"But... Look around you. I can see loads of the kids I dropped off here. All of them surrounded my loving and supportive friends. And judging by that song you were singing along to in the car, you defiantly won't be bottom of the class."
I felt my checks burn bright pink. I had a habit of loudly singing along to my iPod.
"Can I just ask. Do you know what song it was?"
"Something about, another mountain and moving it."
I though for a minute, then it clicked. "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. Ok, honestly I don't like her. Her whole style is so cheesy, but his song is so true. The lyrics just fit so well.
I turned to the driver.
"So were do I go from here?"
"I will arrange for your bags to be taken up to your room. You should go to the office and pick up all the information you need."
"Ok. Thank you."
"You'll be fine. Now, off you go."
I turned towards the school. I felt like I wanted to scream. Of both happiness and pure fear. I mentally shook myself. Just go for it. As I was making my way towards the massive oak front door, I could feel eyes on me. I knew why. Everyone was meant to arrive at school nearly a week ago. I was the stray. The lyrics of the climb were running through my head.
I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa
I reached the front door, turned the handle, then pushed. The door shuck but didn't open. I pushed again. Just more shaking and clanging. I knew people were still staring at me. Please just open! I tried one last time. Why the fuc.....
"Excuse me. Do you want some help with that?" a male voice said from behind me. I turned around to see the cutest boy ever! He was about my height and had very pale blond hair and shocking blue eyes. He had very chubby little cheeks. If I hadn't know this was a college I would have thought he was 14 at the oldest.
"Yeah thanks."
I stepped back so he could get to the door. He simply turned the handle and pushed it open. He looked over at me with a triumphate smile.
"How did you do that." I asked a little shocked.
"What??? Open a door?" he teased.
I am such an idiot. I just asked the first person I just met how he opened a door!
"Ummmm..." I mumbled
"I turned the handle the right way." I felt my cheeks go red for the second time today.
"Oh. Thanks. I guess I'll see you later."
He chuckled slightly. "Yeah, see you at dinner."
I started to walk into the school.
"Oh by the way. I'm Harry. I think your roommate is my sister. Just so you know she can get a little....hyper at times"
"Ok, thanks"
He winked at me, then walked back to his friends. He was far too cute! A reminded my a good looking chipmunk. Is there such things as a 'good looking chipmunk'? Jez, I have a problem!
I notices a glass window in the wall. I went over and tapped on the glass. No answer. I tapped again, a little louder this time. After a couple of seconds a small ageing women shuffled over and slid the glass panel over.
"What?" she demanded whilst pushing her glasses up her nose.
After 10 minutes or so trying to explain I was new here I finally got all the information I needed. Deaf old bat!
On top of the papers I'd just been given was a quick information guide to this evening.
Lucy Greenwood:
Arrive at school
Get information
Meet room mate
Go to dinner
Free time
Back to dorms
Lights out
Arrive at school. CHECK. Get information. CHECK. Meet room mate. No.
I guess that's what's next then.
I walked though two double doors and into the main body of the school. Suddenly I was attacked by a pair of arms. Finally the owner of the arms stepped back. A fair haired girl and bright blue eyes was smiling, no, beaming at me. She was about the same height. She looked exactly like Harry.
"HI!" she squealed.
"Hey"
"I'm Sarah, your new roommate!"
