Somewhere In Ireland

Chapter Three

•Chapter Three

Allison's POV

A beautiful blonde had been in sight right in front of me. She was absolutely gorgeous her eyes are crystal blue. "Hello, you must be Allison. I'm your roommate, Blake!" she proposed me with taking me in for a hug.

"I will let you two be, Blake you can give her a tour and explain to her the rules." the dorm advisor mentions and starts down the hallway.

"Let me help you with your baggage!" Blake commands heading towards my bags to pick them up. She got a hold of them and walked into the room. I followed right behind her. She laid them down on what looks like my bed. The dorms look a lot smaller than they did in the pictures.

"Thank you" I praise my new roommate.

"Oh, no problem! I'm so excited to finally get a new roommate. Last year was a horrible experience for me, long story!" she told me.

"Well I hope I won't be a bothersome to you, I'm excited just to be away from home, kind of." I informed her.

"Well I'm from Mullingar, it's about an hour away from here, I mostly stay here during the weekends but I tend to drive home and visit sometimes too. You can join along anytime, I'm sure my family would be excited to meet you!" Blake offers.

"Well I think I might just take you up on that offer, because I obviously can't drive home, I'd have to sit on an airline for ten hours. Which is probably the most uncomfortable thing I've ever done." she gave off a little laughter at my comment on going home.

"Where in America do you live?" she asks curious.

"I'm from a small town in Alabama, it's down South." I explained.

"I know where Alabama is, I learned about the states in geography years ago. I've always wanted to take a trip there, it seems wonderful!" she praises.

"I couldn't agree more, but I think that Ireland seems more wonderful, from what I've seen so far." I back up.

"Well I'll show you around soon, and you can see more of it. How about that?" she questioned.

I'm starving, I haven't eaten in forever and I really need to. Would it be to much to ask if we could eat first?

"Yes, that would wonderful, but would you mind if we could get something to eat. I literally haven't eaten anything since about five o'clock this morning. In American time, I'm going to have to get used to this big of a time change." I get out of me.

"Of course, we can go to the food court here on campus, or I can drive somewhere that sounds good it's up to you." she suggested with a light smile.

I don't know of anything here, I mean is the food the same or different. Do they have the same restraunts as America? "I don't know what's here, you can pick somewhere to eat. I think I can trust you on picking something good." I sarcastically admit.

"Hmmh... I know where we can go, grab your coat!" she exclaims.

After I put my jacket on she pulls me out of the dorm and grabs ahold of what I'm guessing are her car keys. We head back down the hall that I entered in about half an hour ago and through the swirly rotating doors. "Have a nice night ladies!" comes from a person who is sitting in the lobby on a couch.

"Wow." is all I can mumble under my breath after taking in the sight of her car. "Is this seriously yours?" asking legitimately.

"Yes, it is. But don't think like that, I got a full ride scholarship here and just used some of my college savings to buy this beaut." she honestly comes out with. I can see people probably giving her a whole bunch of crap for her car. It is literally a bland white 2015 Camaro, those cars are so expensive.

"Looks like I might have to use some of my college savings for a car." I joke.

"Get in." she giggles. She starts her car and we take off towards the campus exit. The only thing I feel the need to do is examine my surroundings that will be visible to me for a long time. There's very little talk over the music playing, but it's not like it's an awkward silence when not speaking to one another.

Blake pulls into an entrance to a restraunt called JP's Steak House. It took about ten minutes to arrive, so it wasn't a bad drive what so ever.

After we get out of the car we make our way to the door where a very nice gentleman opened the door for us and welcomed us. We were seated instantly when we walked in. I asked the waitress for a water which turned out to be really good when squeezing lemon into it. Blake convinced me to try it since she enjoys the taste.

Not to long after the waitress taking our orders, the food was ready. I ended up getting steak bites with fries and a baked potato on the side. It smells delicious. I'm not sure if I'm ready to try anything yet, I'll give it some time before I try new things. But the first bite I taste is wonderful.

Most of our dinner involves small talk about what we're majoring in, families, home. Mainly about the college life, I've learned there's a lot of things I need to stay away from and things I need to surround myself around. One of those surroundings being the lounge in our dorm hall.

The dinner is finished off with a couple of side conversations. Blake makes me come to compromise with her paying for the dinner. The next time we eat out together I'm paying the bill though.

The car ride lasts ten minutes just like it did earlier. I didn't realize hours have past so quickly, by the time we get back to the dorm room it's already ten after eleven.

Blake seems tired so I let her go on her own and get to bed. As for me I make the process to unpack some of my belongings and put them where there need to be. I then place the sheets to my bed and decide its time for me to sleep.

I grab my pj's that I just placed inside my side dresser and slipped on a lose tshirt and a pair of black leggings. Along with throwing my hair up into a lose ponytail.

I slipped underneath the covers and then reached over to turn the last light on in the room which my bedside lamp. I finally got myself into a comfortable position that I could fall asleep in.

Before I could fall asleep I had to think about how my day has been so far. I wonder what my parents have done today and I really need to call them in the morning, I feel like me and Blake are going to become close friends she seems wonderful. I doze off in my thoughts and end up in sleeping mode before I could remember anything else throughout my first day here.

sorry for the wait of an update, I've been really busy lately but I will try to update as soon as I can! Enjoy!!
