A Drop In The Ocean

Chapter 1

"Um hi, um..I was told to come here to get my schedule" I said nervously biting the inside of my cheek. "Yes, whoever told you was right. I'm assuming your new to the state correct?" the front lady asked. "Yes I just moved here a few days ago and I heard this was the best college here" i explain. "Well I'm not gonna lie. It's the best I've ever worked at" the front lady laughs. "I'm gonna need your name hun" she says. "Um it's Frenchescka" I say as she stares at me like I'm dumb. "....Michelson. Frenchescka Michaelson. " I say feeling really embarrassed. "Alright here you go" she says handing me the paper with a smile. "Thank you ma'am"

As I'm walking out I look at my schedule to see all my classes so I know what to get from the schools store. I walk up to the door to see the hours and since it's Saturday, it closes at 10pm. "It's a good thing it's only 10:30 in the morning" I say to myself. When I walk in the sound of the bells scare me. I jump a little and I can see the girl at the front giggle as she hides behind a magazine. "Where are your textbooks?" I ask her. "We have signs for a reason ma'am " she says rudely. "Wow, ok" I respond just as rude. I look up to see the signs and textbooks are on isle six. That's all the way in the back. After I manage to find the isle, I start to look for my textbooks right away and when I'm finished I'd have to get notebooks and over necessities also.

By the time I check out its already 2 pm. I still have to find my dorm. That will be hell. As I'm walking out the store down the pathway, I dig in my bag to find my phone, when I finally find it I start looking up a map for the school so I'm able to find my way. I realize that I'm just walking back to the front so I go to turn around to walk back, and as I turn around I run into someone and all my things go to the floor including my phone. "Damnit!" I say under my breathe. "I am so sorry, I wasn't paying attention, I didn't mean to run into you" i explain very nervously, as I bend down to pick up my things. "It's okay, in all honesty I wasn't paying much attention either" the person says, as they bend down and start helping.

I look up in the process of cleaning up my mess nand it's a boy who I'd seen in the store. He's very attractive. And his eyes are to die for. "You need a map?" he asks, and I am brought back to reality. "Oh um yea, I didn't know where I could get one so I figure google with help" i say chewing my bottom lip. "They had maps first semester, but they ran out and is too lazy to make more" he says pointing at the office, "but I know my way around here pretty well, are you a junior?" he adds handing me my things. "No, I'm a freshman. I just moved here. " I say. "Ahhh fresh meat" he laughs. "Well what are you looking for? I could help you" he says looking very nervous. "Umm I'm looking for...." I say as I'm searching for my paper, "Dorm building G" "Well that's easy, building G is where I'm staying, do you know the rook number?" he asks. "Uh 421" I tell him. "Oh well that's funny, I'm room 415, down the same hall" he says with a smile. His smile is so adorable. "Come on. I'll show you" he says as he walks and I follow him.

"I'm Daniel by the way, I'm a junior" he says. "I'm Frenchescka, with an E instead of an A" I say as we walk past a lot whole bunch of people staring at us. "So it's f-r-e instead of f-r-a?" he asks. "Yes, I know it's weird but it'll have to do. I had no choice" I joke. He laughs and my stomach flutters. "Is it alright if I call you Frenchie?" he says nervously. "That's actually my nickname, so yes you may call me that, I prefer to be called that anyway" I say with a grin. "Sooo Frenchie, what are your classes?" he says to try and make conversation. I hand him my schedule. He starts laughing. "What's so funny?" I asked worried that he'll think my classes are lame. "Nothing, it's just that we have a few classes together. " he says while still laughing. "Really? Which ones?" I said surprised. "Uhh all except the last one" he says handing me back my paper. "I only have four classes, if we have three together then we have almost all classes together. Not just a few" I say laughing. "Hey! Math class doesn't start until 9:00" , "On Monday" he says with a smirk, but laughs right after.

"Well here's your room" he says. I realized that I didn't get a key to get in. "Um I didn't get a key" I say feeling like a complete idiot. "They don't give you a key at the desk. Your key is in your locker" he explains laughing. "Uhhhh..." I say with a dumb look in my face. "Let me see your paper" he chuckles. "See" he says pointing at the paper, "You have locker 56, right next to mine, and this here so your combination"
"And are the lockers in the office?" I ask. "No they're in your dorm building. Follow me" he says prancing down the hall. And of course I follow him.

As I put in the combination he stands there waiting for me. When I get it open I see a hoodie, and some sweats. "Um are you sure this is my locker? This stuff isn't mine" I tell him. "Yes, they give those to all the freshman's" he says. I nod and pull the hoodie out. When I pull the sweats on something falls, assuming it's my key. "I'll get that for you" he says and bends down get it. What a gentleman. "Thank you Daniel" I say with a grin. "My pleasure, but you can call me Danny" he tells me. "Okay, thank you Danny" I say with a smile.

I close my locker door and we walk back to my room. "I just wanted to say thank yo for helping me today. I really appreciate it" I say looking at him as we get to my room. "No problem, that's what friends are for. " he smiles. "Hey um, since tomorrow is Sunday, would you like to you know get some breakfast and then I could show you around the school" he asks. I can tell he's nervous because he keeps fidgeting with his fingers and looking down. "Yes I would love that" i say with a smile. "Oh, okay good, I'll text you when I wake up tomorrow and we'll go from there. Sounds okay?" he looks at me. "Yeah that sounds great, but you don't have my number" i laugh. "Oh right," he says pulling out his phone. I give him my phone and he gives me his. "Now I'll definitely text you" he says as we give each other's phone back.

"Alright so it sounds like a plan?" he says. "Yes definitely " I smile. "Great, see you tomorrow " he waves and walks down to his room.

I put the key in and walk inside. When I turn the light on I only see one bed. I'm guessing it's not like a regular college. I sit down and start rearranging my room. Putting my things in the closet and in the dresser. By the time I'm done it's already 7pm. What a day I think to myself. I am exhausted. I look around and see an extra door. I open it and it's a bathroom. "Wow, this is new" I say not expecting to have a bathroom in here.

I get my close and I grab a towel that have stored in the bathroom cabinets and I take a shower. When I get out I pull out my phone to look at the time and it's 8pm. I pick out clones for tomorrow, put my phone on the charger and I get in bed and go right to sleep.
