Arianna's POV

It took a while to find my dorm. I opened the door. "Uhm. Hi. You must be my roommate." I said.

She turned to look at me. She flashed me a smile with dimples and said, "Yup. I'm Jerica. You must be Arianna." I nodded. "Well, what course are you here for?"

"I'm here for a scholarship in writing." I said. (A/N: Again, I don't know anything about college. I'm making up my own stuff.)

"Really?! That rarely happens here!" she said, eyes wide. "What did you do for them to give you a scholarship?"

"Well, they read one of my stories and decided to speed up the process of me being a professional writer." I said.

"Wow. You know, I know someone who's just like you. He was the first student who ever received a scholarship for writing. Wanna meet him?" she asked.

"I guess." I said shyly.

"Don't worry. He's nice....at times." she said.

I laughed. "Okay."

She pulled out her phone and started typing. After a few seconds, she got a reply. She looked up. "Let's go. They're downstairs."

We went downstairs and I saw 3 guys. "Ooohh.. Who's that girl with you?" ask one of them. All of them were hot, but only one stood out.

"Shut up, Mikey." Jerica said. "Introduce yourself!"

Mikey stepped forward. "Hi. I'm Michael, but you can call me Mikey." he said, slinging an arm around my shoulder. 

I picked his hand up and dropped it from my shoulders. "Sorry. I have a boyfriend, so I would love for you to give me some of my personal space."

"Aye."

"I'm Adrian. Sorry about that dumbass." one of them said. He had green eyes and long lashes. He flashed me a friendly smile, dimples showing on each side of his cheeks. I smiled back. He looked like the responsible and friendly one out of all of them. Mikey was, of course, the flirt.

"I'm Nico. You're the new writing scholar, right?" the last and the hottest one asked.

"Yup. I'm Arianna. Nice to meet you guys. You're the one that she was talking about? The first to get the scholarship?" I asked Nico. He nodded.

"You're a writing scholar?!" Mikey asked. I nodded. "Holy shit. You must be really smart. This school is no joke when it comes to the writing department." 

I looked at the floor. "Well, if you put it like that."

"You guys wanna go to Starbucks? I'm craving for some cappucino." Jerica said.

"Yeah. I want some too." I said. I turned to the guys. "You guys coming?"

"Sure." they said.

We walked to Starbucks which was just about a few blocks away from the dorm. 

"Hey. Wanna talk?" a voice said from behind me. Nico.

"Uhm. What about?" I asked.

"Well, anything. I wanna get to know you. Where are you from?"

"Los Angeles. You?"

"San Diego."

"Oh. Neighbors." I said. He smiled. We talked about each other for a while. 

"Where's your boyfriend?" he asked.

A pang of sadness went through me for a while. I looked at my feet for a few moments, stopping the tears that are threatening to spill. "You don't have to tell me." Nico said, sensing my mood change.

"No. It's fine. He's in France." I said, giving him a fake smile.

"Ah. Long distance?"

"Uh huh. But I don't even know if we're still together. I didn't have the chance to say bye to him cus he didn't let me take him to the airport. He wrote me a letter saying he'll come back for me." I said.

"What the hell? Are you serious? The exact same thing happened to me!" he said, surprised.

"Really?"

"Yup. She left me, didn't even say goodbye, wrote me a letter, and she's in France too!" he said.

"Damn. Can I call you best friend now?" I asked.

He smiled. "Of course!"
