The Other Girlfriend

Welcome to College

Harry’s POV

                “Come on, Harry!  Wake up, you bloke!  Orientation starts today!” Niall blares at me.  I struggle to get out of bed and look at my rooms.  Oh yeah, I’m in at Uni now. 

                “I’ll be ready in a minute.  How much time do we got til it begins?” I asked groggily.

                “We have awhile.  I think my internal clock’s messed up.” Niall jokes.  It has been a pain adjusting to the time here at Arkansas after coming from the UK.  Louis has been going nonstop about how cool this Uni is, so I hope it’s worth the change.  I change clothes and brush my teeth.  I don’t really care how I look.  It’s only orientation.  It’s just freshmen who are here.

                As soon I leave the sink, Liam and Zayn burst forth from the other side of the bathroom.  All four of us share a two room suite with a bathroom.  It’s quite nice actually.  I’m glad we’re able to come as a group.  “You guys ready to meet cute American girls?” Liam chuckles.

                “You’re looking for them already?” I joke.

                “I mean I did hear this Uni has a reputation for having way more girls than boys.” Liam winked mischievously.  “Seriously, are you ready to start Uni?”

                “You bet.”

                 “I wish Louis could be here to experience our first days with us.” Niall sighed.

                “I’m sure he’s more than ok.  He’s over at that state Uni with his girlfriend and mine.” Zayn emphasized the word mine.  “What I would give to be there right now.”

                “Cheer up, mate.  You have us!” I encouraged.  We all finish getting ready and we step out to go to our first planned event.

Jenny’s POV

                Today’s the big day.  I start college!  I wake up way before my new roommate does and I start getting ready for the day.  I want to have plenty of time to get ready because I want to get make a great first impression on all the cute guys here from all over the world.  I’ve been in this area all my life so I have looked forward to this day for a long time.

                I put my headphones in my phone and listen to tunes while I get ready.  Finally, my roommate straddles out of bed.  I still don’t know her name.  I let the college pick my roommate hoping for the best, but I can already tell we are quite different.  I’m tall, blonde and have blue eyes while she is tan, brunette, and if you ask me drop dead gorgeous.  I feel very ordinary next to her and I try to be polite and get out of the way while she gets ready.

                We finish getting ready without a word to each other until she asks, “Where’s our first event?”

                “Oh, it’s at the auditorium.  I can walk over there with you if you want.”  She shrugs and resumes putting on makeup.  While we are still in the bathroom, one of our suitemates came out to use the toilet.  She’s very short and has strawberry blonde hair.  Her brown eyes watch us nervously as she starts getting ready.

                I slip on my sandals and proceed to head out the door until my roommate calls for me.  I pause and we head out of the room together.  After we walk out of the room, I ask, “What’s your name?  I don’t think we’ve introduced each other yet even though we’ve slept in the same room for a day or two.”
