I  was so excited,as I got into the plane with my fellow applicants.

It was still like a dream when I applied for the scholarship my mom had doubts about it but here I was  now on a plane heading to New York City the land of my  dreams,what could possibly be better than this.

Throughout the flight I was so excited, the person beside me was snoring lightly beside what sort of person would be sleeping on a plane I mean the view is breathtaking,and then the food served on the plane is simply divine.

Ok,my name is Rena Ayomide Utokanandu,I am from Nigeria,and yes I am from two different tribes a part Yoruba and a part Igbo I like to call myself a tribal half cast,I know I'm exaggerating but still allow a girl to live for God's sake.

I applied for a scholarship program in NYU trust me when I say I read till my eyes bled,but here I am right now in New York on my way to NYU yay. A really fancy car who am I kidding I called a cab and headed to NYU.

I got down from the cab and made my way towards the school administrative office but it wasn't as hectic and stressful as I thought it would be turns out everything had being taken care of I was given my room number and key I did a silent prayer in my heart please Lord,may my roomie be nice I read a lot of novels where the roommate is an asshole or a jackass I know they end up falling in love but still

I found my room thirty minutes of walking around aimlessly I got a chance to look around but it was still so much work I just hope my roomie is a clean freak because I am one messy person.

I finally got to my room and the door was unlocked looks like my roomie is already there how convenient ugh I knocked just to be polite and went in they were to girls in the room one of them had black hair and her skin was like melted gold wow she's definitely a black no doubts but damnn, the other was a blonde she looked classy and all that stuff I just hope she isn't a bitch I hate it when people don't like me all my life there is this energy I carry people just love me instantly I have  met a few people that a immune to my charms it never ended well trust me.

"Hi" the blonde said waving at me I smiled back she doesn't sound like a bitch that's a relief, she walked across the room and held out her hand for a shake " I'm Deborah,nice to meet you"
I took her hand and smiled " I'm Rena, likewise "

The dark skinned goddess came to me next smiling and displaying the beautiful set of white teeth ohh my God I am considering changing my sexuality now . " Hi I'm Alexa, but you can all my Lex "
I took her hand and it was so soft I'm still straight  right?

"Ok let's unpack and go for a little tour around campus" Deborah said
" Deal, I can't wait to get around " Lex squealed looking very much excited I chuckled lightly I think we'll get along pretty well

" Are you coming? " Deborah asked me looking at me
" Yh, sure why not " I said trying to act cool and not to embarrass myself they were two rooms and each had two beds and it was really spacious I liked the interior of the room it was pretty and it looked like someone was already in the room I saw posters and some bags by the right side of the room I dropped my bags on my side of the room and poked my head outside and saw Deborah on the mini couch scrolling through her phone, "Umm Deborah?"
She looked up at me "You know you can just call me Debby right ?"
"Yh sorry, is there another person I am to meet ?" I asked
"Ohh sorry I and my twin got the same room, I'm sure you'll meet him soon" I stared at her ohh God may he not be a jackass please Debby chuckled at my facial expression
"You have nothing to worry about, he's super nice" I let out a sigh of relief she laughed at me," I think you'll be fine"

By the time I was done with the room arrangement Debby and Lex were already dressed up I wore a crop top and high jeans trouser I don't do make up unless it's necessary and I do not see this as necessary so I went bare faced .
