ONE CHANCE

Chapter 2

After collecting my timetable from the office, I go straight back to my dorm, avoiding the 3 rebels I made eye contact with, moments before.

I quickly open my dorm door and shut it close. I sigh and turn around.

"You have got to be kidding me" I mumble under my breath. The last person I would want as my room mate stands before me.

The pink-haired girl with her tattoos and piercings is my roommate or maybe she is just visiting...wait why would she visit my dorm?

"Oh, the new girl" She says slyly. I give her a weak smile. She knows she has the power over me, she can sense how much I fear her. I'm pretty much shaking like a Chihuahua.

"No need to fear me sweetheart, I won't bite" She winks and takes a step closer to me, "I'm Amy and apparently your room mate" she chuckles as she holds her hand out for me to shake.

I'm a bit taken back by her niceness, so far it seems behind all the tattoos, piercings, pink hair and lips she is a nice person. I place my hand in hers and we shake.

"I'm Cecilia" I introduce myself, trying to be confident but I'm failing terribly.

"So you coming to the party tonight?" She asks me as she resumes back to straightening her hair.

"I don't do parties." I say. She turns away from the mirror to look at me. She raises an eyebrow and soon after, rolls her eyes at me.

"Why?"

"I am here to study Pathology and do well, partying is the last thing on my mind."

"Wow, I just met you and you're already annoying me." She says rudely. And there goes the niceness. I breathe in deeply with irritation. I don't bother saying anything back as I know I would be wasting my time.

The next 10 minutes are spent in silence as I continue to unpack my things and Amy dresses herself up in probably the sluttiest clothes..okay well they aren't that slutty, she is covering herself up but in my eyes she is a slut and a bitch...a rude bitch.

While I am neatly placing books on a shelf, the door opens and 2 boys barge in.

"Babe, I am not letting you out of my sight tonight" The curly haired boy says as he eyes Amy up and down and hugs her from behind. Yep, they are definitely dating well I think so.

"Aw" She cooes and kisses him passionately. Yep, definitely dating.

"And this must be your new roommate, I'm Harry" he greets as he holds his hand out to me to shake. I shake it quickly.

"Cecilia" I say bluntly.

"Someone's feisty," The other boy that is sitting on Amy's bed says, "I like them feisty."

"Bryce, she's too innocent for you" Amy jokes. Seriously?

"No girl is too innocent" Bryce replies.

"Oh you have no idea about this one then." Amy laughs.

"Anyways you coming to the party tonight?" Harry asks me. I sigh and I hear Amy burst into laughter. Harry giggles at his girlfriend while I eye her off for laughing.

"No." I reply.

"She's got to study" Amy adds as she tries to hold back chuckles.

"Pft, college work hasn't started yet so there is no need for studying" Bryce says, standing up from the bed.

"I don't need to study, parties just aren't my scene" I reply.

"Boring" Harry and Bryce chorus together and all 3 burst into laughter. They are really getting on my nerves.

"Well sweetheart, we'll be on our way, you know where to find us if you wanna fit in" She laughs and walks out hand in hand with Harry, Bryce looping his arm around her free one.

Fit in? Pft, I don't need to fit in. I'm here for study and that's it.
