Happily

When College comes a'knockin

Hey Y'all!
Thank you for checking my new book! I just got an idea for a book, but don't worry I am not stopping my other book yet. And just btw, This is kind of my idea of a college in this fantasy world. I know colleges aren't actually like this, but it's how college is gonna be in my book. So please don't judge the book because of that. Again Thank you so much for reading!"

xoxo,
Abigial

"Paulina Grace Parker if you don't wake up right now we are going to be late to Registration!" Connor hollered as he shook my shoulders causing my brain to jumble.
"Good Golly, mrs.molly! It's still morning we have plenty of time" I said throwing my pillow over my head. For a second it was silent, and I heard his footsteps moving toward the foot of my bed.
"Actually, it's noon and we have to be at registration in an hour." he said ripping my comfortable blankets off my chilled body."Now get up and get moving. I want a good dorm for our first year of college!"

I groaned in annoyance. Connor left my room with a death glare, telling me not to go back to bed. So I decided to go to the bathroom and get ready. In the bathroom, I turned on Ed Sheeran and did my simple hair and makeup. I brushed my hair out, quickly going over it with a flat iron, and pinned my bangs back. For makeup, I put on some powder and flicked on a bit of mascara to make my eyes pop.

After I finished in the bathroom, I quickly picked out an outfit. I chose a purple and blue patterned flannel, light jeans, and riding boots. After giving myself a quick check in the mirror, I grabbed my phone and keys and headed to the kitchen to find Connor eating and talking to my mom about school.

"Hey Paul, sure took you long enough" Connor teased.
"Shut up!" I said punching him in the shoulder."Hey mom, Connor and I have to run. I will see you in a bit!" I hollered practically prying Connor from the pancakes my mom made for him.
"Okay Honey Bunny! Drive safe!" my mom hollered back. I love how my mom is totally cool with me having Connor over 24/7. She knows that we are just friends and she doesn't ask for anything more or less. She is totally chill about me staying with Connor anytime. And she knows we don't plan on it being anymore than friends.

Connor and I headed out the door and I tossed him the keys.
"Oh sure, of course I will drive!" Connor said sarcastically.
" Thanks Honey boo!" I teased squeezing his cheeks.
We hopped in the car and rode away in peace. Once we were there it was 1:58 and we had to be in by two in order to early Register.
"Holy Crap, Paul! Hurry lets go!" Connor said in surprise. We launched ourselves out of the car and literally sprinted into the building.
Quickly, we searched the room for a sign of registration or a worker. I saw a little old lady behind the desk typing rapidly on her computer.
"Excuse me, is this where we get our schedule?" I say politely trying not to bother. Connor elbows me and laughs at my sudden polite ways.
"Absolutely. Let me just have your name!"
"Ok, I am Paulina Parker and this is Connor Dylan."
She scrolled down on her mouse, searching for our names.
"Here we are!" she says happily."Let me print these out real quick and you can go and find your dorm!"
The little old lady quickly prints out our schedules and we head over to the dorm.

Ever since Kindergarten , Connor and I had been inseparable best friends. In third grade, my mom promised us that if we went to college together, she would buy us decor and furniture and all that fun stuff for our dorm. Obviously, Connor didn't really care about that stuff as much as I did, but he just went with it anyway.
Once we got to our dorm, Connor and I stepped in with our jaws dropped at the plain and dullness of the room.
"I can't stand another second of this.I promise I'm not gay, but we really need to fix up this room."
I laugh at his small gay moments, " You do that Mr.Designer"
"Shut up! I am doing this for you"
"sure you are"
he play punched me and tackled me, causing me to fall onto the very board-like bed. He tripped on a suite case and fell down on top of me with an omph!

"Ow! Connor you way a ton!" I said struggling to push him off of me.
"Yeah, its because I'm built!"
"Oh whatever!" I pushed his bicep that was surprisingly rock hard. I tried to hide my shock, but it didn't work.
"told you" he smirked a a cocky smirk.

I got up, totally ignoring his cocky comment, and grabbed my keys and phone.

"Where are you going Paul" Connor asked without really caring.
"I'll go get us some food while you unpack" he nodded as if be was listening and i went out the door.

On my way out, I checked my phone to see that it was 7:00 and almost time for dinner. As quickly checked a text from Connor I bumped into the glass door to get out of the building.
Omph!
I rubbed my head in pain, and then the door opened. Holding the door open, was a tall, well built male staring into my soul with his chocolate brown eyes.
"That was impressive" he said with a teasing smile.
I giggled , "I am just that smooth"

"Oh, yeah totally" he laughed.
There was a little silence then he said ," Well I guess I will see you around" he smiled a Paulina-melting smile.
"Yeah, of course. See ya" I said trying to hide my excitement.
He held the door open and gestured for me to walk through. I headed out and went around the building and straight back into our dull dorm.
I busted through the door and slammed it behind me to find Connor sitting on the bed on his phone.
"Connor! Your supposed to be unpacking!"
He just looked up at me for a second and then back at his phone.
"Oh Whatever, I need your help! I just met this guy an--"
"Wait a guy! Where is he?!?" Did he hurt you? Do I need to kill him?" Connor got up and clenched his fists.
"What? No! Connor listen, I haven't ever believed in love at first sight but I think I do now."
"Are you kidding me? What's his name?"
i stopped for a minute to realize that I never asked his name.
"Seriously, I think you should at least know your lovers name!"
Connor just looked back at his phone and ignored me.
"Okay, Okay. You will understand when you hear the story"
And with that, I told Connor all about the bumping into the door and meeting him. And the teasing, and his smile.
****
"If you are really gonna believe this whole 'love at first sight' thing, you should at least get his name."
I lay down on the bare bed next to Connor, trying to think of how to find him again. Connor got up and went over to his suite case and took out his registration booklet.

"What are you doing, Con?" I asked still staring on the. ceiling.
He didn't answer.
"Con?"
I sat up and saw him concentrated on the booklet. Standing up, I walked over to him and examined the page with him.
"It has all the new students coming in this semester and their pictures, so if he is new this semester, we will find him" Connor announced not taking his eyes off the page.
We both looked through the booklet, and on page three, I found the mystery guy.

"That's Him!" I said pointing to the boy," Jameson Bergeron?"
Connor laughed out loud. I looked at him with a confused look.
Through his laugh, he managed to say, " Is your mystery guy some sort of Prince!?!"
"Shut up! I love his elegAnt name!"
I play shoved him and he glared at me,

Taking Connor's phone off the bed, I typed in 'James Berergon' into the Twitter search box. Only one profile came up and I clicked on it.
"Connor, look!"
He came over to the bed and sat down next to me. We looked at his profile together.

****
After about 10 minutes of cruising, I summarized what I found.

"So he is 19, lives in San Diego, and is a baseball player, and best of all, he is SINGLE!"
Cononor rolled his eyes without saying anything.

"Okay, Connor. You have to help me get to know this guy. I think there is really something between us."
"Yeah, how about 10 years of being childhood best friends."
Connor always acts like he is jealous when I talk to other guys, but he just doesn't want me to get hurt. He only likes me as a friend, and boy am I glad.
"Oh, Shut up! Nothing will come between you and I. Now will you pleeeeease help me?"
There was a moment of silence. I turned and gave his the best puppy dog eyes I had.

"Ugh. Fine." Connor said. He snatched his phone from me and quickly clicked follow on James Profile before turning it off.
I hugged him with a cheesy smile spread across my face.
