Chapter 3: Roommate Goals
It's been 2 days since the fight and I have successfully managed to ignore that blondie…. I mean he has managed to ignore me. I'm not scared of him or anything.
Sure you aren't!
Back to more important things. It seems as though the girl who was supposed to be my roommate bailed so I had two options- either a single room or a room shared with two other students. I obviously chose the three-member room. ide rather not be completely alone. The room I had been originally assigned to had kinda grown on me. My parents had come to drop me. That day or rather days are etched on my mind.
I was woken up by another nightmare. It only happens when I am having an influx of any emotion - happiness, sadness, fear, and excitement.
That day it was exciting. finally, after two years of hard work and hope, I w
as going to my dream college to study parapsychology.
I had gotten ready, taking my time. Knowing I wouldn't be home for a while...
'Mother I am ready to leave��� I shout as I go downstairs to meet my parents.
I have a long flight ahead of me.
The town I lived in was called Klenara. It is a small town, the kind where everyone knows everyone. All of us children went to the same high school and most of my friends are going to the same college too.
I never really had a best friend, the closest I reached to finding a best friend was a girl, Scarlet. She left the town when we were 13 and never came back.
'Oh, darling! You have grown so much, I can't believe you are leaving for college already' my mum said with a tear dripping down her face.
Typical of mother!
'Mother, you and father are coming with me. Why are you already crying?'
'This will never be your home again, you will leave me forever Ty'
'No mother, I would never'
Yes, yes I will. But I couldn't say that to her.
On the flight I had written a letter to an imaginary person named nm, I do it when I am having too many feelings. It helps me cope with these feelings.
Dear nm,
Finally, I feel a sense of achievement. I am going to the UK, can you believe it?? I can't either. I am so excited, scared, happy, and sad.
Excited because finally after years of hoping and working towards it, I did it.
Scared because what if I can't cope or can't make any friends. What if I don't find love? I don't know if I want it or not but I certainly have dreamt about someone loving the way Jace loves Clary and Klaus loves Caroline.
Happy because either way, I can be myself here. The new me, not the perfect kid with the perfect life.
Sad because I want to leave so bad. I would never admit it to anyone but you, I want to leave my parents, childhood home, friends, and everything else behind.
I can't fathom the immense joy I feel. I am so happy!!
Take care and miss me.
Love,
Taisa.
We had finally landed after 13 hours straight of staying in the flight. I could smell the difference in the air… not really, but you know what I mean.
Another hour of driving and I had reached the college living accommodations.
My room was amazing. Perfect for two. The place had a small pantry area, two bunk beds, one bathroom, and a table long enough for 2 students to study.
I and my parents somehow found our way to the room.
My parents entered with my suitcases, I had four of them. Two of my suitcases had my clothes, one my books, one food.
Yes, I was a vegetarian and my parents are quite protective so they wanted me to have proper food supplies.
Then had come the parent conversation i was most dreading
'Are you sure you'll be fine on your own?'
My mom asked for the hundredth time
'Yes, mom.'
'Okay umm, darling we will leave you to it, if you need any help we are staying here for a couple of days, hmm?'
'Yes dad, don't worry! I will be fine'
'I will try finding some vegetarian food options for you, yeah?'
'Yes dad that would be great'
Then they both had hugged me tight for a while.
The suitcase of books was the most important, it had all my favourite books/book series. Started reading when my nightmares started at I think the age of 12 or 13. Reading helps me calm myself and control my feelings most of the time. However it also sometimes causes me to have an influx of feelings like when Jonathan Christopher Morningstar from the mortal instruments died, when Tris said "tell him I loved him" etc.
As a whole my first day in the UK was great. If only the same could be said about my first day in college.
Today I was supposed to shift to my new room and I have no idea how I will carry all this.
Sigh
I reach my new room and knock and hear someone call out a 'come in'
I enter the place. The first thing I noticed was the two girls sitting on the bed.
A black-haired girl with beautiful features wearing a bold oversized neon yellow jumper. She looked more petite and cute than the conventional beautiful
The other was also very pretty, more intimidating with bright red, almost maroonish red hair and I think some strands coloured black or dark grey. She wore all black like me.
'Hey! I'm Rose' said the black-haired one.
I smiled as bright as I had in a long time, I think we are going to be great friends. Call it a gut feeling or destiny…. I don't know.
'And I am Belle' she seemed sweet enough too.
'Um are you going to introduce yourself?!' said the black-haired, I mean Rose.
'Yeah, hey I am Taisa but you can call me Ty' I say embarrassed.
'Do you need help?' asked Rose
'With?' I asked confused.
'Carrying your stuff here…. Or are you planning to do that all on your own?' belle said
Oh
'Yeah i guess that would be great!'
So the three of us managed to bring my stuff to a new room. We got to know each other between all that hustle.
'Why don't you tell me something about you guys?'
'Well I am a second-year student, studying medicine' said belle
'Ohhh and I am studying business!!' Rose said, clapping her hands with a wide smile on her face.
'What about you?' both of them said at the same time as if they had just realized that they didn't ask me
'Well first year as you notice and I am studying parapsychology' I was waiting for the flinch or wonder or the weird look but none came on their face.
Rose seemed to be deep in thought while Belle looked so confused. It's like I could see Belle trying to figure out what I just said. How can someone's feelings be so clearly etched on their face!
With a sigh and shake of my head, I went on to explain
'Parapsychology is basically the study of paranormal beings'
No, it wasn't just that but people usually don't understand much of it so after a while I had stopped going into details.
'Oh wow, that's so amazing!!'
Was she being sarcastic?! I looked at her face but all I could figure was awe.
Turns out rose is friendlier and open than Belle but I do get stuff out of her too.
Rose is in a long-distance relationship with a boy named Dan, loves animals, and is a crazy rom-com fan.
I wanted to ask her Why would you want to be tied down in college and which long-distance has ever worked but I am neither close enough nor have the right to question her. I like animals too, they're fine. Romantic comedies are pretty weird though, I've never really understood them so we had a long conversation on how romcoms are a delusion and beautiful lie as I said, and a different reality that gives you hope according to her.
Belle was in love with some guy called Shriyut, a marvel fan, loved to dance and sing, loved nature, and was a clean freak or so she says.
Shriyut was as she says a part of their group of friends to whom she will introduce me to. Rose has already met them. He never asked her out so she never thought more of it.
I asked her to ask him out but she changed the topic. I love avengers, we had fun talking about that. Nature was not something I had any judgments about so no comments there. But the clean freak was very funny. I'm as untidy a person as you can get, being organized is not my forte
Then I told them about me, I was an avid reader, fell in love with all things paranormal since I started reading harry potter and never stopped. I'm a vegetarian and love sports and any kind of co-curricular activity. In my town, I was one of the best in dance on wheels or as we call it artistic skating, badminton player, loved cycling, theatre, drama, writing, debate, etc.
That day we all slept off while talking about random things considering how tired we were
