Chapter Text

It was the morning you’ve been dreading. You peak out your small one-bedroom apartment window, you see that the sun is lighting up the clear blue sky. At least it was going to be a nice day. Today was the first time you’d be attending a class on campus. Normally you do everything online. But you left this one course sitting too long and the only thing available was in class sessions.

The late spring air felt good on your face as you make your way to the college. Living off campus was nice, seeing as how you only had one course, there was no point being super close. You see your friend Ally and head for her, but you don’t notice the light brown-haired boy until you’ve fully walked right into him.

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry.” You say in embarrassment.

“Right.” He scoffs. “Watch where you’re going next time.” He clipped and kept walking.

Feeling like a total fool, you half cover your face and quickly walk to Ally. You can see that she is laughing and shaking her head at you.

“Please stop.” You beg as you get closer. “I feel stupid enough.”

“It’s your first day here and you’re already a mess.” Ally teases.

You roll your eyes grabbing her arm as you head into the faded red brick building.
