Fallen

chapter 1

Alex pov

"Guess we are here" My dad looked at the campus as he drove. We have been driving for a really long time, more precisely, from Las Vegas to California. Roselight college accepted me, because of my grades they gave me a scholarship, and after searching I came to the conclusion I had to take the opportunity. My dad had watery eyes, I was going to get away from him, and he was going to stay alone with my brother. This broke him down. "Are you sure you don't want to stay in Las Vegas with me and Michael?" he looked at me. "I am sure...I guess" the last two words came out as a mutter, I have always been kinda anxious I have difficulty with calming down. I am a big bookworm and a videogame nerd, and I am ok with that. My Brother always used to say "Alexandra Periwinkle, get your butt off that chair and go outside" but im mostly social awkward and I was not good at keeping up with people.

I knew he did it jokingly but he was serious about me making some friends.

"It is so big, and it has beautiful gardens, maybe you can sit to read in them" I looked at my dad's eyes and nodded "maybe..." 

I got out of the car and opened the trunk, and took out one of my bags. "You go and install, I will bring your stuff. Room 213?" he said as he got everything else out of the trunk. "Yes 213, thanks dad" 

On the way to my dorm I almost bumped into hordes of seniors, Alexa breathe in, stop, and breathe out, concentrate. I tripped once in the stairs. And let's not mention how I managed to avoid eye contact with all the people in my way.

Room 213, building 2, I passed various rooms before getting there. 208...210... here it is 213. I grabbed my little silver key and half opened half kicked the door. I entered and looked around there were two beds, one desk and chair for each, a pair of windows with a nice view, two wardrobes, two floppy couches, a mini fridge and a TV. Wow, better than I expected. I looked at the beds, one had a box on it so I guess the other one is mine. 

I was sitting at the edge of the bed when I suddenly heard a voice coming from a corner in which I did not see a door before. "Are you lost?". I jumped a bit, not expecting for my roommate to be in the room. I turned my head to see a black haired with red painted hair tips, big blue eyes, 1 or two piercings and a tattoo, she was not skinny, and  her skin was a a soft tan. "N-no, this is the room I was assigned in" she looked at me and nodded. "Where are you from?" I thought if I should tell her or not, then I remembered I was going to live with her the next year "I was born in Mexico and moved to las vegas when I was 14" she looked at me "Nice, you don't look Mexican, I came to live here 4 years ago" she proceeded to put on her headphones and flop herself in her bed. She didn't tell me where she lived before, but I didn't actually care.

Better for me, I opened the bag, I took out a stack of unread books and stacked them on a small shelf that was up the bed. It still had an empty space, so I took a little obsidian cat figurine and placed it nest to them. Then I took my laptop and placed it in the desk, I took a little pink cherry tree lamp and placed it next to my laptop. 

I finished unpacking the little stuff in my bag when I heard a knock on the door, my dad had arrived with my other suff. I glanced at my roommate...I need to ask for their name, before I opened the door to him. "Here is your stuff" his dad left the box and the bag on the ground and peeked into the room." Nice, I guess you will be more than ok here" he looked sad, he smiled softly "Bye, don't forget to call" he hugged me and smiled "Bye dad, I will not" he looked at me one last time and went. I looked at the stuff on the floor and kicked it to the foot of my bed, then I let myself fall, I was going to take a nap.
