The family got home, relax and enjoy lunch before Mark went back to work.
"Are you excited to meet your roommates?" Geraldine asked looking at the happy girl
"Yes I am" Valeria replied happily
"What exactly are you happy about?" Geraldine asked
"What they look like, their names, their characters and everything about them" Valeria replied happily
"That's nice. You should get some rest" Geraldine said and leave the room.

The next day, Valeria got up early, bathed with speed and dress up. Her mother who was making breakfast saw this and chuckle. After breakfast, they left for their various activities of the day. Valeria called Dennis immediately she entered the school compound.
"Hi Den, I'm inside the school compound" Valeria said happily
"Go for your roommates meeting then I will let you know where to visit me" Dennis said
"Okay, see you later" Valeria replied and end the call. She walked to Max Pelevsky residential and saw different girls there, up to twenty.
"Good morning ma'am" She greeted the caretaker
"Good morning my dear" She greeted back
"Room 209, Melvin Valeria" Valeria said reminding her
"Oh. Seems room 209 is complete" The woman announced and five girls walk out from different angle to meet the woman
"I will like you all to do a mini introduction, that's your name and field of study" The caretaker said and the girls nod
"Hi girls, I'm Valeria, studying biological science" Valeria introduced shaking the girls
"Nice to meet you Valeria" The girls chorused
"Hi Valeria" One of the girls said and Valeria recognized the voice but thought it was in her head
"I'm Hannah, Valeria knows me already. My field of study is mass media" Hannah said and Valeria finally look at the talkative partner.
"You?" Valeria asked with shock but did not want to disrupt the introduction
"Nice to meet you Hannah" The girls chorused
"Hi girls, I'm Catherine, Cat for short. English department" The most elegant among the girls said with her beautiful smile
"Nice to meet you Cat" They chorused
"Hi girls, I'm Sandra but I love being called Sandy. My field of study is organic chemistry" Sandra said smiling
"Nice to meet you Sandy" The girls said in unison
"Hi everyone, I'm Margaret, Maggy for short. My field of study is biological science" Margret said and Valeria jump up for joy to find her field of study
"Nice to meet you Maggy" The girls said
"Hello girls, I'm Priscilla. Cilla for short, my field of study is accounting" Priscilla said
"Nice to meet you Cilla" the girls chorused.
"Now that you've known each other names, it is time to pick the bed numbers, note anyone that picks number one is the room representative" The caretaker said and they all nod. She brings out a bucket that contains folded papers and they picked one by one.
"Bed 2" Hannah said excitedly
"Bed 6" Catherine said
"Bed 4" Priscilla said
"Bed 3" Margret said
"Bed 5" Sandra said
"Bed 1" Valeria said and the girls clap for her
"Miss Valeria, you are the room representative, if anything happens you will be held responsible" The caretaker said they nod their head. She gave Valeria a bunch of keys.
"Take one each, I have a spare so don't try anything funny" The caretaker said and the girls leave for their room.

The room is on the fourth floor, they took the elevator. Valeria open the door to the room, they entered admiring the big neat room with six soft beds in the room, with two toilets and bathrooms, six mini wardrobes with numbers on it, bedside table, a study table and chair, number above each bed and space for other things they might buy.
"This is home away from home" Catherine said walking to her bed number
"Really didn't expect this to be this beautiful and big" Hannah said sitting on her bed excitedly
"Spacious and worthy of the amount" Margret said sitting on her bed too
"The beds are so soft" Valeria said touching the bed
"Where's the kitchen?" Catherine asked checking the other doors in the room
"There's a general kitchen for everyone, our general kitchen is next to room 210" Valeria replied
"That's too far though" Sandra said
"Why don't we have lunch together?" Hannah suggested suddenly
"Nice idea but I have something to do" Sandra said sitting on Priscilla's bed
"Can you please get up?" Priscilla asked trying not to be harsh but could be heard in her tone
"Sorry about that" Sandra said and move to her bed
"Why don't we have a discussion about our dos and don'ts, likes and hate?" Valeria suggested understanding that Priscilla didn't like Sandra sitting on her bed
"Good idea" Catherine who caught the vibe supported
"So let's start with the last bed" Valeria said pointing to bed 6
"Hi girls, as y'all know I'm Catherine, Cat for short! We won't have problem if you don't use my things without asking, we also won't have issue if you don't over intervene in my life, I hate it. Also if you have a boring playlist, don't bother playing loud music, listen to boredom alone" Catherine said
"Bed 5" Valeria said pointing to Sandra
"I'm not a problematic girl but we will have problem if you trespass, I like people that mind their business. Please call me Sandy more, I really don't like the sound of Sandra. I hate loud music either interesting playlist or not, listen to it alone" Sandra said
"I know I'm next" Priscilla said smiling
"I'm a lover of music but as Cat said no boring playlist. I am neat to the core, I'm obsessed with neatness and that's why no one touches what belongs to me. If you do and you see me sanitizing it or throwing it away, don't get angry. I also have this hatred for people that talks too much and I can see I will have a problem with Hannah of bed two if I'm not mistaking" Priscilla said smiling not wanting to sound offensive
"Hi girls. The only issue I think we will have is disturbing me while studying, I can't study in a noisy place and I also have this obsession with reading novels, I might recommend few" Margret said
"Hi girls, Ann for short, I know I talk a lot and that's my hobby, you have to deal with it. I love loud music, I have both boring and interesting playlist. I don't think anything can make me angry" Hannah said smiling
"I'm Valeria, you can call Ria if the other is too long. The only issue we will have is doing to others what you can't accept. I'm fine with anything as long as you can accept what you dish. Margret I love novels too" Valeria said smiling
"Now that we know about each other, I think we can start our university year in peace" Hannah said and they all clap.
