I walked into my dorm room and Marcus helped me grab my unpacked boxes. We loaded the furniture in his truck and some boxes and the rest went in my car.

We drove a few blocks away from the campus. 'I could walk to class if I wanted.' We took the lift up to the 7th floor. He walked down the hall till we got to the door of his flat. He unlocked the door and took the boxes into the living room we made several trips on the lift, but we got everything in the flat. Marcus then grabbed some boxes and walked to a bedroom.

"This is your bedroom and the bathroom is right here." He said pointing to one of the doors in the room. "The bathroom connects to the music room." He walked through the bathroom and into the music room.

He closed the door and the door didn't even look like it existed. The room looked just like my old music room. Marcus left and came back with my instruments. He set them down in their cases and I grabbed the drum set and started setting up.

I walked over to the recording booth and saw the sound board. I moved the switches and walked into the booth. I put on the headphones and tried it out.

"Testing, testing 1, 2" I said into the mic

"Go ahead I got you." Marcus started to fiddle with the controls. "The song is My World- Avril Lavigne," Marcus said through the telecom. the music started and I started singing.

"Please tell me what is takin' place? 

'Cos I can't seem to find a trace 

Guess it must have got erased somehow 

Probably 'cos, I always forget 

Every time someone tells me their name 

It's always gotta be the same 

In my world

Never wore a cover-up 

Always beat the boys up 

Grew up in a five thousand population town 

Made my money by cuttin' grass 

Got fired by fried chicken ass 

All in a small town, Napanee

You know I always stay up without sleepin' 

And think to myself  

'Where do I belong forever 

In whose arms, the time and place?'

Can't help it if I space in a daze 

My eyes tune out the other way 

I may switch off and go in a daydream 

In this head my thoughts are deep 

But sometimes I can't even speak 

Will someone be and not pretend, I'm off again in my world?

I never spend less than an hour 

Washin' my hair in the shower 

It always takes five hours to make it straight 

So I'll braid it in a Zillion braids 

Though it may take a friggin' day 

There's nothin' else better to do anyway

When you're all alone in the lands of forever 

Lay under the Milky Way 

On and on it's gettin' too late out 

I'm not in love this time, this night

Can't help it if I space in a daze 

My eyes tune out the other way 

I may switch off and go in a daydream 

In this head my thoughts are deep 

But sometimes I can't even speak 

Will someone be and not pretend, I'm off again in my world?

I take some time 

Mellow out 

Party up 

I don't fall down 

Don't get caught 

Sneak out of the house

Can't help it if I space in a daze 

My eyes tune out the other way 

I may switch off and go in a daydream 

In this head my thoughts are deep 

But sometimes I can't even speak 

Will someone be and not pretend, I'm off again in my world? 

Can't help it if I space in a daze 

My eyes tune out the other way 

I may switch off and go in a daydream 

In this head my thoughts are deep 

But sometimes I can't even speak 

Will someone be and not pretend, I'm off again in my world"

Marcus gave me a thumbs up. I took off the headphones and put them on the stand and walked out of the booth. I walked over to the soundboard, but Marcus pushed me away.

"Go unpack. I know how to use this so I'll do this. Just get settled in." Marcus pushed me out the door.

I went to my room and grabbed the screw driver and started putting my bed together. 5 minutes later my bed was put together and my mattress and duvet were on my new bed. I went to put my dressers up and 9 minutes I had both my dressers up and clothes packed in. I walked to the closet and put some more clothes there to. I set up my desk so it is in the closet and if the closet door is closed the desk disappears. 'I'm a genius.'

I walked over to another box and grabbed the old scrapbook I opened it to the newer pages. My mum had put more pictures in. I found another picture of my aunt with her family; it had her, Yaser, 3 girls and the one boy, Zain. Also, I found a picture of Anne and her family as well. I looked at both pictures. 'I'm looking for you and I'm going to find you.'

"Li come over here!" Marcus yelled.

I walked back into the music room and when I stepped in and plopped on the couch the music started again and my voice came through the speakers. It sounded beautiful.

"Ooh you are going to love living here." Marcus told me excitedly.

"Yeah, so what are we having for dinner?" I asked and on cue my stomach growled.

"Um I'm way to lazy to cook right now so let's go out. I'll take you to this place you've probably never heard of. It's called Nandos"

"Yeah your right I've never heard of it and let's go I'm hungry."

Marcus grabbed his keys and told me to stay here. He gave me my own copy of the key as he left. I walked out the door and decided to look around the building. 'Time to explore. This is going to be an adventure'
