His Shoes Are Black, While Mine Are Yellow

Chapter 1 : Yellow.Sunshine.Happiness

"Beth,wake up! You don't want to be late on the first day of Uni." my roommate Judith called out, sitting up on her bed. It was a brown twin size bed with navy blue sheets. I had the same bed but with grey sheets. Ah! My bed was so cozy.

"Ju,let me sleep for another 5 minutes." I replied in all my sleepy glory,pulling my blanket over my head and curling up into a ball. I'm so not a morning person.

"Wake up sleepy head!! It's 8 am already and college starts at 9." Saying so Judith pulled my blanket off of me. That's when realisation dawned upon me.

"Oh crap! It's 8 already ??!!" I asked rubbing my honey brown eyes, looking around the dorm room I shared with Ju. When we'd first moved here 3 days back, it wasn't quite nice looking so Ju and I had customised it as much as possible. It was a grey and navy blue room with two windows covered by white curtains.

"Yes,now get into the bathroom." Ju said with her arms crossed over her chest and I gave her a small,embarrassed smile.

"Okay" I said getting up from my bed and dragging my sleepy ass into the washroom we had in our room. It was covered in white tiles.

Judith Fraser and I have been best friends since we were 14. She's more like a sister.Her family had moved into the house right beside mine. We just went to different schools.
She is the most responsible friend I have.She's been through a lot. Her mum died when she was just 13. She's been so strong.While I.....

"Bethany Rose Jackson, did you fall asleep in the bathroom again?You've been in there for about 25 minutes now." Ju shouted from outside the washroom.

"Nope,almost done" I lied, getting my green toothbrush and toothpaste.

Crap! I hadn't even brushed my teeth.
After I was done with my morning routine from brushing my teeth to taking a bath,
I tied my curly light brown hair into a ponytail and changed into a white shirt and black jeans.

I walked to where Ju was. She was combing her silky brown-black hair and then pulled it up into a messy bun. When she glanced up at me and her hazel eyes went wide in complete horror.

"You are definitely not wearing this to Uni!" She said her hands now on her hips.

"Yes, I am!" I said my own arms now crossed over my chest challenging her to continue.

"No,you're not!" She said walking towards me.

She was wearing a black crop-top and blue ripped jeans.
She had subtle make up on. She dare not try to apply some to my face.

"Ju,please,this is not bad." I tried negotiating. Pleading her with my eyes.

"It's not. It's too plain.But I'll let you wear it because it's 8:40 already." She said finally agreeing.

Phew!
I found my Dusky Citron Vans and put them on. I didn't want to stand out but I didn't want go back to being the wallflower I was either.

Yellow = Sunshine = Happiness.

Our home is Toronto,Ontario,Canada.Uni is in Queens,New York. It's the New York University. I'm glad I have  a really good SAT score.We stay on campus.

Ju wants to become a journalist while I,a Computer Science Engineer.

We locked our room and walked across the campus to where our classes were. The buildings were all white in colour white purple logos and flags and there was a white arch with a fountain in front of it at a distance. It was beautiful.

Once we were in one of the hallways,found our lockers that were pale blue in colour and what each of us had in the first hour, I was starting to get extremely fidgety.

"B,you fine?You're gonna be fine.Relax." Ju said in an assuring tone knowing exactly what was going on with me as she placed a hand on my shoulder.

I am not a social person and am very well aware of it. I get really anxious in situations like this where in I need to introduce myself to other people and talk to them.I just hope I'm not awkward.
Plus,I don't know if I'm really done with that chapter in my life.

"I'm fine." I managed to say. "Thanks"

She nodded and we headed to our classes.

I had Calculus in the first hour which went well. I love Math.

And I actually spoke to people.Which wasn't bad at all.I wasn't awkward.There were these two guys,Zach and Ethan discussing whether Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 was better than Lamborghini Centenario and as I was sitting right behind them, I decided to join in.
Aventador for life.

I don't usually join conversations like this but anybody talking about cars or Marvel brings me out of my shell and I join in.

Zach's straight blond hair was in a mess and his brown eyes shined from under his glasses and Ethan's curly brown hair fell over his blue eyes and his smile could make anybody melt.

But there was this guy who was sitting in the corner, in the front of the class and I don't know what it was but his presence was irking me.
I guess it was because he was staring right at me with his green eyes when I entered the classroom and continued staring since and kept whispering something to the guy next to him,presumably his friend. Creepy.
I don't like this guy.
What was annoying is that he was in almost all my classes.

"What's up with that guy?" I asked Zach and just as he was about to reply,Mrs. Hayes,our Physics lecturer,walked in.

"We'll tell you during lunchtime." Ethan and Zach whispered together.

"Okay,but will you guys sit with my bestie,Judith, and I?" I asked trying my best to sound like a seventeen year old rather than a 7 year old trying to make new friends.

"Sure." They said as they turned around towards the head of the class.

Just then,a tall girl with wavy red hair came running and stopped by the door of the class gasping for air.

"May I get in Ma'am?" she asked.

"You're late.You better have a good explanation for this young lady." Mrs. Hayes answered.

"I do. I couldn't find this class.I'm sorry."with that everybody started laughing and I felt really bad for her.

"Get in." Mrs.Hayes said in a monotonous tone.

Her Hazel eyes searched  the classroom for an empty seat and I gestured her to sit in the empty seat beside mine.
She gave me a grateful smile.

"Hey, I'm Bethany.You can call me Beth." I introduced myself.

" Hey, I'm Emma.Nice to meet you." She said in response.
And that is how I made another friend.

My day was going really well until lunch.
Until....
