An Arranged Marriage

Chapter 1

Braelyn's POV-

I'm Braelyn, most people call me Brae. I'm currently attending Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, to become a writer of novels, short stories. I couldn't be more excited because im in my second to last year of college which means i'm almost done. It was Fall which means midterms and a whole two months off after that. I was currently studying for my college algebra, creative writing, and art history in the library, until I got a text. It was from my mom.

'Hey Babe, I just wanted to tell you I loved you and I hope you study hard and pass all your midterms, I can't wait for you to be home for Thanksgiving and Christmas'

"Thanks momma, i'll see you soon, love you lots." I clicked off my phone, and went back to studying.

After a couple hours of studying I walked back to my dorm and changed into my work uniform, which was tan shorts and a redshirt, and my QuikTrip name card. I drove to work and clocked in. I worked for nine hours then I clocked out and drove back to campus. On the way back I stopped at chic-fil-a to pick up something to eat. Once I got to my dorm I ate my food, then took a shower and went to sleep so I could wake up for my 8 am class. I woke up the next morning turning off my alarm not trying to wake up my roommate. I got dressed in leggings, a nice peach colored shirt and a tan scarf, and a black pair of black knee high boots. I walked to the bathroom and put my hair into two boxer braids. I brushed my teeth and grabbed my books and walked to class since it was close to my dorm. I walked in and took my seat and opened my notebook. Class soon started.

"Open your notes up to Linear equations and graphing. We will just review for the midterm"

We reviewed for the midterm. All class period.

John POV-

I'm John, but most people call me Swazz I live in California, I hang out with my bestfriend Skate and go on tour with him. It is fall, and we will soon go back to Omaha for thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm currently at the studio with Skate working on a song. It's coming together nicely. My pocket buzzed. I pulled out my phone, it was a text from my mom.

'Hi son, I know you are busy making music with Skate, but I wanted to tell you that I love you and I can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving and Christmas'

"I love you too mom, see you soon" I put my phone back in my pocket.

-2 weeks later-

Brae's POV-

I packed all the stuff I was bringing home and put it in my car. I soon drove my car and headed home. I got home in 5 hours. I got out all my things and walked inside. I sat my stuff down by the door. My parents gave me big hugs.

"Hi sweetie"

"Hi darling"

"Hi momma, Hi daddy"

"How's school going, how did the midterms go"

"I should hear in about 2 weeks from all my teachers, but I feel like they went well"

"That's great dear"

"Thanks momma, I'm going to put my stuff in my room"

"Okay honey, dinner should be done in an hour if you wanna go get cleaned up" I nodded and walked upstairs to my old room. It still looked the same. Heather grey walls with pink Christmas lights wrapping around the top and bottom of the walls. With my writing desk, well organized. My bed cleanly made and old band posters of Nirvana, Kings Of Leon, old Justin Bieber, and other bands. I opened my suitcase and pulled a clean outfit, which was a skirt that stopped right above the knee, and a black halter top with brown boots. I walked to my bathroom and took a shower. Lucky all my shampoo and conditioner and stuff was still in there. I got out and pulled a towel out of the cabinet and dried my body off. I got dressed and did light makeup and walked downstairs looking through unread messages and social media. I sat at the table and put my phone away. When Collin and Keeliegh walked in the door with their stuff.
