Chapter 1- James
College can be exciting for some, others.. well terrifying, its basically a fresh start without those around you. But, none the less, Today is my first day of college.
August 6 2020.
Today i took the bus to the university because I refused to use the train like I was advised. Anyways, here i was, unlike high school there was no school gates, nor one entrance. It was huge. I was already worried even though I took a tour with a couple of the other students that go here, it still felt large and threatening.
Students were everywhere, some looked as if knew where they were going others not so much. My heart raced, college a fresh start. Less rules, no parents, it already seemed great.
Somehow, I found the main entrance, it was quite obvious after I found it, but it was hell looking for it. People scattered ledt and right. Like when you step in a pile of ants. Well that didn't matter anyways, I had to find my dorm. Which I already had know where it was located.
It seemed as if college was going well, a little too well if you asked me, but that's just my fate. I got to the front door of my dorm and just as I was pulling the handle of my door, I head a familiar, way to familiar, voice to the left of me.
"James?" It was a tall guy with short messy brown hair that covered his eyes. Matt.
I just stood there appalled by the fact the Matt, was standing in front of me once again.
"Hey, you Alright?" He asked casually as if th time we talked-
"....Earth to james." "Ah sorry." A small grin crinkled at the corner of his mouth as he let out a chuckle. "You're the same as every." He mumbled. The silence grew wide as he waited for me to say something. Anything. But no, i stood there like a abandoned dog in the rain. "...well see you around." I nodded as he walked into his dorm. "Stupid." I thought.
How could the one person of them all go to this college, and to add the cherry on top, he had to be the dorm right next door. To maje it even worse then it already is, i acted so stupid in front of him.
"Ughhhh, why is this my life." I groaned into my pillow. I had already picked my bed out since my roommate wasn't their yet. I liked the one closest to the window. It reminded me of school. Which now when I think about probably wasn't the brightest idea.
Either way, window made me feel calm, I could looked out of them for hours and hours and never get bored. It was just.... so much to see in the world. Things you just can't see without great focus.
I flipped my shoes off and placed them nicely beside my bed, I didn't want to make a mess before my new roommate came.
Classes didn't start till tomorrow, today was just a look around, even though that was what the tour was for. I wasn't complaining though, I needed a breather. Especially after I found out my ex was basically my next door neighbor for the next 3 years.
Great, what else could go wrong.
