Thank you so much if you are reading this! Hope you enjoy the story.

Brianna's POV

"Mom, I promise you I'll be okay." I say through the phone, while I manage to help the driver of the cab, get all my luggage.

"Mom, yes, whatever you say. I'm gonna call you later. I just got here - yes I have everything with me!" I groan in frustration. "Mom, bye. Yes I love you too." I hang up as soon as I finish talking. I take a huge breath and stop just in front of the entrance. My hands drop the duffle bags I have been holding and my eyes wonder around the whole campus.

I am finally here. After all the hard work and stressing, I'm here, in (university in california). The day I got the acceptance letter was one of the happiest days of my life, but surely the happiest day for my mom. I remember the image of her screaming and jumping and running all around the house. At some moment I even forgot that I was the one going to college.

"Ms. do you need any help taking this inside?" The driver says pointing towards the rest of the suitcases. "Please." I nod.

After finding out which room I was staying in, I'm on the elevator waiting for it to stop in the 3rd floor. When the doors open, I go through the long hall, which seems to never end and stop in front of room 317. I look for the room's key inside the mess of a bag, that I call a purse. I introduce the key into the handle and the door opens. Before I enter the room, I take a quick look from the outside. To my surprise there were several posters in the wall, shoes, clothes and anything you could imagine laying on the floor. I guess my partner already settled in?

I thank the nice cab driver for helping me get my luggage here and close the door. I lay in the neatly made bed, which I assume is mine because the other one is unmade and has a laptop situated on top of it. I take out my phone and send a text to one of my friends from school. She replies by sending me a picture of her and her roommate. She went to the other side of the states and headed to Boston, Massachusetts. She has always dreamed of living somewhere in the city and what's a better chance of living in the city than going to college there?

Still laying in the bed, the door's handle starts to move until the door totally opened. A petite size brunnette comes through the door in a running outfit with earphones plugged to her ears as she moves to the music. She remains a few more seconds dancing until she finally notices my presence and take off her earphones.

"Oh, hey I didn't knew you where here. Sorry about all the mess, I just started unpacking and trying to organize things. By the way my name is Sarah." She said with a huge smile.

"Brianna or you can call me Bri." I say stretching my arm. "I actually arrived like 5 minutes ago, so don't worry, but yeah, I see you already settled in."

"Yeah, I got here yesterday. I took the right side of the closet, so you can take the other." She sweetly said. "Aren't you hungry?" I nod. "Pretty much." I say exaggerating. "I have been exploring the campus and found out this nice pizza place called Georgio's Pizza. I heard they are really good. Maybe we can go and check it out." She said enthusiastically. "Sure, with how hungry I am, anything would be fine." I say chuckling.

We go walking to the pizza place and I see how people gather around, sharing and spending their time together. Unluckily for me, I didn't have friends to run to or hug. All of my friends had left to different universities.

When we arrive to the restaurant we sit in a booth. A waiter comes and gives us the cokes we ordered. Sarah and I spend the night talking and getting to know each other.

As we get out of the restaurant, a group of boys pass through us. I keep staring at them until one of them look back at me. He has blue eyes and dirty blonde hair and a smirk plastered in his face. As I am about to turn around he quickly winks at me. I turn around and meet with a wide opened eye Sarah.

"When we arrived to the dorm we are going to talk about what just happened." She said with sass. It only takes a few minutes to get to the room after we left the restaurant.

"Do you know that guy?" Is the first thing she asked when I close the door. "I have no idea who he is and why he did that." I say raising my hands in defense. "Well, that one was Niall Horan." She says as if it is a big deal. "And so you know him?" I ask. "Nope, but I do my research." I laugh at her respond thinking she is joking, but apparently she is not, since she maintain a straight face. "Did you really stalked him or something?" I say shocked. "Well, if I am attending this school, I need to know the people I'm going to be seeing every day." She says as if it is obvious.

"So tell me what you found out of Mr. Horan in your research." She quickly opens her laptop and goes to Facebook. She types Niall Horan on the search bar and several people appear, but only one of those is him. "Okay, so it is his second year in (uni in cali), oh la la!" She says almost jumping in the bed. "Guess what." She says like if she is going to have a heart attack. I simply shrug. "He is from Ireland. That's sexy." She says while we both giggle.

I check my phone to see if I have any missed calls from my mother, but thanks God, I don't. When I'm about to unlock my phone, my eyes wonder to the clock. What?! It was already 10:30 pm. Time flies. "At what time do you have your first class?" I ask Sarah. "10 am. Why?"
"Me too. Wait, what are you majoring in?" I ask her. "International business." My jaw drops and she look confuse at me. "You too?!" I nod and we both scream and hug each other. Yeah, I know it's a little childish, but at least I'll have someone I know in most of my classes.

After a little more of stalking Niall Horan, I decide that it is time to sleep, since I don't want to look like a zombie on my first day. Every girl needs her beauty sleep. Before I go to the bed, I brush my teeth, put on my pajama shorts and a big t-shirt and applied an anti-stress facial mask.

Now, that I am laid in bed, almost sleeping, Sarah talks. "What?" I say sleepy. "I asked you if you wanted to take a run around campus tomorrow in the morning?"

"What time?" "I don't know, maybe 7:00 am." I look at her. "Sorry, but I'll pass. I want to sleep all I can, but maybe next time." I say trying not to disappoint her. "I see you are not the early riser type. I am." She say chuckling. "Night." I say as I put on my earphones and hum to the soft music until I fell asleep. I hope tomorrow goes well.
