Everything around her was chaotic, though this was to be expected on the first day of students moving in, It was Friday which was the official start of the "Freshers week". The halls were filled with students, some of whom had already began socialising, trying to make friends as soon as possible. Though there was those who were too busy looking for their dorms or new roommates to even stop to say hi. And then there was the handful of people who preferred to hide behind their boxes and keep to the side lines, just to avoid any kind of communication.

I stood there, staring at the hallway in awe, there was so many people and I didn't have a clue with what to do with myself. Another minute passed and I finally decided to try to talk to some people, grabbing my bags I began to walk towards a group of girls that looked friendly enough. Before I even had to chance to say anything I heard someone shout "Move!" from behind me, on instinct I quickly jumped to the side and watched as a guy ran down the hallway pushing a another guy on what looked like a suitcase. Everyone watched them in annoyance, some guys even began making their way towards them after the two crashed on a corner and began rolling around on the floor unable to control their laughter, they quickly recovered and decided to run from the group of boys who were now shouting at them as one of their friends had been knocked over by the pair.

I sighed, this is going to be an eventful day.., I decided to give up on socialising and to go find my dorm room instead. After half hour of looking around I finally realised my dorm was in a different building, this one was smaller than the one previous but still fairly large. I found my room on the second floor and opened it with my key. There was about 10 rooms on both floors and they were shared between two people, though I hadn't seen anyone in the hallways.

Looks like my roommate already unpacked, I thought to myself while looking at their side of the room. It was clean, neat and nicely laid out, everything looked as though it was placed perfectly.

I began unpacking my stuff, I didn't bring much, just what I know I needed and some small sentimental bits and bobs. There was a single bed, desk and a set of drawers on both sides of the room, everything had been mirrored precisely.

It took me around two hours to unpack everything, leaving me feeling worn out and tired. I collapsed onto my bed and looked at the time, the clock flashed 13:18. My belly rumbled and I only now just realised how hungry I was, Guess I should head to the canteen.

I grabbed my backpack and was about to leave when the door opened and a tall brown haired girl walked in. She had her hair up in pig tails and wore a thick wool, pink dress with a small backpack on her back.      

After looking me over the girl said, with a smile, "Hi, my name's Diane. You're my roommate right?"

"Yea... I'm Elizabeth Liones, It's nice to meet you." I replied, trying to sound confident.

"You too, was you about to head out?" Diane said, moving away from the door.

"Yea, I was going to go to the canteen."

"Cool, I'll see you later then." She waved as I walked into the hall way and returned the gesture.

Closing the door behind me I smiled and began walking to the canteen.

Thankfully it was quiet despite the time and only a few people were sitting down and eating. I grabbed some food and sat down on a table on my own, I've always preferred sitting on my own so I wasn't bothered by it. I turned on my phone to see a message from my sisters:
