Flying High

CHAPTER 8

CAROLINE'S P.O.V

I gestured him to go inside since I was barely able to hold back my tears, but I guess he's more stubborn than me so I let a tear escape my eye hoping he wouldn't see it. I waved goodbye and walked to my home looking down. I reached the door and we counted to three before both of us walked in. I closed the door and ran to my room closing the door then sitting down, this is it we're both considered grown ups now. The tears escaping my eyes weren't sadness those tears were happiness.

I decided to pack my bags and call Marry telling her to come over. She accepted it before I even finished my sentence.

" What did he do because I swear he won't make it to Atlanta if he hurt you" she said when she saw my eyes she was the only one who knew how many times I've really cried.

" No, he didn't do anything, I'm just feeling weird, you know, there was all this emotional tension and I didn't know any other way to take it out" I said smiling. I looked at one of my books realizing that I was using a picture we had taken  during our vacation.

" Why are you looking at this" Marry questioned taking it and she opened and saw the pictures we had taken in a photo booth, I felt embarrassed by it and I started blushing.

" Can I be the one who will be on the first row at your wedding with Dylan? Dyline for life" Marry said smiling and I groaned falling on my bed covering my face with my hands as I laughed.

" Carrie is in love with Dylan" Marry started chanting and I laughed even harder, at some I had to stop in order to catch my breath.

" Do you have your bags ready?" I asked and she laughed at my arrogance.

" They are already in a room in campus and I have arranged it so that we will share a room" She shrieked and I smiled, she was still holding the pictures of me and Dylan and I noticed that we might have spent a little more time in there

* FLASHBACK*

" Just smile and act natural for fuck's sake"  Dylan said and I smiled and when we were done we went inside again and took pictures again this time we got a little closer and we seemed more foolish in the last two pictures we started looking at each other. Click. then we came so close that our lips where brushing. Click. then not having heard the click I kissed Dylan and he kissed me back. It was like this sort of summer boyfriend that you know it's impossible to last.

We got out and kept wandering at the fair. we even took a ride at the ferris wheel the view was breathtaking, but since I had an underlying fear of heights I was glued next to Dylan.

" And you want to be remembered as fearless" he said mockingly. I rolled my eyes.

" And you're afraid of drowning" I said back, it wasn't really an argument I just had to say something.

* END OF FLASHBACK*

" Earth to Caroline" Marry said waving a hand in front of my eyes so I blinked quickly to snap out of it.

" Give me the picture I'll lose the page on my book" I said subtly trying to get them back.

After half an hour of helping me pack everything that I needed. My entire wardrobe, my phone a couple of pictures my laptop, books, pillow and some other things that Marry said I'll need them. When I came downstairs and my parents saw me my mum started crying because she would miss me. Well, I would be gone for the next 4 years including some of the holidays.

" If you ever feel lonely you can call us sweetheart no matter what time it is. Even at 5 am I will answer" she said while wiping her tears.

" Calm down Lora, she's not going to Vietnam or to serve in the military" my dad said and I laughed, the last one to appear was Nick my brother who was preparing to leave since he would move with Julia in September.

" I will miss your annoying ass" he said giving me a hug and I couldn't help but laugh.
 

" I will miss you too and be careful I don't want to be an aunt and nor do our parents want to become grandparents in this age" I laughed and it earned me a punch in my arm.

Me and Marry got in my car and we drove off laughing, we sand at the top of our lungs soon we would be in college. We arrived quite early and she took me to check in as she said she would carry my bags in our dorm. As soon as I reached my room I saw Marry make out with someone, it wasn't jack, that guy had read hair definitely natural and Jack had jet black hair.

" Oh Carrie, meet George" she blushed and he simply gave me a nod, I looked at her and gave her an approving look until I got to know him better.

" I, uh, I'm going to take a walk outside besides I should call my parents and Dylan" I said and I quickly covered my mouth I didn't mean to say that and Marry gave me a cheesy smile and nodded in approval too.

I went outside and called my parents telling them I got to campus safely and that everything is going great I actually stalled telling them anything that would come to my head so that I could make sure that Dylan would have reached Atlanta.

After I hung up I took my time walking outside the sororities and I heard a few whistles from the guys a few girlfriends punching their arms when they heard the whistle. I sat down at a bench making sure that no one would be eavesdropping. I texted Dylan asking him if I should call him or face time with him.

His answer was immediate since Dylan requested me to face time with him and so I accepted it and I smiled when I saw his cute face.

" Hey, Dork" I said smiling.

" How's it going?" I asked and he nodded with a smile he appeared to be in some kind of apartment.

" It's great, geek" he said and I laughed I can't believe we still use those terms.

" They actually accepted you in school with those hair" he said sarcastically and I wrinkled my nose.

" What are the noises?" I asked since I've been hearing strange noises since the beginning of the call.

" It's my friend Tyler Posey" he said he turned the phone and he waved and I said hi.

" He thought you where my mum" he said and I frowned thinking why he included his last name too.

" There is another Tyler his last name is Hoechlin and he's older than both me Ty and you" he said and I nodded I wondered what he would look like, because when Dylan said older he meant a day older or 10 years older there was no in between.

" Anyway how was it?" I asked

" It's was insane, there were all those people with the cameras and we did a couple of scenes the show will start in June" he said and I nodded telling him I would watch it no matter how terrible his acting would be.

" I got to go geek"

" Me too Dork, I'll call again and if you can give me a picture of that Hoechlin guy I'm curious" I said before ending the call.

I went back to the room and Marry was alone watching TV, when she saw me we started talking and she explained how she broke up with her boyfriend because they both wanted to be single when they went to college.

I lied down and had a hard time adjusting since I was used to having a queen sized bed so it would take me a while to get used to it.
