This is it. University. Who would’ve thought that I, Gabrielle Lawson, would go to Hollyoaks as a university? I do like the village Hollyoaks, but it’s not exactly an ideal place for a university. I could be completely wrong though. It could be brilliant. I’ve heard so many good things about it. I just hope I meet someone… Nice. I can’t go to a university for 3 years and not find anyone I like. “Hi, Gabrielle Lawson.” I told the receptionist. She looked through a big stack of keys and pulled out mine. “Room 105, main building block.” She said sternly. Woh, she really must be bored! “Thank you!” I reply, taking the key off her. This is it. The start of something completely new! I drag my suitcase out of the office and head to the stairs. There’s a sign.
Rooms 1-50 ground floor. Rooms 50 -100 Go up Rooms 100-150 Go up Rooms 150 – 200 Go up
Up I go then. Oh I’m so nervous, and excited. I can’t wait! New place, new people, new world! I run up the stair case a little too fast. Like my parents always told me when I was younger, don’t rush, be calm. But I never listened to them, and obviously I still don’t! As I reached the top step my suitcase decides to spin around and I end up dripping over it, twisting my ankle on the way. “Ow, ow, ow!” I scream. I sit with my knee up to my face, gripping my ankle, fighting back the tears. This really is a bad start. I’m so glad I’m wearing my skinny jeans and not my skirt! “Are you alright?” I hear an Irish boy shout from the bottom of the stairs. I wipe away my eyes and try to make sure I look perfect. Then I look at him. Oh my god! He’s got make-up on! He’s wearing a skirt! This must just be a practical joke for fresher’s week. I really don’t want to get involved with whatever it is. “Yeah, I just tripped.” I say, I try standing up. “Ow!” I wince. “You’re obviously not ok.” He laughed. He helped me get up. “Thanks, I’ll be fine. I just twisted it.” I told him. “You sure?” “Yeah. Definitely.” I smiled at him, trying to reassure him. He still didn’t seem certain, but I think he had better things to do then wait around for my ankle to feel better. “Well, if your certain.” He smiled at me. He had a very nice smile; beautiful glowing white teeth. “I am.” “Ok, well, I’ll see you around – umm?” He looked at me, questioning my name. “Gabrielle.” “Gabrielle. See you around.” He began walking away. “Don’t I get to know your name?” I shout after him. He turns around. “If I ever see you again, yes.” He turned around and walked away. If that was some sort of pick up line, it really didn’t work. He seemed nice, but he really is not my type of person. I try walking on my ankle. It still hurts a bit, but I can move it at least.
When I finally finish climbing the many stairs, I’m left to find my flat. Ok… “100, 101, 102, 103, 104 and –” I look around the corner. 105!!! This is my new home for the next 3 years. 3 whole years! I get the key out and go to open the door. I put the key in. It wont turn! I’m there for ages trying to turn the key, looking like a fool, with my pink spotty suitcase lying at my feet! “Try pushing the handle down!” A random person laughed as they walked past. I felt like such a fool. My face went bright red and I practically ran into the flat. It was already unlocked. How come I don’t try these things? How did I get into a university if I don’t even push a handle down! I lift my suitcase into the main room and see a sign on the wall.
FRESHERS!! TAKE FREE 3 ROOMS AT THE END!
