Not So Sweet

Chapter 1

POV Anabella

"Ana, I don't get the big deal you don't HAVE to transfer" Blair said in a sing song voice over the phone.
We have been FaceTiming for about 2 hours going back and forth about my decision to "run from my problems" as she likes to put it.
"B, I literally do I can't step foot onto that stage without reliving what happened. It's not like everyone will just forget all about it, even my professor said this was something he will be thinking about for future performances" my tone exasperated, trying to get my best friend to understand.
"Look I'm not saying it's going to go away but you have to learn how to handle when you fuck up"
"Yeah yeah I know whatever, I'm applying to schools whether you like it or not it's my decision"
"You're right it is your decision. I'll support you in whatever you decide, I just want what's best for you" she lets out a big sigh "Let me know how it goes I have to get to class. I love you pookie"
"I love you too"
Blairs brown hair and blue eyes disappear from my phone screen, and just like that I feel all alone again. I never realized how hard it would be to go through college without my best friend by my side, she's been with me through everything.
We met when my parents put me into the local children's theatre and there she was little miss Blair yelling at a boy who was trying to make fun of her dress. From that moment I knew we were going to be good friends, and we have all throughout high school and even now at different colleges.
Focusing back to my computer I open to my school email, starting a draft to my favorite professor looking for some guidance

To: LillianWilliam@UWM.edu
From: AnabellaCollins@UWM.edu
Good morning, Lilly
As you may know I'm looking for a fresh start someplace else, obviously I'm sad it means I have to leave you but at the moment it's what feels right for me. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on universities you think would be a good fit for me.
Thank you for everything you've done.
- Ana

After reading it over I send it anxiety spreading throughout my body. I hope she doesn't try and talk me out of this, it will make leaving that little bit harder.
Reflecting at my time at The University of Wisconsin Madison it's a great school, has a great music program and professors. I've just had a hard time making friends, the way the program is set up here it makes your peers your competition instead of classmates. I've also messed up big time and maybe I do have a problem with running away, that's just something I'll address at my new school.

POV Paige

The whole UConn women's basketball team got called into meet with the dean of students. We are all currently sitting on the bleachers chatting about what this could be about
"Do you think we are in trouble, we haven't even done anything yet" Ice says while she's scrolling through her instagram
"I have no clue actually usually Geno gives me a heads up if we got into some sort of trouble with the dean" I say a little irritated our season hasn't even started yet and we are having a surprise meeting with the dean. He comes out holding a microphone along with Geno and some other Professor I think.
"Thank you for coming on short notice, however I know where you guys live so it wouldn't be too hard to track you down" he laughs at his own joke, the new students laugh out of pity everyone else rolls their eyes.
"So as you guys know you are one of our more successful programs bringing in a lot of money for the school. We have another program here that is just starting this year and has the potential to make our school great. We will be starting a music program, Miss Smith will be the head of the program." There is murmuring coming from the team we are all wondering what that has to do with us. I shift uncomfortable sitting in the bleachers.
"So since your program is thriving, Geno and Miss Smith have agreed that it would be a good idea to partner you guys up with students from the music program to help them learn more about UConn and being apart of something amazing here" a collective groan echoed.
"So on top of training, school, travel and games we are expected to go out of our way to spend time with someone we don't even know" I whisper to KK who's sitting on the other side of me
"Girl boo, this is gunna be fun you're just grumpy because this meeting is cutting into your nap time"
I just roll my eyes in response because she's right. All I want is to take a nap right now.
"Since it is still before school officially starts, the music students will be moving in on Monday morning, Tuesday evening we will have a little social set up here in the gym for you guys to mingle, we will then par you guys up and will have the rest of the time to get to know your partner. See you you all in 4 days your dismissed"
We all stand I turn to Ice, KK and Aubrey "Well this should be interesting" I say while I yawn.
