Winter’s Estate
7:05 AM
Charlotte Winters awoke from her Kumikoon silk sheets with a tired, but polite, yawn. She looked at the clock on her dresser and almost fell out of her bed. Why hadn’t her mother waken her. She only had an hour to get ready before leaving for Columbia. A few months back, lets say around March, Charlotte Kennedy Winters had received her acceptance and scholarship packet from Columbia University. She had applied early decision, just like her father had and was very excited when she received that packet. She knew she would get in, of course, because her father had gone there and was a reputable alumni. She was a legacy and we all know how important legacy is to the Ivy Leagues. Charlotte did have her own claim to the Winters name , though. She had been a top international model since she was twelve years old and had modeled in more designer fashion shows than she can count. When she turned 18, she decided that she was going to take time off from modeling and go to school. Of course, columbia had been the only choice and now it was time for welcome week. Charlotte put her outfit, which she had picked out two nights ago, on and did her makeup in her light up vanity. She put her white, Marc Jacobs kitten heels on and ran down the stairs. Her mother and father were both waiting at the door next to her Louis Vuitton suitcases. They had their driver and maid load the luggage into the black SUV and they were off.
Columbia University
8:30 AM
When the driver arrived at the university, Charlotte jumped out of the car and walk-ran to the check in table. She did not like being late and refused to be late on her first day at Columbia. She stated her name and she could see the faces of the admissions team light up. They knew who she was. A woman with bright blonde hair and the fakest blue eyes Charlotte had ever seen in her life handed her her welcome packet and her roommate assignment. Of course, Charlotte already knew her roommate. Her name was Ambrosia Williams, best friend since birth and Computer Information Systems major. I know, dorky sounding right? Well, even though Ambrosia is smart and a little dorky, she is the most beautiful and contradictory nerd anyone had ever seen. Nerd=stringy hair, glasses, pale skin, and pimples right? WRONG! Ambrosia was tan, curtesy of her mothers Filipino heritage, long brow hair, and a fashion sense that would make Kate Spade drop her entire line just to pick up whatever this girl was wearing. Charlotte knew Ambrosia had gotten here early to start decorating the dorm. She and her parents made their way up to the dorm.
9:00 AM
Charlotte entered dorm number 220 and instantly fell in love. Ambrosia, though not present, had already moved all the furniture so the room was totally zen, put sheer, sparkly wall decals on one wall near Charlotte’s bed, and put two Kate Spade planners on the desks, Black and white for Ambrosia and white and gold for Charlotte. she knew her so well. Charlotte and her parents had already sent someone to put both the girls bedding on and all that was left to do was say goodbye.
It was a sad goodbye, but Charlotte was ready to be on her own. She walked her parents out to the car and waved goodbye as the car pulled away.
10:30 AM
Charlotte walked back up to the dorm and was greeted with a warm hug by Ambrosia. They had to be at welcome orientation at two, so they had some time to catch up. They talked about the vacations they had taken. Ambrosia had gone to Spain and Italy with her brother. Charlotte had gone to France and Russia to visit her grandparents. They talked about the boys that they had seen already and plans for the next few nights (fraternity parties were already starting and they had been invited to three). They both also planned on rushing for Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, which both of their mothers had been members of. They talked and talked until 1:30 PM and then they headed out to welcome orientation.
2:00 PM
Charlotte and Ambrosia arrived at the welcome orientation and were instantly swarmed by clubs and academic officials. Clearly, people knew what they looked like and knew who they were. After they finished talking to some representatives, they found their seats and waited for the dean to start the speech. It was the usual mumbo-jumbo about ow we are so happy that you chose Columbia, this will be a great year, and academic policy is important. Charlotte was way to busy thinking about her future at this place to listen to this boring speech. The speech finally ended and they were dismissed to go to the club fair. Charlotte already knew which club she was joining, Since she was a fashion merchandising major, she joined fashion club. Of course they were clad to have her, considering she offered to host some of their events at her mothers stores. Ambrosia joined the business for rising entrepreneurs club. After they were both done joining club, they headed to dinner and then back to their room.
7:00 PM
After a long day, Charlotte and Ambrosia compared their schedules and decided to FaceTime Deseri. Deseri LaBelle was their other best friend. She went to Parsons School of Design because she wanted to be a fashion designer. They were planning on meeting her this weekend but, they couldn’t wait to see her. She talked about her classes, boys she saw, people she met, and her awesome roommate. It was now ten o’clock at night and Deseri said she had to go to bed. Charlotte and Ambrosia both decided that they would watch their favorite movie, The Other Woman, and go to bed right after. After all, they had a big day tomorrow.