Ok… So there’s 3 rooms at the end that are free. Helpful. I walk down the small corridor and pick a room. I’m first to arrive. I get the biggest one with a nice bed and a decent size desk. This would be perfect. I just stay sat in the room for a while when I hear a bedroom door open. “Hello?” It was the Irish bloke! Oh my god. I walk out slyly. “Well fancy seeing you here.” I replied. He turned around and saw me. He then leaned back on his door, arms folder. “Gabrielle.” He nodded at me. “No name” I said, in the same tone, also nodding. He laughed. “Would you like to know my name?” He asked. “I think I have the right to.” I laughed. “Ok, I’m Kris Fisher.” He replied. He was still wearing girls clothes. “And the clothes?” I asked. He rolled his eyes. “I wear girls clothes.” He told me. I burst out laughing. It was a joke, right? “You got a problem with that?” He looked angry. “That was a joke, right?” I asked, I stopped laughing. “I’m sick of people taking the micky out of me because of what I wear!” He turned around and slammed his door shut behind him. Maybe things weren’t starting off good…

Everything was so different. New Place. New People. New Home. New everything. Living here was going to be great. Problem was i had no clue where i was going. Looking around all i could see were pubs and resturants. No College. No one. Nothing. I must look so stupid standing here with a massive big bright blue spotty case looking about. Lost. I decided to start walking but knowing my luck i would be going the completely wrong direction. Finally Someone.
L: Hey, Could you please tell me how to get to Hollyoaks Community College Please? .: That way
I laughed to myself. I was going the right way. He must have thought i was a complete freak.
L: Thanks ...
I didn't know his name but i didn't want to ask.
.: Justin.
L: Bye
J: See you ..
L: Lorna
I smiled. At least i knew where i was going now. SU Bar. Must be getting close now.
*Tearing Noise*
Great. My case. Ripped right along the bottom. Always happens to me. I was convinced that there was underwear of something hanging for the back of my case because everyone was staring at me but i wasn't going to stop and check. Registration Office. Finally.
.: Name Please L: Lorna Wilson .: 105
She handed me a key over the desk.
L: Thanks. Em .. Where is that? .: Out the door and to your left and up to the third floor L: Thanks. Is there a lift? .: No
I just realised how spoilt that sounds. Out the building and to the left. As i went through the door there was a really loud click. The case again. Wheels gone. Three flights of stairs to climb with a broken case and just to make things worse all of my underwear is falling out the bottom. Best day ever. Not. Top of the stairs, Eventually. With 3 bras in my hand. Great first impression. ok, 101 102 102 104 ... 105. Im here. I got my key out of my pocket and opened the door there was a girl standing there smiling and trying not to laugh. I smiled.
L: Hi, I'm Lorna G: Hey I'm Gaby ... em what happened to your case?
I laughed.
L: got a bit wrecked coming along the road. Are you new too? G: Yeah i arrived a little while ago L: Have you met any of our flat mates yet? G: Well .. Yeah
She looks dissapointed about that i was confused and wanted to know why but i was to scared to ask.
G: Well its a guy L: Yeah .. G: He has a gorgeous smile L: Yeah .. G: But he wears womens clothes L: Are you not ok with that? G: No i'm fine with it. Its just i thought it was a joke for freshers week, I said and he took it the wrong way and stormed off L: Oh, Im sure he'll be ok later.
We sat there for ages talking. I liked Gaby she makes me laugh.
L: I have to go unpack G: Wana hand L: Well if you want G: Got nothing else to do L: Uh Thanks!
She Laughed. I had only known her for an hour but we were like best mates already.
