Chapter One.
We pulled the car in front of the sidewalk, there were so many people walking about.
Deep breath Peyton.
I slung open the car door, getting out, and taking it all in. The massive building, the salty air, the people walking about.. Everything.
This is going to be my new home for awhile.
I walked to the trunk of the car grabbing my suitcase and placing it on the ground. I'm so nervous.
"Well, look who finally made their arrival." I turned around with a smile, already recognizing the voice.
My brother.
"Declan," my mom smiled. He wrapped his arms around my neck before he turned and lazily relaxed his arm across my shoulder. "How has everything been? Since you never answer my calls." Mom rolled her eyes.
Wow mom, a little bitter don't you think?
"I've been busy-" Declan paused, "Studying."
I couldn't help but laugh. My moms eyes slightly widened before narrowing in on me.
Oops.
"I should get to my dorm," I said, grabbing the handle on my suitcase. "You two better call me if anything happens." I rolled my eyes, wrapping my arms around her. "We'll both be fine. Be safe, love you."
Trying to avoid both her tears and mine, Declan grabbed my other suitcase and we walked towards the entrance.

"Here we are," Declan stopped in front of the door. 260. I really hope I like my roommate. "You've got to be joking." I looked to see annoyance plastered all over his face. "What?"
Before he answer my question the door slung open to reveal a blonde haired, blue eyed girl. Her hair was in loose curls, her eyes piercing with blue eyeliner. Her short figure was dressed in a white crop top and black distressed jeans. She was pretty.
"Hey babe." She then gave my brother a peck on the lips.
Oh. My. God.
"Hey, I'm Zoey!" She smiled at me. "Who are you?" I was quiet, silently trying to process. "I'm Declan's"before I finish my sentence Declan spoke up. "She's my sister, Peyton," he paused, "Who is also your new roommate."
Great. My brother's girlfriend is my roomie.
"Nice to meet you," I smiled at her through my pain. Declan looks like he could kill either me or the administrator who assigned me this room. Either way, there's no getting out of this now...
