How much longer am I going to have to wait for this fucking bus? The thought comes to me as I stand in the August Summer heat dripping sweat down my back. My music is playing loudly through my headphones, and I continue looking up the road hoping the bus will magically appear. After another minute or two, a car pulls up and stops in front of me. A guy with black hair, heavy tattoos, and dressed in all black rolls down the window. I take off my headphones as his window rolls down. He looks me over once before saying "If you are waiting for the bus to Campus you will be waiting a while. They go on lunch at 12 so the buses stop for a while." I let out many curse words and said thank you before starting to walk toward campus. The guy calls out to me and I stop in my tracks.
"If you want a ride to campus I can give you one. I am heading that way anyway." I think it over for a minute and even though I know to not get in cars with people we don't know I really do not want to walk to class especially since I am wearing a hoodie. I sigh and say fine before opening the door to his car and getting in. I guess that if I do die at least the last person I saw was really hot.
"So, I am gonna guess you are new to town and campus since you didn't know about the buses," the guy says as he makes his way down the road which I can only assume is towards campus.
"Yeah. My aunt decided I needed to go to Kansas State for college so here I am. I don't really want to be here but she is paying for it so I guess I am stuck here. I technically move in tomorrow but I needed to come to campus to meet with my advisor and get all my stuff for the first day." I say just looking out the window at all the passing houses and apartments.
"That kind of sucks. This place is a total drab, but at least you now know me which is the best thing to happen to most people." I just roll my eyes at the mystery boy because he seems very stuck up. "Anyway," he continues "this is where I must leave you. The academic advisors' office is right in that building." He points to the massive building next to us and I nod as I grab my bag and open the door.
Before I leave the car he grabs my arm and says "Before you go I need to know the name of the pretty girl I drove around."
"Lydia Darling. And you are?" I question him.
"Colby Brock," he says letting go of my arm and extending a hand out to me. "Nice to meet you," we both say as we shake hands.
I make it the full way out of his car and before he drives away he tips his head and me and says "I will see you around Darling," and speeds off. What a dick!
-----------------------------------------------------------
The day ended up being pretty boring but productive. I was able to finalize my schedule for tomorrow, get my books, get my ID, and got my key to my dorm room. They said since I enrolled so late that they only had one open room left so I was paired with two random students. I took the bus back to my aunt's house to finish preparing all my items to move in tomorrow.
My aunt is my mom's sister. My mom died when I was in middle school. My father was always very abusive to my mom but she stayed until she died. After she died my dad took his frustration out on me. I didn't take it like my mom and I asked a teacher for help. We called CPS on him and they took him away for a couple hours before he was right back in the house again. I then ended up getting hurt worse for telling on him so I kept my mouth shut after that. I took the abuse from him, hurt myself, tried to kill myself, and everything else under the sun until finally he got taken to prison for a DUI. He got sentenced to 2 years in jail and that is why I am here with my aunt. She is fine but her one condition for me moving in with her was that I had to go to college in the state she lives. I am just glad she is allowing me to stay on campus because I did not want to have to live with her for the next four years.
I finish packing everything from my room after dinner and I am in bed ready for tomorrow before 10. Tomorrow starts a new life for me. A chance to start over. A chance for me to dictate my future and forget about the past. Tomorrow starts the rest of my life.
