I woke up in a chilling sweat. Maybe it wasn't the best sleep after all but I can't remember for the life of me what night terrors woke me up this time.

But lucky me it woke me up just in time. It was now 8:00 am I have to be there at 9:00 and I only have 30 minutes to get ready ahhh.

I ran to the bathroom ignoring the fact there was a girl fast asleep in the bed next to me with half her stuff unpacked. I quickly Chuck my pj's on the flor of the bathroom and get into the shower while the water is still cold because I didn't give it time to heat up.

I quickly washed myself and my hair got out and dried off and chucked on some clothes I first grabbed.

It was some denim shorts a white top and I paired it with hone if my oversized zip up hoodie in case it gets cold

It was some denim shorts a white top and I paired it with hone if my oversized zip up hoodie in case it gets cold. But it's the beginning of September it's not that cold. I sat down at my desk looking at the mirror in front of me. Jeez I was not a morning person.

I quickly dried my hair roughly. But it was still a bit damp and put on some blush, mascara, and a tiny bit of lip gloss. I have never been much of a makeup person I never really got teen spots or acne. It was now 8:25 and it took thirty minutes to walk there. So I grabbed my socks and turned to grab my air forces and noticed another pair of shoes and then it hit me. My roommate has been here the whole time. I looked over at her she was still peacefully sleeping I mad e a bit to introduce myself later.

And with that chucked my Phone, headphones, reading book, keys, and the pamphlets I got given yesterday and ran out the door. I run out into the street and swiftly walked to the meeting point for the orientation for the freshman using this handy map the lady gave me yesterday.

As more freshman gathered around a small man with a loud voice gathers everyone's attention. " may I have your attention freshmen settle down. We will be splitting you into groups of 12 or so since there is so many of you."

"Okay group one please when I call your name go over there and stand by Jeremy by the glass doors" he points over to a taller man he is slim and has a stinky beard with a tattoo travelling down his neck. Jeez what is it with men and there tattoos.

"So there is:
.Olivia Tilbury
.Joana Cross
.Tyler Ray
.Rory Times
.Ava Yao
.Isabella Love
.Charlie May
.Sammy Jones
.Tony Holland
.Dotty Parks
.Fransis Que
.Lola Smith"

There was a long pause waiting for all the students to move out of the way. A lot of people shoved past me to reach there destination. As the man started to speak again I zoned out until I heard my name I think with group 4.

" .Katherine brown
.Rafael Santez
.Corey Summers
.Harry Avenly
And
.Peter Ruff
Please make your way I've to holly next to the fountain."
I followed after the others and I am saw none other than the boy I bumped into yesterday. I was feeling more confident today so I walked up to him and said " hey my names Katherine your are?"

He just looked at me as if I was crazy " Rafael Santez." And with that he walked off. Before I could go after him our orientation guide I'm guessing holly called us in. " come on guys let's start so we can get out the way of everyone." And with that we were off to tour around the campus and the city to learn more about the area. At our 5th building it was the library I made sure to not where it was for later. And then finally we stopped at the cafeteria the final stop of the tour.

As all the students departed from the area to either go get food or go back to their dorms to hang out, I made my way back to a nice small homey looking caffe I saw a while back on the tour. As I took a seat at one of the window tables I took my book out of my book.

Little woman a classic. Ahh how I wish I could be part of this time period old dresses no social media men treated woman as woman not like they are an object. The sisters remind me of how my relationship with my mum works it's like we more of sisters than mother and daughter. She's too fun and relaxed.

The waiter makes his way over to me
"Hello is there anything I can get for you today" he asked sending me a cheerful smile. " ummm yeah what do you recommend I have never been here before?" " oh well in that case I definitely recommend the caramel frap for non coffee but if your want coffee then definitely the iced coffee with one pump vanilla syrup."

" well in that case you can pick for me cos I don't really mind." He gave me a small smirk and made his way over to the counter. I settled down again and realised I was just able to talk to a boy without stuttering go me.

He walks back over with an tall plastic cup with what looks to be a tall ice coffee. He sits it down in front of me " so what brings you to the caffe?" He asks lightheartedly "oh mother just post orientation snack and u have nothing better to do." He shifts his weight for each foot every now and again. "So what's your name?" he asks. "Katherine but I like you so you can call me Katie." I say with a smile.
After that he left me to my book and when I payed for my drink I gave him my number and he gave me his. Well that's one friend for 2 days at college that's pretty good for me.

I made my way home [thats weird to say ] and when I got there my roommate was there "hey I'm Katherine your roommate sorry I didn't say hi this morning I was in a rush for orientation I didn't see you there?" She looked so happy and she was literally the embodiment of confidence. She ran up to me and squeezed me so tight that I swear I couldn't breath until she let go. "I'm Rebecca I wasn't at orientation because I'm a sophomore silly I'm like your guid for this school but for now get some rest pretty you need it for tomorrow the last day of preparation before he'll and by he'll I mean lessons and classes oh and don't get me started on coursework." And with that she sauntered off into the bathroom. I changed into pj's and brush my hair and teeth and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was fast asleep.
