The past two weeks have been tough. I have been hopping from shelter to shelter, and sometimes, if the men's shelter was full, I even had to resort to a random alleyway. But it is alright. I will live, and today, I go to campus. 

Thank god becuase now I can finally take a decent shower instead of just using a sick to clean problem areas. It has not been all bad, tho, though I have not been starving. I work at the local chicken spot, and they let me eat free when they knew of my situation.

 
Unfortunately, yesterday was my last day, but I plan to work on campus to afford food and necessities. Everything is fine, though im going in with 3,000 dollars becuase I just got paid, so that should be enough until I get my job. 

Sighing, I head to the bus station to make my way to Malibu." West Hollywood to Malibu is about only 44 minutes away, so that is only like 15 dollars". I make my way to the bus and pay. I go to the back of the bus and put in my headphones, not wanting to be bothered. I hold my belongings close and look out the window, watching the scenery of privilege come into view. "Dad, we're out, we are finally out," I mumble to myself.

Time goes by in a blur, and before I know it, im in front of the campus with a massive grin. I start walking, not caring about the looks I'm getting. Always step into something meaningful with your left foot, son; it will bring luck and is an excellent way to start. I Look down at the pavement and finally walk onto campus, starting with my left foot. I can not help but have a stupid grin on my face. Everything is starting now. I hear someone fall out of nowhere, and I am automatically snapped out of my world.

 "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. Let me help you up," I say, looking at the brunette on the ground.

 "What the hell? They really just let anyone into private property nowadays. Do you know how much this outfit cost me? You will compensate me for ruining it. I can not believe you pushed me, and I did not do anything wrong," the girl says, looking crazed.

 " Victoria, what is wrong, sweetheart?" I hear a man say... her father. 

"This black man just ruined my outfit, Dad. Do you know how expensive this is? I say we call the police. What is he even doing here?" she says, now clinging on to her dad's arm. 

"Honey, I think that is a bit much. How much was the outfit?" he says, looking at me in disgust.

 "2,450 dollars. This is my designer dress."

 " I am sorry. I think there is a misunderstanding. I am a student here, and it was definitely an accident. I did not mean to cause an issue," I say, showing them my student I.D. and softly trying not to cause a scene.

 " Then pay my daughter for her outfit, and we can call it a day, or we will be forced to get the cops involved." I just Zelle her the money and walk away from them.

 What a way to start, but Dad, im not going to let that get to me. I have 535 dollars in my account, and I'm going to have to make that last.

I look at the sheet I printed and make my way to the soccer dormitory, bringing a smile back to my face. "Hi, welcome to the soccer dormitories at Lincoln. May I see your Student ID," she says, smiling. "Of course." I show it to her, and she marks my name down. " Alright, I got you down. Also, you won't have to do this all the time. On any other day, you will scan to enter the building or any other building with your I.D., so make sure not to lose it and enjoy your time here." " Thank you so much," I say, smiling at the girl.

 
After a lot of struggling, I finally reached my door and unlocked it, going inside. I can't help but bring back the goofy smile. Walking in, I notice a dirty blonde boy putting his stuff up. He doesn't even turn around to acknowledge my presence. I go to the second bed and throw my suitcase on top of it, taking in everything becuase it is real now.
