Chapter Five ~ Starting college

I had just gotten to the dorm. My dad had left a few moments ago after filling out the necessary paperwork.

"Argh" the luggage were extremely heavy, and my room was all the way up to the 2nd floor...

It was a 3-storeyy building, I cursed under my breath as I drag my luggage with me ....

"Hey! Do you need some help with that?" I looked up to find whose voice that was....

It was an average-sized girl she wasn't short, but she wasn't tall either, she had glasses on, and she looked right about the same age as me.

Thank you, I'd really appreciate that "I smiled"

She grabbed one of my boxes so I was left with a box and a duffle bag, I was truly grateful for her help.

I'm Ella, you? I asked, I was trying to start a conversation, I really hated awkward silence.

"Cassie"

Nice name, "I said"

"Thank you" she responded with a smile...

Are you a freshman like me or?

"I'm a freshman too" she giggled

We had gotten to my room door I thanked Cassie as she gently placed by box down

"Thank you so much for your help Cassie"

Oh, It was nothing, it was a pleasure meeting you I hope I get to see you around.

"Definitely" I responded

I opened the room door and I was in awe, it was beautiful ..... The walls were painted in white and the room was quite spacious, there were four beds, and it seems like I was the last one to move in ...

I took a deep breath I crashed on the bed, I was finally done setting my things up, and I was as tired as can be.

I picked up my phone to see if I had any messages and sure enough my mom had called.

I sent her a text saying I was settling in just fine, and I'd call her tomorrow.

A knock came from the door and the door opened a stunning looking girl stood in the doorway, she had light skin with big brown eyes her hair was in a messy bun, and she looked exhausted...

Her face lit up with a smile finding its way to her lips, she seemed really thrilled to see me and I couldn't help but smile back...

"Finally" she said rolling her eyes playfully, we were starting to think you weren't going to come

I giggled, I just didn't want to resume so early... I'm Ella you?

Oh, I'm so sorry I am Alexandra but Alex for short. We did a lot of talking, she was studying computer science and was also in her first year.... my eyes were droopy and I was barely conscious, Alex had noticed and asked that we continued tomorrow to be honest she was very chatty not that it was a bad thing but just not currently.....

I retired to my bed and dozed off immediately, today was really hectic.

I groaned as I stirred in bed "sigh" it was morning already ... I wasn't ready to get out of bed anytime soon so I shut my eyes closed, I smiled mentally to how comfortable and relaxing the bed felt.... Then it hit me....I wasn't at home any longer I was in school and I had a class for 8, I frantically searched for my phone to see what time it was, 7:09 I panicked I was not about to be late on my first day, I got out of bed and practically ran into the bathroom I took a quick shower and slapped on some leggings and a loose knit sweater wasn't in the mood for snickers, so I put on ballet flats it was 7:45 by the time I was done, Alex and the other girls were still asleep they probably didn't have morning lectures "lucky" I thought to myself I rushed out hoping I am able to make it there on time....

At this point I don't know if anyone is reading, but if you are you're deeply appreciated ❤
