*alarm bell rings
university, here i come.
everyone's in the same boat, they're just the same as me, i think.
Oh sorry, after you, gosh no, ladies first. My name's lily hey i don't suppose you fancy
checking out the library with me do you? sorry, i've already got a girlfriend.
posh wally, i think that's you.
this and a decaf macchiato please, i'm a trained barista, so am i actually,
two years experience at mugshots cafe, oh you should work here then,
there's a job going not that any of this lazy lot of applied. I'm pretty busy with
all my other businesses see, i got my fingers in pies, isn't that against food hygiene?
it's just the first day, don't let a couple of bad experiences put you off
sorry i hope i'm not interrupting but i could really use a good listener right now.
What? Mr Malone? Lily, small world and uh please call me Jeff. Ever since i've arrived i felt
really out of place, like i just don't belong, all the students here are so cool they have cool hair,
crazy clothes, they're all vegan, they all listen to bands i've never even heard of.
So the solution is... be more like them,
change. Goodbye mainstream awkwardly Lily, hello cool new student lily
yes i knew someone moved in today, i'm frankie your new neighbour, what's yours? L-L- Lee,
Lee... short for lily.
this is so exciting, i just know we're gonna be great friends.
I'm so glad you're here, i've met a couple of people at the uni who i'd hate
to... live with. Hey Seb, this is Lee, she's on our corridor.
Got any food Seb? me and lee are starving, help yourself, granny sent enough to feed an army.
OMG these chocolates are amazing.
Sampson
missed him again and he keeps avoiding us, dashes in and out when no one's around. We
need to show him that we are nice people and he's got nothing to be afraid of.
Okay, let's practice again, Sampson comes in and before he gets to his room "hi sampson we're
nice people and there's nothing to be afraid of" "ah pleased to meet you sampson i'm seb"
but maybe we should leave a box outside of meg's office so there's no way of missing sampson
you're here for the box of vinyl? yep, my office.
about time, been waiting ages for me vinyl stick around and have your mind
blown "pleased to meet you sampson i'm seb" wrong box again
i don't know lee giving him one of my old factory sculptures is a super lovely gesture, but
how do you know he'll come out and thank us, trust me
we're nice people and there's nothing to be afraid of. Pleased to meet you i'm seb.
We just want to be friends.
obviously just not a mixer, uni can be very intimidating for some people
makes them act in strange ways, who am i trying to fool? this isn't me. hi mum,
yeah all good, made friends, you were right i just needed to be myself
still no sign? he'll probably sneak back later when we're in our rooms,
yeah. What's that? My latest piece, i call this goodbye to childhood
it's lily, not lee, lily and i don't like your smelly sculptures and i don't like batumi glow
and i am not a vegan and i like my cuddly toys and i don't dress cool and my hair is really nice and
i like pop music from the 1980s like my mum and i am sorry for pretending to be someone else but i
just wanted to fit in because i found university so new and scary. that's how i felt too,
i was the same i mean i make weird sculptures, university is a lot different to boarding school,
no rules here, it's all up to you i promise i'll mend your toys lily i've got mad sewing skills
sorry for trying to be someone, else can we start again do you want to go to the student union?
Sampson?
