After hours of driving we finally made it. Here we are, my mom squealed. I got out of the car and grabbed one box and my mom grabbed the other.
layla's pov:
The campus looks just as good in person as it did online, I'm surprised. The buildings are old. Lots of people, parents hugging and kissing their children goodbye, clusters of freshmen, dressed head to toe in University Of Michigan gear. The size of the campus is kind of frightening but hopefully after a couple of weeks it will feel like home. A nice middle aged woman gives me my dorm key and sends me on my way.

"I wanna see your dorm room before I go. I can't believe you are in college! My only daughter, a college student, living on her own. I can't believe it." she pinches my cheeks
My Mom and I are roaming the halls looking for my dorm, dorm 37B. We eventually found it and I put my dorm key in the lock and it creaks open and my mom gasps. The room was small, with two beds. One side covered with posters of bands, some of them I actually listened to. The girl laying across the bed has brunette hair
"Hey," the stranger says with a smile I'm Mia she says and sits up
hey... I'm Layla, I choke,
Welcome to UMich, where the dorms are small and the sports are excellent, the brunette grins.
A knock sounds at the door as i start unpacking my boxes
"Come in!" My roommate yells, the door swings open and a dashing brunette boy walks in
Hey, you Mia's roommate? The brunette boy asks
"Um.. yeah. My name is Layla, I manage to say.
I'm Luca. He says with a smile, reaching out to touch my hand. "I think you're gonna love it here," his smile is so inviting.
'I'm ready Mia says, as she grabs her mini black backpack from the coat rack by her bed and walks back to the brunette boy.
See you around Layla, Luca says and the two of them exit the room. I let out a bit of a sigh and continued to put things away.
My mom and I finish everything. Come on, come on let me take a picture my mom says with excitement. okay, okay I pose got it she smiles she looks at her watch alright I have to go now she opens her arms for a hug and I walks towards her and hugs her tightly. We both pull away soon after and she puts her hands on my shoulders. Be good, make good choices, she looks into my ocean blue eyes and smiles. Tears streaming down both of our faces. She grabs her purse and walks towards the door, opening it and hugging me one last time. If you need anything, call alright?
I nod wiping my eyes. I bet my mascara is all over my face by this point I say with a bit of a laugh my mom walks out and I follow walking her out to the car
She pushes the door open and holds it for me and walks down the stairs towards her car. She gets in and starts it. She looks at me and drives off waving. I wave back.
