A Woman's Flight Chapter 15

 Rebecca wondered where they were all coming from and if they had come from as far away as she had. She wanted to get to know them all, and prove that she could be a different person. Rebecca wanted very badly to make her mark on this campus. She wanted people to know her as a strong, intelligent, and competent young woman who could solve any problem in front of her. She also was really looking forward to meeting her roommate. Rebecca was very sure that she would just love her roommate and she would just love all of her classmates and all her teachers. She was very sure that should do well in her studies as well. She was so busy looking outside and thinking about everything else that she almost didn’t notice her roommate come in.

        Her roommate practically fell into the room. She had so many different bags to try and carry in that she was having difficulty getting them through the door. Rebecca went to go help her, but the girl smacked her hand away and with an indignant smirk, asked, ”Who are you? Are you supposed to be my roommate? You’re not exactly what I had hoped, but I guess you will have to do. And this room is really small too. Do you really think we can both fit in here? You think they could have actually tried to make these rooms bigger considering how much we are paying for them.” Rebecca could already see that things weren’t going to go quite as she planned. Her roommate was about Rebecca’s height, but quite a bit smaller and a lot more blonde. She had on a plaid sweater jacket with a white t-shirt underneath and a plaid skirt with white knee high socks, with plaid tennis shoes to match. She had a gucci bag and was trying to balance her bag while at the same time trying to balance the rest of her luggage that she had carried along as well.

         Rebecca had always secretly hated these type of girls growing up. She wasn’t really big, but she wasn’t slim either. Rebecca was what you would have called curvy. She was about 5’,8”and was about a size 14. She was actually very pretty, but these types of girls had always made her feel like she wasn’t good enough. Now they had to go and move her in with one of them. She almost wanted to curse the universe or God or whatever for her luck, but she figured that she might as well make the best of it. She tried to put on her most cordial southern smile and stuck out her hand and said, ”My name is Rebecca. How about you? When Rebecca stuck out her hand the girl almost looked at it like she had wiped her nose on it first, “My name is Ashley. I really hope you don’t expect me to sleep on the bottom bunk, especially considering a girl of your size. That would just be the end of me.”