Lorna seemed like such a cool person, she was so funny and nice. We just got along straight away! We were just talking normally and then I looked at the clock and it had been an hour! She realised that she should go un-pack, so we spent another hour talking just doing that! I have a feeling she’s going to be fun. We still have one more new flat mate to meet. I hope he or she is nice. “So, who do you reckon is going to get the last room?” Lorna said. Omg! Is she a mind reader? “No idea. Hopefully either a fit lad or a nice girl!” I made her laugh; which is strange as I never do at home. “Better than Kris, then?” She asked, giving me a weird smile. Kris sill hadn’t re-appeared from his room. He popped his head out to say hello to Lorna, but that’s it. “Anyone would be better than Kris!” I laughed, she looked at the floor. I looked at her confused and then I heard someone clear their throat behind me. I knew it would be Kris. First impressions are always the worst impressions. I turned around slowly. “Hey… Kris…” I gave him a smile as if to say sorry, and then walked off. “Hang on, Gabrielle.” He replied. Lorna burst out laughing. She didn’t call me Gabrielle, I hadn’t told her to call me that. I guess first instinct was to say my real name. Kris looked at Lorna and she stopped laughing and smiled. “Sorry.” She stood further away and began un-packing again. “Gaby.” I told him. “Sorry?” “Call me Gaby. You know? My name.” I said loudly, as if he was foreign. “I thought you said-” “Yeah, Gabrielle, but I prefer Gaby.” I turned around and began walking away. “Gaby!” He called. What the hell does he want?! “Yes?!” I sigh and turn around. “What did you mean by ‘anyone would be better than Kris’?” He looked angry and upset at the same time. I rolled my eyes. “Nothing.” “Didn’t sound like nothing.” “Well it was, ok?” “No it’s not ok. I don’t want you laughing behind my back –” “I’m sorry? Laughing behind your back? Hardly!” I laughed. “Lorna, back me up on this. Did I at any point take the micky out of Kris and then laugh?” I looked at her. She looked uncomfortable as all eyes were on her. “No you didn’t.” She finally said. “Thank you!” I turn around and head off to my room. “Well you obviously meant something by it! You were judging the way I look!” Kris yelled. “Judging? I only just met you!!! How can I judge you?!” As soon as I said that, an argument broke out. Yell after yell of ‘you meant something by it’ and ‘Just shut up’ and Lorna screaming to get us to shut up. “Woh, have I walked into the wrong flat?” A young girl asked. She was very pretty. Me and Kris both immediately stopped arguing. “Sorry, it’s just her.” Kris retorted. I rolled my eyes. “Hey, I’m Gaby.” “Gaby.” Kris mimicked. I sighed. This was not a good start. “Hey, I’m Natalie. So, after you’ve finished arguing, would one of you show me where my room is?” Natalie said. Kris stormed off into his room, where I followed. This was not over. Before I went in I heard Lorna. “Don’t worry about them. Your room is just there.” She pointed to the spare room. “Thanks.” “No problem.” I smiled at them both and then stormed into Kris’ room. ________________________________________________________________________________________________

Over an hour they had been in there shouting at each other. They both liked each other it was so obvious but neither would admit it. Natalie and I were sitting in the living room reading magazines and secretely listening in. I wish i knew what they were saying. I knew thats what Natalie was thinking to. Funniest thing was i don't even think she knew what they were arguing about. Actually i don't even think they said hi to her. Gaby is not very good with first impressions. She had really hurt Kris you could see it in his face. I am soo nosey.
L: Im gonna go to the bathroom N: To listen L: Yeah (laugh) N: (Sighs laughs at the same time)
So i quickly walked along to the bathroom and stuck my ear up the the wall.
K: Why say something like that? G: I don't know
Kris sounded really angry and hurt and Gaby sounded soo upset, i just wanted to give them both a hug. The shouting suddenly stopped. I could Natalie jumping up and running to the bathroom. I knew she was as bad as me.
