Peter's POV
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!
That alarm clock is something I'm not ever going to get used to in the time I stay here. Hey my names Peter Michaels and I've just enrolled to one of the most famous colleges available in London. Delight College. No one knows why it's named that just that it's a weird name for a college.
"Peter, do you seriously want to be late for your first lesson? Like seriously, she will eat us."
That was my roommate, Cindy. Yeah, this college had girls and boys sharing dorms. In each dorm, there was space for two girls and for two boys. Also, each room had its own bathroom. It was actually a delightful college. It even had entertainment centres and all that, including a large swimming pool. My other roommates hadn't come yet, don't know why.
"Okay mum, I'm getting up."
She hated when I called her mum. It annoyed her so much, it made me laugh. I called her mum because she would always tell me what to do. Eat this; it's good for you, wear that, it looks good on you. She was, this might sound gay, but she was my BFFL.

We walked into our first class. It was Biology and I knew I was going to hate this class for the rest of the year, so I wasn't in a positive mood anyway. Then I felt weight on my back and found myself sprawling down towards the ground. I went down so fast; I didn't even have time to stretch my hands out so that they would support my weight. I could feel some type of liquid on my face, and I instantly knew I was bleeding.
"Oh My God! I am so, so sorry. Oh no, I've caused your nose to bleed. I feel so awful."
She looked like she was going to cry. I decided I didn't want to see that. It would just make her look more hideous, she was ugly enough anyway. She didn't have anything nice about her. Her eyes were a boring brown, her hair was all frizzy and ugly, and her body clearly didn't know what puberty meant. Actually, it seemed to me she was even overweight a little bit.
"It's alright; I'll just go and wash it. It'll stop soon anyway."
The teacher came in then, saw I was bleeding and instantly told me to go to the nurse. Great, my negative mood was now a shitty mood. This was the best way to start college. Just the greatest!
Belles POV
I was so late for school. Just like every other time, my dad hadn't kept his promise. He had gone out with his friends and come home late in the morning. I didn't get it. Why couldn't he just do something for me for once? I hated him; he wasn't my father, even if I was his daughter biologically.
As I entered the class, my top got stuck on the door handle. I didn't get it. Why was today such a bad day? I tried to pull my jumper, and I ended up going flying backwards until I hit something. I heard someone fall hard onto the ground with a thud. I turned around to see a boy, sprawled on the floor, with blood around his head. I instantly didn't know what to do.
"Oh My God! I am so, so sorry. Oh no, I've caused your nose to bleed. I feel so awful."
I apologised to him, and he obviously didn't accept it. Maybe he was stuck up. He looked awfully rich and was handsome as well. He had an Asian look to him. He had a long fringe that was kept straight and fell over his eyes. His hair was tied into a tiny ponytail at the back. His eyes were a jade green, and he had a goatee as well.
"It's alright; I'll just go and wash it. It'll stop soon anyway."
I stepped aside and watched him leave. I had so started off my first day at college on the wrong foot. I decided I would just let this incident go and try to start my day all over again. He wasn't worth being upset over.

I hadn't been to my dorm yet, and I didn't know who I was sharing with. All I hoped was that they were nice people. I was at this school on scholarship, so I didn't have many clothes, nor was I seriously that organised or well brought up.
As I entered room 34, I realised that it was deserted but that my roommates had already been in here and chosen their beds. I realised the only beds left were the ones near the window. I didn't mind that, I liked windows. I loved how you could look out of one, and somehow enter another world.
As I slowly walked over to the bed, carrying my only suitcase to it, I heard the door open behind me.
"Hi, my names Ross. Oh damn it. I never liked sleeping next to windows. The birds are always there chirping away, waking me up early in the morning even on weekends. Huh, sorry, I talk too much."
He looked down shyly, clearly nervous to be in the same room as me.
"It's okay. My names Belle and I'll take the bed closer to the window if you like? I enjoy hearing the birds sing, and being able to watch the sun set."
He looked at me for a while, then smiled and nodded his head. He slowly carried his bags to his closet and started unpacking his neatly folded clothes. He was a hot boy. He had nice brown eyes, and was clearly Malaysian or something. He had that sort of tan. His body was built too. I was sure he had abs beneath that decent shirt he was wearing. Then again, he wasn't my type.
I turned around and slowly unpacked my things. I realised how less clothes I had when I looked into the cupboard of the girl I was going to be sharing with.
Then I heard two people talking excitedly.
"I've decided to try out for the play, Romeo and Juliet. It sounds exciting, and I really would like to be able to show my skills off."
"Okay I got it. Now shush, I've heard about this too much."
As the two people entered the room, my mouth dropped open in shock. I had thought my day was slowly improving. Now I was sure I was wrong.
