Ashley's POV:

First days are always the worst. Its hard to settle in after continuous years of being home schooled. Yes, i was home schooled for half of my life. Its not as bad as people think it will be. Saying you ll never have any friends or get the true feeling of what 'school' was all about.

I didn't care, all that was needed was my full attention on the work. But now stepping into the world of University's is quite daunting. 

 i was brought up with a very popular,self-obsessed sister know by the name Cara. All her perfect 'clique' as she liked to think them as would always stick around by the pool in summer. They would talk to me often so it wasn't exactly like i had no friends, was it?

Now its time for a new fresh start to make friends for life as everyone says you do at Uni.

I walked into the stereo typical university of Durham. It was a nice big university and i loved it straight away. As i was looking for my room number 44 i noticed all different types of people strolling around in the corridors. Geeks, sheeks and cliques. Not forgetting the odd punk or two. I finally found my new so called 'home; for the next year. Room number 44.

I fumbled with my room key for a second or two until i finally twisted the door handle and was in. It was a smaller room than i had imagined but it looked cozy.

I chucked my stuff on the bed and thought i would start to unpack as it would be late soon.

As i was putting away my last pair of shoes the door swung open and in came a tall browned haired girl. Oh fuck she looked popular i thought. Her eyes quickly scanned me and she gave me a beaming warm smile. ok, maybe i judged to early.

"hi, I'm Kendall. You must be Ashley?" Her thick American accent was easily disguised.

"Yep, guess were roomies." Shit, that sounded so lame.

"YESSSS!!!!" She lept up from her recent sitting position to hug me. Well, that took me by surprise.

"Right, come on lets get you dressed for a party!"

"A party?" oh no, I'm not good with socializing. I've always been one to be awkward when talking to people so i try to avoid huge gatherings like a party. 

"First night always gotta have a party babes. Come on ill introduce you." 

All i could think was Fuck.

******

Now dressed in my tightest black dress and highest inch heels i could find we walked into the party.I had my hair styled loose with my long waves tumbling down my spine. Trailing behind Kendall ,who pulled of her outfit perfectly. With her pristine long legs and small waist the dress clung to her body flawlessly. 

OK, i was no Kendall but my mother would always tell me that everyone envied my model like legs.In my opinion they were small fat tree trunks. 

As i turned my head to the side i wasn't graced by Kendall's presence anymore. Oh how lovely, first uni party and the only person i know has left me.

I decided that as i was already here i might as well stay. Fuck it, I'm having a drink. As i was walking to the bar i had my eyes set to the floor trying to hide myself. Screw that, I'm 5ft9 i wont go unnoticed. 

I collided with another muscular sweaty body. Oh no oh no oh no. please don't talk to m...

My thoughts were cut short when a slow, deep British accent spoke up " are you alright love?"

i mumbled " fucking perfect."

"I'm Harry and you are?" It wasn't until then when i finally looked up. In my view i saw a tall , brown curly haired , green eyed guy who was absolutely gorgeous.I didn't relies i was staring until he coughed and i snapped back into reality.

" yeah, sorry. I'm Ashley." crap, i sound so nervous. Pull yourself together.

" let me buy you a drink, Ashley." 

" Thanks but i should look for my friend." I didn't want to go but i knew i had to start looking for the skinny bitch.

" you mean Kendall? nah she'll be gone for hours getting off with every boy in this town." My heart sped faster and i could feel my hands get clammy.

"err thanks but I'm tired, ill see you around harry."

"wait just a sec." He got his black ink pen out and scribbled what looked like to be his number on a piece of crisp white paper. He winked at me and spoke " just in case you get lonely tonight."

OMG. My heart was now beating so fast i swear everyone could hear it in the room. I turned back to walk to my room. Weaving in and out of hormonal, drunk and high teenagers.

As i got to my room i slipped of my dress and shoes and chucked on my pj shorts and top.I placed the piece of paper with harry's number on by my bedside table and sighed. As my eyes got heavy and sleep was leaking through my body i thought about what this year will hold at uni. With that i drifted of to sleep.
