twenty two

As the door slowly opened, she carefully stepped out before dragging her suitcase behind her as she made her way down the long hallway.

Liv came to a halt as she came face-to-face with the dorm she was assigned, room 623.

The door was wide open, and inside stood a blonde girl with her back to the door as she watched people decorate the room.

"Wow." Alyvia breathed out, causing the blonde girl to quickly turn around, allowing the Bolton girl to see her face, making her let out a gasp. "Sharpay?"

"Oh good, you're here!" Sharpay squealed, clapping her hands, rushing over to the girl, looping her arm through the Bolton girl, pulling her farther into the room. "What do you think?"

"It's pink." Alyvia muttered, glancing around the room before locking eyes with Sharpay. "I love it!"

"Yay! I knew you would." Sharpay cheered as she let go of the girl's arm, taking a seat in one of the clear chairs, causing Alyvia to slowly follow her lead.

"So I heard you asked for me to be your roommate." Alyvia spoke, looking over at the blonde.

"Of course! You know, with Ryan all the way in New York at Julliard, Daddy wouldn't let me get a place on my own, and since you're my only friend here, I practically begged for Daddy to get us put together. But it wasn't hard since he's on the board and everything."

"Got it." Alyvia said, sending the girl a smile as she felt her phone buzzing in her pocket.

The Bolton girl pulled out her phone to find messages from the Wildcats at U of A minus Sharpay.

"Hey, Sharpay, do you happen to have any dinner plans?" Alyvia asked, glancing over at the blonde girl, causing the girl to shake her head. "Good, you're coming with me."

Martha C.💃🏻

"Let's go!" Alyvia grinned, grabbing the Evans girl's arm before quickly pulling her out of the room with her.

"Come on, I'm pretty sure it's this way." Alyvia said, pulling her boyfriend by the hand as they walked across the campus.
