6am

*Alarm screaming*

God i hate waking up so freaking early, This has got to be the worst thing about life.

I rolled out of bed in a huff, storming over to my alarm

"I heard you the first three times!" i exasperate.

I can hear my roommates shuffling around in the apartment, I'm so fortunate to have such good roommates, Key has been my best friend and biggest supporter since i moved here, his sister Scarlett stays with us too she moved in a couple of months ago to help lighten the load of rent. She's not my biggest fan in all honesty but we still get along, Key is an Art Major at Crescent College where i start today; I'm majoring in Agriculture, and minoring in Psychology. My other classes are English, Creative writing, and Athletic training, right now i work as a personal trainer at the gym down the road during the evenings and at night i do Burlesque type routines at an underground bar down the road, and honestly i love it.

As i get dressed i yell "KEY I NEED YOU'RE HELP"

I was siting in a mess of clothes on the floor confused of what to wear. The door opens to show him dressed and ready to go looking polished as always, i envied his ability to be ready and dashing all the time; As he looks at the mess on the floor i hear a quite sigh as he goes through my things and proceeds to throw a dress and some streakers at me.

"It's your first day, dress to impress and fix your hair its a MESS" he says with groan

He walks out. I quicky threw the navy blue sundress with white daisies on along with the white vans he threw at me, looking in the mirror i realize he was not wrong my hair was indeed a mess. I tamed my curls to smooth ringlets and put on a natural makeup look, i grab my bags and walk out the door into the living room where Scarlett had already made breakfast. I poured a cup of Coffee and grabbed a protein pack out of the fridge before running towards the door;

"You do know that you can eat some of the breakfast i cooked right?" i heard Scarlett state in an annoyed tone,

but before i could even say anything Key responded for me " She does not eat breakfast it makes her sick early in the morning" I flashed a quick smile before walking to school early to do my check in,

I don't see why she's so annoyed with me all the time tbh..

As i got there i noticed a group of people standing by vehicles in the parking lot, i ignored the whistle i heard coming from over the as the people laughed and made snarky comments

"looks like we've got some more fresh meat" i heard one retort in a joking tone.

I tried my best to act like i couldn't hear them, but eventually it was inevitable when a 6'4 tan skinned guy with dark messy hair stepped in-front of me;

"Hey new girl, we've been yelling for you" he said casually. Letting out a annoyed sigh,

" I know" i replied defeated by his presence,

"You should pay attention to us, being seen with us will make your school life way easier you know" He said as he crossed his arms.

Finally i look up making eyes contact with honey brown eyes and flashed him a sincere smile,

"I'm Sorry i don't really have the time right now, maybe later?" I said sweetly

He seemed taken aback for a second by the look on his face. I could tell he was thinking about what to say for a minute.

"Damn i wish all the girls here looked as good as you I wish they were as nice too" he mumbled

"Barrett quit harassing the nerd and get your ass over here" I heard yelled from the group of guys.

I didn't even care to look over at the group i had no want to....Whoa...My mind trails off when i see a guy running over and grabbing Barrett's arm, casually pulling him away.

Whoa.. He's Gorgeous..

"I'd appreciate if you didn't stare four eyes" i heard bluntly said as i checked back into reality,

"Oh! I'm Sorry i zoned out for a minute but it's okay I didn't see anything worth looking at anyways" i replied smiling sweetly knowing damn well i was lying.

"Oh? Really Now?" He said letting go of his buddy crossing his arms amusement dancing on his gorgeously tanned skin. I could see the disbelief in his hazel eyes,

" ALICE" I heard from behind me, as i turned around to see Key running up and Scarlett walking slowly behind him;

"Nothing worth looking at huh.." i heard mumbled behind me,

"Maybe you aren't her type Griff?" Barret retorted quietly,

"Key Bro you know this girl?" I heard Barrett say surprised to see him running to me,

"Yeah Bare, this is my roommate Alice, the one i told ya'll about?" He said confused as to why it matters.

"Uh yeah but you didn't say she was actually kinda hot?" Barrett replied in a whiny tone,

"Not like it matters, She wouldn't mess with any of ya'll anyways" Key snorted back,

"Hey Griffin, and yeah Barrett I'm pretty convinced she's a nun at this point" I heard Scarlett reply saying the "Griffin" seductively, Which I'm guessing is the guy standing beside Barrett, he ignores her comment "Hey nerd you really think there's nothing worth looking at over here?".

OMG Is he still going on about that??

"Are you a nun?" i heard Barrett say in a shushed tone after Griffin's comment ,he looked at me puzzled

"Far from it, I just haven't met someone worth my effort" i responded abruptly walking away from the conversation.

I heard Key say and i was walking away "She's actually pretty wild when you get to know her she's just not a fan of people, specifically guys"

The rest of the conversation fades away as i walk off.

Today's going to be a long day..
