It's been a week since I've moved to Ireland. I was born and raised in Hawaii

I got an apartment in one of the complexes. I also plan on taking some classes in the near by university

I always wished that I could go to university but I never really fulfilled it since I was working in different places in need of some funds. I already got myself together, I had my own savings and I wanted to finish my schooling

I walked to university, walked up to the desk and I spoke to the lady

"May I help you?" She asked with a thick Irish accent

"Yes, I would like to enroll for some classes, I have all of my papers here" I handed her the envelope full of my documents

She opened it up and looked at my report cards from high school. My grades were average, I studied hard and I got an "okay" grade according to my family

"What course are you going to take?" She asked while she pushed her glasses up to her face

"I'm taking Film and video"

I made YouTube videos for a living, I was still an amateur at video editing and filming but this coarse really made me ecstatic

"So you're from Hawaii, miss Skyler?" She smiled

"Yeah...I just moved here"

I signed some other papers and walked back home to my small apartment. I called my dad and he answered automatically
D=dad S=Skyler

D:hey honey!
S:hi dad!
D:have you enrolled for uni?
S:I just came from there, my classes start next week
D:your little brother and I miss you so much! All the way from California
S:I do too dad, I'll Skype you later bye. Love you
D:love you too baby cakes

My family moved to California when I was 13 but we would go back to Hawaii when it was summer

TIME SKIP

Today was my first day of college, I was so excited!

The types of videos that I make are short films and a few challenges. I had 646,873 subscribers at the moment and I was happy with my channel

I wore a blue hoodie and a pair of black skinny jeans along with my red high cut converse, I just let my messy wavy hair do its thing with just a few brushing. I walked to the college and there were loads of people in campus compaired to when I went here last week

I walked to the room that I was assigned with and took a seat next to a girl that was playing on her 3ds, she noticed that I was staring and she smiled and spoke up

"Hi! I'm Lia" she brought put her and I gladly shook it

"I'm Skyler, but you can call me Sky" I said nicely

"You're American?" She spoke with a slight soft Irish accent

"Well I grew up in Hawaii and I speak Pidgin but yeah, I'm American. I can obviously see that you're Irish"

"That's what ya think, but I'm half British"

"Cool, so...what are you playing?" I pointed at the 3ds

"I'm playing Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of time! It's awesome" I smiled whilst watching as the people kept coming into the classroom

The teacher arrived, he was wearing a white polo with a plain old black tie. He looked like he r was in his mid-thirties but I couldn't really jump into conclusions

"Everybody sit down, I'm your professor. I'm Eddie Aiono but you can call me Mr.Ed or Eddie"

"I know that this class isn't that difficult but please, no slacking off. Our first activity is sort of what elementary students do, introduce yourselves." I heard some people groan

People started saying their full names and said some descriptions about themselves

I brownish-Grey haired guy spoke in a thick Irish accent "Sean McLoughlin, I'm a gamer and I'm the drummer of a band"

He looked familiar, I felt like I already heard his voice. It was almost my turn so I stood up

"I'm Skyler or Sky Kekoa and I'm obviously American but I'm originally from Hawaii" I smiled and sat back down

Lia said that she was into making DIY stuff. She seemed like a basic bitch but I don't think a basic bitch would be playing The Legend of Zelda and she was nice to me

After class, I walked alone by the hallway. I bumped into a group and I felt a pair of arms push me back up

"Woops! Watch where you're goin'!" A sweet voice said, it was Sean from my class

"Sorry! Sean was it?" I smiled

"Yeah, but you can call me Jack. These are my friends, Craig and Daithi!" I waved my hand and they smiled at me

"Nice to meet y'all. Am I being a cause of delay to where you're headed?" I asked nicely. "No not at all, we were just going to walk back home" Daithi mumbled

"Do you guys live near by?" I asked. Jack nodded and I spoke up again "I do too."

"We can walk with ya if you want" Jack smiled. "Would you really?? Thank you so much!" I patted Jack's back and we walked

Apparently, we lived in the same complex! "Do you guys want to come in?" I brought them inside my small apartment

"You play?" Jack held up the Mirrors Edge Catalyst. I nodded and smiled

"I'm assuming you met Lia" Craig asked me. "Yes! I sat next to her in class, she's awesome and friendly" he chuckled

"And that is my crazy beautiful girlfriend" he blushed. "Cool! I'll tell her that I met you"

We hung out in my apartment for about an hour until everybody started going back to their apartments

"I live next to you" Jack said, he was the only one left since he didnt have anything to do

"Any chance that you have a YouTube channel?" I asked

He nodded and snatched my phone from me and typed into YouTube. He had ten million subscribers! He mostly did gaming which is awesome since we can record something together

"Weird...your voice seemed familiar and I've never watched a video of yours" I said. "Probably from a brother?" I jumped up and pumped my fist up in the air

"My brother Jessie watches you! I got mad at him several times when he played your videos on blast!" He chuckled. "We could Skype your brother and surprise him!" He yelled and I grabbed my laptop and called his Skype

"Now is not a good time" my fourteen year old brother said

"You're going to thank me later, I have a surprise for you" I gave Jack the laptop and waved at the camera

"3...2...1..." I counted in my finger till my brother yelled loudly

"OH MY GOD JACKSEPTICEYE IS DATING MY SISTER! FIRST IT WAS-" I cut him off by staring at the camera with furrowed eyebrows, he realized what he was about to say and started talking again "we're not dating!" I nudged Jack because he kept laughing at my brother's reaction

"I'll take care of your sister for ya! She lives next to me, you can probably visit her and you can meet me!!!" Jack said happily

Sure...Jack was attractive but I wasn't ready to "like" a person because my boyfriend from back home just broke up with me
