24 hours before.

The cool wind was blowing onto to my face as I sat here out in my balcony painting the sunrise of Amsterdam. The sky was blue but there was a dash of pink that went it's way to orange and then yellow in the end I saw the beautiful sunshine. Suddenly I see myself in an alternative universe, where there is nothing but the clouds and me. I'm walking on these clouds seeing what's before me and--

"ERIKA YOUR GOING TO BE LATE!!"

and back to reality I come.

"Uhh what Beth? Yeah okay I'm coming" I said softly as I lay down my paintbrush. I look back at the sunrise that was once there is now gone, I look at my painting and shrug my shoulders.. Hallucinations huh?

I grabbed my brown bag and tied up my hair.

"Were you thinking about Prince charming?" Elizabeth winked at me.

"I-- nooo!" I groaned as she patted my shoulder.

"It's okay" she giggled.

I don't even know why I picked rooms with this annoying little donkey. Elizabeth or beth as I like to call her is my dormate and we have been roomates for two years now. In those two years I feel like we have gotten really close she's like my sister but an annoying one.

Elizabeth is the typical British girl that moved to get her scholarship in music, she plays the double bass.
So that's how I met her, through collage and this will be my last year of school ti'll I get my arts scholarship. How exciting.

My classes usually start earlier then Elizabeth's so I go on my own. Our dorm is far away from our actual collage so there is this long pedestrian street I have to take to get there and well it's like this street is my home, I always go there.

I put my earplugs on and started listening to some calm relaxing music as I passed the different shops at the street. I looked around and saw children playing, a small smile krept on my face it all reminded me of when I was younger--

And whoops I bumped into a tall guys chest.

"I'm sorry" he said, but before I could apologize he was already gone. I saw his figure from the back he was wearing all black and a black cap..

Hmm something feels fishy about him when I bumped into him I felt as my blood got frozen and that smile that I had had immediately disappeared from the cold.

Oh well shouldn't think too much about It, I am paranoid though.. Ha-ha.

*Class bell.

"Shoot!" I whisper-yelled as I was taking out my books from my ginourmus folder but all my papers fell onto the ground. Ughhh.

"Need help" a familiar voice said as I was handed the papers.

My gaze went up and I caught sight of 'my prince charming' Eric. Isn't it odd how our names are so similar I think it's those love stories where everything's supposed to be as it is in fairltales.
