   Hey guys this is my first book so please tell me how it is! There will most likely be some mistakes but if you could just ignore them that would be great:)     

Something I was uncertain of was settling in the pit of my stomach as I looked up at the huge building in front of me. Wheather it was fear or excitement, I wasn't quite sure. But I bet that's how every incoming freshman is feeling right now, or so I hoped. High school is my past and now it's time for me to move on and CSU was perfect. In order to move on I needed to get out of Kansas and Bolder, Colorado fit those needs just right. Besides I couldn't bare the thought to lose my best friend, Becca, who is also attending CSU.

I looked up to my dad who was already standing at the top of the steps, waiting for me. "Sorry", I panted after running up the flight of stairs, "I zoned out". 

"What room is it?", he asked, clearly annoyed.

"C15, on the third floor. Becca should already be in there"

After we got to the third floor it took us a short time to find the door with a big 15 on it. I packed light with just two suitcase. I didn't see the need to bring everything I owned. Once I opened the door I saw that Becca clearly didn't pack light since the whole room was filled with her things. I looked on the desk and saw a note.

Hey Lucy! Like the room?  Some kid down the hall is having a little get together to meet the neighbors... join when you can, room 18! Love Becca

Typical her, already at a party. The only reason she wanted to go to CSU is because its one of the nation's biggest party school.

"Lucy, I got all your stuff over in that corner. Think you're gonna be ok kiddo? Want me to stay a while?"

I mean I know my dad is trying to act like he's ok with me being in another state, but I know him. I can bet you that after he shuts the door on his way out he will ball his eyes out.

"Dad we went over this. Colorado is literally right next door to Kansas. I'm going to be just fine; I'll visit on the holidays. I bet you wont even know I'm gone", I reassure him.

"Lucy you're my only kid, of course I'm going to know you're gone". I hear his voice crack at the end and his eyes start to brim with tears. I instantly pull him into a hug which was a bad idea since now he didn't want to release me from his death grip.

"Dad, I hate to ruin this father- daughter time but Becca needs me down the hall", I say hoping he will let go so I can breath again.

"I'm guessing that's my que that you want me to leave, right?"

"Well.... Maybe", I say trying to sound as innocent as possible.

After he leaves I begin to unpack my stuff until someone knocks on the door. I figure it's my dad again and avoided it hoping he'll think that I left.

"No one answered, she must not be in here", a voice sounding a lot like Becca whispered.

"Perfect", I heard a foreign voice vaguely say.

Before I could say that I am here, the door burst open. In came Becca with a guy latched to her mouth. They stumbled into the room and onto the bed.

Hello do you not see me standing here?!!!

I attempted to do that clear your throat thing but it came out more as a coughing attack. It did get there attention though. Both there heads snapped in my direction and I finally got a view of this guy's face. He was in black jeans and a white tee shirt with green eyes and a mop of curls on his head. Attractive: yes.. Beccas type: no.

"Oh my gosh Lucy! I didn't know you were in here. I knocked but.."

I cut her off, "Oh no it's my fault", I laughed, "I thought you were my dad coming back to lock me in another bear hug".

"So how do you like the campus so far?", she asked completely ignoring the guy she was about to do only God knows what with.

"Um well I haven't really looked around yet"

The boy on the bed cleared his throat, and flawlessly might I add.

"If you guys are going to have a full on best friend reunion thing right now then I should leave", he said in a slight British accent.

"Oh sorry", Becca beamed, "Harry this is Lucinda Reiter my best friend since like what", she looked over to me. "since 7th grade", I finished for her.

"But call me Lucy", I added in.

"Don't worry, I wont be calling you anything", he said seeming uninterested in this whole conversation.

Ouch.

"Anyhow I would show you around, but I have a million thing to do before Monday", Becca said.

"It's fine really"

"No you need to see this campus. It is breathtaking. Maybe Harry could show you around"

Harry popped his head up and the mention of his name.

"Um I thought me and you were gonna finish what we started", He said with no stutter.

"Oh silly you", Becca said in a voice I have never heard her use. She went and got on the bed with him.

"Alright well that's my que to leave", I said opening the door.

"Bye Linda", Harry said in a taunting voice.

What a douche!
