After our long flight we finally arrived in Madrid and I couldn't be anymore happy. I shut the book I was reading and stood up from the chair to have a nice stretch.

My flight was boring and it would have been more boring if I sat beside Leon. I took my suitcases out and turned to leave when i bumped into a body.

"I'm sorry" I mumbled and shifted to the side to leave but I got stopped by the person. I furrowed my brows and looked up to find Leon then my brows went back to their normal position.

"Here let me help" he offered but I declined it. "It's fine Leon, I can do this" I gave him a grateful smile and moved to the side giving him room to walk beside me.

"Are you like this?" His question snapped me out of my day dream and I looked at him with a raised brow. "Like how?" He smiled amusingly and kept his gaze ahead of him.

"You are so quiet" he whispered and I remained silent for a second. "Cause I have nothing to say to you Leon" he reduced his pace and gave my face his attention.

"If you don't have anything to say, don't you have anything to ask so we can get to know each other?" I sighed and shook my head. "I don't want us to be friends" I told him truthfully and a frown settled on his face.

"Why's that?" I shrugged my shoulders as we continued our journey to the car waiting for us.

"Don't take it the wrong way Leon, you are a nice guy and a friendly person to be with but I know you want us to be friends cause of our parents" my explanation didn't lessen the frown and displeasure.

"Well what's wrong with that?" Everything is wrong with it Leon. It's quite obvious he is happy with the life he is living with his parents, he enjoys dancing to their tune but I don't enjoy it one bit and I'm tired of living my life on mother's terms.

If they want us to get married in the future there Is no way he would disagree with it and I do not want to spend my life with someone I will never love.

Being friends with him is the first step in making their perfect plan come true and I can't let that. I would help him with whatever he needs nothing more and nothing less.

I left his question unanswered as we rode to school in silent. I felt a happy flip in my chest as Westview came into sight.

It's strange how one will be happy going to school but I'm strange and that's what makes me, Andrea. I'll choose to be in school anytime and any day.

As we drove into the gates of the school my memories went back to the first day I came here. I was a ball of anxiety like any normal fresher would be and my controlling mother didn't help my situation at all.

"I didn't teach you to be nervous Andrea Garcia. So kick off those feelings and put up a brave smile like I always thought you" her stern look automatically made my lips stretch into a fake smile making her nod in satisfaction.

The driver helped us get my stuff and instead of giving me an encouraging look and smile, she gave me a warning look that says do not disappoint me and remember all I've told you.

The sudden halt of the car made me break out from my memory lane to have a glance around.

A smile puffed on my lips and I thanked the driver before hopping down with Leon.

We took our suitcases from the trunk and the driver drove away leaving us standing with ourselves and suitcases while Leon admired the school with a smile on his lips.

"It's a nice school" he commented and i agreed with a nod. I gave him the directions to the boy's dormitory building and told him to meet me at the lobby so I could show him around.

I got into the dorm and i couldn't be more amazed by the renovation of the dormitory.

The glowing white light blended with the lilac paints on the wall and the smooth marble tiles.

The hallway was quite busy with the chatters, songs, laughter and exciting screams and squeals from different rooms.

I pulled my phone out to check the number of room my and what floor it was in.

'305'. Good thing it is on the highest floor in case my mother decides to give me a surprise visit like she did in my first semester last year.

I loaded my suitcases with me in the elevator and keyed in my floor number.

Through out my ride I kept praying for one thing; that I get a good roommate like the one I had last year. She was a nerd, we had the same simple life and dreams so it was easy blending with her, I hope I don't get a brat as my roommate.

The elevator bell dung and I took my stuff out and rolled it down the hallway to my room.

From the blasting music that came from behind I could tell my roommate was in already

If my mother was here she would have headed to the management of the school to have me change room cause she'll take whoever it is as a bad influence without getting to know who she is.

I enclosed my palm on the cold knob about to open it when I thought of something. What if they may be doing something not healthy for my eyes? I took my hand back and decided to knock.

In a split second the door flew open and I was greeted by the smile of a girl which I returned. I took in her vibrant appearance which matched with her smile and light green orbs.

Her light blue dyed hair was in a very high ponytail, her bright skin was free of makeup and her pearly teeth was in display cause of her nice smile

"Hi sweetie, you must be Nicole's roommate" I gave an awkward smile since I was yet to find out the name of my roommate, guess I know that already.

"I guess so" I replied in a faint voice and she moved to the side for me to get in. The cool breeze from the air conditioner sizzled my body and I looked around the room.

Two single beds were laying at the corner facing the balcony, a cute white wardrobe hung beside the dresser, a night stand separated the beds and a little study table with a lamp at a hidden corner.

Two other girls were on the bed singing along to the songs that boomed from the speaker and they had the same colorful hair as the one who opened the door for me.

They noticed my presence and stopped their actions and I gave them a shy smile because of the sudden attention.

