19: college

(A/N: comment at the end to say if you liked this chapter and make predictions of the next few chapters!)

aria's pov:
once i get to the college, i go to front desk to see what class i will be in tomorrow. i'm collecting a timetable basically.

"hello" i say to the old looking receptionist.
"oh hello there sweetie" she smiles. "what can i do for you?"
"i'm here to collect my timetable." i smile.
"okay.. and what's the name lovely?" she clicks on her keyboard.
"Aria, Aria spring" i smile.
"okay" she types into the computer "aria.....spring?? ah yes here we are" she turns to get a folder.
"here we are sweet." she smiles "all your documents and things are in there. any questions, come see me"
"okay! thank you! bye" i smile and walk out of the building.

i then get a taxi to take me into town and i get to my apartment. we had to rent out an apartment because you can't get a dorm room unless your in university.
i get to my apartment building and go to front desk.

"hello" i say to another old receptionist.
"hello! what can i do for you?" she smiles.
"i'm here to collect my room key." i smile.
"room key?" she looks at me wide eyed. "how old are you?"
"i'm uh. i'm 16." i awkward smile.
"gosh your young but no worries, what's the name?" she looks at me.
"Aria Spring" i say as she checks the system.
"okay.. you are floor 2, room 15. your roommate is already there." the woman hands me the key and i head to the elevator.
roommate?
ROOMMATE??
gosh.

i enter my room and i see a boy sat on the sofa, drinking a cup of coffee and watching 'Young Sheldon'.

"hello?" he turns to me. "who are you?"
"um. i'm aria.. your roommate?" i laughs and i bring my suitcase in and shut the door.
"oh. right." he turns back to watch the tv again.
"young sheldon? classic" i scoff.
"got an issue?" he slurps his coffee.
"no! no! i was just wondering were my room was?" i make my voice sound sarcastic.
"oh right." he gets up and he's rather tall. taller then nick.. anyways, his hair is brown and curly and he has a sharp jawline. sharp enough to kill me. his skin was tanned.. and his voice was deep but not too deep.
"your room is the biggest one. thought i would play nice." he walks past me and puts his mug in the dish washer.
"and where is that?" i raise my eyebrows. he points to a door by the living room and i scoff and walk to the door, entering my room.

as i enter my jaw drops, this room is so cute!

once i got in, i put my suitcase on my bed and started to unpack. then i got the separate box of stuff and saw all my pictures and polaroids of me and nick in it.
i took all the polaroids and pictures out and started to hang them up in fairy lights in my room!
once i finished packing, i went to make myself some tea.

"so, where are you from?"  the boy says as he folds his washing.
"i'm from kent, you?" i get my cup and boil the kettle.
"i'm from chelsea but i've lived in cardiff for a year now." he puts his clothes in his room and comes back into the kitchen.
"what's your name?" i ask.
"diego. diego marinez" he says as he grabs a snack from the fridge.
"exotic name." i smirk as i pour the water into my mug.
"hm, your name is aria." he scoffs.
"yeah and?" i roll my eyes and sit on the sofa.
"what's your last name?" he asks, sounding curious.
"spring." i reply and take a sip of my tea.
"spring? aria spring?" he laughs.
"yes." i don't see what's funny.
"sorry, that was funny to me." he wipes his eyes and comes to sit by me.
"age?" i ask.
"17." he looks at me. "you?"
"16." i take another sip of my tea.
"hm." he studies my face.
"i'm going to my room now" i shoot him a sarcastic smile and close the door to my room.

i then receive a text from nick.

nick <3

nick <3:
How is everything?? Are you okay? x

me:
yep! everything is fine!!

nick:
cool!!!!
can we facetime? x

me:
of course!!!

and there it was..
the first facetime call.

"hey ari!" nick smiles.
"hey!" i smile back.
"how is everything?" he asks.
"it's okay." i sigh.
"what's wrong?" he looks so scared, it's cute.
"nothing! i'm okay! just my roommate." i roll my eyes.
"roommate?" nick puts this confused expression on his face.
"that's the face i had when i found out." i sigh.
"what's she like?" he smiles as he strokes nellie.
"he's an asshole." i look at the camera to see nick's smile drop. he's going to be on pins.
"he?" nick looks into the camera with pain in his eyes.
"yeah um, just don't worry about it" i smile.
"okay.." he awkward smiles then i hear a cough behind me.
i turn to see diego.
"talking about me are we?" he rolls his eyes and sits at my desk.
"fuck off diego." i look at him.
"or what?" he smirks.
"just get out." my blood fills with anger.
"aria! aria!" i hear nick call on the phone. diego laughs and leaves the room.
"i'm so sorry" i groan and give nick a sympathetic look.
"it's um, it's okay." he weakly smiles back. "i'm gonna go now."
"nick, please don't" i quickly say but he ends the call.

great, just fucking, great.
i sigh and go out of my room to make some dinner.. i'm starving.
"your friends gone then?" diego sniggers.
"real funny." i say sarcastically and grab pasta out of the cupboard. "we need food."
"well no shit." diego is a dickhead.
"i will grab a few bits tomorrow, when i finish college" i stir the pasta in the bowl.
"what are you studying?" he asks and comes to sit on the island, watching me cook.
"um, i'm studying: philosophy, business, sciences and i want to study phycology too but i will see if they can slip me in a class" i keep stirring the pasta not making eye contact.
"she's an intelligent one eh?" diego laughs.
"i think your an asshole. if i'm intelligent then i must be right."  what the fuck am i saying?
"now, don't be like that darling" diego laughs as he gets up to go to the cupboard with the drinks in. he notices that i'm in his way so he grabs my hips to move past them.
"do you mind?" i scoff.
"what?" he says clueless.
"do not touch me?" i scoff again and furrow my eyebrows.
"okay, whatever you like princess." diego laughs and goes into his room.

this is going to be a long 8 weeks.
