Just You and Me, Love

Just Nadine

Chapter 1

Sweat is dripping from her head, she never thought moving would be this difficult and tiring. She has just unpacked the last box when she heard her roommate enter the room.

"Nadine, you've been in this room all day, you should go out, have some fun!" Yassi said with a cheerful tone

Yassi, her roommate is also a first year student, English major, she arrived in the dorm a day earlier than Nadine.

"Yes, mom" Nadine said jokingly

"and I would only arrange some things and decorate a bit then I'm done" Nadine added

"Yes! Does this mean that you'll come with me?" Yassi asked

"come to where?"

"there will be a party near the campus tonight, it's a great opportunity to meet new friends!" Yassi said, the excitement reflecting in her voice

"nahh, I'll pass" Nadine said

"Why, are you busy or something?" Yassi said clearly disappointed

"I'm just not into it" Nadine said while transferring her books to the shelf next to her bed

"someone's an introvert" Yassi said, trying to convince Nadine

"I am not! I'm just... I don't know, I'm not really good at socializing with other people" Nadine said

"You'll be fine, you're going with me and that's final" Yassi said as she walks to Nadine and puts away the books on Nadine's bed

"You can continue arranging your things tomorrow" Yassi said

Nadine shot Yassi a disapproving yet challenging look

"Don't look at me like that, I promise, you won't regret it" Yassi added

* 4 hours later*

"it's too crowded here!" Nadine said almost shouting

"Well duh Nadine, it's a party, of course lots of people will be here" Yassi said

Nadine is wearing black high waisted shorts and a creamy white crop top, which makes her uncomfortable, she thinks it's too short yet she wore it anyway

"Do I look fine to you?" Nadine said

Yassi rolled her eyes

"Are you seriously asking me that question? With legs like that, boys would be drooling as soon as they saw you" Yassi said

"I'm serious Yassi" Nadine said

"I am too, now stop looking so nervous and go talk to someone" Yassi said

"Yes...MOM" Nadine said as she smiles at her friend, it's really comforting knowing that Yassi's here, she's been in the campus for three days and so far she only has... one friend ha! What an achievement, she said to herself

After few minutes of walking past through the crowd, she finally found a chair to sit on, there will only two vacant chairs in sight and she feels so lucky for finding the last two ones just in time

So much for finding someone to talk to and there's no way she's going back to that crowd, she feel so squished and her feet hurt from walking so much. Yassi is nowhere to be found and she feels so awkward sitting here all alone

"hey" she heard a deep voice but she didn't bother to know where it came from, she's practically invisible right now, who would even talk to her

"hey, are you alone?" A guy with deep, almost soothing voice asked her, his Australian accent noticeable
