Some lady at the front had gave me a tour and lead me to my dorm , I was greeted by a girl , she looked like a walking art peace "hi I'm Jules , and you are ?" "My names betty" "that's sick I had a friend who had a cousin named betty , she was a bitch tho" "mine is just a nick name actually" "what's you're real name" "it's pretty bad" I said , "I get you , my real name is julianna but everyone calls me Jules " I nodded "mines is Elizabeth" "tough shit right there" "yeah" I said before I took off my sweater" "rad scar" she said pointing out the scar on my neck that was still pretty visible "thanks" "if it's not rude may I ask , where's it from?" "It's a birth mark" she nodded , "what are you studying in" "I'm in the art system , like music , theatre , acting , photography and painting I think" "no way I'm majoring in theatre and acting" "that's sick" "yeah"
It'd been two weeks since this conversation , I've settled in for the most part , even decorated , college is a lot different than high school that's for sure , I've actually learned what I want to here , I'm more so interested in theatre and acting , like Jules , she's like my best friend now , though Veronica and sage are here to , Veronica is in the same sorority as my brother , and sage is into music , we don't talk as often anymore with how busy we all are , but Veronica invited me to some frat party , I'd prepared for a hour , don't drink anything don't touch anyone , don't look anyone in the eye , seemed pretty easy , I'd hoped, I walked in with Jules and within five minutes I'd lost her , everything was crowded , with random shirtless dudes doing shots and breaking things, I was talking to some guy for a while , he seemed nice , a little , he was another rich prick that had never worked for anything in his life , "I have to go find my friend" "alright meet me back here then" "I will" I was not, I searched through the rooms to find most of them locked and hearing loud noises coming from the inside , until I opened it and saw Jules laying down on a bed "are you okay" I asked , she hardly responded , I walked up to her and moved her hair it of her face "did someone give you something" she just slightly nodded , "how'd he look" "he had blonde hair and he was wearing a gray sweater around his neck and had these grey jeans" she struggled to finish that sentence and I could faintly hear it , I covered her in the blanket "I'll be right back" I walked back to the party and looked for at least ten minutes , I walked up to the table were he was doing this ping pong shot game , I grabbed a shot and downed it "hey handsome" I said "hey" "want to take this upstairs" "sure" I grabbed his hand and lead him upstairs he took me to another room , my first problem was thinking I could beat up this 6 foot 7 guy with a six pack and all muscle , when he closed the door and was about to grab a condom I grabbed a golf club , I suppose he had a mirror or something because he grabbed it a second before it hit his head , he threw me towards the wall and when I fell he picked me up by my hair , I grabbed his leg to witch he only tripped to he quickly got up and kept throwing me around like a rag doll , i laid on the floor someone knocked on the door and called his name , he opened the door and I couldn't see anything because my back was against the wall "what are you doing" "oh nothing she just knocked out on the floor" I think he pushed him out the way because he walked over to me and crouched down , he moved the hair out of my face , I slightly opened my eyes , "oh betty what have you got yourself into " he whispered he got up and I heard them fighting , he came back to me while I was crying , "jughead" I whispered , he nodded he hugged me while I cried "He helped me get up and I walked back to the room were Jules was at , she was still sleeping , I hugged her and tried waking her up , she was completely knocked out so jughead carried her to my car for me , he put her in the back of ,y car "thank you it really means , a lot" "anytime" , "what are you majoring in" I asked , "I'm in the art program , studying music" I nodded , "what a small world , I'm the new music class professor" he slitghly laughed , automatically assuming it was a joke , "I'm not kidding" I said his face got pretty straight "you literally just graduated high school " "I'm aware , I submitted some of my work months prior to graduating and they offered me a job " "but you're seventeen" "that's why I'm starting next week , right after my birthday" I'd convinced him after a minute , "yeah I'm fucking with you I'm majoring in theatre and acting right now" "figured" he said "is it so hard to imagine a depressed seventeen year old to be a college professor " "I'll leave that question to you" "yeah whatever" "so how'd you wind up at a frat party" he asked , "Archie is in it so he invited me , you were right , high school fame doesent mean shit when you get to college " I nodded "are you in like a sorority or something" "I'm not , my brother is , but as of right now I'm alone , I couldn't bother to put someone through the burden of knowing me" "you speak so low of yourself " "I don't like speaking about myself in general , I like this cool little mystery person persona that I've created while I figure my shit out" he nodded "how is youre mom doing" "I wouldn't know , I moved out after prom night , we had some huge fight and me and my brother left , but she had a pretty bad incident and got sent to rehab for a few months " "I'm sorry" "I dont want you to look at me as vulnerable, or anyone for that matter , not anymore" he nodded , "what about you're mom" "she's in the end of the adopting process for this little girl that she said reminded her of my sister " "that's great" "you know , a year ago I would never guess that this is we're we would be , never thought you'd consider college in general" "it was my only escape for a new life , I mean I lost everything , I didn't have anything besides a brain and a pretty face and I just knew I wanted to be happy , that I deserved to be happy" I said , he looked down at his watch , "it's getting pretty late" "yeah well thanks again" I said , "anytime"
