Starstruck

Journey thought she was going to be sick, she'd just gotten off the plane for the first time. She looked at her paper work and had just found her dorm room she took a deep, nervious breath. She looked down at her feet, she'd worn random flip flops and Holister jeans and a blood red shirt that said, 'Bite me, I dare you.' Her hair was naturally straight, her black hair was past her shoulder but not yet past her elbow. Her eyes shined a bright almost neon green, and she was as short as ever.
Her hand clasped the doorhandle but she wasn't sure she wanted to open it, she turned it and smiled, smiling wasn't a great talent of hers. One bed was already messed up, the other one was bare, which meant her room mate beat her here. She didn't see anyone though until she saw a guy come out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and a blonde giggly girl behind him.
"Oh." The girl said. "Brad, um, just uh get dressed." She zoomed out from behind him and slammed the door. "Hi, I'm Katy. Your new roomie." She smiled.
Journey's cheeks burned with embarassment.
"I'm Journey and, um, hi. I'm meeting someone, I'll catch you later." With that Journey ran off. She raced down the hallway and outside where it was sunny and people were walking around. Some guys were playing football, others were just laying on the grass and others were partying. She decided she wanted to explore a little bit, meet some new people, make friends or enemies, she justed wanted to fit in.

Colton ran down the feild as a friend of his threw him the ball. He looked up and then fell forward running into someone. He jumped up quickly looking at the girl he had run into. She was laying on the ground. He grabbed the ball tossing it to another one of the guys then squatting next to her. "You ok?" He asked.

"Ya." She said sitting up and brushing herself off a little. "I'm fine, thank you."

"SOrry bout that, I wasn't paying attention." he stood up and offered her his hand. She looked at it for a second and then took it. He helped her up and smiled. "I'm Colton Rose, Colt for short."

Journey blinked a couple of times.

"Journey, hi. Sorry. I should have watched where I was going. New, of course."

"So where were you head, why such a hurry?" he smiled helping Journey to her feet.

"Long story." She smiled. "You don't want to know."

Colt laughed. "Who said I didn't want to know, I've got nothing else to do but play football with the guys. That gets old after a while." He smiled.

"Just roomy problems." She smiled.

"Let me show you around." He smiled walking towards the middle of the campus.

"O-ok." She said walking after him.

"So, room mate problems. Let me guess, she's either slutty, a neat freak, or takes up the whole room. I'm placing my bet on the first one." He smiled.

Journey

"You right, wow, you must know her." Journey wasn't going to twist her features so she kept smiling at a minimum.

"Well it's a pretty big college." He laughed looking back at her.

"You have friends here." She said looking around. "Just got here, a little jet lagged. I don't really know anyone here."

"So are you a big party person?" Colt asked her.

she shrugged. "I can party, and I like to have a good time, but sometimes I don't really like it. So are you here on a sports scholarship or what?"

Colt:

"Sports?" He laughed. "No, the last thing I would want to do with my life is be a pro player." He smiled.

"What are you here for then?" She asked as she caught up and they walked side by side.

"This and that." He smiled. "Buisness, mostly, and then a minor in law."

"What do you want to do that you would minor in law?" She asked.

"Run the family buisness, and it's not waht I want to do, it's what I have to do." He smiled. "What are you here for?"

Journey

"I really, really don't know. I guess same about the little of this little of that. I can play the piano, but I want to be a social worker." I shrugged. "It was a last minute thing. I was going to be a dancer, but I kind of gave that up when I was five years old." Journey joked.

They walked around for some time just talking about their pasts trying to get to know each other. They'd avoided the subject of why there were here and if they were single or not. They talked about books, movies, foods, places, and even how they got their names.

"So what buisness does your family own?" She asked.

"Several different resturants and then there are several different factories. It's a long story." He smiled shrugging, he didn't want her knowing he was rich, he wanted a real friend. Not someone who was hanging out with him just because he had money.

"That doesn't sound fun." She laughed.

"Oh, it isn't." He replied.

"So why are you takign over it?" She asked.

"Cause I don't have a choice." He replied wtih a smile. "It's the family buisness."

Journey

"Well you really can't make anyone make you do something they don't want to." Journey could actually believe it but she was actually smiling, like a sad but sure evenough a smile.

"I know." he nodded, "but it's not like I have much a choice."

Journey looked around. "I wonder if we have any of the same classes." She said turning to him. "Now I don't actually feel so alone. At least I know one person now."

Colt smiled and nodded. "I wish I had someone to talk to my first year here. It's really not that fun to go a year with out good friends." He smiled. "I'm sure we might have a few classes together." He looked around and laughed.

"What?" She asked.

"It's dark, the day flew by." He smiled. I didn't notice time around you. He thought looking at her. "I better get you back to your dorm. This might be a pricy and nice school, but it isn't safe."

Journey

"Thanks." Journey was still smiling, she didn't feel like herself, she never smiled for more than 10 minutes. "For everything."

"Except for knocking you over." he laughed.

"Well, everything happens for a reason." Journey looked at him. "This is mine, and Katy's I think I'm going to change rooms she's always um, busy."

"Good luck." he smiled. "See you around?"

"Yeah, definatly." She smiled.

**it can uh be the next day (: I'm going to wait when I have more time, like tomorrow when I have her switch rooms**

**Ok**

Colt walked back to his dorm and threw his shirt on a chair. He looked at the bed across from his. Another year without a room mate, that was fine with him. He laid down on his bed after taking a shower and thought about his day. It had been pretty eventful. He closed his eyes falling asleep. Tomorrow would be a long day.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next day was a start up day, they would get lists of books they needed and so on so forth. Getting scheadules, and sylabysis. He got a shower and then walked back out towards his first class his lap top swung over his shoulder. He walked into his first class yawning a little as he did.

Journey

Katy and he friend, were making too much noise for Journey to even close her eyes. She'd spent her night in the bathroom, Journey also hoped that the other nights weren't going to be as horrible as this one.

___

In the morning Journey was in such a hurry, she'd woken up 20 mintues late and skipped breakfast she was out the door as soon as she could. Katy and her friend were already gone. Journey ran into her class, not disturbing anyone. She quickly sat down.

***Time skip to lunch time, cause they won't have classes together, but maybe english and math in the afternoon. I have to go soon, if not after this post***

*Lunch*

Colt walked to the cafetria and grabbed some food sititng down at a table. He saw Journey and waved her over. She came and sat down with a smile.

"How was your night?" He asked with a smile.

"Horrible." She yawned. "I think I might get a new roomy, but I don't know if this is just a one night thing."

"I'm sorry, it must stink to have a roomy like that. I'd yell at them." He smiled

Journey

"Is your roomy a geek or something?" She asked picking at her lunch, she didn't really eat much.

"No, um. I don't have one." he laughed.

"Really?" Journey could help but ask.

"Yeah, I really don't have one." he smiled at her.

"Well, at least no one keeps you up at night." Journey shrugged. "So are you going to visit your family this weekened?"
