I grabbed my suitcase and my saxophone case out of the trunk of my car and began walking to my dorm room. Finally my last trip. That flashback just bought back unwanted memories.
I opened my door and saw a girl with bron hair standing next to my bed.
"Excuse me can I help you?" I ask
She jumps and turns to look at me.
"Oh you must be Molly, I'm Eleanor I'll be your roommate," she says holding out her hand.
"Its nice to meet you, but um...that's my bed," I say
"Oh sorry...I'll move to this one then," she says moving her things.
I set my suitcase down and put my saxophone case into my closet. I collapse onto my bed staring at the ceiling.
"What instrument do you play?" Eleanor asks
"Alto saxophone," I say
"Oh I love the sound of the sax," she says
"Well that's good because I need to practice a lot if I'm going to keep my band scholarship," I say
"Oh that's fine I'll probably be out anyway my boyfriend is off from tour so he's coming to visit along with his bandmate," she says
"Well that works out fine, your boyfriend is in a band?" I ask
"What?...oh I'm sorry I used to people recognising my name,although I should've realised something was up when you didn't scream when I said my name, my boyfriend is Louis Tomlinson from One Direction," she says
"Oh that's cool," I say
I could tell she was a bit releaved when I didn't give much of a reaction. But all I really knew about the band is they were five boys who auditioned for the X Factor got thrown together and BOOM! they're big all over. Personally I just don't see it.
*Knock Knock*
"Oh that's probably Louis and Harry," Eleanor says walking to the door
I jump from natural instincts at the mention of Harry. I'm over reacting though, aren't I? its not like its the same Harry that made my high school experience so traumatic. Could it?
"Hey boys come in and meet my roommate Molly," Eleanor says the the boys. I cant see them because my bed is behind the door.
I hear them walk into the room and slowly lift myself into a sitting position. And I'm staring into the greenest eyes Ive ever seen.
Oh Fudge balls.
"Hi I'm Louis Tomlinson nice to meet ya Molly," Louis says
"Hi nice to meet you too," I say quietly
"This here is Harry Styles," Louis says clapping Harry on the back
"Oh I know who he is," comes out of my mouth before I can stop it.
Eleanor quickly looks at me with a puzzling look while the two boys step back. Waiting for me to aact like one of their fan girls. News flash! I hate you guys. Especially you Mr. Harry-flirt -rich -snotty -bully -Styles.
"You a fan?" Harry asks
Okay numbscull I know its been three years and I got contacts and my braces off and my hair is cut differently but seriously? You cant recognise me.
"No! I just hear about you all the fudging time," I snap
"Oh little sister?" he asks
"No from your measouly one night stands or little flings with cougars. You've made quite the delegation for yourself," I say smirking when I see his anger boiling.
After all those years I'm finally getting my sweet revenge.
"I'm leaving have fun Louis," Harry says before storming out of the dorm
"Harry wait!" Louis yells running after Harry.
"What the hell was that?" Eleanor asks turning to me
"Trust me if you knew the whole story you wouldn't be so pissed at me right now," I say looking down at my hands.
"So tell me and maybe I'll understand," she says sitting down next to me.
So I did tell her. Everything. All those miserable years in high school.
"So it you went to high school with him why didn't he recognise you?" she asks when I finish the story.
"Well because in high school I looked like this," I say handing her a picture from one of my band competitions.
I'm wearing my black long dress my hair is in braids my big Steve Erkel glasses and who can forget the braces? Oh the braces.
"That's you?" Eleanor asks
"Yeah that's me. After Harry left the school Elaine stopped being mean to me and I decided to change who I was and Poof! here's the new me," I say
"Wow. I'm sorry I laughed," she says
"Its okay don't worry about it. I'm a different person now," I say
"Hey El Harry told me to take you out and have fun so wanna go -?" Louis asks walking into the dorm
"Yeah lets go!" she says jumping up
"Bye guys have fun!" I yell to them as the door closes.
I stand up and quickly unpack my stuff and take a shower change into pj's and crawl into bed.
*2 Hours Later*
*Knock Knock*
"Eleanor did you forget your key?" I groan getting out of bed. I was just getting to the good part of my book.
I open the door and am met by green eyes and curly hair.
"Oh its you," I scoff
"Yeah same here. Is Louis here?" he asks
"No hes not, haven't you ever heard of this thing called a cellphone?" I asked
"I tried it its off," he says
"Well sorry cant help ya there. Goodbye now," I say trying to shut the door.
He moves so fast I barely see his hand come out and hold the door open.
"Wait a minute I know you!" he says.
"It only took you long enough,'' I say
"Well sorry miss pigtails and glasses although j remember that retainer as braces last I saw you," he says
"Yeah I was a nerd then nerd now can you just leave if your going to make fun of me?" I ask
"I-"
"Hey Harry I was just going to call you ready to go back to the hotel?" Louis asks walking up behind Harry
"Yeah come on," Harry says pulling him away
"What'd you do this time?!" Eleanor asks slamming the door
"Nothing! I swear! He finally realeased who I was though," I say flopping back into my bed.
"Its the pigtails and glasses," Eleanor says
I roll my eyes and take my glasses off. I snap my bed light off and close my eyes. Nightmares of high school being drug out of the shadows.
