I checked my phone for the tenth time and just like the previous nine times I checked it, the home screen remained notification-free. I sighed and leaned my head against the backseat window.

"Are you waiting for a text from somebody, dear?" my mom said, turning to look at me.

"No," I partially lied. It had been my fault for not really getting to know the other students in my classes, but then again, I had a feeling I wasn't going to stay long at that college. Ever since I was young, I had always been switching around schools as my parents got transferred to different clinics and hospitals to assist the medical staff. As a result, it was hard to find people I really was able to connect with...except for that one time...

In the place I was living in during high school, there was a camp that brought together the brightest minds in our area and as one of the lucky 100, I was selected to participate in it. It was a nerd Coachella of sorts but it was there I made an amazing friend, his camp name was Gray. We spent a lot of time together and really connected although it was a pity we lost touch.

The college I was transferring into is called Courtley University which I have researched about online and found it was a highly reputable school for kids going into all different kinds of majors as a result, over time it became known as a rich kid school. I on the other hand had gotten a scholarship into it thanks to my parents being reputable doctors in the field and my grades being very high for a student who doesn't stay at one school in one place for a long time.

"Your father and I have worked it out with the university so you can finish your college there instead of having to follow us around. You'll be in an apartment style dorm with two other girls in a female dorm building. Hope you can become friends with them," My mother paused and looked at me, "Your father and I truly hope you can experience how wonderful college life is. Maybe even find a boyfriend." I nodded silently.

"I'm sorry we have put you through all this moving throughout your life sweetie." My father added, "You have been so wonderful in accepting our determination to keep you close by our side all these years. You have always amazed me how you can really adapt to whatever environment we put you in and not complain. I have to say I'm proud and grateful for having a daughter like you." My mom patted him on the shoulder and turned to smile sweetly at me.

"Thanks," I said softly and resumed looking out the window at the highway that slowly became intermingled with the city as I got closer to the university.
