The Chase

My alarm clock bounces through my mind shaking me awake and I slam it off. I rub my eyes and get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom and shut the door. My mother must have heard me because I can hear her calling for me downstairs. I ignore her call and switch the shower on and slowly step in. Today was the first day of college. I was exited and super nervous at the same time. My boyfriend, Niall, has already been at this college for a year now. Being with him is going to be amazing. The thought of going to classes with him and studying together makes me calm down a bit. I turn off the shower and step out. The cold air hits me and I quickly cover myself with my towel and run into my bedroom. I have no idea what to wear. After going through at least 4 outfits I finally find a cute skirt and a floral shirt.

"Paige!"

"What mom?"

"Come on we're going to be late! You don't want to give a bad impression

!"

"Okay just let me brush my teeth!" I shout back and quickly brush my hair and teeth before grabbing most of my belongings and practically trip down the stairs.

After for what seems like 5 hours of driving, we finally pulled into the dorm parking lot. I stepped out into the cool air and was fretted by a tall woman. She looked like she was about 30. She held out her hand for me to shake.

"Hi, I'm Amanda, are

You Paige Willis?" She studies my features.

"Yea, um, I'm Paige" I say

"Great! Welcome! You'll love it here"

"Thanks, I look forward to it" I say and she gives me a warm smile

"Well, I'll be showing you to your dorm, this way please" I grab all my bags and other little toiletries. I follow her down hallways and up stairs until finally she stops and dorm 304.

"Well, here she is, old 304" she hands me the key and I unlock the door. I push it open and find a bunch of cloths,Posters, and other little things like deodorant and a toothbrush on the floor. I glance around and have a huge feeling to clean everything up. My mom looks like she's going to have a heart attack.

She clears her throat before speaking

"Honey, I'm gunna get going, I love you so much okay, good luck. You better call me everyday" I laugh before opening my mouth to speak.

"Okay, I love you to" I say. She kisses my cheek and walks out the door waving. I wave back and I fall flat on the bed and inhale the air. I should probably call Niall: I pull my phone from my pocket and dial his number.

"Hey babe" his accent floats through the phone making me giggle

"What's so funny huh?" I can feel his smile.

"You" I say and all I want is to kiss him.

"Did you make it there okay"

"Ya I made it here fine.. Will you come over? I miss you a lot" I sa- well, think. I was thinking it. Then when I realized I said it out loud I covers my mouth and started to laugh

"Aw your so cute babe! And of course I'll be right there" I smile

"Okay, bye"

"Bye" I hang up and realize this mess is still here. What am I going to do? I can't just leave it here.

"Okay I'll see you later" I hear voices out side the door. I hear clicking of it being unlocked. A short, skinny girl with hair just below her shoulders. She looks at me with wide eyes. She looks from the mess, to me. Back and forth.
