Chapter 7: Unpacking & Starting Over

Hey guys, It's been a while. I know. I have no excuses actually. Exams are over and the new semester started so I have no homework at all. I guess I felt like this was the perfect time for writing, and I want to make this story happier, all of what I wrote in the first chapters is all very triggering, I'm aware. It is for me at least. I write like that sometimes when I have nowhere else to go, or to turn to. And I let all the frustration out. So if there is more graphic scenes, and you don't read that stuff, I appologise. I don't want to trigger anyone in anyway. For the people who read, thanks for the support, and I love all of you. Including the silent readers. <3 Anyway, lets get on with the story:

 *Lounge is in the external link :) *

After the 40 minute ride, I grabbed my bags and stepped out of the taxi. Traffic was terrible here. I looked around. University of London. The campus was huge, it looked quite like a neighborhood. There were dorm buildings and school buildings, there were also libraries, study halls, and different fields for sports. I think I'm going to like it here. I open the door to my dorm building and wait at the front office. A girl who looked only a couple years older stepped out.  "Ello! 'Names Jade" she smiled. I liked her already "Are you new" I nodded

"I'm Serenity Edwards"

"Right, the girl from the states. That’s impressive, not many foreign people get in this school"

I grin "Thanks"

"Well, here's the key to your dorm room, do you want me to show you around?"

"Yeah, that would be awesome" I say appreciatively. Jade showed my around the dorm. It reminded me a lot of the girls dorm in Zoey 101. Oh the childhood memories. Except it was more mature. Girls were scattered around the large lounge. Some watching tv, some playing foosball, some eating, studying, talking. Really everything. There were so many girls. And all of them we're really pretty. I felt so insecure.

They probably all had amazing accents too. I wish I had an accent. I turned around to Jade and faked a smile "It's really cool"

"Yeah? Great! You wanna see your room?"

"Yeah" I say perking up, happy too leave the room full of girls much prettier than I. Jade leads me up the stairs and down a bright blue hallway.

"All the hallways are different colours by the way, so people know where they're going" I tilt my head, confused

"Ok so lets say you were lived in this hallway." she continues "blue. If someone was looking for your room, Instead of saying Floor 2, hallway to the left, room 4A, you would say Blue A"

"oooooohhhhhh" I finally understand what she was saying. And that is a pretty awesome idea. "do the guys this stuff too?" I ask

She laughs "haha, no. They guys are really unorganized. But they all pretty much hang out in one room" We climb another set of stairs.

"Do I have to climb this many steps every day?" I thought about it, and the boxes I have to carry up.

"No, well yes. This is your floor so no more. But there is an elevator. Since there are 5 floors." I freeze

"And why did we take the stairs?" I ask annoyed

"Exercise"  I grunt. My room was in the green hallway. I really liked the colour to be honest. The room was even better. Jade told me that most dorm rooms are small. So they spend money on being able to save space. And the room was tiny, but in a way, I had a lot of space. The room followed a simple colour scheme. Pastel blue, pastel green, pastel orange, and white. Three walls were white, and one was striped with orange and white. There was one window in the corner. Which has a good view of the whole campus. On one wall, I had my white desk. It looked more of a table, but it had a few drawers on the left side. Attached to the desk, in the corner, was more drawers for clothes, and some shelves for books. Which was attached to a wardrobe, leaning against the wardrobe was a stainless steel ladder leading up onto a loft. I climbed the ladder and sat on the bed. It was actually a lot comfier than it looked. I pulled up the sheets. Memory foam, on top of the mattress. Of course. It was honestly the coolest room ever.
