Her. (GirlxGirl)

.Chapter One.

Today is the day that I am finally moving out of my childhood home and into my college dorm. I wake up to my alarm's loud buzzing. I roll out of my bed, with slight excitement and put on my outfit for the day, which consisted of; my pale yellow ruffled off the shoulder dress and my lace up sandals. I hum to a song playing on my phone as I take my hair out of its messy bun from last night, plugging in my curling iron. My phone vibrates against my desk, making me look away from the boxes full of my things.

Good morning babe, I hope you slept well. Can't wait to see you tonight, love you.  Asher was the sweetest and most loyal boy I could've asked for. He cared about me and made it a point that although its tough seeing each other at some points, I'm the only girl in his life. 
Good morning Ash! I can't wait to see you tonight. I hope your classes are good as always, I love you!  I smile, happy with my reply, putting my phone down before I begin to curl my long light brown hair into perfect ringlets. 

Once I finish putting on a little bit of makeup I make my way downstairs, only to see what i see every morning. My dad at the table with a newspaper in his hand, my mother at the stove making us breakfast, and my little brother on the recliner watching whatever little kid show is on. I walk past Cody and ruffle his hair which causes him to make an annoyed noise as he tries watching his show. I give my father and mother a kiss on the cheek before sitting in my usual spot, looking down at my phone seeing the million texts from Raelynn.

Maisyn Leigh Banks your ass better be up. We have to be at the college for noon and its 10:55 and god only knows that you take forever to get ready. Following that were texts of my name, telling me to wake up and hurry before we are late. 
Raelynn, chill out. I'll eat quickly, put the boxes in my car and come get you. I wont take that long. I text her reassuring her that we won't be late. My mom gives us all our waffles and bacon, my little brother's eyes still glued to the television as me and my parents talk. I soon finish eating and go upstairs with my dad grabbing the boxes, putting them in my car. 

"Thank you dad, tell mom I'll call her as soon as I get into the dorm with Raelynn." I get on my tippy toes and kiss his cheek before blowing my mom and little brother a kiss. I get into my small, yet roomy, car and drive the small distance to Raelynn's house. i help her put her boxes of things into my car. Once she tells her mother bye, she squeals loudly "We are officially free women Mai! Both 18, both out of our parents houses and in college?!"  I shake my head and start the hour long drive to NYU. On the way there she talks about all the parties 'we' are going to, all the cute guys she'll meet. I plug my phone into the aux and blare Halsey through the speakers, not to loud but loud enough to cover our voices. 

We get to NYU and get out of the car, we look around and squeal slightly. Since we requested to have have the same dorm, we aren't worried as much when it comes to that. We make our way to the office, and without paying attention I bump into this girl. She's a few inches taller, her bright green eyes meet my grey blue ones sending a chill down my spine. 

"I-I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention.." I manage to stutter out, my eyes never leaving hers. She never said a word, just looked at me with an expression I couldn't quite make out. Raelynn grabs my hand and pulls me in the direction we were walking making me trip over my own feet. I shake my head snapping back into reality. "What was that about Mai?" Raelynn asks me, I just shrug and keep walking to the office. Once we make it, we ask for our dorm keys before going back to my car. We grab a few boxes and make our way to the dorm, by luck I parked fairly close. As we walk to our dorm, we get lots of stares and whistles. After about 20 minutes we finally have all of our things in the room, we lay on our twin beds across from each other, relaxing before we begin unpacking. Our room is a decent size; there's about 25 feet between the beds, a desk at the end of each, a small bathroom with a nice sized bathtub/shower, toilet and sink. It's pretty much a compact version of and two person apartment. "This is going to be so fun Rae." I say to her as i look at my phone scrolling through twitter. 

Hey babe, I hope you made it to NYU okay. I'll meet you at your dorm at 7.  Asher texts me, making me grin like an idiot
Okay Ash, me and Rae are just about to unpack. Our room is B252.  I text him back before getting up stretching. I walk to my stack of boxes, as I was just about to start unpacking there's a knock at the door. I look at Raelynn and walk to the door, opening it slowly revealing the girl from earlier. She immediately goes in for a hug, my body freezes as she just gets closer, she soon stops moving. My face is just inches away from her collarbone, I just look up at her as she backs up quickly, her hand finds the back of her neck, rubbing it awkwardly, "You're not Paisley" she whispers before letting out a small laugh. I look at her face, her eyes slowly trailing up my body. My cheeks turn a soft red, "Yeah, my name definitely isn't Paisley, it's Maisyn, with a 'y'.." I say with a slight giggle, hoping she'll say her name. 

"Yeah, I'm Berklee, with an 'e'." She says mocking me, her voice is raspier than i would've expected, I notice a slight grin on her face as I just kinda stare, lost in my thoughts. Her hair is a dirty blonde shade in a bun on the top of her head, she's in a t-shit and Nike workout shorts. Her style is laid back, and not as girly as mine. Her body is fit, like an athlete, her lips are a soft shade of pink. She's so..attractive. I'm snapped out of my thoughts by a loud coughing, my eyes meet hers as she smiles kindly, "Oh, I'm sorry." I let out a small laugh and look around. The girl across the hall barges out, not in an upset way just, loudly. 

"Berklee, I accidentally sent you the wrong number.. wait, is this the little freshie you we-" the girl begins to say, but she was cut off by Berklee talking much louder, "Paisley! You made me bother the new girls, fuck learn how to type." she rolls her eyes and turns around walking into the room across the hall with the other girl. I stand there confused and in a daze. Am I the 'freshie' they were talking about?  Wait, why was she even talking about me?  I shake my head, pushing those thoughts to the back of my mind as I look at the time on my phone, I have 6 hours until Asher picks me up. I close the door and walk back to the stack of boxes, Raelynn already passed out on the bed. 

I grab my phone and play some music very quietly as I begin unpacking, my mind trying to process what all just happened.
