A Short Glimpse Of Forever

Chapter 2

Maddison Hunters. Thats me. Awesome name right? I always think its the name of a famous person. And Im right. I am famous...not. The closest thing to famous I ever became was once when I was little and I was on the 5 o'clock news for throwing a winning lottery ticket into the sewer. But that's another story for another time.

Today is my first day of college at UGA. University of Georgia. GO BULLDOGS! Anyways, my little sister Emilynn is helping me unpack. My mother, Falon, is crying. Typical thing right? No, she's not crying because the first daughter she gave birth to is out to fend for herself in this cold cruel world..uh-uh she's crying because she no longer has anyone to compliment her on her everyday outfits. I have a brother too, Harrison. He is excited to take my room. Harrison is the middle kid and only male in the house. Emilynn my littlest sibling is 5 years old and is by far my favorite member of the family. She is reluctant to let me leave and tried to shove herself into my duffel before we left. I would tell you how my father is acting right now but I dont have a father. Well, I did, Im not a sperm baby. He just died when I was little and I don't remember anything about him. 

Im really excited to finally be an adult. My best friend Taylor is in the dorm next to me. I got lucky.

"Maddi? Maddi, stop dozing into space and come finish unpacking. Me, Thing One and Thing Two need to get back on the road." 

"Mom, relax. Im not gonna finish this anyway. Not today at least."

"Okay well then we gotta go."

"No Mommy! We- We didnt finish unpacking and Maddi said I can spend the night!" My little sister protests.

"Emy, I know you're gonna miss your sister but Mommy's gonna miss her show if we don't leave now."

That's another thing I don't get about my family. Our names. Everyone has a really cool name except me. Falon, Harrison, Emilynn...and then Maddison. Great going mom.

"Emy, you have to go. It's a two hour ride back home. You can spend the night another time."

"Fine!" She huffed and ran out of the room. I looked out of my window and saw her run into the car.

"Well, I guess this is it, Maddi. My little baby is all grown up." My mom said with teary eyes.

"Okay, i'll call you later tonight when I get settled."

"Hey, Madd, if you find some sexy college girls that are interested in a sexy 16 year old like me, don't hesistate to call me either." I smack his arm.

"Get out you perv."

I am in between playful punches when Taylor bursts through the door.

"Hi Ms.Hunters!"

"Hey, Taylor. I love the dress."

"Thanks, I got it yesterday at a sale."

"You look hot, Taylor." Harrison says smoothly. He's had a crush on Taylor since the beginning of time.

"Oh I might have to go check out the mall today then. Anyways, I know you ladies want to explore so I'll leave now. Oh and Maddi, please video call Emy later cause you know she'll be crying all day so make sure you call."

"Yeah I know, okay bye." I rush. 

"Well I need a proper hug." She says while squeezing me tightly.

"Bye baby. Bye Taylor!"

"Bye!" We both say in unision as they walk out the door.

"So? See any hot guys yet?" Taylor says plopping herself on the bed.
