who are you really?

New York City Skyline

"Wow well this is different," I mouthed to myself as I walked out of the taxi. I had never seen anything like this. All of these people  and things to look at. All we had back in Taylor was a movie theater and a Walmart. Those were the only two things you could do on the weekends. From the looks of it you could do everything and still not get bored here. 

I gathered my stuff from the cab and grabbed my phone to try and find out where my dorm was.

"Hey watch it!" Someone yelled. I spun around to see who was talking to me, but they had already left. I needed to find my dorm and fast.

After about and hour of wandering around campus I finally found it. I walked in to find a girl already in my room.

"Hey I'm Amelia." I said. No response.

"Hey!" I repeated.

"Oh my gosh I'm sorry I had my headphones. I'm Riley." The girl said.

"Oh ok I'm Amelia" 

Riley was tall and brunette. She looked like one of the girls out of the fashion magazines I'd seen in the grocery stores back home.

"Your like really pretty I love your rustic feel" Riley commented. I was suddenly very aware of the highschool T-shirt and baggy jeans I was wearing.

"Um thanks, you're really too pretty" 

The room was already covered of band posters. I didn't really mind though. Our room wasn't as small as I expected, we had a big window that looked out at the New York City sky line. It was so pretty. I knew I would never get bored of it. 

I finished bringing my bags in and started taking out my things. "So where are you from?" Riley said.

"No where really, just a small town in Texas" 

Riley laughed and said "Is it true that you all ride around on horses and stuff."

"Only sometimes" I joked.

"Well I've always wanted to travel to Texas. I heard that they have really great barbecue"

"That part if definitely true." I said. I had a feeling that we would be getting along.

Just then a there was a knock at our door. Riley ran to open it. Standing in the door way was a tall man who looked liked that male version of Riley. He was very handsome and had a whole arm of tattoos. He could also be a male model.

"Oh this is Caleb, Amelia" Riley said still looking at him.

"Hi" I said sheepishly. I hope they couldn't see that my face had turned bright pink.

"Amelia is my roommate, she's from Texas." 

"Thats cool." Caleb said.

"Were gonna go out I just have to get ready. Caleb you can wait in here and talk to Amelia she could use some new friend." Riley said and then left the room.

"What are you studying." I said to Caleb.

"I'm a film major."

"Oh" I squeaked

"Whats this?" Caleb said as he pulled my pink teddy bear out of my open suit case.

"Oh that's nothing, you don't need to touch that." I ran over to grab it back. but i just ended up falling onto my bed. 

I suddenly realized how close I was to him. I took the bear back and hid it under my blanket. He also seemed to notice because he stood up and walked over to the window. I watched him as he looked out at the buildings.

"The view is really nice right" I said still looking at him. 

He turned around and met my eyes, "Yeah definitely"

After a few uncomfortable second that felt more like years Riley returned in a red dress. 

She looked really good.

"You ready to go?" She said.

"Yea is Amelia coming." Caleb said. 

"Oh I don't really want to third wheel" 

"We're not dating" Caleb said. Riley looked kind of disappointed. 

"Its ok I still have to unpack my stuff. Maybe another time." 

"Ok. Come on lets go Caleb" Riley said clearly annoyed.

Did Caleb want me to go with him? I thought to myself.
