I always hated school for some reason. I would never fit in. I was very smart, don't doubt that, actually I got the highest marks in the whole year. However, I wanted to stay very close to my Mum so every good school was off my radar.

My Mum was sick. She had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year and it has been hard. My Senior year was used up with worry, it wasn't fun. But, now she's in a nursing home where they can really help her. My new university was right across the road from where the home is so I can be there immediately if anything were to happen.

I walked in on the first day and I was amazed by everything! There were so many people. I was approached by this person who gave me a tag with my name and room number. It was on the 11th floor which was almost halfway. So, I grabbed my suitcase and I went on the lift and clicked the 11th button. What!? Did you really think I would take the stairs with a heavy ass suitcase?

I get there and there aren't a lot of people, I guess it's not going to be that loud here. I go to my room number and I see a note.

Thea Fedorov & Wanda Maximoff

Physical Education & Linguistics

---------

So, I open the door and it's very basic inside. There was two beds next to a desk each and in the middle of the two is a window.

I start to unpack my stuff when someone else walks in. She had straight brown hair, green eyes and a welcoming smile.

"Ah, you must be Thea. I'm Wanda" She came over and embraced me in a hug.

"Hey Wanda! I was just unpacking my stuff"

"Oh cool, I'll unpack mine too! I saw that you're taking Physical Education. My brother Pietro is too. He loves running"

"Omg me too. I've always been very brainy but I loved to do sports. I saw that you're doing Linguistics"

"Yup. I love learning different languages and seeing what makes them up"

"Oh cool"

"Have you thought about any other classes to join. I'm going to join Art and Agriculture and maybe a few more but I'm not sure yet"

"Oh, no not really. I haven't really thought about it. I'll have a look at them once I've finished unpacking"

We had more conversations about our lives and what we like and then we finish.

You're bed is the one on the right

"Let's have a look at the other classes now" Wanda said. She got out her laptop and we sat on her bed. "Do you take a liking to any of these"

"Uh, not really. Wait! I wanna take Russian"

"Okey dokey. Hold on. It's too popular so you have to take an entry test"

"Russian? Over subscribed? It's one of the hardest languages to learn"

"Yeah, although I'm pretty sure that it's mostly boys there to gawk at the teacher"

"The teacher? Are they hot or something"

"Hot is an understatement. She is the epidemy of, as the wise Belinda Carlisle once said, Heaven is a place on earth"

"Oh, c'mon! No one's that hot"

"Fine! Explain this to me then"

She showed me a picture of her that some boys took in class.

"Oh wow. You're right"

"As always"

"I seriously don't know how I'll be able to focus in that class"

"Hahaha"

"I'm serious Wanda" I just stare at her.

Then, we both suddenly broke out into laughter and we roll all over her bed laughing our heads off.

A little while later we get Hungry so we order a pizza and watch a movie. Once it's done I got tired so we went to bed.

"Night Thea"

"Night Wanda"

The lights then went off.

I think I'm gonna like it here.
