The beginning of a new life. Yes, I am finally able to start a life on my own. I got my new apartment which is absolutely beautiful and pretty decent. I got a new job in a flower shop closer to my apartment now and I am starting my college today.. I couldn't be any happier because, for the past few years all I wanted was to move out of that house and be able to live a life as I want to.

I got out of my car, grabbed everything I needed and locked it. I walked towards the main building and a girl, which I assume is a senior year student guided me to the assembly hall. The hall was filled with many students.. Shortly after the Principal gave us all a speech about how incredible the next three years will be for the students, we were all guided to our assigned classes... This all feels like a dream to be honest. I got into my dream college and I am in a good place now, in life in general.

Can't wait to make the most of it !!!

"Hey, I am Yuna"

Said the girl next to me with a welcoming smile.

"Hi, I am Sam."

I replied with a smile.

We chatted a little until the door opened and a woman walked into the class. She looked middle-aged , had brown hair , wore a black blouse with a white skirt. She addressed us with a sweet smile.

"Good Morning everyone, I am Katherine Hayes, You may call me Mrs. Hayes. I will be the teacher in charge of you all for this year. As I am sure you heard from our Principal, I hope this year will be a great one. So let's get started, shall we?"

--------------------------------------------------------

The first three periods went by fast. Can't say it was awesome but I passed it without getting bored so much. So that is a plus.

Me and Yuna got pretty much close , surprisingly we both have the same classes. We talked about our personal stuff. She lives with her parents a few blocks away from our college. She mentioned she is looking for new apartments since her parents won't be able to stay here for long because of their family business back in her country. She is also Asian (South Korean) so she pretty much understands the whole strict parents , extreme curfew etc. We joked about it all during lunch time.

"Hello, are these seats taken?"

"No, you may sit. I am Yuna and this is Sam"

Yuna replied excitedly.

"Thanks, I am Scylla"

"I think I saw you earlier in Mr.Taylor's class. You were the one who he asked to distribute the assignments, right! Which course are you in?"

Yuna asked.

"Yeah, I am doing an art major along with architecture."

Scylla replied with a smile.

"That means we have several classes together. What a coincidence!! "

We finished our lunch talking about random stuff and came to the realisation that the three of us got more in common than that meets the eye. We exchanged numbers and even went to grab coffee together at the nearby coffee house after college. I guess I have two "besties" now , in Yuna's words ...

Yuna is a loving girl, extremely welcoming and always cheerful. She seems like the person that will light you up even when everything else goes down.

Scyl, also is a good friend. She seems like a trustworthy person. She is honest, a chill person and a comfortable being to be with ...

Friday

The first week went by a blink of an eye . We got a bunch of assignments to finish and the lectures are somewhere in between almost interesting and boring. But I got through it pretty good. Being with Yuna and Scyl is always entertaining and so comfortable that I get refreshed from the stress just by their existence.

A notification sound in my phone woke me from my thoughts.

Scyl: "What are you doing tonight?"

Me: " I don't have to work
today. So I am just gonna stay in
my apartment I guess"

Scyl: " Come with me, let's hang out"

Me: "What!! Is Yuna coming too?"

Scyl: " She said she is going to one of her
cousin's house for the weekend with
her family.

Me: " Ohh okay.. Where are we even
going?"

Scyl: " Leave that to me . Just dress cool
okay! I will pick you up in half an
hour".

------------------------------------------------------

We walked into a club and soon as I stepped inside the deafening music filled my ears ..

"How do I know that you are not planning to kill me or make me meet with a drug cartel or mafia"

I yelled at Scylla in a sarcastic way.

"You don't"

She simply said it with a smirk playing on her lips and dragged me to the bar.

We, and by that I mean Scylla, ordered two shots of tequila. We took the shots and she asked for another who-knows-what drink. I was surprised when the bartender didn't even ask for an ID.

"Don't we have to show an ID here?"

I asked Scylla with curiosity.

"Yes and No. That man right there , my dear young lady , is none other than my stepbrother Max . We have some sibling-by-father agreement between us. I don't reveal his darkest secrets to my dear parents and I get to have drinks whenever, with no questions asked..And now accompanying me in this wonderful ceremony is none other than you, Miss Samantha Das."

She concluded taking a sip of her drink with me trying to recollect whatever she said in my brain.

We basically just danced around and drank some more drinks. Being with Scylla was carefree. She made me feel like I am experiencing everything for the first time. And that in a good way. We danced our asses off in the floor for hours. I was exhausted so I sat at the bar to catch my breath while Scylla continued to bring out her inner Michael Jackson. I honestly don't know how she has so much stamina.

Max gave me a glass of water at my request and I enjoyed the show while my brain constantly shifted thoughts about the most random things one could find.
But then it focused on one thing. The beautiful gaze of those eyes caught me off guard. She was sitting at the table across the dance floor. There was another lady with her, they seemed like friends. Maybe it was the alcohol in me but it seemed to me like I was drawn to her more and more every second I looked at her. There was something about her that made me feel things.

"Stop eye-fucking her Sam she can see that you are drooling over her."

Scylla's voice woke me up from my thoughts and I realised I was shamelessly staring at that woman for quite some time. The embarrassment took over me and the lighting of the club must have made sure that my humiliation was recognised by that woman. She let out a chuckle and returned to her conversation with her companion.

God!! Just bury me already. Ughhhh...
