The Shy Mate

Chapter 1

** This is Alison**

Alison Green was the kind of girl that kept to herself, she didn't have many friends because of how shy she was. She was a good student, got straight A's all throughout high school and was offered many scholarships to many great universities. She had gotten accepted to Brown, Columbia and McGill University to name a few. Deciding what school she would attend was hard because she liked them all, so she turned to her 2 only friends for advice. Frank, who she has known since she was 8 years old, and Jessi who she met in her sophomore year, Jessi was actually the one that approached Ali and in a way forced her to be her friend. Ali and Frank had been eating lunch one day when Jessi came up to them and introduced herself, she had bluntly informed them that from now on they would be the best of friends whether they liked it or not and the two kind of just accepted it. When Ali came to the two to ask them their opinion on which University she should go to they both agreed on her going to McGill University and so that's where she decided she was going to go the following year. That decision has forever changed Ali's life and that is where our story begins.

            Ali stood in her nearly empty room looking around, not believing that tonight was the night she was leaving for Montreal and moving into her apartment. She felt like her senior year had gone so quickly and now she had to leave her family behind and start her life over in a whole new place, she felt lucky, though, that her two best friends were joining her in this new chapter in her life and that she wasn't going to be all alone.

            "Alison! Are you ready? You have to get going!" called her mother from downstairs. That was it, she was leaving home and was not coming back till December. "Alison?!"  called her mother again.

            "Yes mom! I'm coming down!" she yelled back. She grabbed her bag from her now naked bed, walked to the door, turned off the lights and slowly, and might I add, in a very cliché way, closed the door. Walking down the stairs as quickly as she could so her mother wouldn't have to call her yet again.  "Hey mom, I'm ready. Is the car loaded?"

"Yes sweetheart. Urg I wish I could go with you to help you settle in."

            "Mom we talked about this, I'm going to be fine and you need to stay here for work. Don't forget I have Frank and Jessi with me! It'll be great! And I'll see you for Christmas." She gave her mother a long hug, gave her a kiss on the cheek before walking out the door.

            "Your father would have been so proud of you sweetheart" her mother said to her before she had the chance to close the door. Ali smiled to herself, she wished she had had the chance to meet her father and  to actually make him proud.

            "You ready to go bitch?" yelled Jessi from the driver's seat.

            "Do you have to use such language Jess?" asked an exasperated Frank, who gallantly sat in the bag to let Ali sit in the front, knowing she got sick when she sat in the back of the car.

            "Yes, as a matter of fact, I do, it is who I am and I'm not going to change."

            "So you're saying that saying bad words define you?"

            "Yes my dear Franklin, it does." Ali chuckled to herself, Jessi and Frank always bickered, that's how their friendship worked. "Alright now get your ass in the car so we can move!"

            "Alright, alright, I'm getting in, relax woman!" and so as soon as she settled into the car, Jessi gassed it and the three amigos where heading away from New Jersey and heading towards Montreal.
