bag on my way. Azia is right, we do need to make a good impression. IT IS THE FIRST DAY OF UNI, FOR GODS SAKE. This is what every secondary student dreams of. Being free to do what you want and live alone, and as I'm with my best friend this will be the best experience ever. Plus we're not doing a boring course. Photography had been something that we both enjoyed for a really long time. It was the thing that made up friends. I remember going into my fist ever photography class, when I was 9, and seeing her sat there, telling the teacher that he was taking the photos wrong. From that day we had been best friends. When we were 14, we decided that this was something we wanted to do forever, as long as we did it together.

Even though all we needed was eachother, Azia and i are itching to make new friends. We met a couple people on our floor but they were either: bitches, fuckboys or too shy to even talk to us, I don't blame them though, this is kinda scary. Azia has never had a problem with socialising. She is loud, confident and a bit of a sassy bitch, but i love her for that. Me on the other hand, am more reserved and quiet, but in no way mature; neither of us are. Again this is why we're best friends. I was sucked out of my thoughts, as I walked up to the lecture hall. I pushed it open the doors, quite literally shitting myself. Here goes nothing.

Azia's perspective

I got changed into some mom jeans and a white top. Abi still wasn't up and we were going to be late.
"Abi. ABI GET UP YOUR GOING TO BE LATE FOR THE LECTURE"
I walked in as she replied.
She leapt out of bed and I walked out of the room, grabbing her brown hoodie on the way. It matched my outfit.

Me and Abi have been friends since we were 9

Me and Abi have been friends since we were 9. I think the fact that we're polar opposites, makes the dynamics work. I don't know why she's friends with me to be honest. I'm a real bitch sometimes and I'm not the nicest person to be around. But she sticks around for some reason. I love her for it though. She's the only person who's been by my side for everything. She waited after every detention. She stuck with me when my mum left. When me and Will broke up. When I was diagnosed. She was really the best. But i wish I could repay her for it all. But she's little miss perfect. Nothing bad ever happens to her.  I hope one day that I can finally show her the love that she gives me. I do love her though. More than anyone in the world.

I took my seat at the back of the hall. I looked around to see that the class was predominantly boys. There was only one other girl and she was heading my way.
"Hey, is this your first year?"
"Yeh me and my friend are new. She should be here soon. Is the whole class boys apart from us?"
"Yep, just us three. I have to say it's nice to have other girls. They guys are nice, but they can be real dicks sometimes."
"I bet they can"
I glanced around. There was about 9 guys. Plus the three of us, makes 12. Wow, this isn't a popular class. The door opened and Abi came rushing in and stood looking around. I waved, as she came up the steps to the back. She took her seat, as the professor came in. I can't believe this is actually happening.
