It's been 3 weeks since I registered for Dan's Design School and not much has happened. Jonny's either been out a lot or has just been in his room, Scott says to forget about it as it's just a faze that he's going through and he'll get out of it soon.  So all I've been doing is studying and working on my design skills, as well as English and maths. I'm just going to keep studying before I go to the school, so I'm up to date with everything. Scott bought me some books on designing so I've been reading those a lot. They are quite interesting. Some are biographies on famous designers, some are how to design and others are just simply about designing.

It's the night before I go to the school and I must admit I'm pretty nervous. Scott helped me pack all my stuff, but yet again Jonny stayed in his room all day. I miss hearing his voice and laugh all the time, I ask Scott again what's wrong but keeps saying it's a faze and that he will get out of it.
All my belongings are packed and I'm already for tomorrow. My heart is beating a million times an hour and I just hope everything goes as planned.
I got sent a timetable of what my classes will be like; I have a few spares which is good because I can study in this time. There was also a school diary and a map of the school so I don't get lost.

It's the morning of my leaving day, Scott helped me pack the car with all my things, and luckily there wasn't much so it will be pretty easy for me to un-pack at the place. I wake up at around 8am and go downstairs to have breakfast, I'm surprised to see Jonny down there, he has puffy eyes but I decide not to make anything about it.
"Are you nervous?" Scott asks me.
"A little, but I'm excited to. It feels like a completely new beginning." I say smiling. Jonny just keeps eating his cereal ignoring everything around him. "I studied a lot to so hopefully I understand what they talk about."
We continue to eat our breakfast in silence; once everyone is done we all head off to the car.
Surprisingly Jonny comes to, I thought he would've just stayed home but it looks like he had a change of heart. His eyes are still puffy but he doesn't seem to care. Once we get to the school Scott grabs a box and I grab my backpack and suitcase. Jonny just follows along. We go to the front office and the lady gives me a key to my room, it is room 35. We all walk towards it and once we get inside I see that it is massive.
"You can just place the box here," I say to Scott, he puts the box next to my foot and I place my backpack and suitcase next to it. "I'm gonna un-pack later though," I say, walking towards the window. There are already loads of people here.
"You guys can go if you want," I say awkwardly.
"You sure you don't need any help un-packing?" Scott asks.
"Nah it's alright, I'll do it later," I say.
"Alrighty then," Scott walks towards me and wraps his arms around me, I embrace him in the hug. "Gonna miss seeing your face around," he says. "Have fun and don't do anything you know I wouldn't do," he says and winks at me, I just laugh. Jonny walks towards me and just looks.
"Bye-"but I cut him off, I wrap my arms around him and hug him.
"I'm gonna miss you so much," I say, feeling my eyes getting teary.
"I'll miss you too" he says.
"Text me okay, and I'll text you. I'll call you as much as I can to," I say, still hugging him. His arms are still around me and my head is resting on his shoulder. "I honestly don't know what I will do without you," I say.
"Just...be safe," he says, a tear falls down his cheek and lands on my head.
"Please don't cry Jonny, this is just going to make it worse," I say, the tears bulging up in my eyes. I wipe a tear off his cheek and smile.
"We better get going, so Zoe can explore this place and make some friends," Scott says, but Jonny's eyes are focused on me. He leans in and so do I.
"JONNY!" Scott says and we break out of our little world. The hug is broken and Jonny steps back.
"Cya later Zoe," he says.
"Bye Jonny, bye Scott," I say. They wave goodbye and close the door, I am left alone. So I begin to un-pack everything. Well this is fun, I think to myself sarcastically.

About 30 minutes passed and everything was un-packed. My room looks amazing, and I just hope my roommate is nice.
I decide to go explore the place so I head down onto the oval. There are little stands everywhere with people behind them; each stand is for a different thing. One stand has interior designing club on it, another has architecture on it. I keep walking until I see one that has 'Fashion' written on it in bold.
"Hey, my name's Lucy and this is Zack, we are the presidents of this club, and you're name is," a girl with light brown hair and tanned skin says.
"I'm Zoe Parker," I say shaking their hands.
"Pleasure to meet you," the boy says, he has hazel eyes and dark brown hair, he is a pale white but as a jawline of a goddess.
"How old are you Zoe?" Lucy asks.
"I'm 17, turning 18 next month," I say.
"Well, I'm 18," Lucy says.
"And I'm 18 also, turning 19 next year," Zack says and winks at me, I feel my cheeks going  a deep shade of pink.
"Lucy is my sister by the way, in case you were wondering," Zack says.
"Yep, sadly. We are twins, I'm older," Lucy says.
"But only by 2 minutes," Zack explains.
"Well I don't have any siblings, so I have to admit that's pretty cool, especially that you guys are twins."
"Yeah, we get that a lot." Lucy says.
"We just can't help it that we're fabulous," Zack says and flicks his hair.
"If you wanna sign up you can," Lucy says and hands me a clipboard. I put my name down and hand back the board.
"Great, well welcome to Dan's Design School, and we will see you soon," Lucy says. I shake both hers and Zacks hand, Zack winks at me again and I walk off.
Well that was interesting.

I walk back to my room to see my roommate un-packing things. I knock on the door, so I don't startle her, she stands up and comes to shake my hand.
"Hey, I'm Grace, and you are?" she says. Grace has blonde hair and blue eyes, she is extremely gorgeous.
"I'm Zoe, pleasure to meet you," I say and shake her hand. "Do you need any help un-packing?" I ask.
"That would actually be great," she says. So we spend the next hour un-packing and getting to know each other.

We finally finish packing and I check the time, it's 3:30pm. Suddenly, there is an announcement over the speaker.
"All students are to head to the gym for the meet and greet ceremony. I repeat all students are to head to the gym for the meet and greet ceremony," the voice says.
"We better get going then," Grace says.
So we make our way down to the gym, I have to admit, it took us a while to figure out where we were going but eventually we made it there in one piece.
