Chapter 1
I stared at the few boxes on my new bed. I continued to stare, imagining this was Hogwarts and the boxes would magically unpack themselves. Only one thing, this wasn’t Hogwarts, this was College. My room was a decent size with two single beds, a small wardrobe and basin. They didn’t have showers in your room; they had a massive room filled with twenty showers so you could have a get together while showering your genitals at five in the morning. I was already dreading spending time at college. The only thing keeping me sane was the girl I shared my room with. We had been friends from birth, she was like my sister. Natalie had chocolate brown hair which was mid stomach length. It was straight and purely gorgeous. Her hair was much like mine you could say, except, mines the darkest shade brown you can find.
“Oi El, those boxes won’t magically unpack. This isn’t Hogwarts!” She laughed as she flung a white duvet on her bed.
“You always know what I’m thinking.” I sighed reaching for the first box which contained my books collection of about thirty books. It was always hard for me to read a book. If I didn’t get past the first page, I gave it to the bin to have a read. I placed them in a drawer in the desk provided. In the next 2 drawers down went all of my records of music.
After time passed my clothes were put in the world’s smallest closet which two people had to share. Luckily, we wore each other’s clothes so it never mattered which clothing went where. We had printed out our favourite photos and bought ten packets of blue tack to stick them up on the walls.
“Home.” Nat said when everything was done. Our beds had white duvets, a rug between our beds on the wooden floor, walls covered, closet and draws packed. We were officially at home. What we had always wanted, a home that we lived in together. But this was a dorm room at college. Not what I quite wished for.
“Come on El, let’s go and check out the campus!” She pulled me by the hand and ran out the door.
“Whenever have you been so hyped about college?” I asked as we ran down the stairs and outside to where a green field laid with concreted paths leading to other dorm or teaching blocks along with massive trees.
“Ever since we escaped our parent and have the opportunity to be fucking amazing!” She said a big smile reaching across her face.
“Yes well, mother always said we were trouble.” The memory of me and my mum fighting about going to the same college as Natalie replayed in my brain. I was tough on her when she said I wasn’t allowed to go here. But she deserved it.
“She deserved it though.” There we go again. Always knowing what I’m thinking! “Like she always used to say,”
“That Natalie girl is like a rose, beautiful one minute but ugly the next.” We mocked my mother’s accent as we spoke in sync.
“I wonder why you love my mum, the things she says sometimes.”
“Well, when I come over she gives me a substance which is called food. It’s vital to my sanity not to even mention my happiness.” I giggled at her. “Oi don’t laugh at your master.”
“Yeah because I would not want to do that.”
The nightfall came and we went to the café which was on campus. My stomach rumbled as I looked on the menu board.
“Pizza, half with me?” Natalie asked. I stood with my tapping away on my chin humming. “Please!” She begged. “Please, please, please! I’ll do anything to have a pizza!”
“Get on your knees,” I blurted out. Her mouth dropped straight to the floor. I looked at her and she did as commanded. There were people beginning to stare at us. “Beg for that pizza.” I said seconds away from breaking into a nonstop laughter. A smile grew on her face as I knew she was about to burst.
“El, my bestest friend in the world who is ever so beautiful who I must master please by gods mean to save thy Natalie Haze from starvation please give me thy pizza so my stomach doesn’t go boney from no food. PS, you are amazing!” She smiled as a group of four boys whistled our way. “Please can I get up my knees are beginning to hurt.” I hadn’t realised she was still on her knees begging for the pizza.
“Yeah get up before this goes viral.” She sighed standing up with me. I ordered the pineapple pizza.
“Thank fuck.” She began to rub her knees. The pizza was ready in moments and we took a seat. Unfortunately it was the group of boys who had whistled at Nat when she on her knees for me. We began to eat some pizza. The boys were whispering and laughing when I caught eye contact with the blonde one, she smiled, his blue orbs sparkling to save his life. “Earth to El?” Nat was waving a hand in front of my face getting me out of my trance. I smiled at her. “I am gonna grab a tea. Want one?”
“Yeah thanks.” I smiled. She left, leaving me alone with three quarters of a pizza.
“You and your friend seem quite lovely. How long have you been together?” I was faced with a boy with a mop of brown curly locks. He smiled awaiting my answer. Although I didn’t know how to respond.
“Since birth.” I vaguely answered studying his expression.
“So you aren’t together?” He questioned again. I caught my gaze with Nat as she looked worried.
“If you insist that we are gay then you will be mistaken.” Nat said sitting in her seat and turned to face him. “I could quite ask you the same question. How was your last foursome?” She questioned casually sipping on her hot tea. The boys laughed. The blonde cracked up in hysterics, his face going red.
“Wait till Danielle and Perrie find out about our foursome.” Was all he managed to say.
“Nice chat boys but we get to get going. Don’t want to hold you up, you know.” Natalie winked before grabbing her cup of tea and the remainder of the pizza. Once we got out side, we laughed so loud, the kangaroos could have heard us.
“How was your last foursome?” I tried to speak without laughing.
“You were the one who told me to get on my knees!”
“You gotta admit, that was funny.” I sighed walking up the stairs to our dorm room.
“I’m always on my knees for you for some odd reason.”
“Maybe because I’m your master and you do as I say.” She nodded to agree
“Now let’s watch Mrs Brown’s Boys.” The door slammed shut and the Mrs Brown’s Boys mini marathon began before trying to get an ounce of sleep before tomorrow. When classes begin.
