'This is it!' I think to myself. Last year of my university and then I will finally be able to pursue my dream of being a chemical engineer at IC Resources.
As I walk through the corridors of my dorm house, I think back to the previous years of my life. I had always known what I wanted in my life. I planned it all and I worked really hard for it. I was always on top of my class throughout my school life and graduated high school with a near perfect score. I wasn't necessarily 'the nerd', I was just smart.
I got into the college I dreamt about, one of London's top universities, Imperial College London and currently in the last year of my MEng Honours degree.
I remember being so ecstatic about starting this new chapter of my life and so was my family which included my beautiful mother, Anne. My amazing sister, Gemma and the best stepfather anyone could ask for, Robin. My biological dad, Desmond wasn't really in the picture apart from the occasional gifts and cards, but I don't mind. My parents splitting was a mutual decision. They said they fell out of love which is quite perplexing for me. I've never been in love but I love the idea of being in love and that's that.
I reach the university which is only a few minutes of walking and begin to approach the council office for my year planer. I have had the same classes for 3 years but this year I'll be joining in for 6 months paid work placement to enhance my practical skills and employability. To say I was excited was an understatement.
I smile as I greet the old lady at the front desk, "Morning Miss Teasdale"
"Harry! How are you, my child?"
"I'm good, how are you?"
"Fantastic! Now that I've seen your pretty face" she teased."I presume you're here for your yearly plan"
"Yup"
"Give me a minute, I'll just be back," she says as she turns around to the computer room with all the student's records.
I shift my weight one leg to another looking around as I hear a familiar voice call out my name. I turn around to see one my favourite humans to walk this planet, sprinting towards me.
"HARRY!!"
"ZAYN!!!" I yell back as I'm engulfed in a hug.

"I missed you so much," he says as he pulls back.
"I missed you too z" but as I'm about to ask him about his trip back home, Ms.T comes back with a copy of my planner.
"Oh good morning Zayn!"
"Morning Ms.T. How was your break?"
"Same old same old, council jobs suck". Zayn and I chuckle at that. "would you like me to go grab your planner as well?"
"Yes, please"
As she leaves, Zayn turns and pulls me into another embrace. "How have you been? Its only been three weeks but it feels like I haven't seen you in forever"
