Sweet and occasionally wild, Carmen Fuller never imagined how much her life would change once she moved into her college dorm room at the University of Miami with her best friend Eryn, but after meeting Fraternity members, Princeton Vance and Levi P...

"Do you not like that one," I hear Chance say. I'm still in a daze. Is it really him? How could it really be him? Last thing I heard, he was going to some college in Maryland, so how was he here?
"Umm..., it is nice but... but what are you doing here," I manage to get out stumbling over a few words.
"What do you mean Bryn?"
"Why are you here," I said slowly making sure to pronounce every letter. "Why are you in Pandora, in this mall, and most importantly in Miami?" I could feel the anger slowly growing inside of me as I remembered everything he had done to me. From him leaking a video he secretly filmed to him sleeping around to hurt me, I remembered it. I remembered it as if it was yesterday.
A mischievous little smile grew on his face, a smile I used to love and do anything in the world to see, but now, all I want to do is smack it right off of his face.
"It's a free world baby, and I can go anywhere I damn well please. So, if that's Miami or the University of Miami then so be it." He leaned closer to me making me shake with some small amount of fear.
"You knew I was planning on coming here. Why would you even..." he interrupted me before I could finish.
"Yeah, I did know you and Eryn had planned on coming her together, but everything is not about you. Maybe I came here for me and my future or, maybe I came to see you. Either way I'm here." Everything in me was again frozen and his words were hitting me one by one riping my perfect college experience up by the roots. My plans for making my way back to the Carmen I used to be, the free and easy-going Carmen, had just vanished. Seeing Chance was proof that I was not ready to let go so easily. If anything, I had to be more cautious knowing he is back around.
I turned my head and looked around for Eryn who had just paid for her merchandise and was walking over towards me. Her face turned immediately angry at the sight of Chance.
"You ready to go," Eryn said to me not even acknowledging Chance's presence.
"Well, hello to you to Eryn," Chance said sarcastically.
"What are you even doing in Miami," Eryn responded snappily.
"Hey now, I'm not the one you ought to be feisty with. I just came to visit good old Bryn here. Maybe all 3 of us will have a class or so together."
"What the hell do you mean a class?"
"Oh yeah, University of Miami, I go there too," he said with his wretched smile plastered on his face. Eryn turned her head to me slowly with a shocked yet horrified look on her face. "I better be going, got a busy day ahead of me," Chance said turning and waving over his shoulder. He stopped once he was out of the Pandora entrance. "By the way Eryn, it so cool of you to let Sterling hang out with that girl, what's her name, Jen, even though everyone knows her for being easy. Glad you have so much self-confidence."
