After closing the door Adriana dashed to the nearest exit and went outside. She felt suffocated, not just by the walls, but by her inability to think for herself, thanks to her mother. Tears threatened to spill, and the last thing Adriana wanted was for someone to see the new girl crying.

She found a remote area under a big tree, and sat down. A few tears managed to get away and slid down Adrianas pink chubby cheeks. The girl didn't try to wipe them, and the droplets formed little wet circles on her skirt. With a sigh she raised her head, leaning on the tree and took another deep breath. Unknown to Aria, two different color eyes were exploring her emotions from afar.

Just like that, don't move. Perfect... You're perfect.

They thought to themselves.

After a few minutes of thinking, Adriana managed to overcome her emotions and dialed aunt Wrens number.

"What's up kid? Did lessons end early?"

"Hi, no. I have a free day today... And my mother's a bitch."

"Tell me something I don't know... But why is that?"

Adriana felt angry again at remembering the chairman's words, but it quickly faded.

"Mom assigned me to a dorm. I'm moving in today apparently."

"What? So you won't live with me? Like, at all?"

"No. I have to move into hell, today."

"...Well good thing you didn't unpack yet. So do I just bring your stuff and I'm free from child support?"

Wrens joke made Adriana laugh, she finally managed to relax ever since getting to the university.

"I'm literally nineteen."

"Yeah, yeah, a baby. So do you want me to bring you your stuff?"

"... Do I have a choice?"

"Nope. Bye bye, see you soon!"

With that Wren hung up, leaving Adriana a better mood. After getting the mood boost she needed, Aria up on her feet again and on her way to find her new home.

Finding the second dorm building was easier than the chairman's office, Adriana was proud of not getting anyone's help and finding it. The dorms were in a forest that was not that far from the university, unlike the learning institute, they all were modern and hidden from everyone's eyes. It was obvious they have been built not too long ago compared to the university itself. There was a good distance between each of them.

There were no cars or anything alive around the house, so Adriana decided to go and investigate her living quarters. After walking through the door, she stopped in dead silence and listened if anyone was inside. The last thing she wanted was to shout for someone.

Being sure that no one was inside, she sighted in relief and took off her shoes. Walking around in the house barefoot was custom for her, as she lived in England before coming to the United States.

Adriana spent a good half an hour picking her room and exploring, finally settling on the biggest one.

I came first, I choose first. Losers get leftovers!

The girl happily hummed while laying on her new double queen sized bed, already planning how she will decorate it.

The bookshelves will be next to that wall. I'll place an armchair with a coffee table next to the window for max main character vibes! A ton of fairy lights and candles will make it cozier, my plushies, pillows and blankets will just go on the bed...

Her train of thoughts was disturbed by a phone ring, she picked it up after seeing it was aunt Wren.

"I'm outside! Come help me get your stuff and bring your new dorm mates, I wanna meet em."

"No ones here but me, so I'm coming down in a sec."

After that Adriana hopped off her bed and made her way to the main door.

Another three hours flew by and all of the boxes were in Arias new room. The sun already started to set, painting the sky a beautiful red.

"Thank you for helping aunt Wren. Do you want to stay over for dinner? I'm ordering pizza."

"No thanks kid, I have some stuff at home to do. You have fun though!"

After bidding their goodbyes aunt Wren left, leaving Adriana in the spacious house. Without a second thought the girl ran up to her room and found the box with her pyjamas. She slipped the booty shorts on and paired them together with a light gray XXL hoodie, finally relaxing after being back in her natural form.

She happily ordered her dinner and found a way to pair her phone to the speakers. Without a care Adriana played her favourite playlist and went off to unbox some of her essentials. After nine songs the doorbell rang.

Ooh pizza!

Adriana smiled as her tummy rumbled, after pausing the music, she happily ran down the stairs to open the door in hopes of getting her food.

"Hello!"

She chirped, only to see that it wasn't the pizza. Instead, in front of her stood three tall and handsome men, all looking down at her.

"Uh, hello?"

This time Aria greeted them with a puzzled look on her face. The men didn't reply, just one sighted in annoyance.

"For fucks sake..."

The one in a black leather jacket spoke, his voice deep and tired. His hair messy and dark dark brown, his eyes were a dark blue that seemed to never end. He rubbed his temples and pulled out a cellphone, dialing a number on it and walking a little further away to talk with someone on the other line.

After watching him, Adriana looked over to the other two, suddenly making eye contact with another guy. He had light brown curly hair and two different color eyes, one blue and one brown. He seemed laid back as he was wearing black jeans and a simple white button up shirt with a few buttons undone on top, exposing his collarbones. Unlike the annoyed man, he wore a cheeky smile on his face that showed his dimples.

"Hello there, we are your new dorm mates. Nice to meet you."

His voice was as sweet as honey, matching well with his soft British accent. Being suspicious about the three random guys coming to her house late at night, Adriana wasn't quick to let them in.

"How do I know you aren't lying?"
