Chapter 4

Pov: Jules

I'll save you the whole transport experience because nothing happened. I arrived at the airport, I slept. Boarded the plane and slept some more. I like sleeping... shoot me. And then left the plane. But- there was a cute boy staring at me when I was waiting at the gate. I think he zoned out because when I stood up to go pee, he was still looking at the same spot.

Now I was in the taxi heading for Evergreen Academy. I think I might shit my pants or throw up. I haven't had time to have a little smoke break plus my pack is in my suitcase and I would rather not make a scene by opening the whole thing. So yeah- I'm shitting bricks.

There are so many things floating through my head. What if I don't make friends? What if it's going to be just like Riven. Omg what if my dorm mate doesn't like me and she says bad things about me? My heart's racing with all the different scenarios my head is creating. What if I fall in the middle of the hallway and everyone laughs at me.

My brain likes to torture me like this. I can't help it. I close my eyes and listen to the music filling my ears. "You're going to be fine" I whisper to myself. Evergreen Academy is a supposed to be beautiful and fancy. Maybe it won't be so bad.

The taxi pulls up to a giant gate and the driver says something in the intercom. Holy fuck- THIS is Evergreen Academy?!?!?! I see giant buildings- no scratch that- castles?! It's honestly breathtaking, ivy climbs the old bricks walls, beautiful pillars and a water fountain?! Wow this school really is fancy.

The taxi is brought to a stop when arrive at the main entrance. I hop out of the car and take my headphones out too. The taxi driver drops my giant suitcase beside me and says "Have a nice day, the costs are covered by the school." Oh- nice! I give him a sweet smile and start walking.

I can see students in everyday wear sitting on benches and lounging on the grass. I tug my suitcase trying to act casual, but I can feel the heavy stares directing my way. It's not every day that a girl is walking with a giant suitcase in the middle of the school year.

Entering the building I already see a lady behind a desk with the words 'Main Office' written above it. That was easy to find.

I walk up to the woman, and she immediately starts talking with a big smile "Hello, dear. I presume you're our new student, can I have your name?" She radiates this big beam warmth. I didn't know someone could even do that.

"Uh Dylan Wilder but I go by Jules" I tell her.

"Oh well welcome to Evergreen Academy Jules." She hands me a folder with a bunch of papers in it. "This is your welcome packet, it has all the information you need such as your timetable, dorm number and key, lunch menus and curfews. I suggest you read through it and if you have any questions, you can come find me."

"Thank you." I take the folder and open it to find my dorm information. The number 352 is written big at the top. Time to find my new home for the next upcoming months.

The signs on the walls are a life saver. Luckily there's an elevator in this place, I wasn't looking forward to carrying this suitcase up 3 flights of stairs. The elevator dings open, and the signs tell me to turn left.

Door 352. The door to my new home. I take my key and turn the lock. The door opens inwards and shimmy my way through the doorway with my suitcase. I look up and the first thing is a very small room with 2 beds, 2 desks and 2 wardrobes. And a big mess. Did a bomb go off in here?

Then I register the girl lying on the bed. We both look very uncomfortable at each other. Then the girl stands up to put on her- Oh god, she was only wearing a t-shirt. That's it, coochie out and all. Oh my god. I cover my eyes with my hand and say "uh... hi?" I honestly don't know what to say in this moment. The first in counter with my new roommate is her standing basically with her whole business on display.

I didn't expect a lot, but I definitely didn't except THIS. "I uh- I'm sorry. I think I'm your new roommate" I proceeded to say. The sound of a zipper closing reaches my ears signalling it's safe to lower my hand. I don't like to take the risk, so I follow up with the question "Is it safe?"

The girl says, "uh yeah." I lower my hand to see the girl now fully clothed. Relief washed over me but the awkwardness still filling the room. I take this moment to look at my roommate. She was really pretty, blond hair to her waist with beautiful blue eyes and long lashes to make them pop even more. If you told me she was a model, I would believe you.

"I was actually just leaving..." she looks at me and points at the doorway I was standing in. "Can uh- can I just." She points towards the hallway and realization hits me that I was standing in her way.

I quickly step aside to clear the way to the hallway. She quickly slides by me without saying anything else. Now it's just me standing alone in the dorm room.

What the fuck just happened. Was that really my first encounter with my roommate? I don't think I can ever erase that image from my mind. I do have to give her credit for her perfect shave. Not what I wanted to learn about her, I DONT EVEN KNOW HER NAME.

Fuck my life.
