Arms wide open

Intro.

(Alaya's P.o.v)

It was a calm rainy Saturday morning, it was about 12:30 and I was just waking up. Today was the day I moved out of my house and into my dorm at Florida state university. I was very nervous and had all these thoughts running through my head. But I was so ready to start a new life there with new people. I rubbed my eyes, sat up and looked over my right shoulder to see if my phone was still laying next to me but of course it wasn't it had fallen behind my bed in the middle of the night. I reach for the charger cord to pull it up from behind my bed so I can check it. I click the home button and put my passcode in, I check my Instagram, snapchat and musically to see if anything new and exciting was happening. But there wasn't
so I go to my texts and see I have 4 texts all from my best friend/ brother raegan beast.
( raegan's texts )
" Alaya oh my god wake up"
" there's someone I want you to talk to"
" DUDE WAKE UP "
" oh my god you sleep like a fucking rock wake up"
I text him back thinking what kind of problems he's gonna cause for me now
" I'm awake, and please for the love of god stop playing Match maker you know how I feel about this"
I recently got out of a 2 year relationship with a guy I thought was the one but he was really going to party's and sleeping with other girls. It hasn't even been a 2 months since the break up and I have mr. match maker over here trying to hook me up with someone new.
I wait A few minutes for raegan to reply I get out of bed and walk over to my bathroom to brush my teeth and give myself a good look in the mirror before I start packing all my belongings.
( rae replies)
" look I know you're still upset and hurt from what Andrew did to you but I swear to you I honestly think you'll like this guy way better"
I trust raegan and his match making skills but I still needed time to heal,
I reply back to raegan
" whatever you say I need to start packing so just send me a picture of the boy and I'll tell you what I think"
I hit send and set my phone down on my desk, walked over to my closet and started to go through all the clothes I wanted to bring and all the clothes I wanna donate.

An hour goes by and I'm still going through my closet, and rae still hasn't replied so I completely forget about what he said.
I finally come to the point where I completely give up on the clothes. I get up to go downstairs  to get a trash bag for the giveaway clothes, when I open my door I hear my phone go off. I kinda got excited but I didn't let that feeling distract me. I walk downstairs to the kitchen and grab a big black trash bag.
When I get back up to my room I wrap my short ass arms around the pile of clothes and throw them into the bag. I drop a few things which pissed me off but hey when you have short arms shit tends to fall out of them. I pick up the clothes I dropped , throw them into the bag and tie the bag up. I push the bag to my door so I don't forget to take it to the Salvation Army on the way to school, I remember rae texted me back so I go over to my desk and pick up my phone. I open up to our text messages and see a picture of a poofy haired boy with braces and blue eyes.
I freeze.
