I put away the last of my clothes and sit on my bed. It's been 2 hours and I've already unpacked everything I brought with me. You could say I'm a perfectionist, and I like it that way. Now I just have to wait and see who my roommate is.

 5 minutes later, the door opens and in walks the one and only Alexa Luria.

"Lexi! I didn't know you were coming here. Why didn't you tell me?" I embrace my best friend in a hug, not allowing her to speak.

"I changed my mind. I do need to go to college, even though I may have told you I didn't." She says.

"Well, if you're gonna be here, you might as well unpack. We can go out for a tour before orientation." She nods, unpacking her 3 bags, with my help.

2 Hours Later

"I think that's it. Come on." We walk down the 2 staircases to the bottom floor of the dorm.

When I walk outside, the sun immediately hits my eyes. I put on my sunglasses and we start walking on the sidewalk.

I look down at my phone while we walk and Alexa stops me.

"Starbucks." She says.

"Sorry, bestie. I'm limiting myself to one Starbucks drink and one snack a day. I already had it for breakfast. I'll wait out here while you get you something."

"Ok. Be right back." She smiles and enters the building. I look down at my phone, scrolling through Instagram.

Someone bumps into me, causing me to drop my phone into the grass.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I should've been watching where I was going. Is it broken? I can buy you another one." I look into his deep brown eyes and smile.

"No, it's totally fine. I probably shouldn't be standing in the middle of the sidewalk." I pick up my phone and turn it off.

"Hey, you're kinda cute. What's your name?"

"Thanks. I'm Ariana."

"Justin. Nice to meet you."

"You too."

"Can I have your number?" He says uncertainly.

"Sure." We both put our numbers in each others phones and return them.

"I'll, uh, see you around. Oh, are you coming to orientation?"

"Yeah. I'm a freshman."

"Me too. Maybe we'll have some of the same classes. See you later." I smile as he walks away.

"Who was that?" Alexa says.

"Justin. He's a freshman too."

"I think you like him." She says.

"I think I do too. Let's go." We continue our walk for about 30 minutes.

"It's time for orientation, come on." We walk to the auditorium and find seats.

5 minutes later, Justin walks in and takes a seat next to me.

"Hey." He says.

"Hi. This is my best friend,  Alexa. Alexa, this is Justin."

"Hi, nice to meet you." Alexa says.

"You too." Justin says.

"Welcome to Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida." The principal of the school rambles on about school procedure that no one really listens to.

30 minutes later, orientation is over and people are exiting the auditorium. All we learned from it was that there's a party tonight. Alexa decided not to go because she has classes tomorrow but me and Justin don't have classes for 2 days so we're going.

7:00 pm

I pull on my shoes and stand up.

"Are you sure you don't wanna come?" I ask Alexa

"Are you sure you don't wanna come?" I ask Alexa.

"I'm positive." She says.

"Ok. Call me if you change your mind." I walk downstairs only to find Justin waiting for me.

"You didn't have to wait."

"Well I did. You look amazing." He takes my hand and we walk towards the frat house.

"So, what do you wanna be?"

"I want to be a singer. I know it's weird, but..." He says.

"It's not weird. I wanna be a singer too."

"Oh, cool. Well, we're here." We walk in the house, music loud enough to wake all of Florida.

There are people everywhere, drinking and dancing.

"Want me to get you something to drink?"

"Sure."

"Just a warning, whatever it is, it's probably spiked." I laugh and roll my eyes playfully.

"I know. It's not a problem. I've drank before." I reply as he walks away.

5 minutes later, Justin comes back with 2 drinks in hand.

"Thanks." I down the drink in less than 5 seconds, leaving Justin to stare in shock.

"Delish." He smiles, doing the same with his drink.

3 drinks later, me and Justin are upstairs in an unknown bedroom, doing something that should not be done.
