Chapter 1
6 AM, 25/06/23
Waking up, I was not ready to begin college. My first day and sleeping on campus, I couldn’t imagine a worse way to spend my time. Of course, my friend was excited she was already banging on my door and i had only just woken up.
“Wake up!!!” Lola says (my best friend, long brown hair with brown eyes, glasses and drinks ALOT)
“Fuck sake, Its 6 in the morning. This really will be the worse day of my life.” I said grumpily clearly in a mood. I HATE waking up.
Suddenly, Lola dragged me out of my leg, I could of cried and that is no joke. Next minute i know shes handing me a hairbush and makeup. Thats Lola, always got to look perfect. She thinks I’ll find someone.
“Come on Lily, you haven’t put effort since you got cheated on. 3 years ago.” Lola nudged me and gave me a faint smile. I just groaned in response but I knew how happy it would make her to see I had made an effort, so I did. I regret it.
8 AM
We’d finished packing and had set off to campus. I wasn’t ready at all, but thats life. I had a good feeling about this place though. It doesn’t seem to be fill with erm… weirdos.
“You can smile you know, It wont be all bad” My mum said. I didn’t care much for my mum, she doesn’t even try hide the fact that she doesn’t care. Im her daughter for fuck sake yet she does anything she can to keep me away. Zoned out, Lola nudged me and gave me a certain expression as if to say, ‘Answer her, now’. God Lola scares.
“I guess it can’t be that bad..” I gave an awkward laugh, trying my hardest but it sounded so fake. I was a horrible liar. Lola just rolled her eyes at me. I really couldn’t be arsed so I just plugged my headphones in and blasted music ignoring them.
10 AM
We just arrived to the campus, It was huge. I was really not prepared. I considered going home but as long as Lola’s here, i have nothing to worry about right??. I don’t know. I’ll end up going back to alcohol everyday. That’s not what i want to do.
I actually gave my mum a goodbye hug. I guess it was really it, she was in a hurry to leave, she couldnt of left faster. Clearly didn’t care.
Luckily, me and Lola were assigned the same dorm, dorm 52,to share, thank god for that. I was quite happy actually with all the unpacking we had to do we only had one class that day, I was looking forward to it actually. Despite the fact it was history, i HATE history. I was just blessed my only class today was with Lola.
We got our keys and went up to our dorm and unpacked. I’ll admit, it really wasn’t the most, spacious place ever. Then again, it was copeable. Aslong as Lola didnt bring a different boy round every night, hopefully she matured. I was looking to change my outfit for my class, After all, Lola begged me to. I decided to go with my casual wear, just a tank top and some denim shorts. It was warm after all.
“You ready for our first class ever?” Lola asked me she looked so excited I couldn’t ruin her mood. I gave her a faint smile and replied “Yes, I can’t wait” I managed to pull off that lie, lord. We walked down to our first class…
