not one of them. [leonardo dicaprio]

one; law

"Shit!" I yelled looking at my alarm clock, it was 7:23 and I had to be out of the house by 8:00 to get to my classes on time. I hopped out of bed and flicked the light switch on, my brown hair was tangled in a million knots and my green eyes were blurry with sleep. I ran to the bathroom and pulled my hair into a ponytail, I put my contact lenses in and my makeup on before running into my room to get dressed. I grabbed some jeans and a gray t-shirt before throwing my black nike hoodie over the top. I locked my apartment door and headed down the stairs, I was feeling slightly nauseous as it was my first day of university and I didn't really know what to expect. I headed down into the lobby to be greeted by John, the lobby manager of the apartment buildings I lived in. It was 7:43 by the time I was running down the stairs from the eighth floor, I had a piece of toast in my hand and my car keys in the other, my backpack was slamming onto my back with each step.

"Morning John, any mail? I asked, still chewing on my toast.
"Ahh, a bill for Miss Zoey Robinson" he said, handing me the envelope.
I sarcastically thanked him.
"Well, first day of uni, got to get going" I smiled, and started to walk away.
"Zo, wait I almost forgot,  Alec came in last night, he said he really misses you and that he's sorry" John said.
"Yeah, well tell that asshole, that he wouldn't have to miss me if he hadn't been fucking every other girl in town" I said, smiling and walking away.
I got in my car and started driving to Hodgson university of Law, which was a 45 minute drive from my apartment.

I pulled up at the university with enough time to spare before my first class, I had my laptop and some pens and paper in my backpack so I thought I was prepared enough. I walked over to a map that showed the whole campus on it. A tall dirty blond haired boy came and stood beside me, obviously searching for his class also.
"First day?" He questioned.
I turned to face him, goddamn this boy was good looking.
"Yeah, is it that noticeable?" I laughed.
"Well, you look almost as worried as I feel and as lost as I am" he laughed back.
"Leonardo" he said, stretching his hand out.
"Zoey" I smiled.
"Where's your first class?" He asked.
I looked down at the slip of paper in my hand.
"Griffon hall" I said.
"How about you?"
"Well, looks like we're in this together!" Leonardo smiled.
We walked to our class talking about our lives and everything in between.

"So, you rooming here?" Leo asked.
"No, I actually have an apartment 45 minutes away, what about you?" I asked.
"I'm staying with a friend, he lives an hour away from here, buts he never there, trying to win back his ex who he cheated on, she won't take him back, which I don't blame her, he's an ass and he should never have cheated in the first place!" Leo stated.
"Funny story, my ex keeps trying to get me to accept his apology, after he banged pretty much every girl in town" I laughed.
"Wait, your not.." Leo started.
"I'm not what?" I asked, looking up into his eyes.
"Zoey Robinson?"
I crossed my arms.
"You live with Alec Fisher?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yeah, I'm the ex then" I said.
"Small world, huh?" Leo laughed.
I couldn't help but laugh about it myself.

We arrived at our class with five minutes to spare. As the door was already open, we walked in and sat down. I pulled out a notebook and my laptop, ready to copy any notes that would be necessary. Leo pulled out his own laptop and a pen and paper. Other students started filling in the spare seats all around us.  A girl with bleached blond hair sat down on the other side of Leonardo.
"Hi, I'm Grace" she turned to him.
"Uh, Leonardo" he replied.
I couldn't help but giggle slightly at his awkwardness.
"I'm Zoey" I introduced myself.
"I didn't ask" she sarcastically smiled at me. This bitch.
I rolled my eyes and turned away.  A younger man walked in with a briefcase, he had light brown hair and wore glasses, he placed the briefcase down on a podium and introduced himself.
"My name is Mr Grant. I will be you teacher for the rest of the year, I expect you to treat me with respect and I shall do the same for you." He stated.
The two hours passed by quickly, I had one more lecture today and then I could go back home. I packed my things and walked out of the classroom, heading in the direction of my next class.
"Zoey" I heard Leo yell.
I turned to face him, smiling slightly. He jogged to catch up with me.
"How come you didn't wait?" He asked.
"Well, you seemed to be hitting it off with Grace, so I thought it was best to leave you two alone" I stated.
"Grace? You really think I'd go for someone like Grace? She's an attention whore and anyways I've got my eyes on someone else"
I laughed slightly.
"Oh yeah, who's the special someone" I asked, looking up at him.
"That, is a secret Miss Robinson" he smiled.

Leo only had one lecture today so he was able to head home, I sat in the back corner of my next lecture by myself. Grace was also in my class, I glanced over at her to see her flirting with another boy, God, was she just here to pick up boys? My lecture finished and I was walking out of the class when I felt someone push my shoulder, hard. My notebook fell out of my arms and papers fluttered everywhere. There were important notes on some of them and doodles on others. I turned around to see grace smiling smugly to herself.
"Oh dear! I'm so clumsy, here let me help you!" She said, acting as if it were an accident.
I bent down and started picking up papers, as did she. She handed me a few of my papers before looking me straight in the eyes.
"Don't even think about going for Leonardo, he's mine bitch" she whispered.
I stood up straight, after collecting all my papers.
"Didn't know you owned him" I spoke clearly, staring at her.
I walked over to my car before turning around. Grace was staring at me, along with a couple of other students from our last lecture. I shoved my back pack in my car before standing up straight.
"It's people like you that think it's okay to try and fuck up other people's lives, and I know that's what you want to do with mine, well guess what? It's not going to work" I flipped her off before getting in my car and driving away.
I drove away with a smug smile resting on my face, tapping the steering wheel to a song by The Clash.
