Sin

Chapter One

"Caroline, hurry up and pick something out! We're gonna be late!" Rebecca yelled at me.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." I grabbed a plain black dress, some black lace up heels, and my camel coat, ran some mascara over my eyes and rushed out the door.

"How did you even hear about this place anyways?" I asked Rebecca.

She was the complete opposite of me I noticed, She had on all white, from her coat to her shoes.

"There are flyers all over campus!" She said excitedly.

Then she started going on and on about how fun this was going to be and what a great experience it would be and all kinds of other shit, that I didn't pay attention too.

She snapped her fingers in front of my face, breaking me out of my trance.

"Are you even listening to me?" She looked at me, clearly annoyed.

"No." I said to her.

"Caroline you could at least pretend..." She huffed.

I just looked at her and rolled my eyes. She focused her eyes back on the road and a few minutes later we pulled into this big parking lot in front of a surprisingly modern building. There was a big white cross on the roof.

"We're here!" Rebecca said clapping her hands.

I got out of the car and rolled my eyes, slamming the door shut.

"At least act like you want to be here. You used to be so happy going to church." She said.

"Okay well let's go!" I said to her giving her my fakest smile and clapping my hands.

She stared at me for a few seconds, rolled her eyes and turned away flipping her over dyed brown hair in the wind. She thought she was so perfect didn't she?

I rolled my eyes and groaned. This was gonna be a long day. I started walking towards the church and noticed this curly, brown haired boy standing at a stop sign at the end of the street. He had on all black and these sunglasses that completely covered his eyes.

He looked my way and pulled out a cigarette, smirked, then walked off. As soon as I walked in the door some bright eyed peppy girl handed me a bulletin as she said, "Student section is on the second floor!"

I looked down at the paper booklet which was bright blue with big bold letters on it that said NYU Student Baptist Church. I looked at her and just rolled my eyes. Why am I even here? I'm practically here against my will. I turned around about to walk out but someone grabbed my arm.

I looked behind me and this boy had hold of me smiling. He had blonde hair styled to the right of his head and chocolate brown eyes. He had on this pink button up shirt and a cardigan with Kakis and Sperry's. He was actually pretty hot.

"Think you could get away that easy?" He said and chuckled.

"Well I thought I would give it a shot." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Oh come on you'll have a great time! You can sit with me and the rest of my friends."

He let go of my arm and started walking towards the stairs. I looked at the door and then the stairs and decided to go with the blonde boy. As we were walking up the stairs he said "I never got your name by the way." and then looked at me.

"Oh it's Caroline."

"Wow what a great name. Mine is Parker." His eyes met mine and he smiled.

I could feel my cheeks heat up.

"So Miss Caroline, how long have you been going to NYU?" He asked.
