Detached.

1) I don't bite.

I stare down looking at my feet,  admiring my old beat up converse. There's a scuff mark on my left sneaker from where I had stumbled just last month from being pulled down the block by Charlie my dog. He's a German Shepard, but also my best bud. I feel myself begin to get lost in my thoughts, ever since 3 years ago best has kind of been a tough word for me. Like for instance " I had the best night ever " or " hey look its my best friend"... I used to have a best friend but-
I'm suddenly snapped out of my thoughts when my cab driver tells me that we're here. I look up out the car window only to be amazed by how big this campus is, I sigh at the thought that WTUC ( west temple university of California) will be my new home for the next few years. I step out the cab and stand on the side walk as the cab driver gets my bags out the trunk, i thank him once he's done and pay him for the ride, then I turn around to get a better look at my new college. Tons of new college students are arriving also today so I take my bags and walk through the big entry into the college.

Finally, after all that busy fuss and commotion I made it safe and sound to my dorm. As I stick the key into the dorm door and push it open I instantly meet the back of a girl. She's not the tallest but she's not short either so I'd say she's about my height, she has curly ash blue hair sticking out from under her black beanie, she's wearing a white t shirt and black ripped skinnies and all black Suede Chelsea boots. Honestly, I was very impressed with her style just from the back side, when suddenly the girl turns around towards me. She has big, bright blue eyes, but with the light not directly on them, they're almost a light shade of hazel, she has a silver hoop nose piercing on the right and black lip ring on the left. I stare at her in awe as she pulls her earphones out and starts to speak to me, " hey I'm Konnor, but you can call me Kon for short." I hear the girl speak, well Konnor speak and she has an accent, a bit of a British accent, Konnor giggles before answering " yes I do have an accent."
I realize then I had said those words aloud and I mentally smack myself, I look up at Konnor to find her taking in my appearance, I was wearing dark blue skinnies my low cut black & white converse, a black v neck with my hair up in a messy bun. Konnor begins to speak to me again for the third time in a row, "So what's your name love?" I was too lost in my own thoughts to mind Konnor right now, my eyes were wandering around our dorm room and how massive it actually was considering this was a college. " Hey girly I don't bite I swear." Konnor calls at me from across the room and I finally get some words to form in my head.
" Ah hey, uh I'm Scarlett." Konnor raises an eyebrow at me and instantly smiles, " I got it... I'll call you Scar for short if that's alright with you tho?" I tense up a little at the sound of that nickname " Scar" I think to myself, only one other person has ever called me that nickname before and he's-
" Hey Scar you alright there?" Konnor asks me as a light ring of sweat starts to form on my forehead. I take a breath before I let out a restless sigh and reassure her I'm okay. I find myself plopping down on the bed towards the left and I hear what sounds like a mini high pitch squeal from Konnor which causes me to chuckle. " ahhh sorry I just really wanted the right bed and well now I've got it " Konnor says, I nod and lay my head back down on the bed and close my eyes for a brief moment and before I know it I find myself drifting off to sleep.
