Uncover

Chapter 1

    Here I am, sitting on the plane next to my mother and stepfather. We've been sitting for about 4 hours and I am about to pee myself. Trying to get the thought of using the bathroom out of my head I look at my planner and make sure everything is just the way I need it to be. I normally don't stress having a plan but I want everything to be nice and easy my first month or so at college.

Moving from Nebraska to New York City is a huge step for me. It is also a great chance to get a fresh start and get away from my past. In New York I am going to be studying to become a doctor. That is what I've wanted to be my whole life.

Once the plane finally lands and we make our way out of the airport we start to drive to the university. My heart sinks into my stomach as I see how huge it actually is in person.

We find a parking spot in front of my dorm hall and start to gather my things. I travel down the hall to find room 52. They said that they offer co-ed dorm rooms but I would not be comfortable living with a man.

As i approach the door I turn it to see that it is already unlocked. As the door swings open I see a blonde girl about my height unpacking things and making her bed. I look over to see that there is another twin size bed with nothing on it. I make the assumption it's mine.

" hey I'm Becca, it's nice to meet you" she says while turning and looking at my parents and i.

" hi I'm Kaylee, it's nice to meet you too " I say while making my way other to my bed.

    About an hour or two later my parents had left with tears brewing from there eyes. This is going to be weird. Not being able to see them everyday, but I just have to remember that this is for the best.

Since my parents have left I've managed to find out a little more about Becca. She's a junior here and is studying to become an accountant. I have no idea how she could handle that. She tells me that she tends to have friends over but if I get uncomfortable she'll meet them somewhere else which I thank her greatly for.

" I'm just about to go meet up with some of my friends would you like to come?" Becca says after staring at me for a little. I feel bad saying no but i don't think I'll be very comfortable with it.

" Come on, I'll drive so when you want to leave we'll go " she says to me. She must have noticed the weary look on my face, I hope I didn't offend her.

" okay " I said giving into her puppy dog eyes she was giving me.

" Should I change or is this okay? " I say as I see her eyes scan my body. I'm not wearing anything special just my normal comfortable outfit. I have on a pair of dark slightly ripped jeans with a plain gray t-shirt.

" no you look good " she replied while grabbing her keys off the desk in between our beds.

" Actually it might just be better to walk, traffic around here is a bitch" she says. I flinch because of her vulgar language that falls out of her mouth.

" okay, how far is the walk " I ask her trying to hide the relief behind my voice. Don't get me wrong I'm sure she's a great driver but I would prefer not to get into an accident the first day of my new life.

" About 5 blocks " she says as we exit our dorm hall.

As we walk down the street i take in all that is around me. The city is so beautiful. Everyone walks around here without a care in the world. It is funny to see some of the outfits that people have on.

Becca and I make some awkward small talk as we approach the what seems to be a bar.

" Oh um, I'm only 18 I can't drink " I say as she grabs the handle to the door
