Weird Roommate

Mum and I decided to take a walk to the cute restaurant which was a few miles away from my hostel. I must say Everest is really beautiful . Tall oak trees trailed the road at each side, most of the students that passed barely took notice to us which made the work peaceful. At the restaurant mum decided to have a turkey sandwich. I wasn't really hungry so I had a cup of ice tea instead. A few meters away from the restaurant was the schools forest reserve . I gazed at the beautiful trees which swayed because of the gentle wind. For some reason I felt like I had been here before , the gentle breeze, the cloudy skies it felt so familiar."Serena aren't you listening" mum said, "what" I was so lost in thoughts I didn't know mum was talking."on no account should you have anything to do there Serena, I'm positive the forest is off limits and even if it's not ,you are meant to be too concentrated on your studies you would have no time to wonder about" mum said when she noticed I wasn't listening to what she was saying . "Yeah I think I know that Mum" I said with a smile . "I think it's time we head back " I said as the waiter came to our table. "Are you guys all done" she said with a broad smile, her short curly black hair really suited her oval face. "Yes thank you very much it was delicious" I said with a smile before tipping her. The cool breeze hit us as soon as we stepped out of the restaurant. We walked silently to my hostel luckily my roommate wasn't back yet. "I guess I'm not going to meet this roommate of yours"Mum said , I get the fact she wants to meet whoever I am going to spend nearly the entire year with but, I was actually relieved that Mum didn't get to meet her. Mum looked at me sadly " I'm going to miss you alot darling" she said stroking my cheek", "I will miss you too mum "I said hugging her. "Well then I would call as soon as I get home "she said as we both left the room. "I hope you would enjoy it here sweetheart you deserve to be here, I love you very much remember that " Mum said before she got into the car. " Bye love " she said with a smile before starting the rusty engine of dad's old truck . " Bye mum" I said as she drove off. " I love you too" I whispered . I went to my room, looking at the walls I was glad that I was alone. I laid on my bed looking up at the ceiling , it all felt like a dream two weeks ago I was so excited to come here but, right now I don't know how to feel. I decided to have a look at the Everest book of rules which had alot of restrictions. I had that Everest was strict on Visitation and students passes outside school premises, what I didn't know was that there are only two visiting days in six months. You equally need an exit pass from the admissions office to leave the school and these were only given during emergencies. I wanted to have a quick shower to clear my mind and I did need one after the long ride to school but,my plans were interrupted when the door opened by a girl with bright orange hair with too many tattoos that I could barely see her skin . She had no tattoos on her face though but she had piercing on her nose and lower lip. She had on headphones so she wasn't aware of my presence in the room. "Whooh! Hey you must be my new roommate" she said with a smile taking off her headphones. "I'm Tisha by the way, welcome to Everest the saddest place to be in the world but, you don't have to worry the two of us are going to have alot of fun " sitting on my bed. Something about her excited me ... maybe it was her confidence ,something I knew I lacked or was it her beautiful face. I think I might not be transferring rooms anymore. Tisha looked at me her dark blue eyes fixed on me. "So is there a name to this pretty face". PRETTY.. I didn't expect that. "Serena Anderson" trying to avoid eye contact with her. "What are you studying" she said before getting up revealing a butterfly tattoo on her thigh, It looked really cute. "Journalism, I want to be a reporter" I said taking off the plain sheets on my bed and replacing them with my pink flowery sheets. Tisha looked at my sheets weirdly then chuckled. "I would love to watch you on TV you have the face and body to pull it of" Tisha said changing into something that looked like a top but, made out of nets , she wore very tiny shorts on fishnets and finished the gangster look with a leather jacket. She looked amazing. I watched as she opened a bag filled with stuff I know I would never apply on my face. She painted her beautiful full lips black and coloured her eyelids. "Girl you stare alot" Tisha said with a smirk . "Am sorry I didn't mean to.. you look great" I said feeling so stupid for staring at her. "Thanks, um not really sure whether I would be back tonight but a friend of mine is coming over to pick up a few notes just so you know ". Tisha said picking up her leather bag and boots. "Oh..okay see you when you get back then". For some reason I felt bad she was leaving , I wanted her to stay, I wanted to get to know her better. Why did she like black so much and what's with the pictures on the wall but I guess my curiosity would have to wait till she gets back. "Bye Serena" Tisha said leaving the room.

I decided to get some stuff arranged , I still hadn't figured out what I was going to wear for lectures tomorrow. I arranged my books on the little book shelf on the wall and placed my clothes in the wardrobe . After that I went through the school map. Everest is so large and alot of places on campus where strictly off limits . I was so occupied that I wasn't aware of the girl in the room. I looked up to see someone who had a similar look as Tisha.

She had fewer tattoos though had just a piercing on her lower lip. Her brown curly hair was packed in a messy bun and she had on bright makeup . "Hi I'm Becky , Tisha's girlfriend". She said pushing up some loose curls which fell on her shoulders and there was the same tattoo Tisha had on her thigh, that butterfly.
