I was running later, really late. I gathered my hair into a messy bun and grabbed my bag from Tom's bed, hoping it would have everything I needed in it, and that I hadn't forgot anything.
"Breakfast?" Tom asked me as I ran down the stairs.
"I haven't got time to breathe right now let alone have breakfast" I smiled sympathetically as I ran around like a headless chicken trying to find my converse.
"Their next to the sofa" Tom laughed as he knew what I'd be looking for.
"Thankyou!" I squealed in relief, I kissed him on his cheek quickly before rushing out the door. My first official day at university and I was late, what a great impression I was going to make.
The day hadn't been as bad as I expected, there were a lot of girls on this fashion course so I kind of mingled into the back of the que, hiding the fact that I was late. The first few hours we basically had to introduce ourselves and take part in group activities to encourage us to make friends, not that it was any good, all the girls were pretty snobby and they were complete opposites from me. I knew it was a fashion degree but we got graded on our fashion designs, not our fashion sense. They were all so dressed up, in towering heels and designer clothes, I was wearing skinny jeans, converse, and just a loose top. I smirked to myself wondering how long they could carry on dressing so good when we would be piled with work and stress. I eat dinner on my own but Tom...and Nathan were texting me asking me how it was going so I didn't feel like such a loner. Before I knew it dinner was over and I was trying to find my next room. Why did this place have to be so huge, I couldn't even find the toilets let alone where I was supposed to be. I'd set off ten minutes early to give myself plenty of time, and to avoid a panic like this morning. I ran up the stairs that said they were heading to the floor I required and placed my bag back on my shoulder as it fell off. It was such a hot day outside and I was running up flights of stairs, good choice Maddie.
"You're at the right room" A girl smiled at me knowingly as I tried to catch my breath.
"502?" I asked curiously, how did she know what room I wanted.
"Yeah, I recognise you from this morning..." She explained awkwardly. I nodded my head in acknowledgement and sat down in the corridor we were in, she appeared to be just as awkward as me but she was the friendliest person I'd met so far and I didn't want to spend another dinner alone, so I decided to overcome my shyness.
"Thanks, I've been running around like a maniac, I'm Maddie by the way" I said shyly.
"I'm Kaya" she replies moving closer to me, I sigh happily that the awkward feeling was slowly going away, and for the first time in the day I begin to relax.
"You seem pretty...normal compared to the rest of the girls here" She laughed, something we had in common, not liking the other girls on our course.
"Christ on a bike, they're ridiculous, how can they walk in them heels?" I giggled in astonishment. She laughed loudly, more than I had expected, I soon realised she was laughing at something else.
"What?" I asked in confusion at her humour.
"Oh nothing, don't mind me, it's just, I love a band called The Wanted, and one member always says that" She explained, getting embarrassed at her boyband love.
"It's Jay isn't it" I laughed to let her know I wasn't judging her. I didn't want to reveal that I lived with them incase she tried to use me to get to know them, Tom was always telling me to be careful of people and I'd only just met this girl. She was one of those nice fans though, not the crazed fans who want to kill me because I live with them.
"You're a fan too? I think we could be good friends" she laughs as she sits down next to me.
"I kinda live with them, Tom's my bestfriend" I explain watching her face as she recognises me from the boys twitter.
"Oh my god, yes! I know you, you're the one getting all the death threats because you're friends with Tom, I knew I recognised you this morning!" She squeals in excitement and claps her hand in a amusing manner.
"Sssh, I dont want any of these other girls to hear" I giggled. We spend the whole lesson just getting to know each other, were both grateful for the friendship, and we ignore the sly looks we get off the other girls when we share a joke. Her humour was just like Jay's, infact, she was the female Jay.
"Good day babe?" Tom asks me as I place my bag next to the door, just incase I'm late again in the morning.
"Well, it was awful to begin with, but then I got speaking to a girl named Kaya, she's a fan actually" I wink at him, they seriously love their fans so much.
"Maddie, what did you do that for, she could be using you!" Tom sighs as he pulls me into a hug.
"No she isn't like that, besides we got talking before she knew about me living with the lot of you" I smile reasuringly trying to prove her innocence, it was important that they got on, especially because I was going to give her a suprise, she'd told me it was her birthday the following day and I wanted to introduce her to five boys who would make her birthday unforgettable.
"Well, just be cautious okay" He warns me, but I can see in his eyes that he trusts my judgement instantly.
"Go upstairs, I've ran you a bubble bath" Tom smiles ushering me upstairs.
"I love you Thomas Anthony Parker, I really do" I laugh in a dramatic fashion as I run upstairs excitedly, just what I need after a long day.
"Mads, how was your first day?" Nathan stops me just as I go in to the bathroom.
"Well I was a loner, and then I was still a loner, and then I made friends with a girl called Kaya and we were both loners together" I explain quickly so I can get in this bath already.
"You're going to be a loner in that bath" Nathan smirks as he peers around the door.
"Yes..." I trail off unsure of where this is going.
"Sure I cant join you?" Nathan winks, his lips trembling dangerously close to mine again.
"No" I smirk as I shut the door on his shocked face. I laugh at his expression but then when I'm in the bath I think of nothing else but him. Since he'd tried to kiss me a couple of days ago things had been pretty awkward, now he was back to his usual flirtascious self and I wasn't sure I could control myself for much longer. Why did he have to be so god damn beautiful?
