Chp 1

POV OF ALEXA

My dad parked the car near the gate. I got out from the car and took a view at the great historic building of the HARTFIELD UNIVERSITY.

I wore my round glasses with two blonde braids resting on my shoulders. I wore a brown tshirt tugged in my black jeans. Dad took out my red luggage from the backseat of the car. I hung my small backpack on my right shoulder and I had my novel which I was reading in the car in my right hand. I took the luggage from dad.

"Best of luck sweetheart." Dad exclaimed. It had cost him a fortune to pay for the fees.

I held his hands, "Thank you for everything, I'll surely make you proud."

"I trust you sweetheart." He had tears in his eyes. I gave him a quick hug and left.

I entered the gate, I finished my check at the gate and went in. I looked back, dad was still there waving at me, I waved back.

I was not able to find the room. I was searching, when suddenly a guy came running and dashed me out. We both fell with a thud. My luggage hit the ground hard.

"Can't you watch where your going?" I asked checking whether my luggage had broke.

"You should have watched your way." The guy said getting up. He sounded rude. He wore a sky blue tshirt and light brown trousers with a white Nike shoes. He had a stubborn expression on his face and I totally hated it. He seemed to be of my age. I thought ignoring him was the best I could

do. He gave me a hand when I realized I was still on the ground. I ignored his hand and got up on my own. He smirked and took his hand back moulding his hairs. I took my luggage and walked past him. "Are you new here?" He asked as I walked away. "Yea" I replied looking back. He nodded biting his lower lip. "Could you tell me were are the rooms?" I asked expecting him to help. "Yea, go straight and the 2nd left." He replied and went running again. I was about to thank but he had left already.

I took the locations, I took the 2nd left, there was a long route, it took me 30 minutes when suddenly I saw a dog it was wild, it came running towards me. I got panicked I ran back with my luggage, the dog took a high jump and was about to land on me, someone threw a stone at it to which it fell down to the ground. A tall guy with a white cap, a light green loose tshirt and white torn jeans stepped in. He was fair as the lily. I was catching my breath when he came to me, "Are you okay?" He asked politely. "Yea" I said with a sweet smile. "What are you doing here? Are you new?" He asked scanning the surroundings and landing his eyes on me.

"Yea, I'm new and a passer by told me that the rooms were here."

"He has fooled you, no one comes this way and it's always haunted by wild dogs."

I felt like kicking the *** of the stranger. Damm why did I even ask him. "Thank you, if not for you I think I would have been bitten already. " I said to the stranger.

"Let's get out of here first." He said taking my luggage.

"Its fine I can carry" I said holding my luggage.

He took my right hand which was on the luggage and kissed it, " How can I let a beautiful lady carry such a big luggage?" Soooo sweet, I felt my cheecks turning pink. He was like Prince Charming. He was totally opposite to the stranger. "Can I know your beautiful name?" I snapped out from my thoughts.

"Umm.. Alexa, Alexa Powell." I replied.

"Ohh.. Myself James Carlet. Nice meeting you Alexa."

"Nice meeting you too." I replied.

We walked few steps silently. "What were you reading?" He asked looking at the book in my hand. "Its the TWILIGHT." I replied looking at the book.

"I've read it, its pretty good ." I nodded in agreement.

"Which room are you staying?"he asked when we reached out.

"Room 105." I said looking at the paper which had the details, I had kept it in my book.

"I too am in the same room! It seems we are roommates. " Yeaaah, his my roommate that means I got a chance. I smiled to myself.

"Uh.." I saw him confusingly staring at me. "Nothing " I said with a smile.

He took me to the room, I stepped in the room was further divided into six small rooms.

"We are actually six roommates, I think they haven't arrived yet, you can select your room." He said looking at the rooms. "Ok" I replied. Three rooms were at the first floor and three at the ground. Below the rooms were 2 facing each other and the other facing forward near the kitchen. Above also 2 rooms were facing each other and 1 room faced forward and there was another door I don't know what that was I didn't want the above ones. I choose a room that was facing the other room. It was the corner one. "Ok, you can settle in there." James said leading me inside the room. The room was big with a single bed and a bathroom and toilet. There was a bookshelf near the bed and a wardrobe, there was a tv facing the bed. "Which room are you in?" I asked curiously. "The one above yours." He said with a smile. His emerald green eyes shone at his smile. "Ok" I replied a little dissapointed. He was about to leave, "Evening 7 there is a party upstairs in the balcony, just 6 of us, hope you join."

"Sure." I said confirming.

He left the whole afternoon I spent unpacking my things. At six my room was perfectly decorated. I had brought some photos that I hanged on the walls in front of the bed above the tv. They we actually family photos. I got freshed, I opened the braids and tied my blonde long hairs into a ponytail that reached my waist just above my butt. I wore a pink skirt. It reached till my knees it had a golden strip across my waist it had net sleeves. I wore small golden earrings. I heard a knock at my door. I quickly applied some lip balm and took a glance at the mirror. I looked simple and casual. I opened the door and found James. He was still wearing the cap and was in the same dress. "Hey" I greeted. It wasn't 7 there were 10 more minutes left. "Hii, here meet Jack" he said facing a guy with a white shirt that had icecream cones printed on it. He gave me a handshake. "And this is Kathylin" he said facing a girl who wore a blue skirt with white flowers printed on it. She gave me a hug, she was beautiful. "And this is Becca." A girl who was about 5'9 and wore a high heel which made her as tall as James. She wore a red skirt with diamond designs at the neck, she gave me a bright smile and hugged me.

"And guys this is Alexa." James turned to me. "Nice meeting you. " everyone greeted. "Nice too meet you all too." I said with a smile.

""Aren't we supposed to be six? I think we are only five." Becca noted. "Yea, Chris is in the balcony already. " James spoke.

"Then let's head up." Jack said moving upstairs.

"Let's go" Kathylin said holding my hands. I was at the last. We reached up there was 2 three seat sofa placed face to face with a table in between the guy faced backwards and was watching the sight. "Chris we are here." He turned, my mouth fell, "YOU!?" we both spoke at the same time.
