Now I see |H.S.| ON HOLD

Chapter 6

Orientation went very well. Harry isn't in any of my classes. I don't know if I should feel about that. Marcus isn't in any of my classes either, sadly. Now that Orientation is over I am able to sleep and finally relax. The first day for classes are in 5 days. I don't think that would give me enough time to situated by I will try my best.

After Orientation I went to get a bite to eat before I came back to my room. When I walk through the lobby I passed Marcus. He is talking with some other students. He looks to me when I am just about to press the elevator button. Our eyes meet as we both gave each other a friendly wave. Next thing he does is make his hands into the call me symbol and put it against his ear.

The expression he made causes me to laugh. I nod my head and then go into the elevator. I press floor 6. I hold onto the elevator rail as it moves up the floors. I'm glad how well today was. I left out a sigh checking my phone. It is now 6:41 and I am exhausted.

Its late, I have jet lag. I had no type of sleep. I wish I can fall asleep in the elevator. It is so peaceful and quiet in here. The elevator dings to the 6th floor causing the door to open. I walk down the hall remembering my room is 633. I take out my key and begin to unlock the door.

I open my door to tripping over blue and pink luggage in front of the door. I fall to the floor being able to catch myself with my hands being able to not hurting myself to badly. I'm guessing my roommate is here. My hair is in my face from falling so pull it back glancing up. I notice the only back of the girl.

She is wearing tight black leggings that flatter her figure. Matching the shoes are these black high heel strap up boots. She also has on a red tight fitting crop top that is slightly covered behind by her loose dark full volume curls. I notice that she has on white and silver headphones. She doesn't notice I'm here or that I fell over her things.

She is turned back looking at my nightstand. She has a picture of me and my mother in her hands. Suddenly I feel my heart crack. She puts down the frame and pics up the one with Jo and I when we were 7. Now my heart is shattered.

I don't know why I still have that picture. It just hurts me to not have it. I slowly rise from the ground dusting myself off. I turn around to shut the door I never did after i fell. I walk toward my bed and just sit down staring at the girl until she recognizes my presence. I look to the side of her face. She has these sparkling hoops in her ears that look gorgeous yet very expensive.

She looks in my direction as she slowly places the picture down. She is smiling at me at me obviously trying to make a good impression. I smile back still my heart shattered in pieces. She takes off her head phones. "I'm sorry, I was being very nosy. I just wanted to see how my room mate looks." She says looking a bit embarrassed.

Her voice is very silver and sweet. I get a clear look of her face. She is beautiful. I would die for her beauty. Her strong British accents makes her seem perfect. She has the most beautiful glowing brown eyes. Her beauty makes me jealous just looking at her.

I nod giving her a forced smile trying to let her know it's fine. "I'm sorry once again. I'm Cher." She says smiling stepping away from my night stand and come closer to me. She sits next to me smiling seeing that I am not upset.

"It's okay. I'm Val" I say. She is now relaxed. "I missed Orientation because I left home to late. I live in Malvern so it took me a while. I made it here about 30 minutes ago." She says. That is actually a good thing. Now she isn't going to be putting on an act because of what the dean said.

She looks at me in my eyes and tilts her head gleaming at me. "Your American aren't you" She says as she laughs a little. I nod looking at my shoes. "Yes. I am American." I say. I here her chuckle some more. "Great because I like meeting people from different backgrounds." She says still smiling. Although I'm still looking at my shoes I can feel her smile.

"That's great." I say looking at her. She is really nice. I think I can become friends with her because she really is a pleasant person to be around. Also very positive. Unlike Joanna. I appreciate that about a person.

She rises from my bed patting her thighs. "Well, I should get to unpacking. Sorry for having my luggage at the door by the way." she says still having such a nice voice. "Yea. I need some rest anyways. I've haven't got rest sense I been here."

"Wait are you going to sleep for the night?" Cher asks me sound let down. "Yea. Jet lag" I say Resting over my covers staring at the ceiling. "oh okay then. Are you planning to go to the Oxford Social Tomorrow?" Cher speaks as she folds her close placing them in the drawer.

"Whats the Oxford Social?" I ask rising onto my elbows looking at Cher while she unpacks. "The Oxford Social is when all the students get together and party all day. There are games, Contest, Performances. It happens every year before the school year starts. Ending the summer the right way." Cher explains more of it. Turns out her parents used to go here and they would have this much fun.

"I think I might go..." I say letting my thoughts slip threw my mouth. "Awesome. We can go together. It starts at 12am and ends like at 2." She says continuing to fold. She sounds eager and excited. " So It's only 2 hours?" I ask confused. So much for a party. "No, 2am. These people party hard." I sigh in relief. Looks like I'm gonna live while i'm young. I never Partied for 14 hours before. I never partied for 5 hours.

It's insane to me but it makes me excited. "I don't know many people here so It's good I have you as a roommate." Cher says Finally finishing up her unpacking. She sits on her bed and smiles. "I feel the same way. I don't know anyone here." I say letting a slight chuckle leave my lips.

"I'm going to the bath. I need to clean myself up." Cher then grabs some clothes that she nicely folded and went to the bathroom shutting the door. When she leaves I remember Marcus telling me to call him. I pull out the 5 pounds that Marcus gave me and looked for his number. I found it and started dialing it into my phone.

As i'm punching in the numbers I remember that Cher is in the Bath room not to far and may hear me. So I got up and go out the room. I shut the door behind me not looking where I am going I walk into someone causing my phone to go flying out of my hands. It lands on the carpet hopefully not damaged at all.

I look up and I see a blue eyed boy with blonde hair swooped up out of his face but in the hair. Blue eyes and blonde hair reminded me of Joanna. No I am more upset.

"I am so so so sorry" His voice not completely British. But more of an Irish sound. It's quite cute but doesn't stop me from being mad. I don't like being mad or mean to cute guys but here it goes.

"Watch where your walking can you?" I say as I walk to where my phone is. I pick it up closing my eyes before looking at the screen. Its not Cracked.

This dude is so lucky. If it was cracked I would have kicked his little cute Irish ass. "Are you American?" He asks me when I stand up. Are these people stupid. Why is that always the first question someone asks me.

I roll my eyes and say "Yea. Are you Irish?" He nods and tries to smile at me. I'm heading for the door and I am just about to open it.

"Wait. Aren't you Valentina? From orientation?"

Here we go again. "Yes." I say opening my door. "Well my name is Niall." He says as I step one foot into the room.

I never been actually mean to someone I don't know. Even if they have done something I didn't like. I learned to always give people chances. "Nice to meet you Niall."

I smile and nod off to him as I make my way into the room to see a fully dressed pajama Cher. I go over to my bed and lay on it. Not even moving a bit.

I am exhausted and I never got a chance to call Marcus because I just ended up going into a deep sleep. I guess I'm going to shower in the morning.
