Accidental Roommates

Chapter one: September

I sat on the plane, next to this nice old gentleman, staring out the window as we got closer and closer to the ground.

"I'm coming here to visit my daughter and her new born. . . Why are you here child?" The old dude said in a croaky old guy voice.

"University. My parents want me to be a dancer" I hate dance but it's the only thing that makes my parents happy so I do it.

"University! I assumed you was older than that" he coughed

"I get that a lot."

The plane kissed the runway and came to a holt. We all got off and collected our bags.

"Good luck with everything sweetheart." He shook my hand and we parted ways.

I sat with about 3 other people my age at the airport bus stop. The bus goes to a stop right outside the university.

The bus arrived at 7:04 am. . . 4 minutes late.

"One please" I said to the bus driver who gave me my ticket. I sat down and listened to music till it was my stop.

I got off the bus at the end of a long path leading to the side of the university.

The building was unlike anything I'd ever of imagined. It was like a castle with a huge field surrounding it. Out the front there was a lake and some trees. I read in the programme that that's the best uni for studying dance and music.

This place isn't as bad as I expected.

After waiting in reception for 10 minutes I got a timetable for my lessons and a room key with its number on 'Room 317'. I put the timetable away and the key in my pocket so I could drag my two suitcases, one of all my clothes, toiletries, makeup and hair products the other full of dancing items like shoes and leotards.

I looked around for a moment before realising there was no elevator. I groaned and began to pull my cases up the steps.

"Want a hand?" A voice said from behind me.

I turned to see a tall blonde boy with ice blue eyes and a lip ring.

"Thanks but I got this."

I carried on struggling until I gave up and looked at him in defeat. He just laughed and grabbed one of my cases.

"What room m'lady?" He said in the most British accent he could pull off with his strong Australian accent.

"Um 317?"

"Ah yes, this way ma'am" He laughed turning right at the fork in the stairs.

We arrived at my room and I thanked him.

"If you need anything I'm in room 213" he smiled and walked away as I unlocked the door.

I walked in and dumped my stuff on the unoccupied bed. My roommate must be out.

I began to unpack when I heard the door open and close. I spun round looking down.

"Hi I'm your new-" I looked up to see a naked boy wearing only a towel around his waist, his hair flipping in his face. "Am I in the right room?"

"Room 317?"

"Yeah"

"Then yes"

He slowly shuffled to his side of the room and put on some underwear.

"But I thought it was only same sex rooms?"

"So did I."

"Shit! I know why, my name must be under Danny on the list instead of Danielle." I was trying to avoid looking at him. "I'll ask to change tomorrow, the reception closed at 8"
