"samantha this is your sixth alarm you've set, get up please!!" sams mom yelled from the kitchen. sam has always been a heavy sleeper ever since she was a baby, but today was important so she knew she couldn't just lay in bed and watch movies like she wanted to do. she was moving into her dorm with her new roommate lucia. lucia and sam have been face-timing for the past month and have grown very fond of each other. they're excited to explore the wonders of college life together.
"who dropped off these flowers?" sam said picking up the flowers that were sitting on the kitchen island. "is that even a question sam..." her mom responded. "i was just hoping it wasn't him" as she let out a deep sigh.

sam almost threw up reading that last text message from eli so she decided not to respond considering the harm it could cause her mental health. she loved eli, she really did, but not in the way she used to when they were juniors in highschool. she wanted something more than what she was receiving, but she also knew that she couldn't break up with him right before she moved away because he would grill her about why and who was in boston that gave her what he couldn't.
"mom these pancakes are so good... be honest did you put crack in them" sam spoke. "i guess we'll find out won't we"
sam and her mom clara have always had such a great relationship. her parents got divorced because her dad was a narcissistic liar. she still sees him on occasion but she knows to keep her distance when it comes to him. he lives in new york with his new wife and they have a baby on the way.
"have you spoke to your father this week?" mom asks putting her fork down. "no but i'll call him today to update him when i get to BU." she said stuffing the last bite of pancake in her mouth
sam and her mom cleaned all the dishes and then the moving truck was gonna be here. the truck driver was taking all of her stuff up to boston university, she was going to fly because driving is pointless and classes start on tuesday.

"i love the airport so much" sam told her mom waiting to board the plane. "i'm gonna miss you so much mom." "i'll miss you more baby girl, i'll see you during christmas, that's only like 5 months away" her mom said as she gave her the biggest hug ever.
"flight 327B is now boarding" sam heard the man over the intercom. "that's me mom" she said grabbing all of her things. "i love you so much i'll see you soon" her mom gave her a kiss on the forehead and one last hug before she boarded the plane.
sam started crying as soon as she sat down, she got the window seat, which obviously she enjoyed. she loved looking at all the tiny cars and fields of nothing, it made her feel at peace. she was finally moving on, from what was holding her back in texas. even if she was still with eli. she knew that wouldn't last long while she was 2,000 miles away from him in boston. she's ready for a new start with lucia.
