"Mom I'll be fine", I whisper for the third time to my mom
"Honey, call me OK? " she asks tears threatening to flow.
"Yes mom, I love you " I answer through her tight hold
"I love you too dear, now make me proud"
She pulls away from be flashing her proudest smile.
She hurry through the Hall way of the dorm while waving me her final goodbye. Of course I could make her proud, I always did.
I push the key to my new home, room 350. My hand moving upward to turn the knob and there it was, as the door open in front of my eyes I saw my future just by looking in this silly dorm room.
Sharing a room with someone would practically mean becoming friends with then.
After my best friend lost my trust by sleeping with my boyfriend, I gave up on the whole friendship thing but now I really need someone. It's been six months and It still hurt from the taught of them together.
My phone vibrates on the desk bringing me out of my thoughts. I took a few steps forward and grab it from the desk answering it before looking to see who is calling.
"Hello" I answer
"Lucy?" the person on the receiving end asks
I recognize the voice of the caller as my ex James, the one that cheated on me.
"What do you want?" I answer with annoyance
"Lucy, please hear me out" James begs
"Bye James" I respond while removing the phone from my ear and placing it back where I found it.
Why would he call me? I changes my number for crying out loud.
I climb onto my bed and stared at the ceiling, I watch the blades of the fan move around on till I felt sleepy.

"No it wasn't that.... " a girl stops at the sight of me on the bed.
She has long blonde hair and a pair of sky blue eyes. Wearing a black tan top and a well fitting pair of jeans and a black pair of heels. With her hair flowing because of the effect of the wind and her lips turning in a warm smile.
I quickly move to her in an attempt to make her know who I am.
"uh, I'm Lucy" I said sticking out my hand
"oh, I'm Sally" she respond as she took my hand and Shake it.
I took my hands from her grab and smile at her.
"so I guess your my new roommate?" she asks as she return a smile
"yea, I guess so" I answer
We stare at each other as if we could see beyond each other faces.
"so let's get our stuff in, " I broke the silence while directing my attention to both of our set of bags.
" yea, you just got here?" she asks as she moved over to our bag
I actually left them there and fell asleep but I wasn't sure if she should know why I couldn't put them away first before my nap
"no, actually I think I've been here for a few hours" I answer
A puzzled look came over her face as she stared at my bags and my naked bed.
"long trip, I guess" I continue
"yea, I get it" she respond
"so where you from? " I ask trying to remove the tension
" Here in New York " she quickly answer
That explains her accent, it was hard to put my head around the first time I heard her speak but once she said it I had recognized.
"how about you? "I asks after observing my silence
" actually am from here in new York" I respond while putting the last of my bags on my bed
I had decide from the day I went into the fifth grade that I would go to new York university and board. My home was too far away from campus after all.
"let's get unpacked " Sally said as she unzipped one of her bags
" yeah, what are you majoring in?" I had to ask
" Architecture Engineering and I suppose your going for creative writing? "she asks looking up at me
She was correct, I had written a few novels before and taught I would become a writer due to the success In each novel.
"yeah, how did you know? "I respond with a smile
She laugh" I've read your books, they are pretty good"
"Thanks, I hadn't taught people where still interested in my book"
"Well I always am, after my dad bought me the first couple two years ago I had to buy the others"
Sally's words brought back the memory of the first day my book had been published, mom was overwhelmed and dad couldn't stop smiling. People from all over the world came by our house and after my book tours had finished I had to get a tutor.
That's how I met James, that gorgeous, intelligent young man swept me off my feet the moment I laid eyes on him.
"Lucy! " Sally yell to bring me from my thoughts
" uh, day dreaming" I answer with a smile
"Any upcoming stories? "
" Not right now at least"
By now all clothes where neatly packed away and I had just remembered the last time I had ate, this morning.
" How about lunch, on me?" I asks
"Can't say no to that" she answer with a smile
We head for the door and decided on chuck's deli.
I know it's boring but bear with me. Hurry to chapter three☺☺☺
Well that's it, chapter one. I apologize for not using a popular place in new York, I've never been there before.
Comment and remember to like my chapter.
