When Taylor Swift walks into the bathroom on the third floor of the central library at New York University the last thing that she expected to happen was that she would leave after making a friend in local New York University college student Karlie Kloss.

Taylor's P.O.V

It was a warm morning, so warm that today I decided to walk to campus and explore the place that I will be calling home for the next four years. Today I'm supposed to go to the main reception building so that I can get the tour that I missed last week due to my mom being at an oncology appointment. Walking into the reception area I meet a receptionist by the name of Lisa, she directs me to visit the third floor of the central library to see a woman, Cara who will call for someone to show me around the campus. I nod and head off but before I can get to the help desk on the third floor I decide to head to the bathroom.

Walking in I look at the long stall of toilets on offer and I see that out of the eight possible stalls, the first one is taken which I had heard is usually the cleanest stall, and then the fourth and fifth ones are also taken leaving me the option of two, three, six, seven or eight. Looking around I stalk towards stall number six and walk in, sitting down and starting to do my business but as soon as I head someone walk into stall number seven I start to feel a little nervous. The only reason for my nervousness is that as soon as the stalls start to empty except for the one next to me I realise that I don't have any toilet paper in my stall. 'Shit! Literally.' I think as I look around and then reach for my handbag next to my feet. I quickly look through it and see that I have no tissues available and I realise that I must have used the last one when I was sick a few weeks ago and I've never replaced it. 'God, what do I do now?' I think and all of a sudden I realise that I have someone in the stall next to me, so I can either ask for some toilet paper or I can cause an unfortunate accident in my pants, and I'm wearing white jeans too.

Gaining the courage I knock on the door and say, "uhm excuse me, can you pass me some toilet paper...I seem to be out," I stammer, embarrassed about it.
"Sure, here you go." The voice next door states handing a large handful under the door to my hand. I take it gratefully and then the voice says, "let me know if you need more..." I laugh a little and the other voice joins in. It does sound funny to me that I'm laughing about borrowing toilet paper. "I think I'm fine, thanks anyway..." I state as I finish wiping myself and then I stand and after doing up my jeans and flushing the toilet I say a quick thank you before emerging and heading towards the sink.

Almost as soon as I walk out of the stall, the woman next to me who gave me the paper also emerged from her stall, walking until she stands next to me she starts to wash her hands. I watch from the corner of her eye as she thoroughly soaps them up and then she washes them. I see her look at me and I blush because I was caught looking at someone, "sorry..." I mutter returning to my own hands but the woman next to me simply laughs. "Don't worry about it. I'm used to the stares," I turn and face her while still shaking the excess water from my hands but I don't say anything. As she goes to walk out I quickly say, "Taylor Swift," she pauses and I repeat, "Taylor Swift, that's my name. I only thought I should tell you so that at least you know my name if you repeat the story." She smiles at me and nods, "Karlie Kloss, the good Samaritan who helped you out." I reach out my hand and offer it and she takes it. Quickly we shake hands and then she shocks me by pulling out her phone and saying, "put your number in," which I quickly do and we laugh and leave the bathroom.

I watch as Karlie walks away towards the help desk and I watch as she stops to talk to the person on the desk before she walks away quickly and I approach the desk and say, "hi I'm Taylor I was sent here by Lisa to talk about someone giving me a tour of the campus." I state as the woman looks up,  "Yeah I can organise that for sure..." I nod but she continues and then holds her hand out. "The name's Cara." I take the outstretched hand and shake it as Cara picks up her phone and calls someone. "Hey it's me, yup there's another person here for a campus tour and you're the only one here. Okay see you in a few." I watch Cara as she hangs up and pulls out a NYU bag and a map, "so the tour person, whatever you want to call her will be here soon." I nod and look at my phone but before I can do much more than take the map from Cara someone stops next to me. "Wow, we meet again huh Taylor, or are you just keen for us to keep talking beyond the bathroom?" I smile at the voice and turn, "Karlie, you're the guide?" I question as she nods and Cara quickly hands her a clipboard and me my NYU bag. I smile and we start to walk off as Karlie starts to point out certain things around campus I smile and I realise that we could potentially become good friends and I look forward to the possibility.
