Emma jumped as her door opened and she turned around to see her room-mate for the first time.All she could think was [i]wow[/i]. The girl in front of her was like some kinda model even in her casual cloths Emma could tell she was really fit.[i]Hay hay stop thinking like that no crushes on your room-mate allowed[/i] she thought. She had enough things to worry about.

Emma was really scared about being so far from home. She had never lived away from her parents before and to be honest was quite dependant on them. hell she could barley work the washing machine. 

There was also the fact that even though Emma acted like she was strong and didn't care what others thought she was still a shy girl and really did want to get a friend or tow... [i]or maybe a girlfriend [/i]she thought to herself but quickly shock that thought off.[i] There is no way anyone will want to date me anyway never mind this girl she is probably straight[/i] Emma thought to herself but still wanted to impress her new room-mate and was rather glad she had already hid her teddy bear under her pillow[i]. No one wants to date a 18 year old who still sleeps with a stupid old bear [/i]she thought . 

Emma was given her bear when she was just a baby, she has always been very attached to it though told everyone she flung the old thing out when she was 9 and thought she was too old for such things. There was allot of stuff Emma thought she was too old for but still loved: video games, comic books, cartoons,lego, stuff toys in general, Disny movies, sweets and most of all the affection she craves. Emma's family were very loving and caring but from a young age Emma pushed away all physical contact from them thinking that as the eldest child she shouldn't need that stuff...however she did. One of the reason Emma still slept with her bear was her need for a hug. She may not want to admit it but she wasn't the big butch girl she made out to be she needed other people. 

Emma had almost unpacked everything by now all that was left was her laptop and some stuff she probably shouldn't have bothered to bring like her Harry Potter book collection. "Oh um hi I'm Emma and no I'm ok thanks"She said shyly not really wanting her to get too good a look at some of the dumb stuff she brought which included some dvds, her drawing stuff and some legos. [i]I mean what 18 year old still love lego!?!?![/i] she thought annoyed at herself. 

After a while she had everything a way and sat down on her own bed biting her lip nervously but wanted to seem strong she made herself stopped and looked at her "So um what do you study?" She asked.
