New School, New Life
First night jitters
Haley followed the guy who had been waiting to lead her to the dorms once the girls had said 'goodbye' to their dad and gone into the school. Already she was feeling small and insignificant, "You get used to if fairly fast," the guy said, glancing over his shoulder.
"If you say so," Haley responded quietly as she looked at her surroundings, trying to memorize the way to the dorm so she wouldn't need to ask anyone later.
"So, what's your specialty?" he asked as he stopped walking up the stairs and waited for Haley to reach where he was.
"Writing, both music and stories, as well as playing the harp," she responded once she reached him. "What about you?"
"Writing music, playing bass, and graphic design," he said as he lead her down a long hallway and to a large ornate door. "Here we are," he said as he pushed it open. "Bathrooms and showers are down that hall, common room is right through that door, and dorms are this way."
Haley looked around, much more comfortable with the welcoming atmosphere of the 'house', "Thanks again, I'm sure you had things you would rather have done," Haley said as she started down the hall, searching for her assigned room.
"Hey now, I agreed to take you all the way to your dorm and that is what I intend to do," the guy said, teasingly adding "besides, what guy wouldn't want to spend time in the presence of such a sexy little thing like you."
"Do you even know my name?" Haley asked him, giving him a mildly annoyed look.
"Indeed I do Amy," he said, a smirk on his lips.
"You have me confused for my twin," Haley said softly before she quickened her pace, realizing her room was at the very end of the hall.
"Shit, you and the other girl are twins!, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to get you two confused, really, I'm sorry," he said as he jogged up to her. "I'm Ashley, by the way," he rambled.
"It's nothing new, and I'm Haley," she said softly before pushing the door open and walking in, shutting it behind her. She turned and found that the room held three other girls, her room mates she guessed.
"You must be our final room mate," one said, jumping up to greet her.
"I'm Robin, that's Eve, and over there is Sarah," she said warmly as she draped her arm over Haley's shoulder. "Hope you don't mind, but you're in the bed by the window," she added as she pointed to the last remaining bed.
Haley was happy to see it was a canopy bed with a beautiful blue canopy patterned with other shades of blue paint splatters. "It's fine," Haley mumbled as she stripped the provided bedding off and replaced it with her own.
"So, what's your name," Sarah asked as she began helping Haley with the sheets.
"I'm Haley," she answered, moving to put her clothes into the dresser by her bed. She then set her make-up, jewelry, and other things in the chest by the foot of her bed. Once all her stuff was put away Haley pulled out her music book and began working on a piece that had been floating around in her thoughts for the past few days.
After a few hours of writing Haley put the book away and changed into her sleepwear, set her alarm for the next morning and slipped under the covers. She fell asleep much faster than she had thought she would and was soon lost in a dream.
An adult Haley was sitting out on the balcony of a large house, playing a song on her harp. A pair of small dogs sitting by her feet, listening to her play. Slowly she stood up from the harp and walked into the house, entering what seemed to be the master bedroom and looked at the man sleeping in the bed.
She then left the room and walked down to the kitchen, putting some coffee on before she began making waffles. She placed a hand on her slightly swollen stomach and smiled softly before placing two plates of the finished food on a tray and headed back to the bedroom. She had just set the tray on the bedside table nearest the man when a song caught her attention, slowly it grew louder until she could make out the words.
'I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut, and my weakness is that I care too much'
'Our scars remind us that the past is real I tear my heart open just to feel'
Haley realized the song was her alarm and quickly grabbed her phone to shut it off, mumbling an apology to any of her room mates that might have been awakened by it. She quickly grabbed her uniform and shower things and exited the room, making her way to the other hall where Ashley had told her the showers were.
