Going to an university full of surprises.

I graduated from high school and summer break was coming to an end. It was time to move into dorms on my university: Turin’s University of Arts. The day I moved in was wild, moving took about 5 hours so I was finished in the midst of the day when all the introduction activities were happening. I signed up for the field hockey team and the video edit club. I also met two girls named Alysia and Brynli, my hopefully long-life friends. I also spend some time with my roommate Amelia so we won’t have any problems in the future that can be solved with communication. I turned out getting late and it was dark on campus. I was walking but got a text from Alysia that asked to come by her dorm, her’s was next to mine so no problem of course. While I texted her “Omw” I felt this hard smack and fell in the grass very hard. It took me a while to open my eyes, when I did I saw a boy smiling at me assuringly. But I passed out immediately. The next day, I woke up in a room that was definitely not my or Alysia’s dorm. I looked around a saw a lot of football related decorations and pictures of guys. I got out of bed and immediately felt sick, my head and muscles hurt. A guy came in with a plate but put it down and walked up to me pushing me on the bed “You should lay down and take it easy.” He said. He came back with the plate and handed me breakfast, he started replacing bandaids and applying muscle oil. I felt weird but it helped so I continued eating. “I’m so sorry about what happened yesterday.” He said regretful. “But what did happen yesterday?” I asked. “Well people are claiming that I can’t cycle, but I can. Yesterday I was a little tipsy and decided to prove them wrong.” He explained. “My drunk friends hyped me up so there was no going back.” He sighed. “I showed them but they told me I should cycle til I get to my dorm, so I did.. But then I saw you and I got distracted-“ I cut him off. “Did you run me over with you bicycle?” I asked. “No no no no!! I fell off my bicycle on top of you with a lot of impact, and I am so sorry!!” He pleaded. I looked at him dumbfounded and took another bite of that toast with bacon he made. “But what about my stuff? What happened to that?” I asked. “Well I washed your clothes since they had blood stains and mud stains all over them, and I bought you a new phone.” He said. “You what? What happened to the other one?” I asked shocked. “Well.. the screen cracked completely I thought it would be better if I just gave you a new one. All of your stuff is on there so nothing is lost.” He assured. I didn’t know how to act, like who is he to do that? I stood up again, this time feeling better. “I need to go.. my friends were expecting me last night and I never showed up, I have to tell them I’m okay now.” I said. He understood and told me to keep his clothes on and he’d return my clothes later. I thanked him for helping and left. I got a few confused looks on campus, I figured I must look like a zombie right now so I shrugged it off. I went straight to Alysia’s dorm and she opened after the first knock. She pulled me inside and scanned me. “Who’s clothes are these?” She asked. “Uhmmm I didn’t catch his name but I’ll explain sit down.” I said. Brynli ran in and took a seat next to Alysia. I explained everything in detail. Their mouths were open, the bag of popcorn was empty and their eyes were widened. “YOU MET ISAIAH ROMANO??” Brynli screamed. I looked at her confused “Who?” I asked. “OMG I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A RUMOR THAT HE ATTENDED THIS UNIVERSITY BUT GOD HEARD MY PRAYERS!!” She screamed and walked up to me. She looked down at me and grinned. “You’re even wearing his clothes, you’re so lucky?!” She said. She unlocked her phone and showed me her ‘special’ gallery named ‘HUSBAND😤❤️😍’ and there they were, hundreds of pictures of the guy I had met. It was him. She explained that he played for Juventus and he was the most aspiring player of their youth academy, winning a lot of prizes and championships. He was only 15 (almost 16) like we were but he played for Juventus U21 and had already made his debut against AS Roma scoring the winning goal. He was Juventus’ golden boy as Alysia quoted. I can’t believe I didn’t know, Juventus was my favorite club of all time but I’m my senior year I barely followed them so I missed out on this information. Now it all made sense, the way he decorated his room etc. Weeks had passed and university started. I began training with my hockey team because the competition will start in 2 weeks. I’ve also took in my position as Chief Editor in the Video Edit club. My friends and I are having a great time together and doing well in school. Isaiah and I became friends so we also hang out. I tried to return his clothes but he refused to take them back and told me to keep them. He also told me who he is, which I already knew thanks to my friends. It’s the end of the 1st semester and school has organized a field trip for the freshmen year. When we arrived we were put in groups, but we were allowed to mix it up so Alysia, Brynli, Roberto and I formed a group. Isaiah was claimed by a few girls and had no escape. We also had assigned rooms, boys and girls mixed. The houses were next to road and sea but I had no luck and was assigned next to the busy road. I had trouble sleeping and had nightmares, those girls also pranked my household and all the others. I felt horrible and considered going home. Roberto comforted me and made me soup by his mom’s recipe. It was delicious and made me forget all my worries. We decided to go for a walk in the early morning. We saw the sunrise and took a cold swim in our swimsuits. When we returned Isaiah ran up to me. He hugged me and apologized for all the trouble his group caused, this was the first time after months I had talked to him since he was so busy with Juventus. He passed me a note that said “let’s meet at the 3rd rock at 10pm, alone” and walked away with a smirk. The girls looked mad at me, but I couldn’t care less. This was the first day of activities with your group Leonardo also joined our group. We went canoeing and built a treehouse. It was so much fun. I brought my camera and filmed a lot so I could make an after movie. It was 9:55pm and I started walking to the rocks, I saw a boy sitting on the third rock and ran over there. Not so smart because I tripped and fell i the water. Luckily it wasn’t deep so I just climbed up. I walked up to him laughing and he looked shocked at me. “Are you okay? What happened?” He asked. “I tried to run up to you but I fell i the water but it wasn’t deep so it’s fine.” I said and sat down next to him. He shook his head and I heard him say unbelievable under his breath. We talked all night until 3am when we quietly returned to the house, when I thought we’d part ways he dragged me to this other house. Apparently it was an extra house and it was empty. Couples came here to do their business but Isaiah locked it, signing the others that someone else is busy in here. We spent the night there and cuddled. The next morning I woke up and I spotted Isaiah staring at me. “Would you ever consider marrying a football player?” He asked. I nodded and I started telling about my family. I never do because I don’t want to draw attention to myself and make my name known by my own achievements. My brother plays for Liverpool he is now 21 and has started training with the first team. I explained how I always expected to marry a football player because I was always busy with the game. My dad played at Ajax in his beginning adult life but quit when he had me and my brother so I come from a family full of football. He smiled and asked me to show videos of my brother and dad. We watched videos together and we made it official. We’re dating. He told me how he felt when he met me and how he felt whenever we spoke or just exchanged eye contact. He also told me about his family, how he learned how to play football by his uncle Barzaglia. That day we got to know each other and forgot about the rest of the world. It was only us who mattered. LOLLLL IKR THIS WAS SO DETAILED BUT IT WAS SUCH A GOOD DREAM, honestly I excluded some parts otherwise it would become a book, but my dream was close to reality so I kinda understand where this is going.