"Nicole you got a fine ass roommate" the one with a red hair spoke and the half Asian looked at me and smiled.

She walked up to me and i was getting awkward already because I really don't know how to start a conversation

"Hi, I'm Andrea" I brought my hand out but she slapped it away and pulled me into a hug which took me off guard. If mother was here she would have refered her behavior as an ungraceful one

When she pulled away she gave my cheek a light pinch. "You are beautiful" she told me and i blushed at the compliment. "I can say the same for you" I spoke in a low voice making her laugh. "You're so adorable. Anyways I'm really sorry if we gave you a poor welcoming also for decorating the room without waiting for you, if you like we could-- I smiled and shook my head.

"I have no problem with the design of the room, it's beautiful" I glanced around the room loving the pink and white interior that gives the room a soft look.

Her bed was a matching pink bed print, there was a pink furry mat in the middle and her corner was decorated with different posters and pictures of her.

"That's great, I'm glad you like it. Well we'll just leave you to settle down, we'll be at the cafateria" I nodded and they all smiled at me before taking their leave.

I puffed my cheek and sat on a round pink sofa beside my bed to take a short break before i start arranging my stuff.

My things were neatly stored in the wardrobe, my shoes on the rack and my bed was laid. I hung a picture of one of my favorite paintings on my side of the wall and a picture of me when I was still little and picture of my real parents.

I set my books, laptop and all school stuff i needed on the night stand beside my bed ahead of tomorrow.

Satisfied with the look of everything i grabbed a towel from my side of the wardrobe and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

I had a long bath to relax the muscles in my body after the very long flight. All I wanted to do was to have a snack and crash on my bed but I remembered I still have to show Leon around.

I sighed and got out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body. I went to ensure the door was locked before stripping the towel off and getting dressed.

I chose a pair of black leggings and light blue baggy shirt to hide my body and avoid drawing attention to myself.

I knotted my hair in a messy bun with some curls sticking to my face. A dash of gloss and my perfume, I grabbed my phone from the bed and left the room.

I arrived at the lobby to find him waiting patiently. He had changed out of the previous attire now wearing a simple red t-shirt and black jeans.

The moment I got in he snapped his head up and his eyes automatically met mine and I gave him a small smile which he returned.

He came towards me and I quickly apologized for keeping him waiting. "It's no problem Andrea besides I got here not long ago" I bobbed my head in understanding and asked him to follow me.

"Do you want to grab something from the cafeteria?" He asked on our way out and I shook my head.

"Westview is not exactly a small school Leon by the time we are done, I'll be famished" he chuckled lightly and nodded.

"Alright let's begin then" I gave no response and led the way.

"--and this is the basketball arena" we got to the arena and he glanced around with no exciting emotion on his face.

"Don't you like sports?" I asked and he looked at the place one last time before looking at me with a disapproving look.

"I love sports but I just don't like basketball" he replied with a slight frown on his face and I got curious so I pressed on the topic.

"Why's that?" He scoffed and tucked his hands in his pockets. "I think the sport is lame" I stared at the weird dude and the dumb words that flew from his mouth.

"There's no problem if you don't like it because it's your opinion but calling it lame is not right" I may not be a fan of sport but I love basketball cause the guys in the school makes it look fun.

"Yh it is. Most basketballers are people who have no ambition and because they have the skill they think they can make money by being a player unfortunately not all are lucky to get the opportunity to be famous and wealthy.

I also don't like them because most of the guys aren't just basketball players but are lady players. They sleep around, have those freaky thing they call tattoos on their arms and-- they are just disgusting" if I grew up on the streets where I would have learnt how to swear effectively and beat the living hell outta the dumb dude he'd have been lying on the floor in the pool of his blood.

He isn't just a perfect mamΓ‘'s boy but a dumb and judgmental dude. He sounds so much like my mom right now and I wanted to slam his head on the wall.

"I didn't know you were a judgmental person" I had a pissed look on my face and the expression on his face told me he definitely wasn't expecting my reply.

"What do you mean?" I folded my arms and glared at him. "I mean i do not want to associate with someone as horrible as you. Didn't you feel awful judging people who you know nothing about and haven't associated with because I presume mamΓ‘ also chose your friends and the people you associated with in highschool and your previous college.

Listen Leon, i know your parents want you to be a perfectionist but being a judgmental person is already a disqualification in your game of perfection. If I were you Leon, i will learn to appreciate people, if what they do isn't comfortable with you; it's either you walk away or learn to keep your God forsaken opinion to yourself cause not everyone will tolerate your judgmental words and looks.

And if you ask me I think you hate them because you are insecure of how good looking they are.

Before you open your mouth to judge people the next time, I think you should check yourself and hide your flaws to avoid insults and people drifting away from you. I hope you find your way around, good bye" I left before he will get a chance of stopping me to explain trash to me.
