Safe Haven

chapter 1

Abigail---

Two hours and I've finally unpacked.  Who knew it could take so long to unpack so little. Orientation is still going on for the next 45 Minutes. Maybe that's why I still haven't met my roommate yet, or Maybe I got lucky and won't have one.

With nothing else to do I plug in my head phones and turn on a blink 182 album and began flipping throw my welcome packet. A map of the campus, class schedule, different places that deliver to the dorms. Honestly, nothing to interesting. Im shoving everything back in the envelope when the door opens.

This must be my roommate. She's tall, skinny, long  purple hair, and totally saying something I can't hear over my headphones. I throw my headphones off. "I'm sorry I didn't hear any of that."

"Not to worry. I'm crystal your roommate." She holds her hand out to me and I shake it then fall back against the wall. "So what are you wearing tonight?"

I give her a weird look as she shoves everything under her bed and throws what won't fit into the corner. "Im Abigail. What am I wearing To what?"

"The zeta party. Don't worry if you didn't get invited you can come with me." Crystal

"Oh Im not much of a party kinda girl." Abigail

"You have to come my boyfriend's band swallow the gold fish is playing." Crystal

"Thank you for the offer but. I actually have a job interview and stuff tonight." Abigail

"Suit yourself." She pulled out a bag she had just stuffed under her bed and started throwing cloths everywhere. "Hopefully they're still some hot water left."

And with that she was gone. It's was clear we weren't going to get along every well. She was a loud messy party girl. And well me, I was quit and so organized some would call it OCD.

I lay in my bed listing to music looking over the same piece of paper as she came back and began putting on makeup and doing her hair.

"Which top do you think looks better on me. This green on or this sliver one." Crystal

I honestly thought other than the color they looked the exact same. "Go with the sliver it goes really nice with your hair."

"That totally what I was thinking." Crystal

"Hey Crystal" I jumped down from my bunk and sit on the floor across from her. "Could I maybe use some of your makeup. I wanna look nice for my interview."

"You didn't bring makeup with you?" Crystal

"I don't own makeup I would always just barrow my sisters for picture day." Abigail

"Well let me change your life." Crystal

We sat on the floor for an hour as she put a bunch of different stuff on me. She made sure to explained what each one was and what it did but I wasn't really sure what she was talking about.

"There." Crystal handed me a mirror and I wasn't even sure who I was looking at.

"Thank you." Abigail

"You can use it anytime you'd like. My boyfriend is always telling me I need to stop using so much makeup that I look fine without it."crystal

"Awe he sounds sweet." Abigail

"He is and he's a total hottie. Here." Crystal grab her phone and handed it to me. "This is mikey. He's literally the best guy in the world. "

"Loving the red hair. What's the odds he has a twin brother." I laughed
