**Delilah**

"Hey welcome everyone. My name is Cole, and I will be your tour guide", a brown haired and brown eyed, fair skin guy introduces himself with a welcoming smile. He appeared to look around 20 or so...

"Welcome to NYC Art and Design University, I am very pleased to say that each and every one of you standing before me, are talented and unique. And I hope you will enjoy your stay at the Arts university, and unlock your creative side, to show the world your talents and what you were born to do, to shine", he says with a bright smile and some people in our crowd applauded with excitement.

I stood gasping at how huge and amazing this university really was, it was even more wonderful that it looked on the internet as grandma and I first started applying for universities.

Excitement boils under my skin looking and admiring the tall building's surrounding us. Cole, our tour guide has been walking around with a clipboard, scratching names off the list as we went along the tour as the crowd began to grow less as they were placed into their dorm rooms. Soon it's was only Cole and I. Of course I just had to be the very last one.

"And then there was one, you shall be placed at dorm room 101", he states glancing at me with a smile and I smiled back excitedly following him. Assuming he knew where he was going.

We walked through the gardens to get to the other side of the building. I stayed close to Cole not wanting to get loss in this beautiful maze. Like I said this place was gigantic.

"Don't worry you won't get lost, while you have me of course", he says jokingly with a grin causing my cheeks to flush. Just a habit when I meet new people. Nothing personal.

"So...Delilah Rose", he checked the last name left on his clipboard, which was not marked off. "What did you get in for?", he asks out of curiosity, trying to create a conversation.

"I got in for music, singing", I reply proudly as he shoots me an impressed look.

"Nice, I love singing but let's just say I was not meant nor born to be a singer, or even to sing near any glass windows, or sing any where in public, people's words really does hurt", he says playfully pouting, placing one hand over his heart, with a little chuckle laced in his voice causing me to giggle along at his statement.

"Noted", I state with a a small laugh as he chuckled. "What about you?", I asked looking at all the tall trees we passed by. I always had a love for nature. I got it from my mom. A sad smile took over my features as I thought of the last sentence, before pushing it aside.

A small smile stayed on his face as I asked my question, "ohh, thats an easy one. I want to become a filmmaker or film director", he says proudly. "I always wanted to write and produce my own movies you know. To own and create many inspirational movies knowing it was from my own creativity. To inspire others to unlock there inner abilities". I could tell he was really passionate about what he wanted to do and spend hours talking about his ideas. And it warms my heart knowing that he is chasing his dreams. It really takes courage. And that, I admire in a person.

"Well I'm sure you'll create the best film to ever exist on this planet", I answer sincerely causing his smile to widen, if that was even possible.

"Well just promise me that you'll still remember me one-day when you become a famous popstar, traveling the world on tour", he returns with a grin, causing me to imagine the luxury life of a popstar. Just thinking about it got me all bubbly inside.

Finally be stood infront of dorm room 101. "Well it was lovely chatting to you Delilah, I'm sure I'll see you around yeah?", he asks with a grin. "I'm sure you'll come to my rescue if I ever get lost is this wonderful maze", I say with a smile looking around the building as he smirked. "I don't even want to know what you'll do without me", he replys with a grin. "I better get going, I'll see you around", he says before turning and walking away, but not without a quick wave.

I am glad I started my first experience at university on a positive note. Making a friend on the first day and all. I couldn't help but to feel safe around Cole, like someone I actually knew for a long time, and just be myself. Part of me couldn't wait to see him again, I knew I shall be seeing him quit often around campus.

Slowly I unlocked the door with the key I had been given from Cole. I stared at the number 101 on the door engraved neatly through the wooden door, before finally allowing myself to open it, hearing a few hurried movements from behind the door before everything went silent. Was there someone in there?

I felt my heart rate increase, feeling a knot develope in my throat. Quickly I turned my head to see if Cole was still anywhere near, but there was no-one in sight.

