~Tana~

Nicah and I walked to The Grand Central Station, we boarded our train we talked and got to know each other more, she was going to study English, and someday she hopes to be a writer and in the publishing industry. In about half an hour we reached the main area.

We waited for a cab and it was a pretty long line, so to pass time, I decided to try and get to know each other even more.

"So, how was your school, like before college, like elementary, middle school, high school?" I asked, I really hoped she didn't think I was nosy.

"Oh it was great! The schooling was great, the teachers actually tried to help us understand," she giggled.  "In elementary I had my best friend, we were really good friends all the way until high school! We had so much fun together, during middle school we would do almost everything together!" she laughed at her once childish behavior, but I choked back tears on how after my best friend left, I was all alone and nobody would hang out with me.

"Are you okay?" Nicah asked, concern in her eyes.

"Yea, I'm fine I was just thinking of how my dog is back home, I really miss him." I lied.

"Oh, yea, I really miss my dog back home too, his name is spot." she smiled. "oh and, before I forget, how was your school?"

"Oh it was great, school, teachers, friends." I almost choked on friends. "Sorry Nicah, I think I got something in my throat!" I laughed a little, Nicah started laughing too, and helped me get myslef back together. I barely remembered my best friend, but I still missed the fun times that sometimes I dream of.

Finally, we got into a cab, after telling the driver some instructions, we drove to NYU, and stopping right in front of the builiding, I got out of the cab with Nicah, we both stared at it for several minutes.

"She's a beauty, but I've got to get going!" the cab driver smiled. I quickly paid him, and he drove off.

Nicah and I squealed to each other, and arm in arm we walked into the NYU building.

We registered, and we found out that we were going to be in the same dorm because we both were coming during the school year. Wow, lucky coincidence, I'm glad that I met her, and didn't have to share a dorm with a complete stranger.

Me and Nicah went up and found our dorms. Taking the key that I got, we opened the dorm room door. We both gasped, everything was white, the walls the beds, the chairs, the desks, the lamps, and even the floor carpet, it was like we stepped from hell into heaven, not saying that the rest of NYU was hell.

Nicah spoke up first,"we need to change everything, well not everything but we need to glam it up a bit!" She took out some posters, some pink and blue decorations, and a lot of sparkly things, I admired her confidence and after a few minutes of debating with myself, I also began to decorate my part of the room.

Five minutes later, we stepped back to admire our new room, it had both a girly and edgy vibe, it was very bold, and I loved it.

I plopped my suitcase onto my bed and began unpacking my clothes and hanging them up, Nicah did the same.

"So, tell me more about yourself!" Nicah said.

"Umm, I don't know wehre to start!" I laughed, "well, I originally lived in California, in Los Banos, I lived there until I was five. After that, I moved to Massachusetts, and there I started school, I been there all the way up to high school. After graduating, I wanted to go to NYU, but I didn't feel ready to leave my family so I went ther for a year until now, and then here I am, with you, unpacking, in NYU!" I did a little jazz hands, we both laughed at my silliness.

"Wait! How about we go over do the dorm in front of us and say hi?!" Nicah gave a wicked smile.

"Oh yea! Why didn't I think of that?" I giggled, we both stopped unpacking and walked over to the room in front of ours.

We knocked, and after a few seconds, I really pretty girl opened her door. She had gorgeous red hair, and her face looked like it came out of a magazine.

"Hi!" she smiled. "You must be the transfers right? Come in!" She waved her hands to her empty bed beside her. 

"So, you guys see anything interesting yet? I was so excited for you guys to come, I really love meeting new people!" I already liked her.

"Well, actually, we arrived arond 30 minutes ago, so we just began unpacking and decorating our room." Nicah spoke up.

"Nice! How bout you?" She pointed her question at me.

"Yea, I arrived with Nicah because we accidentally met on the same plane, and then we found out we were both transferring to NYU." I told her, " oh and by the way, my name is Tana."

"Cool name, my name is Roxana." She smiled. " I heard alot about you guys, the professors were telling every class how you guys were going to be coming, but they didn' mention names. I guess it was supposed to be a surprise. And I was just wondering, what are you guys studying?" she asked, I smiled at her question, I could tell she was a really outgoing person.

I was about to answer.

Just then, two boys walked into our room, I turned around to see who it was, there was a really cute dark haired guy, and one who looked really familiar, but I couldn't seem to remember who it was. I stood up to greet them.

"Hey I'm Zayn, you?" he greeted back, he was a really nice looking guy.

I smiled at him. " My name is Tana."

The curly haired boy I couldn't recognize became wide eyed. I decided to ignore it and walked over to him. "Hi, my name is Tana, what's yours?"

"Harry"

I gasped, he was my best friend that left when I was in middle school.
