What rushes into my heart and my skullI can't control First day of college. I was surprised I even got in. It's not like my grades were brilliant and I was the most obedient student but hey, I wasn't complaining. I found my dorm. Nineteen, my favorite Tegan and Sara song. I dragged my stuff in. I had a backpack, a suitcase with clothes and my aucoustic guitar. My electric, amp, other acoustic and keyboard were being brought up later along with another suitcase full of books, CD's and posters. The room was big. And an en suite. Not too shabby. There was a single bed, a wardrobe, a bedside locker and a desk and chair. I dropped my suitcase by the bed, left my guitar carefully down beside it and dumped my backpack on the bed. I sat on the bed and opened the backpack. I took out my teddy and put it on the pillow. I took out my photo album and put it in the top drawer of the bedside locker. Then I took out the framed photo of me and Shannon and put it on top of the locker. Man I was gunna miss her. Then I got a text from Sophie:
"What room are you in? Gotta tell you something. X"
I texted back:
"Nineteen. X"
Sophie, my best friend since... forever. How I love her, if only she knew. "Come in" I called when I heard the knock on the door.

"Alex!" I yelled, banging on dorm number 16's door. "Alex! Open up! It's me, Sophie!" I was about to bang on the door again, but it opened suddenly and there, in the doorway, stood a very small, angry looking woman in her pajamas. "Alex does not live here!!"She spat at me before slamming the door in my face. 'Rude much,' I thought, checking the text again. "Oh, nineteen, not sixteen..." I muttered to myself. as I walked further up the doorway and knocked on door number nineteen. "Come in!" I heard Alex voice from behind the door. I let myself in and embraced her in a friendly hug. "Hey!" I squealed happily, It was so good to see her again. "Guess what? Actually don't, you'll take too long;" I took in a deep, excited breath and said "Josh and I had a moment! He kissed me on the cheek! Oh my gosh, I'm never washing my face again!" I was smiling fro ear to ear. "I have never liked anyone so omuch in my life!" I squealed again.

What rushes into my heart and my skullI can't control I felt a horrible feeling in my stomache when she said that. I loved Sophie, and I was going to tell her that soon. But this, this I was not expecting. "That's brilliant Soph!"I faked a smile. I wanted to be happy for her, honestly I did. But I couldn't. So I faked it. "You two would totally make a great couple" I encouraged her. "It's a good day all around! You getting a kiss from Josh, me getting room nineteen! Beats first day of high school!"

I put my face in my palms and let out a small squeal. "Oh my gosh Alex, I can't stop smiling!" I looked at her and took in a deep breath, trying to calm myself. Alex definatly looked happy for me, but there was something in her eyes that made me feel like there was something wrong. I tried hard to forget about Josh for a minute and focused on my best friend instead. "Everything alright Alex?" I asked, sitting on her bed and crossing my legs, ready to listen intently.

What rushes into my heart and my skullI can't control She was seeing through me. Of coarse she was, she's my best friend. "Nothing" I shrugged. "I guess I'm just missing Shannon already" I knew sshe would beleive that. Me and Shannon have never been appart like this before. And it was true, I was missing her.

"Oh," I said sadly. I knew how much she loved Shannon. "Are you okay? Do you want to call her?" I asked, taking out my cell phone. "Got credit this morning; fifty bucks worth!" I smiled and stretched out my hand for her to take it. "You can use it all if you'd like. If it will mae you feel better?" I didn't like to see Alex sad; she had always been my best friend since kindergarten.

What rushes into my heart and my skullI can't control "No it's cool, Soph" I smiled. "She's probably setteling in, doing her own stuff, you know? I'll give her a text later. But thanks" I leaned in and gave her a friendly hug.

I hugged her back, wishing I could help in some way. "Okay then," I pulled away from her just as my stmach gave a violent grumble. I frowned. "Wanna get somthing to eat? Please say yes, coz otherwise im going to be bored all by myself." I said honestly, grinning.

What rushes into my heart and my skullI can't control "Yeah, sure" I picked up my phone and put it in my jeans pocket along with my purse and my iPod. Then we found our way outside. "Where to?" I asked her.

"I'm thinking... somewhere with food?" I joked lightly. I really didn't care where we ate, so long as we ate. It was such a beautiful day out; the sun was shining, the birds were chirping happily, and the grounds were teeming with students enjoying the smoldering hot weather before class starts. It was just a happy day altogether; nothing more nothing less.

"Perfect!" I smiled widely just thinking about it. "As long as theres a cheseburger in it for me, I'm all for it." I was drooling. Yuck. We walked together for a while, laughing and enjoying each others company, until we found a nice little parisian styled cafe on the corner of 52nd. "Here?" I asked, sounding a little hopeful. It was such a sweet little establishment, I couldn't wait to see the inside.

What rushes into my heart and my skullI can't control "Does it sell coffee?" I looked at the menu on the window, "It does, lets go" I loved my coffee. Allmost as much as I loved Soph. Almost. "Can I get a Cappacino and some fries to go please" I turned to Sophie. "What do you want? I'm buying."

"You're buying, eh?" I grinned mischeviously, turning to look at the menu. "Alrighty then, I'll have a latte, a ceaser salad roll, an apple and... this muffin, right here." I pointed at the most scrumptious looking chocolate muffin in the display table before turning to grin at Alex. "I'm buying tomorrow." I said matter-of-factly.

What rushes into my heart and my skullI can't control I shrugged, "Works for me. Make that two of those muffins" I said to the lady behind the counter. We got our stuff and headed towards Central Park. "So much for the cheeseburger"
