Anna's P.O.V.
Pulling away from the hug, I looked at my friends, tears in all our eyes. "I'm gonna miss you guys" I smiled sadly, how was I going to manage without my best friends? Lola smiled back through her tears as the bus pulled up by the side of the road. "We'll see you soon". Fighting back more tears, I grabbed my backpack, flicking my hair behind my ear as I boarded the bus.
I pulled my laptop from my bag, logging into the coach's Wi-Fi and clicking on the school's website, imprinted on my browsing history from the amount of times I'd viewed it. Scrolling through the familiar page, I scrutinised it carefully for any possible information I hadn't seen before.
The bus pulled to another stop and a shadow fell over the screen "this seat taken?" I looked up to see a pretty blonde with a pixie-ish face curled up into a cheeky smile. I smiled back "sure" she grinned again and slipped into the seat next to me, peering over my shoulder curiously.
"Oh no, it is not healthy for your eyes to be attached to that page, she reached over my shoulder, clicking on the small cross in the corner of the tab and I looked at her with my eyebrows raised.

The bus pulled to a stop and my eyes widened, had that much time really passed? Hopping off the bus, I stretched my legs gratefully, the leg room on that bus was seriously cramped. I pushed through the crowd for my suitcase and yanked at the handle on mine, to no avail, it was really stuck in there. A pair of hands gripped onto the handles next to mine and a moment later the suitcase slid out. I turned to see the girl off the bus, whose name I'd learnt was Lila. She smiled sheepishly, "I'm stronger than I look" she explained and for some reason, I laughed.
Our apartments were in the same building, so we walked together, talking almost like old friends. We separated at her door, as mine was higher up and I hugged her goodbye, agreeing to meet up tomorrow to talk. As if we hadn't talked enough! Lugging my suitcase up the remaining stairs, I took out the key that had been sent to me the previous week and opened the door, immediately shutting it again. "Sorry, sorry , sorry" I spluttered, as a half dressed girl stormed out, shirt in hand and glared at me before pulling the shirt on and storming downstairs. "Your shirt's on backwards" I yelled after her and she growled furiously at me. "Rude!" I muttered to myself "I was only trying to be nice". I heard a chuckle and turned around, almost fainting when I saw my roommate properly. My mouth went dry, he had to be the hottest guy I'd ever seen. His eyes twinkled as he stepped closer and closer, until my head was staring at his neck. He took a piece of my hair in his hand and I shivered. He smirked, and my illusion shattered as he said "Is your hair red? Why? That's so stupid" he chuckled and I growled, my feet now working as I grabbed my suitcase and stormed down the hallway. However, it was me, so obviously that didn't go right and I somehow managed to trip over the wheels. Even though they were behind me. Don't ask me how. My roommate chuckled and walked to me, holding out his hand. I debated whether to take it or not before sighing and grabbing it to pull me up. He grunted "bit heavy" and I hit his chest, before realising that, like the girl who had just been thrown out, he was shirtless. I quickly pulled my hand away, but was unable to tear my eyes away from his abs. He smirked again, snapping his fingers in my face a couple of times until I looked up. He held out his hand again "I'm Blake, but you can just call me the man of your dreams". "More like nightmares" I spat "and I'm not going to shake your hand, I dread to think where it's been" his smirk faded as I turned and pulled my suitcase, thankfully not tripping up this time. He yelled after me "second door on the right" and I followed his instructions, without acknowledging him. Propping my suitcase by the door, I went to sit on the bed and sighed, looking around the room. Welcome to College Anna.
