Charlotte's POV

I wake up to the sound of the captain over the intercom, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we will be landing in the next 10 minutes. Please gather all your belongings and buckle into your seat belts. Thank you for flying with us on US Airways. We hope you fly with us again soon." I already had everything together and my seat belt on. The landing wasn't too bad, just my ears popped, and I hate that. I grabbed my nose, closed the nostrils and un-popped my ears, that feels better. At little bit of a rumble and bump from the landing but all was good. We landed safely. I'm in London. It's hard to believe that I'm really here in London. The flight attendants tell us we are free to leave the plane now that it has docked. I gather my bag and walk down the narrow aisle out the door and out the gate. My phone buzzed in my pocket, it was a text from Angelica, 'Did you land yet?' I text her back, 'Just got off the plane. Where are you?' I wait for a text and walk toward baggage claim. BUZZ! I unlock my phone to read the text and the next think I know a body bumps into me and does an ice latte.

"Oh my! I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying any attention." I said apologizing

"Don't worry yourself with it." the guys says. He offered his hand, I took it and stood up. When I look at his face, his eyes caught me off guard. They were beautiful, enchanting green eyes. I have never seen anything like it. And his hair, it's so curly and off the side slightly hiding his amazing eyes. He smiled at me and I noticed his dimples! He has dimples.

"I'm sorry again. I was looking for someone." I said after staring for too long.

"You aren't from here are you?" he ask me.

"That obvious huh?." I said.

"Only a little bit." he laughed slightly. "Who are you looking for? Maybe I can help you find him." he told me in his husky British accent.

"Well she is my room mate and she is supposed to be her to pick me up." I explained. My phone buzzed again, Angelica texted me 'Which gate are you at?' I quickly text her back the gate I was at and put my phone in my pocket.

"She is on her way here. I'm sorry again for bumping into you," I said. "I'm Charlotte by the way."

"And I'm Harry. Pleasure." he said. His British accent is husky but it has a sweet tone to it.

"I better find my room mate. It was nice meeting you Harry." I turned and started to walk back toward my gate, then I felt a strong hand on my arm, stopping me. He turned me to face him and he placed a small kiss on my cheek. I blushed and turned red. He smiled at me and gave me a folded piece of paper.

"See you later Charlotte." he said walking back away from me. I stood there for a while thinking about what just happened to me.

"Charlotte? Is that you?" an Irish accent came into my ears. I turn around and see an average height, beautiful blue eyes blonde girl. Her facebook picture was a little different then what she looked like in real life.

"Angelica?" I asked.

"Oh my god! You ARE Charlotte! I'm sorry I'm late to pick you up. I'm Angelica Erwine, you'r room mate." she said, introducing herself.

"And I'm so glad you are here. I don't know where to go. It's great to finally meet you Angelica." I told her. We walked together to the baggage claim and waited for my suit case. Angelica was about 5 foot 6, long blonde hair slightly past her mid-back. She had ocean blue eyes, porcelain white skin and the body of a model. Angelica was a beautiful Irish princess is how I would put it. Unlike myself. I have dark brown hair about 3 inches past my shoulders, typical brown eyes and a slight tan. I did have curves and more 'meat' on my body then more girls, but I wasn't as pretty as they were, at least that is how I felt about myself.

After getting my suite case, Angelica and I walked to her car and headed towards UCL. I look out the car window to see London pass by. It was like New York City; there was more people walking then driving, but the traffic was kinda hectic too. Angelica just giggled at me. Right now I was more of a tourist than a local, but by the end of the semester, I would love to call this 'home'.

Angelica's POV

My first impression of Charlotte was that she is a beautiful girl. Her brown hair and her tan; I wish I could tan like that without burning. And she was more full than I was. She had more curves than I did. In a way I was envious of her, but I do love myself and my body.

I drove the city and watched her look out the window. I did the same thing coming to London for the first time. I was from a small town in Ireland and never went to the city because my family could not afford to travel. I'm here now in London because UCL offered me a full-ride due to my amazing marks and my interest in Math. Yeah, I'm a smart blonde. I took the opportunity; no questions asked.

Charlotte finally made it to UCL and I parked in our dorm parking lot. I got her suit case out and lead her into the dorm. We are both first year students, so we don't get a fancy dorm. We were on the 3rd floor and dorm room 23B. I unlocked the door and walked in with Charlotte behind me. She gasped and smiled.

Charlotte's POV

When the door opened the dorm was bigger than I thought it would be. It ws bigger than my room at home; it was double that; 28 feet by 14 feet. Angelica had her half of the room all set up and decorated and my half of the room just had the bed made.

"Thanks for getting my bedding out. I really do appreciate it." I said sitting on my bed.

"No problem. Oh here," she handed me a key on a UCL key chain. "Welcome to UCL Charlotte. Were room mates now."

"Thank you," I replied to her. "I guess I should unpack and make this more like I live here than just you." Angelica laughed and opened some of my boxes that I had sent while I did my suit case. We folded clothes, placed them into the drawers and hung more clothes in our joint closet. Angelica found the box with all my desk stuff. I grabbed that box from her while she decorated my half of the room with posters. I took out my notebooks, pens pencil and all the other stuff that was in the box. The last item was the black velvet box that had my parents wedding bands. The rings never left the box, and I don't think they will for a while. I put that box next to my already plugged in laptop and th printer/scanner on the floor.

Angelica and I stood to see what 3 hours of unpacking looked like; it was amazing. We were more similar in decor than I thought. Our beds were both a shade of blue and we both loved Prince William and the Beatles.

"Thank you so much Angelica for helping me and picking me up today." I said.

"You're welcome Charlotte. I'm so glad you're here. I won't be bored anymore now that you have arrived. I think we are going to be best mates!" her Irish accent was thick, but beautiful just like her.

"I agree."

"Why don't we get some sleep. It's been a long and eventful day." she said with a yawn.

I nodded in agreement. I might have slept on the plane, but I was still tired. I undressed and got into some shorts and a tank top. Before calling it quits for the night, I reached into my jean pant pocket and got the note Harry gave me. I unfolded it and read what he had wrote. He must have written this while I was texting Angelica. My eyes shot open on what he had written. I felt nervous and blushed all at the same time. Talk about an eventful day.