N: Whats going on? L: They were shouting and then silence N: Do you think they are L: Probably (laughs) N: Lets go and leave them to get on with it L: (laughs) N: You laugh a LOT L: I know N: Your such a Looney L: (laughs) I can't stop

I don’t believe it. Pretty much an hour of just arguing with him. I don’t think I’ve made a great impression on Natalie… Oh joy! “Why say something like that?” He asked. I have no idea what to say. I really don’t know why I said it. Because I thought it was a joke, I guess… “I don’t know!” I feel like crying. I just didn’t want this to happen. I only just met the guy! Although, now I seem a lot closer to him then I was before. Honestly, this life really is strange. “Kris, I really didn’t mean it. Please can we just stop arguing?” I asked him. I was feeling myself becoming upset. “I did stop!” “Not really, you just walked away.” “Ending the argument!” “Oh, come on Kris, we both knew it would continue.” “But why continue it now?” “To get it out of the way!!” I shout and turn around, lying on the bed. This is getting frustrating. We stayed silent for a minute. “My plan didn’t work.” I muttered. “Plan?” “To stop arguing.” I laughed. So did he. He sat on the bed next to me. “Kris, I really am sorry.” I told him. He held my hand, which was kind of weird. “I am too.” He said. I laughed. “Why do you even care what I think of you?” I asked, hoping the answer I hear next was what I thought it would be. “Because, I l-like you.” He looked away. I smiled. I turned his face so he was looking right at me. We were inches apart, millimetres, and then…
The door opened, just a crack, then slammed closed. “RUUUNNNN!” I heard Lorna shout. I heard Natalie shreak with laughter. I got up quickly and ran out of the room to see Lorna and Natalie sat on the sofa, acting natural; both of them trying not to laugh. “That wasn’t funny! Why did you spy?” I asked them both. They burst out with laughter. I rolled my eyes. Maybe it was a sign. Me and Kris don’t look like a normal couple anyway, plus, I only just met him. You always get mixed signals when you first meet someone. I walked back down the corridor to my room just as Kris was coming out of his room. I stopped and smiled. There was a really awkward silence and I couldn’t stand it. I just walked away and went into my room.

That was all my fault. My idea to peek through the door. They were going to kiss but cause of me they didn't. At least the arguing had stopped. Gaby looked so mad at us. It was a stupid childish thing to do. Everyone had went to there room. I was left sitting there. I wonder if Gaby is still talking to me. She can't be upset. Can she? We were only carrying on.
*Opens door* L: Want anything at the shops? G ......................
Was she deliberatly ignoring me?
L: Gaby
Still nothing. I went over and touched her shoulder. She jerked up suddenly and her earphone fell out.
L: Want anything from the shops? G: Em .. A Pot Noodle L: What kind? G: .... Chicken and Mushroom Please L: Ok Bye
Phew! She was talking to me normally but now i have to go to that little shop. Might as well ask Kris and Natalie what they want too. I chapped on Kris's door before i went in. We had barely talked. Infact i've said Hi and laughed at him when he called Gaby, Gabrielle. He must think im such a cow.
K: Come In L: Want anything at the shop? His room was such a mess. There were clothes everywhere and make up. Its worse than mine.
K: .... Bottle of wine L: Ok Red or white? K: .. Red L: Ok Be back soon
I walked along the corridor again and walked into Natalies room.
L: Want anything at the shops? N: .... Chocolate Milkshake (laughs) and a tooth brush i forgot mine L: Ok (laughs)
I walked out the halls and down all three flights of stairs again. Its a bottle of red wine, chocolate milkshake, a chicken and mushroom pot noodle and a tooth brush and then what ever i want. Lost again. Im rubbish with directions. I walked on for a little bit. Theres its there. I walked through the door. Grabbed a basket. Pot Noodles. Hmm .. I've just walked straight into the back of someone. My day is just getting worse.
L: Sorry .: Don't Worry (laughs)
It was justin.
L: Any idea where the pot noodles are? J: (laughs) You ask a lot of questions they're down there Lοя иаа says (19:10): He was pointing down on the ground infront of the pram. That he was holding. Is it his? He doesn't look old enough to be a dad. I was shocked. I wanted to ask but knowing me i would say something stupid and put myself in it. I bent down to pick up gabys pot noodle and smiled at the cute little boy sitting in the pram.
L: Hello
I stuck my tongue out at him. He smiled. He was soo cute. I loved babies and kids probably why i want to be a teacher.
J: You going to say hello to Lorna. L: He's so cute. You babysitting?
Hm wonder if he'll suspect anything from that.
J:What? Do you not think I'm capable of being a father, like everyone else?!
He took hold of the pram and walked straight out of the shop. What did i say? I've upset another person. I feel awful. The girl behind the counter smiled at me i could tell she had just listened to us talking. I quickly walked around the shop getting everything. The tooth brush. The wine. The chocolate milkshake. Payed and left the shop as quickly as i could. I still felt awful. I'd really upset him.
