The Howling Wind {A Syndicate Fanfic}

The Beggining (1)

May's POV
As I sleep and dream of a land of blocks where I can always be free from the madness of the world, I feel something cold overcome me. Something... very cold.

I bolt awake to see my two roommates Skylar and Amber laughing at me. An EMPTY bucket of what I assume was water lies near my bed, and I finally look around to see my covers drenched, along with me.

"FRESHMAN YEAR!" They both shout and run out of my room. Oh, they're in for it! I grab a water gun I keep at the ready (what don't judge) and jump downstairs.

"ITS ON!" I look around but can't seem to find either of them. Then, all of the sudden, they jump out from behind the couches and yell, "YES IT IS!"

Spray guns at the ready, we battle to the fake, sopping wet death. I eventually have to surrender due to the fact that we had to get ready for college. The first day...

I go back into my room and pick out an outfit. A light blue sweater with skinny jeans and converse. Nothing too special... Very simple.

I walk out of my room to see Amber and Skylar both wearing dresses and pretty sandals. I look down at the ground and frown.

"Is that what you're wearing?" They ask. I look up again and sigh. I've never been into all the glitz and glam.

"I guess." Their eyebrows raise and Skylar says, "Daarrrling. You need a makeover."

I shake my head persistently, but they drag me into a closet to look at dresses. "Guys. Do I have to?" They nod their heads vigorously.

Since I apparently have to wear a dress, I look at all of my options. A frilly pink one... No. A sparkly green one... No. A calm, classy, royal blue one. Yes.

I pick out the dress and go put it on. It goes down a little past my knees and has a V neck. It has a black belt, and it isn't frilly, poofy, or sparkly. That, I like.

I look in the mirror and almost jump. They had done my hair in a French braid and my makeup very lightly. I looked... Pretty. For once, I felt confident in myself!

Bring it on college. We hop in our car that we share and drive to the school. I see a sign in the distance and get butterflies in my stomach.

This is the start of my life. My career, my home, and heck! I might even meet "the one". But I doubt it... Who'd want to be with a girl like me...
