Perfect

Chapter 1

Prologue

    "You will be fine. We promise." Those were the words my mom said to me before her and my dad kissed me on the forehead and left, on their way back to the car in the parking lot, for their 2 hour drive back to Pennsylvania. 

    I sighed and looked around my room. Both beds were unocuppied. One was up against the beige wall. The other was right infront of one of the windows that was in the room. I tossed my bag on the bed near the window and pushed the few boxes that I had over to the bed with my foot.

    I ripped the tape off of the box my mom had labeled 'sheets/bed things' and pulled out a lavander bed spread. 

    I finished slipping it on just as I heard the door open. I couldn't see who it was because there was a small hallway that you had to go through before entering the room and I was also all the way on the other side of the room.

    "Yes. Yes. I will see you soon." A girls voices drifted into the room. "Yes mom I love you too. Okay. Okay." I heard the door start to squeak and the I heard the click of it shutting and a sigh, just before a girl appeared at the end of the small hall. 

    When she looked up she jumped a bit and put a hand on her chest. "Oh my gosh. You scared me."

    "Oh I'm sorry." I gave her a shy smile. "Oh I'm Brooklyn Gray." I stuck my hand out in her direction. "But people just call me Brooke." 

    "I'm Ashley Green. And I just really go by Ashley." She shook my hand and smiled at me. "Hey after unpacking you want to walk around and get to know the campus?"

    With a nod I started to open another cardboard box that held my pillows.

    About an hour later we were walking out of the dorm rooms and out onto the school campus. 

    "Good thing there was 2 closets." Ashley said.

    "Good thing my clothes fit into half of one." I said with a laugh.

    She scrunched her nose up and gave me a small smile. "Yeah sorry about that. But on the bright side we can share clothes." 

    I smiled over at her. I was glad that I had met Ashley and that she was my room mate. Just in the small time frame we got to know a lot about each other. I knew that she had 2 older brothers. One who was going to be a dad in just a few months and one who was just finishing college. I knew that she grew up in New Jersey but was born in Canada. I also knew she didn't leave on good terms with her best friend.

    She knew that I had an older sister who I haven't talked to in a year and that I have a younger brother who most people in high school thought was my older brother since he was about 6 feet tall and I was 5ft 5in and I was more to myself when he was the popular one. He had defended me if things went wrong. She knows that was close with my brother and was close with my sister before she left. She knows I didn't really have any close friends in high school. And she knows that I still haven't had my first kiss. 

    "Hey you want to go and check out the rec center?" Ashley asked pointing over in the direction of a large building. It was about half the size of the the dooms we just came from. 

    "Yeah sure." We headed in the direction of the building. Ashley pulled open the door and walked in holding it open for me. When we firsted walked in, right in front of us was a stair case leading to the second floor. You could see a door on both sides of the stair case before a wall blocked off the rest of the hall and whatever was down the hall. To the right there was an arch way opening up into what looks like a sitting room. There were two girls sitting on the couch looking up at what I guess was a tv and a guy sitting in one of the chairs looking over at the tv too. There were a few people walking from the back of the room where it looked like there was two air hockey tables and what looked like a foosball table.
