Bestfriends With My Doppelganger

Chapter 4

    There is a knock on the door and this pulls me from my slumber. I remove the covers from my head and observe the room. Marisol is fast asleep in her bed, soft snores filling her space.

   I sit up and swing my feet over the edge of the bed. The knock sounds again and I get up to answer it.

    "Goodmorning, I am Deborah Milton and I am the president of Burkley Hall. I would like to formerly welcome you to our fine establishment and I hope you have the best experience possible" she says before I even got to return the greeting.

   She has curly blonde hair that was in a short frizzy style and dark blue eyes. She spoke as if she was a native British.

   "Goodmorning, nice to meet you. I am Illiana Adams. That's my roommate Marisol Bolavista but she's currently asleep" I say to her, stepping aside and gesturing to Marisol's sleeping figure.

     "Great, I'll be going then. I hope to see you both around. Have a great day" she says before walking away. I close the door and go to sit on my bed.

      I take my cellphone from under the pillow. It's now 9:08 a.m. I remember I hadn't taken a shower yesterday due to how tired I was. I was now fully rested and my body had adjusted to the change of time zones.

       I open my chest and take out a simple flowy dress and underwear along with my small overnight pouch before going to the bathroom.

   I had not entered the bathroom yesterday so this was my first time seeing its features.

    It was a little bit larger than an average size bathroom. A toilet was in the far corner of the bathroom. There was a 7 feet tall mirror on the wall going upwards from the ground. Beside that there was a face basin that had a medicine cabinet above it that had a small mirror on the front as well.

     The walls were a pastel pink and there were black mats and towels along with a white shower curtain that had black dots of different sizes all over it.

   I open up my overnight pouch and I take out my toothpaste, toothbrush and my hair brush. I place them inside the medicine cabinet then I take out my soap, shampoo & conditioner and my body wash and place them on the rack inside on the wall of the shower.

    'Good morning sleeping beauty' I think to myself sarcastically as I look at my appearance in the mirror on the medicine cabinet. My hair was in knotts and I have eye crum. Oh my gosh!

        I hadn't even remembered I looked like this when I was talking to Deborah. And eww, I got morning breath. I do a mental face palm before I get my toothbrush and squeeze some toothpaste on to it. I wet it then proceeded to brush my teeth.

   I wish life was like those movies where the girls wake up with a beautiful face of makeup and their hair perfectly slayed. Ha! As if.

     After I was done I brushed the knots from my hair and stripped myself of clothing.

   I turn on the shower and wait for it to get to the right temperature that I desired. Not cold but not too hot either.

    I wash my hair with my citrus scented shampoo and conditioner and played with the bubbles a bit. I am easily amused, that's something I must confess.

  Growing up, my mother was always my best friend. Even after she had another baby. Annabelle, my mom and I are the best of friends. I never had any real friends because they were always somehow only talking to me because of my money and status.

   Being here I hope to get some real friends for once, nobody knows about me being rich or more like my parents being rich.

    The water starts getting a bit cold and I am pulled from my thoughts. I wash the soap from my hair and then I lather myself with my body wash.

   I scrub myself clean and hurriedly rinse off before drying myself and getting dressed. I take my dirty clothes and go and place them in a hamper at the bottom of my closet.

     "Hey there" Marisol greets me and I look up. Shes sitting on her bed with her legs folded and her laptop in her lap.

     "Hi goodmorning. I hadn't realized you were up".

    "What're you gonna do today? Wanna check out campus with me and get breakfast as well? I'm starving" she speaks, looking up from her occasional typing.

    "That sounds good. Let me know when you're ready" I say. I sit down and start to lotion my skin as she places her laptop the the side and gets up. She goes into the bathroom and closes the door.

   After I was through rubbing my skin I took up my cellphone and checked it.

   I need to get me a sim card because the roaming charges would be too much for the time span that I'm gonna be here. I connect to the University's WiFi.

   I proceed to face time my mother.

  It rings a bit before it starts to say connecting. My smile brightens as my mother's face comes up on the screen.

    "Hi baby, how's everything? You settled in alright?" she asks. I see my father standing behind her and I smile. "Hey mom, hi dad. It's ok so far, I was so tired last night which is why I didn't call you" I say.

   "That's fine sweetie. I'm just glad to know that you're ok. You have any friends as yet? See any cute boys?" my mother asks and I blush. My father pushes her shoulder forward and she laughs.

   "I'm not laughing Eloise" he says. I laugh at their small exchange before I reply. "No mom, I haven't met any boys but I have a roommate. Her name is Marisol, she seems like a nice girl. We'll be going to get breakfast soon" I say.

   "That's sounds nice, where is she?"

  "Well she's in the bathroom right now" I say. "Oh ok, I hope to meet her some other time then. We've got to be in a meeting soon dear, talk later?" dad speaks to me.

   "No problem, by the way where's Anna?" I ask. "She's been over her friends house all day, you could call her if you'd like" mom informs me.

  "Maybe later, but until then tell her I said hi" I said. "Ok sweetheart, I love you" my mother says. "I love you Illiana" my father says. "I love you guys" I say and place my hand on my lips before blowing them a kiss.

    The call ends and I start to check my social media. I do this, trying to pass the time until Marisol would be done with her shower.
