What About Us?

Chapter 2

3 Months Later

"WELCOME PARENTS TO THE CLASS OF 2016'S GRADUATION!" I hear the principal say. Then we start walking, just as we had practiced. We sit on the "special" chairs, just as the valedictorian started talking. After all that boring stuff happens, is where I see which college all my friends are going to, and by friends I mean Dylan, because she actually never told me which university she was going to.

"Dylan Smith, our scholar to the University of California Berkeley!"

"Meredith Anderson, Juilliard School of Performing Arts"

"Daniel Garcia, University of California Los Angeles,"

"Laura Mendez, University of California Los Angeles,"

After many more people get their diplomas, we all rise and throw our caps as our headmaster says "There you have it Lowell's Class of 2016!"

3 More Months Later

"OK mom, yea, yea. No partying after eleven, no drinking nor smoking, and no having sex,"

"Ok. Ugh, my little baby, is growing up. Look at you! Adam, say goodbye to your sister,"

"Goodbye Laura..." my 15 year old brother says.

"Bye Adam."

"WAIT! PICTURE!"

"Mom," Adam and I groan. After she takes the picture, her eyes start to get watery.

"Mom, its alright, I'll call you ok? Just so you can stop worrying,"

"No, it's not that, Laura, my little Laura, it's just that it feels like yesterday you were in my hands with your father at my side, and you opened your eyes for the first time,"

"Alright mom, I'll see you later."

My mom drove away, and I just stood there for about 2 minutes, just breathing in the Los Angeles air, which was way different from the San Francisco foggy air. The sun shines bright, like it is leading the path to my future. I step into the campus. And as soon as I do, I regret it.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Be careful!" someone says, as we both collide and fall to the ground. I sit there on the floor, rubbing my head.

"fuck..." I whisper under my breath

."Oh shit, sorry are you ok? I didn't mean to? Are you fine? Do you need an ambulance or something?"

"No, its fine. Wow, I'm starting my year to a great start."

"Wow, are you really this sarcastic," he says and he helps me get up.

"No. I only get sarcastic only when I am hurt or someone gets on my nerves."

"I don't think we've met, I'm Robert."

"Nice to meet you Robert, I'm Laura."

"Wow, that's a pretty name, are you new here?"

"Yeah. How'd you know?"

"Well, no freshman ever walks through here, this is like gang territory, but not for a gang, but for juniors. Since seniors only care about graduating, they don't really tend to care about stuff like this. So the Juniors take it all."

"Wow."

"Do you need help finding your dorm?"

"Sure."

As we walk, I'm looking all around for Daniel. He's probably not here Laura or he's in his dorm already.

"So here's your dorm building. You're lucky, you get the best freshman hall, yet the worst is that up there," he points up, "Is where most parties happen and where most of the populars hang out, no one is ever permitted there unless you know someone that is popular. No nobodies are allowed up there. Up there is also where the celebrities kids' live there," he says. I take it all in, imaging my kids up there, someday.

"Well, thank you Robert," I say as I get my boxes and go into the freshman hall.

"Dorm number 28, first floor. Here it is," I open the door, and I see my roommate, well the back of her blonde head first. She turns around when I close the door.

"Hey, are you Laura, my roommate?"

"Yea, and you are?"

"I'm Lily, short for Lilian."

"So is that your side of the room?" I said pointing to the little light blue bed side.

"Yeah, if its fine with you?"

"Well, I don't want you to move after you've already fixed it so yeah it's fine,"

"Great," she said, as she continued working on her PC. I get situated and start organizing my stuff. "Oh hey, I need to leave, go to do this stuff," she says as she grabs her combat boots.

"Oh ok, that's fine," I said. When she left, and I knew that the coast was clear, I went onto my blog.

Hello People!Its Luna. And... drumroll please! I am now in college. Yes, you read right. College. University of California Los Angeles. Since I am now in college, I will probably have some for free time to actually update, more than I did when I was in high school. So I'm logging off for now. xoxo Luna.

I log off and start to get my side of the room to my like feeling while my roommate, Lily, is off doing whatever she's doing late in the afternoon. I put my lavender polka-dot sheets and my laptop on my desk. Put everything else in their place. I looked over to the clock. 8:00 pm. Well, I wasted like 3 hours on just this. I don't have anything else to do. I lay in my bed, headphones in, ignoring the world. Just as I was going to drift off into sleep world, someone banged the door. I immediately jump up, not knowing what just happened.
