Chapter 1 : OFF THEY GO

“I’m finally leaving,” said Scarlett as she pack her things to go abroad.

After she finished packing, her parents said goodbye and she left for college.

“I can’t believe it that I’m really leaving. Meeting new people and going into a new world.” said Scarlett.

“Yeah...but I somehow feel nervous and scared of meeting new people and stepping out into the new world. What if they hate me? What if they bully me? What if no one likes me at all? What if I make no friends?” Leo complained.

“Don’t think too much Leo! Every mistake that people do is think of what the worse could happen and not think of the good. What if you became the popular guy, Leo? What if everyone likes you? What if everyone wants to become friends with you? Look Leo, there could be so many things that can happen to you and you don’t know if it’s either good or bad.” Says Scarlett

“But what if no one really wants to become friends with me?”

“Leo. If no one wants to become friends with you then I will. I already am. We are best of friends. Since we were babies, Leo. So don’t worry too much about what will happen. OK.?” says Scarlett

Leo worryingly replied, “ok..”

They both got off their plane. They finally arrived in Scotland.

“Where is our things? Our suitcase and bags? My jewels and jeans! Did it fell of the plane?” Scarlett panicked.

“Our attendants will bring them to our dorm. Don’t worry.” Replied Leo.

“Ohhh...right. I haven’t travel in such a long time, I forgot where they go. Sorry I panicked Leo.”

“That’s alright. Now let’s get out of here and get to our dorm ASAP. I am hella tired and 1 more week til’ we officially start going to classes.”

Scar ( short for Scarlett ) and Leo finally arrived at their dorm. They chose a mixed dorm so they could stay together. They unpacked everything and was very exhausted. They fell asleep after.

The next day...

“Morning!!” Screamed Leo excitedly.

“Morning..” Scar just woke up yawning.

“Get up, shower and then let’s head out to a cafe for breakfast.”

“But school haven’t even started yet..” complained Scarlett.

“We can go buy the books we need and meet new people after eating...” smirked Leo.

“Ok, ok, fine. Your got me. I’ll be ready in 10 minutes.”

After Scarlett finished getting ready, they went out for breakfast. They had bacon, eggs and buttered toasts. It sure was a delicious breakfast for them. Scar and Leo went to buy all the college books they needed.

Leo finished buying his books first and so he waited for her outside.

“I don’t have enough money to buy the books. Please, just lend me these two books. I promise I’ll pay you back when I have the money. Please. By the time I have the money, the books will be out of stock.” says an unknown voice.

“I’m sorry but we can’t sell or give any books out until we have been given the money.”

“Here.” a girl handed $500.

“Are you sure?” says the unknown voice.

It was Scarlett! She’s the one who handed the $500.

“Yes, I am sure.”

“Thank you, thank you so much.” says the voice.

“Anytime!”

“The name is James and thank you so so much once again.”

“Anyways I gotta head out! My friend is waiting outside. It was nice meeting you James.”

“But—I” Scarlett dash out as James was speaking, “I don’t even know your name yet...”

Scarlett head out, apologising Leo for making him wait.

“You can head to our dorm first. I forgot to buy some books.” Says Leo.
