1. something that is to happen or has happened to a particular person or thing; lot or fortune.

Only once in my life an accident caused something good to happen.

"Oh my God I am so sorry" A girl stumbles out after she runs into me with more force than I expected. I feel my walls go up as I regain my footing and composure.

"Ugh, watch where you're goi-" I can't help but to stop talking as I look at the girl in front of me. Her green eyes look into mine as I take her in. She's a few inches shorter than me with sandy blonde hair and nice completion. I can't help but notice how beautiful she is.

Wow she's… stunning

I suddenly realize that we have been staring at each other for a while without a word. "I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." I say softer than I intended.

Great now she probably thinks I'm awkward

"I'm Carmilla by the way." I say as I quickly sick my hand out hoping to have her ignore my previous statement. She looks down at my hand and back at me, but not before my eyes drift up and down her body.

She probably thinks I'm checking her out

I mean I am

But she can't know that

"I'm Laura" She says as she takes my hand and shakes it. Her touch is warm which feels nice on my cold hand. "I'm guessing this is your first year."

Did she just say that? At freshman orientation

I can't help but smile at how flustered she is at her own statement.

She's really cute

"Yes this is my first year, do you know your major?" I ask, hoping to make her feel better for what she just said.

"Journalism, well specifically investigative journalism. What about you?"

Oh a little Lois Lane

How interesting

"Philosophy" I say blander than I intended. I can't help but feel that way towards my chosen major; well it's more of my mother's choice than mine.

My mother…

"Wow, you must love hearing people's opinions." She says, getting immediately flustered at what she said.

"I guess if they have the same opinion as me" I say with a laugh. Before we can continue, a voice yells above the auditorium.

"Hey Laura" someone says, which causes Laura to say something on the lines of truck under her breath.

"Do you not like her?" I ask in a whisper.

Why am I so interested in her?

"She transferred into my high school our senior year and I was the one who had to show her around. She has the biggest crush on me and it's extremely obvious, but I don't like her back." She whispers back. I can't help but to laugh as a tall girl pushes her way towards us.

"Hey have you gotten your room assignment yet?" The girl asks. I can't help but to clench my teeth at the sight of Danny Lawrence, a girl from my high school.

"No I haven't, I was about to until I ran into Carmilla." She says as she gestures towards me.

"Oh it's you." Danny says.

"Why hello Athena, nice to see you too." I say giving Danny a glare, which she returns.

"You two know each other?" Laura asks as she steps between us.

"We went to high school together." Danny states blandly. At around six feet tall Danny can be pretty intimidating, especially in sports.

"So where did you go senior year? Did Zeus need Athena back at Mount Olympus?" I say. Before I can stop myself, I end up laughing at my own joke.

I can't believe I am laughing at my own joke

Wait, Laura seems like she's laughing too.

Maybe I'm funnier than I think

"Very funny Karnstein, but for your information, I moved to a different high school" Danny says angrily. I can't help but enjoy making her angry. It's almost like a hobby for me.

"I figured that much, well I have to be anywhere but here, but Laura I will see you another time cutie." I say with a wink as I leave the two and head to get my room assignment.

I feel like that won't be the last time I see Laura.

The walk to the desks with room assignments is filled with pushing past people and avoiding everyone. I can't help but continue thinking about Laura as I get closer and closer to the desk.

When I finally get to the desk a lady, who seems like she's ready to get as far away from the university as she can, greets me.

"Hi, Name please" She says with an obviously forced smile.

"Carmilla Karnstein." She then shuffles through papers until she finds mine.

"You will be in the Vampress hall in roommate will be Miss Laura Hollis." I feel my breath hitch in my throat as I try and contain my composure.

Laura, as in the Laura I just met?

I take the papers from her; give her a quick thanks as I make my way through the crowds and out the door, not wanting to talk to anyone else. Once outside I reread the papers she gave me and sure enough it reads "Laura Hollis."

I can't help but to feel extremely happy at the fact that the cute girl I met at orientation is going to be my roommate. I begin the walk back to my hotel room with a smile on my face.

I feel like that won't be the last time I see Laura

And I was right.
