teen romance

arriving

Its 7 am in the morning and we have just got on the bus that takes us to the college and the dorms. "Oh my gosh this was our childhood dream! I cant wait to get there!" Said my bestfriend of 22 years. We have  been bestfriends ever since we were born. Through our parents before my mum passed away from lung cancer they were very close. They even had us on the same day different year. Enough about my story i was so happy for ev but i was thinking about going somewhere else to get the job i really wanted but i didnt want to let her down.

It was 8:30 when we got off our bus and stood outside the dorms. "Its huge and kinda nerveracking." "You will he fine mani calm down." evelyn was.. outgoing and funny and always open to make new friends. I on the other hand was not very open. I was smart but quiet and kept things to myself. I wasnt really one for relationships but someone once said to me "dont fall in love until you find the right one. Only love hurts." I stuck by that for my almost my whole life so far.

Evelyn is destined for a relationship she has a new boyfriend every week.

We have been stood outside of the building  just staring. we had to move we were getting in other peoples way.

"Hey im going to go and adventure and mabye get some food." I was curious to see what was going for this place. "Okay i will meet you in the dorms" she gave me a small smile and headed up to the dorms.
i decided i was going to the cafe to get some lunch. Got to the cafe and went straight to the counter "hey uhm can i have 2 lattes and a cherry pie please.". "Yeah sure takeaway or eat in." "Takeaway please." "It will be 10 minutes" "thank you." i stepped aside and waited for my food and drink to be ready. "An order for emerson" i heard my name being called and went to go pick up my order. I was looking down when i was walking and obviously couldnt see where i was walking because i bumped into someone. At first i was scared to look up just incase it was someone i would have to see everyday. "Sorry. I should have been looking where i was going." i said and gave an apologetic smile "no its okay, are you okay?" I took her concern to heart. "Yeah im okay." i said in a polite tone "whats your name you look familiar?" The woman asked "armani emerson." She looked me dead in the eye and said "you signed up for buisness." How did she know. "Yeah i did i want to change my career path from arts." "Good choice. See you in class ". "Bye professor". I was so shook i- i just didnt know what to do at this point. I had just bumped into my professor. I composed myself and headed for the dorms.

i opened my door to be greeted by my new roommate. I was sad i wasnt put in a room with evelyn but i was happy to be free from her she was quite crazy sometimes. "Hey im becca..becca ross." "Uh nice to meet you im armani..emerson". I didnt know how to introduce myself because i wasnt use to doing so usually evelyn would do it for me. "So what are you doing here?" I didnt know what to say. When i talk about things im passionate about i can go on for hours. "i- im here doing buisness because i want to change career paths and my art major" "ah cool im here for buisness." Wait- did she just. "I think you're in my class" i hoped she was then i would feel more comfortable in class knowing someone. "Wait really?.. that would be so cool" i think i have made my first friend here. "I would have to agree with you".

now that id met my room mate and she seems nice enough i should probably explore the doorms. I didnt know this place that well so i didnt know where to start, i was just walking along one of the hallways until i stopped at a familar door. evelyns dorm. I was nigotiating going in or not, i hadnt seen her since we arrived. i thought to myself im not ready ill go in later. i carried on walking paying attention to the door numbers on my way round. until i reached my own dorm again "one big loop huh." i said to myself.
and walked back inside,  i had hours before my afternoon classes since it was only 10am. i decided i should try bonding with my roomate, "hey becca?" i asked nervously. "yeah whats up?" oh thank god. "i was thinking of getting to know you more so i was wondering if you wanted to go for lunch?" i was biting my nails aggressivley at this point "yeah! of course i think that would be super fun." "oh alright should we go now or?" "sure i'll just grab my coat" she grabbed her coat and we locked up and left.
"where do you want to go?" she asked "oh im not sure i dont really know this place im not from here." she turned her head to face me "your not from here?" "yeah no, im british" she widened her eyes and i was starting to get a little worried. "thats so cool right!! ive always loved to go to london. mabye you could take me one day!!" we both laughed and talked abit more until we got to the diner. mabye making friends wasnt so bad at all. we walked in and sat down on the nearest table and looked at the menus. "what do you want?" i bit my bottom lip and answered "im not really hungry to be honest, ill probably just get a lemonde" we both decided what we wanted and ordered. "so..whats your story?" she asked. this one question was the one id been dreading since day one, the one that scared me to death. my heart rate sped up and i started getting sweaty palms. "hey are you ok?" she asked. "yeah yeah im good just.." "just what?" "no nevermind" she just looked back at the menu. the waitress came over with our drinks. by the time the lemonade hit the table i chugged it down my dry throat. "woah slow down you'll choke" i put the glass down and took a deap breath. "im good." we just sat in an awkward silence until becca finished her drink. "cmon lets go" she said as she pulled me up out of the booth and so i followed her out. "where are we going?", she turned to face me "home"

it was now  3pm and i was getting ready for my buisness class, "hey do you think this shirt looks alright?" i asked "yeah i think you look great" she replied "thanks, im heading off to class now i wont be back until around 5" she looked at me with a confused expression. "we're in the same class dumbass. it starts at 4 why are you going to early?" i didnt actually know i just liked being prepared. "yeah i was just planning on getting there early and being prepared." she just nodded me off and faced the tv again. it was quite a nice night figure it was winter. i arrived at the social studies/buisness block and walked inside. "your early" i heard from the back of the classroom. i looked around to see miss johansson handing out sheets to the back row. "yeah just being organised" she nodded and continuted. this is where you really hoped someone would walk in and pass the tension. "anything i can help you with?" i didnt even know. it just slipped out "you sure?" she asked with a confused look. "yeah" she looked around while biting on the inside of her cheek. "yeah you can hand out these test papers." i took the papers from her hand and finished what she started.
