The blaring of the morning alarm startled the teal-haired boy awake, the sunlight streaming in through the blinds causing him to briefly cover his eyes as the memories of what today was trickled into his mind. "Ah, yes of course!" He proclaimed excitedly. Today was the day he got to be introduced to his roommates that would live together for a hopefully joyful years of college. 

His gaze traveled to his nightstand, to see the familiar view of his phone with the awfully bright case on it. Ashe stretched before reaching for it, he checked the notifications to see a couple new texts from the person that brought all the roommates together. They were all very early in the morning, hopefully they didn't stay up all night!

"Ashe I'm so excited to finally meet you, you seem like such a kind person!" -Sent 4:47AM

"I have everything in order here, I made sure to thoroughly clean the place, as I told you before, I invited one kind of strict one aha" -Sent 4:48AM

"Remember 2pm! Though I'm sure I don't have to remind you" - Sent 5:34AM

Ah, it seems like he was busy throughout the night wanting to make sure everything's perfect. 

"Noel!! I want to meet you too! I will make you an incredible dinner for the effort you went through for the apartment, I could have helped you clean! And of course, I'll make sure to be there on time." - Sent 7:05AM

He set the phone down and got dressed, ready to start the day.

A fierce knock caught the tired ones attention, causing him to jump up from his seat and promptly open the door. The sight of a familiar lavender man triggered a huge smile and a hug from the other. "Sirius! I'm so happy to see you, it's been too long." The children's psychology major said, trying to hold back from showing all of their excitement.

"Ah..y-yes Noel it has." The shorter one said, not moving his arms from holding his luggage. A small smile appeared as he looked at the one hugging him before he quickly snapped back into his defensive demeanor.  

"Now whenever you decide to get off me, where should I put my luggage?" Sirius questioned.

 "Of course...sorry, I got carried away. For now you can just put your stuff next to the couch until we get settled with who's going in each room." Noel calmly stated while backing away. The theatre arts major made his way to the side of the couch and set his stuff down. "Also um, there's something you should probably know before the others arrive." Noel sheepishly said while having a hand on his neck.

"What is it?" The overly-dressed man inquired. 

"Well, remember when I said the other three roommates were strangers?" The blonde continued.

"Yes? Out with it, Noel." 

"Y-You obviously...remember Claire, right?"

"Heehee!" The girl said to herself, practically bouncing in her seat on the bus. Her smile was as obvious and bright as ever. She was attempting to keep herself from yelling out of joy, it was the day, the day where her new life, new home, new friends, would get kickstarted. "Come onnn get there already, I can't wait!!!" She squealed to herself, checking her phone to see if anyone had messaged her. Nope, nothing, nothing to do but sit here and die from excitement. 

The sound signaling the bus had stopped caused her to jump out of her seat, snatching her singular suitcase, and making a run for the apartment building that was around the corner. 

"May I help you?" The receptionist asked, deadpan while checking her phone. 

"Um, yes! Do you know where apartment 205 is? I'm about to move in and I'm not very good with directions." The short-hair airhead questioned, a small awkward smile appearing on her face.

"...Elevators that way," She made a gesture to behind her, "When you get to the second floor go to the right until you see 205 ..pretty basic stuff..." The lady mumbled that last part to herself.

"Ah, alright thank you miss!" She said, speed-walking to where the receptionist gestured.
