Sit by the River

Chapter One

It was cold that day. I didn't bring a coat or a cardigan, at the least. 

I loved to come here and watch the frogs jump from one rock to the next. I loved listening to the birds chirping to each other, and most of all, I loved sitting there, by the river, watching day transform into night.

                                                                                        _________

My mom woke me up by dropping all the drinking glasses in our house, on the floor. I sprang out of the bed and rushed downstairs like a cheetah hunting its prey. 

"What happened!"

"Well you see......umm..... I was trying to do the dishes, you know, like Give you break from doing it and apparently, your not supposed to hold all of the same things at once" My mom said sarcastically.

"Really mom, This is the same exact thing that happened last time, and the time before that, and the time before that." I stated "Maybe you should stop 'trying to help me out' often and instead, doing the laundry, I mean you've never messed that up"

"haha... not funny, anyway when does school start again?"

"In exactly two months from now......Wait, I've only been home for two weeks and your already asking when I'm leaving!"

"Love you, Harper" Mom said said with a sheepish smile on her face

I knew that my mom cared and loved me. We always joked around like this. Two weeks ago, I got home from my Second year of college and It was the best thing that ever happened in my two years of college. I'm dreading going back.  All of my professors Are filled with hatred next year and I have to share a Dorm with Tabatha Black. She was probably the worst person on campus and everyone knew it. Even her two little tag alongs that no one knew the names of. Also, I broke up with my boyfriend last year and he is still furious about it, but I honestly don't know how I got into that relationship last year.  So it sounds like a great idea to just live in the library next year. I mean the librarian loves me and we are great friends, so she can probably let me stay there overnight. In the mornings, I can just use the gym bathrooms because they have showers.

Yea. that sounds like a plan.
