Camila's POV

Be late on my first day at college can happen only to me. The infamous Camila Cabello arriving late once again. I left my suitcases in the back of my car. Well, technically it's not mine, it's my dad's, but now I have it so I call it mine.

It was hard to park out here because of all the newcommers. I assumed everyone had to drive by a car today because of all the lougage they had with them. Although I'm from Miami I had to drive here and it was pretty long ride.

I checked if I didn't forget to lock the car door and hurried towards the school's main door. I was supposed to be in some group with the new students and someone should show us around, but when I entered no groups of freshman were in sight. Shit! What should I do now? Just don't panic, Camila.

"Are you lost?" Someone behind me asked. I turned around to face the girly voice. She is so petite and cute. I just noded and smiled. "Well, it something after ten so I guess you missed your group." She looked at her watch and then back at me. "Since you actually missed the last of them I'll gladly show you around, but I only have a half an hour. And I can only show you around here, the dorms are on the other side of the campus." So she obviously knows the place. I didn't think she might be older than me.

"You could do that for me? I wouldn't want to bother you." I really didn't want to take away her precious time, but I was really glad that she offered herself to be my savior.

"Oh, please. Don't be ridiculous. I wish I had someone to help me my first day here. I was so oblivious. By the way I'm Ally." I laughed sincerely and extended my right hand to introduce myself.

"I'm Camila, it's nice to meet you, Ally." I felt relieved when she told me she's gonna show me around. She really is a nice girl, who would've wanted to lose time to some stranger?

"Well, then follow me, Camila, we have a long tour ahead ourselves. It's a big school. I don't think we can make it in time. I have to attend this thing for seniors. Anyway.. after we end here you should probably go to the info office and they will give you your schedule et cetera. "

After the tour Ally dropped me off to the info office. I am so overwhelmed by the amount of informations and I haven't been here more than a half an hour. This day will be so exhausting. Ally and I exchanged phone numbers just in case I got lost or something and she agreed to meet me for a coffee after school. Normally I wouldn't ask, but she seems so kind and nice and it wouldn't be a bad thing to know someone around here.

I am kinda scared to go to the office. I wouldn't have to do this if I were more punctual and actually be here on time.

The lady in the office was luckily nice enoughto provide me all the information I needed to know. She told me that the dormsare on the other side of the campus and she also told me who my roommate wasand gave me a key. She showed me how I can get to my new school account where Ican find my schedule and to check my grades. Apparently they made one for everynew freshman, that must have take some time. Whereas the lady couldn't leave her office I had to gofind my dorm room by myself.


Once I entered the other building I took a couple of wrong turns and lostplenty of time. Obviously I wasn't the only one looking for dorm room thisplace is so overcrowded. I made my way to the end of the hall I was currentlyin and from the numbers on the doors I knew I'm close.

I looked at the doornumber 107 and above it was sticked small paper with my room mate's and minename written on it. Camila Cabello & Dinah Jane Hansen. I was about toenter the room when someone yelled at me: "Yo! Sorry, are you Camilla?" It's CamEEla. I corrected the screamingperson in my head.

"Yes, I am Camila why are you asking?" I looked at the girl she was reallypretty. It seems like everyone around here is attractive. I've been lookingaround and damn! Especially the girls are beautiful.

"I was supposed to be your room mate but there's been some changes cause youdidn't attend the tour with teachers. So you've been assigned elsewhere." Sheexplained the issue to me. And I was really getting annoyed by everything. If Ihad just arrived earlier I wouldn't have to deal with this shit.

"So where am I supposed to go then?" I snapped and immediately regretted it.She's not the one to blame for this.

"They said you should give me the key and go to the room number 363. You'llfind your other room mate there. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." I gave herthe key and went the other way. At least I know where I'm heading now I literallywalked pass all the door so hopefully there won't be any more problems.

The interior of the dorms is simple but simple is good. It looks decent andclean. Nothing too much extravagant. There were some couches here and thereoccupied by the students right now. According the numbers on the door I wasfinally here. I sighed with a relief I couldn't wait to finally settle in andget comfy. I knocked on the door but no one answered. I tried the handle but itwas locked.

I leaned agains the wall and let myself slide down to the floor. I don't carethere are still people going back and forth. I wouldn't normally just sprawledon the floor in a public place, but I was really pissed off. And I didn't feellike dealing with more shit today. So I just sat there god knows for how longwatching the stream of people slowly subside. My tummy growled. I should eatsomething.

Suddenly I felt someone sit beside me. I turned my head in their direction andI was met with the most beautiful creature in the world. First thing thatcaught my attention were her mesmerizing green eyes. I couldn't stop looking ather. Then my gaze lowered a little to her full lips and then I realized she'stalking to me.

"W-what?" I mumbled.

"I said: What is a pretty girl like you doing here on the floor?" She said withraspy voice. Did she just told me I am pretty?

"U-um, I'm waiting for someone." I said and averted my gaze from her face Idon't want her to think I am weird.

"Ok. How long you've been waiting for, pretty girl?" I tried to ignore the wayshe called me and studder some intelligent answer.

"I don't know." Was all I said. Wow, wayto go Cabello!

"Well, then let me end your suffering by letting you into our room,Camila." She said and mischievous grin sprawled all over her face. I wasconfused and i wanted to be angry at her but her smirk caused me to smile.

''Unbelievable."

"It's nice to meet you, Camila. I'm Lauren Jauregui, you're gonna love me." Shelaughed and opened the door for me. I entered the room and my eyes landed onthe huge painting on the wall. I got a feeling thats her work.
