Chapter 76- "do you miss him?"

A/N

The picture is Jade's new roomie Acacia.

JADES POV

The plane ride was horrible, the weather here is horrible, my University will be horrible and my life is well and truly h o r r i b l e.

I answer the woman who asks for my name when I reach the front desk.

"I have you down for room number 415. You're rooming with a girl called Acacia Brinley. She's a straight A student so she'll be a great room mate for you," the lady tells me.

"What do you mean by that?" I question.

"I mean seen as your grades aren't as top notch as her's maybe she can give you a hand," she smiles, handing me some forms and ushering me away as I swear at her under my breath.

I walk through the halls and reach the elevator where I click on the third level and wait.

The elevator stops on the second floor and allow two boys in where I awkwardly stand in the corner avoiding eye contact.

"Hey hot stuff," one retorts.

I roll my eyes, "leave me alone," I sigh.

"And what if we don't," he chuckles, walking closer to me.

"You don't want to know," I say, folding my arms.

"Come on then i'd like to know," he says placing an arm on me when the elevator opens to reveal a girl with short black hair.

"Leave her alone Dom," she says.

"Babe it was only a mess about," he sniggers to her.

"It didn't look like one. Seriously back off she could do better," the girl laughs as I exit the elevator.

"She just took shit too seriously," he chuckles.

"Dom do us all a favour and fall down the fucking elevator shaft," she replies walking in the same direction as me.

"I'm Acacia," she grins holding out a hand.

"Jade," I smile, shaking it.

"Are you my new roomie?" she asks.

"I think. Room 415?" I question.

"Precisely," she nods turning the corner and reaching our dorm before opening the door.

"It looks like a nice place," I mutter, better than College's.

"Yeah it is. It's a good job too cause this is our home for three years," she chuckles getting a pink lucozade from the fridge.

"Well, I've only actually enrolled for one. Are you all unpacked and everything?" I ask her.

"Yeah I came yesterday actually. That's how I know Dom. I wouldn't go there if I were you, he's a dick," she waves off.

"One, I gathered and two, I wouldn't plus I can't," I smile, showing her the ring.

"Jeez. Already? Who's the lucky fella?" she laughs examining it.

"Niall Horan," I say.

"As in One Direction's Niall Horan?" she asks.

"I take it you're a fan?" I laugh.

"I'm not a big big fan but I sure as hell know who they are. I knew I recognised you from somewhere. But well done you got a good one," she smirks.

"Thanks," I say.

I wheel my suitcase into our bedroom and put it on my bed along with my carry ons.

"He's on tour right?" she questions.

"Yeah. I was going to go with him but I couldn't I had to come here," I sigh.

"Aw I bet you miss him like crazy," she sympathises.

"Yeah. Yeah I do," I mutter looking down at the ring.

"Anyway, we should go have a look around," she suggests.

"Ok, sounds good," I agree, following her as she walks out of the dorm.

We walk to the elevators and then to the social lounge on the ground floor near the coffee shop.

"Do you know anyone yet?" I ask her.

"A few people. Not a lot though. Dom and all his friends are assholes so I wouldn't mingle with them," she tells me making me laugh.

"But you only met them yesterday and you already gathered that?" I chuckle.

"They went to my College. Me and Dom had a 'thing' but that's over now," she shrugs.

"Do you miss him?" I ask her as we sit at a table.

"No. You couldn't possibly," she scoffs.

Suddenly I feel someone's presence sit in the seat next to me and a girl with long wavy blonde hair's sat beside me smiling.

"Jennifer," she says.

"Uh hi," I smile.

"I'm Acacia," Acacia speaks up.

"I'm Jade," I add.

"Nice to meet you guys. Me and my friend Ellie were just watching from afar and I think I know you from somewhere?" she says narrowing her eyes scanning me.

"The tabloids maybe," Acacia mutters sniggering.

"Oh my god you're Niall Horan's girlfriend," she squeals.

"Yeah," I nod.

"Wow. Guess that means you can stay away from Dom and the other guys then doesn't it?" she says suddenly becoming quite rude.

"I would anyway?" I respond.

"Judging by your outfit you look like a type who wouldn't be able to keep your hands off anyone," she snaps, leaving the table.

I'm wearing a cropped top and some high waisted jeans with my vans oh yeah I am one of those types aren't I.

"Don't speak to her like that. If anyone's a slut around here its clearly you," Acacia shouts to her.

I splutter with laughter as Jennifer glares at her, walking over.

"Say that again little newbee," she spits.

"I said," Acacia begins in a sarcastic tone, "if anyone's a slut around here it's clearly you," she finishes off with a sweet smile.

"You better watch it," Jennifer says walking away.

"That was great," I laugh.

"Thank you. I do try," Acacia says.

"Who does she think she is anyway?If I weren't engaged to Niall I would probably just hook up with one of them purposely just to spite her," I huff.

"Same but I aren't sinking to her level," Acacia waves off.

"I'll go get us a coffee shall I?" she smiles.

"Yeah thanks," I nod giving her some money.

"I'll be two minutes," she says walking over to the coffee shop.

Maybe University won't be so horrible.
