"I know,but you're thousands of miles away from me. I can't protect you." She says through the phone.
"I can take care of myself." I say.
"I know,Luna." She says.
My über stops,in front of my dorm hall. I t looks beautiful. More beautiful than it did on the website. There are flowers growing from every angle. My eyes light up,at the idea of my life starting.
I get out of the car and walk to the trunk. It pops open and get all of my bags out,with the help of my driver. I thank him and walk into the talk building. I go to the receptionist and she smiles at me.
"Hi." She says.
"Hi. Can you tell me my dorm room number?" I ask.
"Sure. Can I get your name please?" She asks.
"Luna Morgan." I say.
She turns to her computer and types something. I hear her acrylic nails tap against the keys of the keyboard. She guides her hand to the mouse. She rolls over to the printer,in her rolling chair, and gets a sheet of freshly printed paper.
She hands me the paper.
"Ok, so you're in dorm 101. Your roommate hasn't come yet so that's good for you." She says.
"Thank you." I say.
"No problem. It's my job. My name is Jas if you need anything." She says.
"Okay,Jas." I say.
I walk to my room. I pass many rooms,before I make it to my own. I open the door, with the key that Jas gave to me. It swings open and I put my bags down, on the bed that I claim as mine. I close the door and change clothes.
I take off my clothes and unzip my suitcase. I get some clean items and put them on my body.

I unlock the door and walk to orientation. Orientation is important to me. Not only will it give me information about my classes,but I'll get to meet new people. I've never been outgoing,so college can give me a fresh start.

I sit in the classroom room,bored out of my mind. I've been here for two hours and my eyes are starting to feel heavy. I put my head down and my forehead touches the cold wooden desk top. I doze off,but someone taps my shoulder. I pick my head up and look to my left. I see a very handsome guy. He has very chiseled features and his hair is the perfect roasted brown.
"Sorry to wake you,but do you have anything to eat?" He asks.
"Um..sure." I say.
I reach into my purse and take out a piece of bubblegum. I hand it to him and he unwraps it. He pops it into his mouth and chews the gum slowly.
"Thank you." He says.
"No problem." I say.
I turn my attention back to the professor,but he leans over to me.
"This is so boring." He says.
"Tell me about it." I say.
"You're funny. What's your name?" He asks.
"Luna." I say.
"Grayson." He says shaking my hand.
"Nice to meet you,Grayson." I say.
"So, are you from around here?" He asks.
"No. I'm actually from New Jersey." I say.
"Me too." He smiles.

Orientation is finally over. I pull my phone out,from my back pocket and push the home button. It's 11:52 p.m. All I want to do now is sleep. I open the door to my building and see Jas.
"Hey,Luna." She says.
"Hey,Jas." I say.
"Your roommate checked in." She says.
"Really? Is she nice?" I ask.
"I don't know. She checked in while I was on break. Her name is Bailey Dolan." She says.
I nod my head and walk to my dorm. I unlock the door and close it. I get in my bed,but I feel something next to me. I touch it,up and down. It's a person. I quickly get out of the bed and turn the light on.
I caught by surprise,when I see a male body. He has a very built figure.
