"RACH GET UP!" Screamed my mum upstairs.

I groaned, sat up in bed and stretched. My calender was facing me, I walked up to it looking at the date.  Saturday 1st September. I put a huge red cross in the box and began to smile, today was the day I was leaving to go to University with Jaymi.  All my things were packed in my suitcase, I barely had anything in my room apart from a few cases and boxes packed with my possessions. I got up, ran into the bathroom, taking a quick shower. I squeezed into my jeans, my T--shirt and my hoodie I stole from Jaymi. He still hasn't noticed. I plodded down the stairs, more excited now than anything. My bags were loaded into the car with my parents waiting outside. I stepped into the car and we started our journey to meet Jaymi at the train station. 

We pulled up at the station, Jaymi already stood waiting, on time for a change. I stepped out of the car and ran up to my best friend, giving him a huge hug. My dad handed me my cases.

"You know, I have lost my red hoodie, have you seen it?" Jaymi asked.

"No, I don't know what you're talking about" I replied, cuddling into the hoodie.

Jackie, Jaymi's Mum, began to giggle and looked at me as I joined in with her giggle.

"That's my hoodie isn't it!" Jaymi exclaimed.

"Nooo" I said, sarcastically.

"Oh well, you can keep it, I'm not really fussed"

I laughed and gave him a hug. We stood with our families for a while until our train was called. I hugged my parents and they wished me luck on my studies. I would be in London for a while and wouldn't be coming back until  Christmas, maybe not even Christmas. 

"Good luck sweetie pie, oh this is so emotional" Said my Mum, wiping a tear from her eyes.

"Don't be silly Mum, come here" I said, hugging my mum tightly. I'd be missing a hug from my mum for quite a while. I hugged my Dad and Jackie. Jaymi and I boarded the train and as the engine reved up and the train started to move, I waved out of the window to my parents. Freedom.

After around 6 hours spent on trains, taxi's and buses we finally reached the place of our dreams, Hope University. Jaymi and I followed the pathway down towards the University. As we all stood, I saw the modern building looking over me. I looked up at the summer sunshine on my face and smiled. I was finally here. I looked at Jaymi and he returned my glance. Smiling, we ran throught the doors, looking at all of the students talking and chatting. As soon as we walked in, we felt all of the eyes glare at us but with Jaymi by my side, I knew everything would be ok.

"New Students?" Asked a Lady from beside us.

We nodded our heads.

"Follow Me" She said.

We followed her through the paths and hallways of the University. This place was massive, I had no clue how I was even going to find my way around here. We then walked up to a desk.

"Name please?"

"Rachel...Rachel Louise"

"Right, you're in room 330 sharing with Molly, Megan and Abbie, directions are on this map, student meeting in the common room at six, lessons start tomorrow 8am"

"Erm, thankyou" I said, taking the piece of paper from her hand.

"Next" she said, her miserable voice making me angry.

"Jaymi Hensley"

"We don't have a Jaymi Hensley"

" Ok, James Hensley"
