"I'll make dinner," I inform her, grabbing my keys and stepping out of the flat.
I'm not sure if she heard me, given that she was concentrated on her laptop.
I head to the subway, music blasting in my ears. I had to search for at least an hour, I thought I lost them or forgot them at home.
At my parent's house.
Not mine anymore. Gladly.
I step inside the full train, reminding myself of the stop I have to take to get to college.
I'm a bit sad that we don't have as much a common classes than we thought with Lina. I was hoping to be with her at least forty five percent of the week when she said she was in the same college. We checked our schedules and saw that we have around 3 common classes. All the rest I'll have to spend alone. Or with people, if I manage to make friends. At least acquaintances.
It shouldn't be that hard, I managed to make a lot in high school, and college seems a bit easier since half of the people there might be alone as well.
In the worse case : I'll download Tinder.
I'm not sure if I want any relationship more than platonic though. The last relationships I was in didn't really end really well, being a romantic isn't what I'm best at.
Forty minutes later I'm facing the building, watching every detail of it.
I can't wait.
I'm afraid I'll get lost at the beginning though.
I watch all the people walking by, entering, exiting, and I enter by the main entrance. The decoration is simple and modern, white and grey. Beige for some details. I get near the first plan I find, on a wall on the right, trying to locate my first class. I also take a picture of it, since I'm not sure if there are any plans all around the building.
A blond guy pulls up next to me, taking a picture as well.
I don't understand a single thing. The number of my auditorium isn't indicated on the map. I did well coming here early. I have now around fifty minutes to find it. I think there are section, areas.
After ten minutes of walking around the building, I finally found my area, but sadly not the auditorium.
I crossed path with the blond guy multiple times. Half of the people here must be in the same situation. Should I ask someone?
I stand in front of another plan, waiting until blondie shows up.
"Hey," I turn to him.
"Hi,"
"I don't know if you're new here but I am, and I'm gonna be honest I'm a little lost."
"I am also."
"Oh, okay." Great. No help. "What class do you have?"
"Introduction to psychology."
"What's your classroom?"
"AP17."
A "Oh," escapes my mouth, realising it is my class. "I'm in the same class."
"Do you have any idea of the level? I'm completely lost I don't even know if I'm in the right building."
"We are, I understood that it is on the upper floors but I don't know more."
"Fuck."
We get back to searching, and after twenty minutes of walking, we stop in front of a map.
"Here!" I exclaim, noticing AP17 on it. "Fuck finally,"
"Let's get there, it starts in twenty minutes, people might be there already."
