So there I was, outside Yodali State University, sat next to my mum in her Ford Fiesta with my signature tartan top and my little black pumps. Mum had a wide grin on her face as she parked the car across the road from the crowded main entrance, "my little girl is going to university, it was only yesterday you were playing with Barbie's!" Mum said as she started to tear up "mum please don't worry, I'll be back before you know it!" I said while hugging her "the boot is open to get your things" mum sobbed before finally letting me go "love you!" I said to my mum before shutting the car door, going to the boot, pulling out my two suitcases and freezing to the pavement at the sight of my first fear I encountered in university, Crowds. I took a deep breath and stormed into the crowd of horror, I pushed my way to the front and got my dorm key alot faster than I had expected, the lady behind the desk told me to leave my suitcases with her so she could deliver them to my dorm. I then walked out of the office and back into the sunshine of Ireland , I am half Irish and half English but mum pursued dad to let me go to a Irish university seen as my high school and primary school were both English, we were lucky today because usually it just rained. I strolled down the curved road to the coffee shop where I said i would meet Quinton, my best friend... But not like that... He is gay so that wouldn't work out right would it. I saw him sat at a table for two with his camera by his side of course, I ran into the shop, gave Quinton a huge hug and sat down in front of him. "Did I miss your mum then, Marigold?" Quinton asked before sipping his cappuccino "yeah she ran out of tissues!" I giggled. Quinton used to live next to us before his parents found out he was gay and shipped him off to a special needs school, they are real Christians and don't believe in gay or lesbian marriage, Me and Quinton stayed in touch via mobile and this was the first time we had seen each other in four years. "It's so so nice to see you Quinton, I mean like..." I said not really knowing what to say "so your still as awkward as when I left you!" Quinton laughed as I got up to order a mocha, Quinton was right, I was the most awkwardly shy person you could ever meet in the entire world. I sat back down in front of Quinton with my mocha and tried to act as normal as possible in front of him "so what are you going to be studying?" I asked him before taking a sip of my warm beverage "photography of course, and you?" Quinton replied after he took a swig of his cappuccino "I'm doing I.C.T" I replied "Umm I'm sorry I've.... Umm got to go!" I said to Quinton before storming out of the cafe to a concrete slope right by a pond, a few houses and some boats. I heard Quinton snap a photo of something and run to sit next to me, he pulled out my dorm keys and university pass out of my pocket, he put the pass over my head, pulled my hair out of it and said "let's go explore your dorm Marigold." He pulled me off the concrete and lead me in the opposite direction of the coffee shop, I read a small sign what said:
Dorm block straight forward
So we walked straight forward until we reached the dorms, I swiped my card at the main door then walked along the corridor to my room, got out my key, twisted it in the door and opened the door to find my suitcases at the end of a plain bed in a plain room, I had to get to work right away...