With a shaking hand, and a speeding heart beat. Slowly I open the door, immediately being greeted with silence. "Maybe it was just my mind playing tricks on me again", I think to myself. Closing the door behind me, instantly a strive of fear shot through me as I heard a loud thud. Okay It was definitely not my imagination this time.

Slowly my legs begin to move as my eyes roam around the clean dormroom, my eyes stay fixed on a small vase on the middle of a round side table. Wrapping my fingers tight around the vase, a small squeal escapes my lips as the loud thud rings through my ears yet again. My palms start to getting sweaty as I think about a possible intruder in my dormroom. Slowly I walk towards the noice, gripping the vase tighter and tighter as I come into a room, instantly dropping the vase, letting it fell to the floor, shattering into pieces. My head jerks up giving me whiplash, as I heard a scream that had not come from my mouth. Should I just ran out the front door, well I still have a great chance of escape?

"Oh thank goodness someone came", a panting female voice says , sounding relieved.

"Would you m-mind helping me, b-before the couch eventually c-crushes me to death?"? She stutters sounding out of breathe. My eyes widens as I see a girl laying underneath a couch. What just happened here?

Quickly I run to her side, using all my strength to lift the couch as she wiggles herself to freedom. Wow this is one massive couch. And boy was it heavy, I was afraid I might of dropped it on her.

Wiping the dust off my jeans I finally came face to face with her. She was really beautiful with long wavy light brown hair and brown eyes, and milky skin.

She has a wide smile on her face as she stares at me. I couldn't help but to notice this girl had a great amount of interest in fashion, assuming by her gorgeous black high-heels, short black shirt, paired with awhite blouse and a red shiney scarf tied under her neck, reminding me of a flight attendant. Almost matching my black buttoned skirt, black heels and mid-length white cropped top.

"I'm Danielle Montez", she introduces herself, embracing me in a tight hug, as I did safe her life after all.

"Delilah Rose", I introduce as I eventually returned her hug. "Well I guess we roomies".

"I'm just glad I don't have to live alone or that least get stuck with big, sweaty smelly dude", Danielle says cringing with a look of disgust clear in her face.

"Thank you so much for saving my life", she says hugging me again, squeezing the life out of me. Literally.

Raising my eyebrows, "What happened by the way", I ask out of curiosity wanting to know how she landed under a couch.

"That stupid idiot, Ben I think was his name...", she trails off. "His super adorable and offered to help me move in my furniture. But his stupid cellphone just had to ring, he stormed out of here, leaving me stuck under the couch without a second glance", she says with rage in he eyes, waving her hands in the air in annoyance.

"You do now that to supposed to sit on a couch and not under it?", I ask with an amused smile.

"Yeah....I learnt that the hard way", she says nodding her head as we burst into a fit of laughter.
This time it was her turn to raise her eyebrows.

"What about you?", she asks with an amused smile as my eyes landed on where her gaze has shifted, on the shattered glass.

"Oohhhh that....I thought you were an intruder", I say biting my lip.

Danielle let out another giggle, "So you came after me, with a tiny little vase?", she asks out of laughter.

"Yeah I see how dumb that sounds", I say joining in on her laughter. What I was afraid and that was my best option.....I think.

"Let's grab some lunch, we can do the packing out later. This whole death experience made me appreciate food so much more now", Danielle says patting her stomach with a smile.

"Let's go roomie", I say with a smile.

With a smile Danielle turned her head towards me, "you can call me Dani, if you'd like", she offers leading the way.

"My friends in California called me, Dee", I say missing then already.

"Let's go Dee, I won't be getting full on air anytime soon", Dani states with a grin, leading the way.

"Well that was a great first impression", I think to myself as a smile took over my features. This is going to be quit an interesting friendship.

"By the way", Danielle says turning her head towards me. "I absolutely love that black buttoned skirt", she eyes it causing a bright smile to take over my features.
