Opposite Attracts

Chapter 1 ❤️

I'm now standing in front of my dorm here in NYU. I don't know what to feel, it was all new to me. I don't know what do I expect in College.

My Mom just left in a while after she drop me off and remind me all the things she wanted me to do and not, like that I am here to study and prepare for my future not for parties and all stupid things a college student horribly do. I can't help but rolling my eyes because she'd have said it a million times ever since I got the news that I was accepted here in NYU. I decided to turn the knob and surprisingly its not locked. I swung the door open more wider to get my huge luggage inside, my laptop bag and my backpack. I saw a girl standing in front of the dresser assign to her.

"Hi!" She greeted me cheerfully. I smiled back.

"Hello! So I guess this was the side that was assign to me?" I pointed to the bed opposite her side.

"Yeah. Unfortunately I can choose what side I would take because I came first. But would you like us to switch? I haven't started unpacking?" She offers and smile politely.

"No it's alright. I'm Cara Iverson. And you are?"

"Hanna. Hanna Jones. I will be you're rommie for the next 4 epic years of your life here in college." She give me her hand to shake and I take squeezing it gently.

"It was nice meeting you Hanna."

"It was my pleasure meeting an awesome roommate as you are Cara! Anyway, what are you taking up?"

"I am an English Major." I anwsered.

"Oh my God Cara! Can I see your form?!" She asked excitedly and I stuff my form out of my bag. And she scream her lung out in happiness which made me laugh. "Were blockmates!! Whoo!!" She yelled again.

"You're not kidding me right?!" My eyes get widen in excitement. I can't help but also jump in happiness.

"This was exciting!! From now on were friends okay?! She said and I nooded she gave me a warm hug.

It felt good. I feel free now. I have a new friend that is also my roommate that I think that is not hard to get along with. I guess college wasn't that bad.

I can have friends without any approval from my Mom. When I was in highschool she never let me hangout with my highschool friends. She chooses who I can and can't be with.

She never let me stay up at night catching up with my friends even thru text and social networks. She always checking on me before going to be and guess what? I was 18 and still my Mom decides when I would sleep. It felt suffucating but I don't have any choice. My Mom become like that when my Dad left us. I guess my Mom don't want people get between us and get me away from her like my Dad's mistress did.

My heart ache for my Mom. But I guess she's not suppose to do that thing to me, controlling me like a remote control operated thing. It sucks but still she's my Mom and I love her.

"It's already lunch time. Lets go to some fastfood outside then let's unpack together." Hanna suggested and I nooded, getting up from my bed.

"So where you came from?" She started a converstation while were walking in this hall full of new students I guess.. parents hugging their children's and crying like they will be apart forever. How I wish my Mom would be like that, a showy of her soft side. But she isn't, she is just as controlling freak as she is. Sometimes I can't help but think if I am really her daughter the way she's treating me.

"Earth to Cara!" Hanna snap me out of my thoughts and I look at her with a shock.

"I'm sorry. What is it again?" I said and smile apologetically.

"It's alright. I guess you miss your Mom and Dad already like I did."

"No. I mean, not too much. I was just insecure to those who has such a loving and caring parents." I said sadness can be seen in my eyes.

"I guess were on the same shoe Cara, lets just don't mind them okay?Let's enjoy are college life in here together. Don't be sad. Were just not lucky having parents that treated us like stuff toys that they can leave behind and pick us up where they leave us." She chuckled and I smiled at her. She's a good friend I can tell. I was lucky having a friend like her.

"Okay. I came from Washington. And you?" I ask back.

"Chichago. Illinois." She said.

"That's awesome!"

"Not that too. Lets go I'm starving!" She giggled and we headed to the first fastfood we saw and take out a burger fries and a soda.

When we are walking back to the dorms the rain started falling. Bad luck! Of all times why the suddenly poured out. I thought.

We ran towards the dorms Hanna goes ahead of me. When I reach the entrance I bumped into someone, I know that he's taller than me knowing I bumped onto his chest.

"Would you please be careful!" He shouted and I look up him. He has a dark curly hair, a jade eye and an inviting pink lips. "Like what youre seeing?!" He smirked. And I look away.

"I'm sorry." I mouthed before walking pass through him.

"Sorry isn't enough when you already done the damage!" He shouted again.

"I said I'm sorry okay! I didn't mean to bump on someone rude as you! I'm sorry okay!" I shouted back.

"Get out my way!" He soflty jerk me off his way. How rude!

I walk to the elevator and press the button to our floor. I can't help but think of the guy who I bump into, he's cute. I can't help but smile to the thought that running on my mind. But the thing that he was rude and ungentleman makes me hate him, I always hate rude people.

"Cara I'm sorry I didn't wait for you I was fucking soaked do I decided to go up stairs and wait for you here." Hanna said when I get inside our room.

''No it's fine. I'm just going to take a shower because rain water suck my hair, its sticky. Then let's eat and unpack but if you're hungry you can go ahead and eat." I said while stuffing my changing clothes out of my bag.

"No I'll waitfor you here. Move now." Then I go out to the corporate bathroom that I hate. I hate sharing bathroom but I guess again I have no choice I have to be used to it.
