Lorelei

I've never had a problem with change, well, I've never had the chance to have that problem, until now at least.

"Are you excited to join your new school?" My mom's eyes flicker to mine through the review mirror but quickly adjust back to the road as we're on the move.

I shake my head. "Well, yes but no."  Mom looks back at me again, gesturing for me to go on.

"I'm excited about college, but it's so far away from home, I'm not sure how I'm going to manage." I completed my first two years at college in the community college close to my house and got accepted to one of the finest schools in Lakeview. Which was expensive.

"Lorelei, sweetie, we have to get going." My mom suddenly comes into view in front of the window of the car, knocking. I look around to realize we are in the parking lot of the apartment complex.

"I'm so glad you're staying in the apartments instead of the dorms, I would not be able to live with myself if I knew you were staying inside one of those dorm rooms," I pull my luggage from out of the trunk of the car as my mom pulls out a couple of boxes and carries them to the apartment.

"I don't really mind where I stay, as long as my roommates aren't bitchy." I shrug and my mom slaps my arm playfully as she lets out a soft laugh.

"34 A, this is you," Mom announces as I pull out my key, opening the door. The chatter that was once happening inside the room stops, and suddenly it becomes silent.

Way too silent.

Like very uncomfortably silent.

"Ummm..." I let out a short breath as we all stare at each other until one of them gasps loudly.

"You're Lorelei, aren't you!? Hi, I'm Chanel, and those two are Reese and Noah." She points to the other side of the rather big living room where two guys lay down on the couch and play video games.

Chanel's big brown eyes spark with joy as she holds her hand out for me to shake, which I do. She's absolutely gorgeous, her smooth brown skin compliments the couple of tattoos that are littered around her body, her hair is put up into a claw clip, and a couple of curly locks fall out of the makeshift ponytail.

"Reese! Noah! Come over here and introduce yourselves!" Both of the boys get up, while walking over to me Chanel introduces herself to my mom and they both make their way to what I assume is my room.

"Reese Thompson." Reese sticks out his hand, and his blonde hair sticks to his forehead, assuming he probably got out of the shower a couple of minutes ago, he also has brown eyes, yet they have specks of green in them.

"Noah Parks" Noah on the other hand has brunette hair and deep blue eyes, he has a tattoo sleeve, and probably other tattoos around his body.

"Lorelei Andino" I shake both of their hands.

"Are you going to Crystal tomorrow?" Noah asks, I raise an eyebrow in confusion "What's that?" I jerk my head over to Chanel who answers for him.

"Crystal is the beach a couple of minutes away from campus, there are usually parties every night, but the biggest ones are usually at the beginning and end of the Semesters." I nod my head and look over to my mom who is standing by the doorway.

"Alright, I'm off babe, good luck" Mom walks to me and hugs me tightly and kisses my forehead before making her way out of the door.

"So, how come you're moving here in the middle of your college years?" Chanel asks pouring out a cup of tea into a cute little cup.

The apartment was rather nice looking which I'm assuming Chanel decorated it.

"I got a half ride after I did the first two years of college in community." Chanel nods, then gestures to my luggage and boxes.

"I'll help you move everything into your room and then I'll leave you be for the night, orientation is tomorrow morning so be ready." She wiggles her shoulders more excitedly than I was.

"Yipee." I deadpan at her before walking towards my room and unpacking, Chanel joins me a little later and we begin to decorate my room, which I don't complain about since it looks good.

"Alright, I'll let you settle in for the night, if you need anything I'm next door" She smiles softly before shutting the door.

I fall onto my bed, which is surprisingly comfortable, and begin to drift off.
