'New city New love' Well thats what my mother always said, I don't travel much but I moved to London recently and its loud and busy. My mà stayed in China but I wanted her to come with me. I've started a new school, university to be exact. I have to pay for dorm living but my mà has it covered for the first few months still I have a job and im stable. When I arrive to the school its loud and there's tons of people. I'm quite an out-going person, I've fit in pretty much everywhere I've been, so I don't have a problem. I don't have any lectures till Wednesday but its good to settle in for a few days. Its 11am on a Monday most people are going to lectures. I scan the groups of people I see, a group of alternative boys and girls being screamed at for smoking by a small girl with glasses and a blazer. Who would wear a blazer in this heat, I think to myself. I walk through the main room where the office is, there's atleast 200 people waiting in this room with an instructor whom talks about the school and how everything works, people disperse as he begins to say the same stuff again for more people that arrive, a boring job I assume but he seems happy. I see a boy with a bunch of lads at one end of the room, they look like they're been at this school for a while, they look like trouble. I know ill bump into them someone and I try to pass it by my mind. They're laughing and cat calling the male teacher, he gives them disapproving looks every so often then continues his speeches. I notice a boy from the group staring at me hes quite small but he seems to be their leader, I guess every school is the same. When he notices me stating he turns back to his friends and they all start pointing at me. They all begin to speed towards me so I disappear among the crowd. And they seem to look for me. The day passes slowly but I end up at my dorm by 7, 9 curfew. I know for a fact that won't stop party's, although I don't think this will be like the movies I watch. I take a rest on my bed after I've un-packed my belongings. Just as curfew hits a boy walks through my door, I realise who it is. Thankfully he doesn't speak to me he lies down and drifts off to sleep. Well thats was nice introduction. When I think of it he's quite handsome and muscular to say he looks about 5'3. And he's my roomate, I try not to go into utter shock and I drift off to sleep slowly. I find myself waking at random points in the night. And around 4am I see him playing games on his phone, fully dressed and his hair wet from a shower. I can't help but stare but then he looks over to me and I go bright red.

New kids this year, well there is everywhere but every year the kids get more intolerable. Earlier we watched the speeches (we meaning my group of friends) it was funny as they all cat-called the director. To my surprise I had one of the boys in the group of newbies staring at me, his face was quite camp, but we had similar style - sounds rude if I start it out loud. As I'm walking to my dorm to rewind off the day -after curfew might I add-he was my roommate. Not many people get first year roommates, I wouldn't say it made me lucky just a bit pissed I guess. He didn't seem to be bothered that I got in and went straight to sleep. Days are stressful when all I have is my mates screaming 24/7 I like them, but they're your 'average chav' of England. I would say I'm the same, but I'm not a rude as my friends. It's around 2am and I wake up, I'm always struggling to sleep. I decide to scroll on TikTok on my laptop, volume as low as possible as to not wake the newbie. I can't help but gaze at him while he sleeps, its quite hypnotizing. Suddenly, he turns over eyes awake and stares at me, we don't break eye contact for a while until I turn over and pretend it never happened - strange. As I woke up, he was already for school and was doing something on his laptop. I take this opportunity to make some friendly conversation, I need to know him if he lives with me.

"The names Jack, what's yours?"

"Oh, morning names Lee"

We both sound extremely awkward, and he notices it too. He moves his head back to his laptop, and I jolt myself out of bed, yawning. Pull on a pair of trakies and a Nike top, I turn myself towards Lee to see what he wears, baggy cargo pants, an Adidas shirt and a Green Day tour list jumper. I've listened to Green Day and I like it (not something I'd choose to listen to on the regular though).

"Green Day, I like it, you look good today as well" I see his face go bright red, he must just not be used to compliments.

"Oh ye thanks, you look good too" He doesn't look over when he says that, so I just assume he's trying to seem, I look over his shoulder slightly to see what he's doing - course work? On the first day how does he -. I stand there confused, and I just leave it and get my stuff ready. "What lesson you go at 10?" I say hoping he's in one of my lessons, nice to have a new friend, if that's what he is. "English Lit i think." I smile a bit before I then say, "Same

We can walk together."I see him turn an auburn color again, he might be sick I think.
