"Alright sweetie do you have everything?" My mom asks, closing the trunk to her car. I look at my paper slip and nod " Alright sweetie, I am so proud of you! Do good." Yea your so proud of me it's almost like you weren't fucking screaming at me about being a disappointment last night

"I will." I say looking at my feet. She lifts my chin up and gives me a hug "bye mom" I say practically pushing her off me

"Bye honey." She waves to me as I walk away with my bags.

I walk in and see a open table and walk up to it

"Hello, can you tell me your first and last name?" The lady behind the table asks

"Ella Macher." I say biting the inside of my cheek

"Already here you are. Here's your dorm number and keys." She hands me a paper and keys and I nod thankfully

I walk towards the dorms and see a group of kids talking outside a door, they all look at me then back at each other, I look past them and see their outside my dorm

"Um excuse me your in front of my room." I say politely. The two boys in the group look at me then each other

"Our roommate is a girl?" One asks as the other just looks dumbfounded

"Can I get through or not?" I ask

"Ella?" A girl ,I recognize her, wait

"Anika?!" My eyes widened

"You guys know each other." A girl asks

"Know each other? I practically lived at her house over the summers!" Anika and I laugh

"Please tell me she's not your ex. Cause I can't beat her." Another looks at Anika and points to me

"What no! We've been best friends since 3rd grade." Anika throws her hands up

"Alright it was fun talking to you guys but I have a shit load of things to unpack, so can I get in?" I ask again

"What? Oh yea, yea pick whatever room you want we haven't chosen yet." They say moving to the side. I walk in and look in the rooms. They all have good things about them one of them has a bigger closet, one has its own bathroom, and the other has the best view. I chose the last one and place my stuff on the bed, I walk over to the window and look out

"It's a great view." Someone says, I turn around and see one of the boys in my doorway "I'm Ethan, Ethan Landry." He says giving me a warm smile , I smile back

"I'm Ella" I find myself biting at my inner cheek again

"Do you have a last name Ella?" He asks, I look past him and see all his friends in the kitchen one girl was looking at me, she looks older then the other. I walk over to Ethan and pull him in my room and shut my door

"If I tell you I don't think you'll want talk to me anymore." I look at him as he rubs his elbow, he's scared, no nervous. "My name is Ella Macher." I look down

"Macher? Isn't that-"

"Yup, and yes that means Stu Macher is my father"

"Oh shit!" His eyes widen and so do mine I look at the door or a moment then back at him "you're dad-" I cut him of by covering his mouth with my hand

"Please," I look at him "don't." He looks at me then nods I take my hand off his mouth and his lips spread apart

"My friend out there," he looks at the door then me  "her dad is Billy Loomis, you should talk to her." He touches my arm, I nod. He goes to the door and peaks his head out "hey Sam, can you come here?" He asks then opens the door some more
