I throw the last few things I needed into my backpack and started to bring it all down stairs when I hear a wimper and a sniff. I turn to see the sounds coming from my sister Jenny's room. I set my stuff down and walk over to the door.
"Jenny?" I say, no answer. I knock on the door gently.
"Jenny are you ok?" I ask, the door flies open and little Jenny leaps into my arms.
"Awe Jenny I'm not leaving forever" I assure her as I hug her tight.
"I'm just gonna miss you" she sniffs. I set her down as she wipes away her tears.
"I will visit often, I promise my little princess" I say ruffling her short messy hair. She follows me down the stairs helping me carry my bags. I hug my mom and dad good bye and put my bags in the back of my white jeep. I get in and take in all the beauty around me as I drive. The park, the forest behind the school. The trees looked like a wall of pure adventure as I drove by. I let out my breath I didn't know I was holding, tears start to find there way down my cheeks and dripping off my chin. I wasn't sad, I wasn't going to miss my family. I was happy I was taking a huge step out of my life and into a new one.
I finally get to the university. I park my car and start unpacking my stuff when I hear my name.
"Kyle?!" I thought I recognized the male voice but wasn't sure. I turn and to my surprise I saw him.
"Alex!" I yell as I drop my backpack and run up to my old friend. It was weird and sort of unlike him but we hug after about three years of not seeing each other. I finally release him.
"How have you been?" I ask in excitement.
"Great! How about you man?" He asks.
"Fantastic!" I say, he hugs me again. Wrapping his arms around my neck like a girl. I try to not find it weird and laugh it off.
"What room do you got?" He asks.
"I don't know yet" I laugh.
"Come on I will show you around" he says waving me toward him as he walked away. I scramble to get my backpack and two suitcases and follow him inside and to the front office.
"Name please" a lady asks.
"K-Kyle Jackson" I stutter in shock trying to keep my cool.
"Alright here you go, your schedule" she says handing a large packet of paper.
"And your room is 316" she says handing me a key with a little blue tag with 316 on it. I nod at her and start to walk aimlessly.
"This way dude" Alex says walking into a hall with '300' over it. I drag my bags not far before I reach 316.
"I'm 324 just down the hall if you need me" Alex says.
"Thanks man" I say high fiving him and letting him go. I unlock the door and open it suddenly hearing a girl scream.
"How did you get in here?!" She yells, as I see a young girl shirtless I close my eyes.
"This is my room!" I'm able to choke.
"Oh! Haha you must be Kyle, I got a shirt you can open your eyes now" she says, I slowly open them and see she wasn't lying.
"How do you know my name?" I ask.
"Mrs. Smith warned me that I was sharing a room with a guy" she explains.
"Yeah" I say trying so hard but failing to take my eyes off that gorgoues smile.
"I'm Avery Martin" she says sticking out her hand, I shake it still slightly disctracted by her beauty.
"Nice to meet you Avery" I say fully snapping out of it.
"Same, your cuter than your name suggests" she winks, I feel blush creep onto my cheeks when she releases my hand. I step back and awkwardly rubbing the back of my neck.
"This one is mine so go ahead and unpack on that side" she says walking over and plopping on her bed. I walk over and fling my stuff on my bed. I notice her checking me out as I unpack.
"You think I'm hot?" I ask trying to fake a flirt. I see the shock on her face, then the blush spreads like wildfire. I start to laugh breaking the moment.
"Trust me, I'm not a complete dork, not a hot dude" I say unpacking some of my clothes.
"Don't try and lie to me, I think your hot" she says with a darker shade of red covering her face.
"Thanks" I mumble finishing up my suitcase.
"Maybe we should get to know each other" she says twisting a strand of hair on her finger.
"Like on a date?!" I ask in excitement.
"Sure" she flirts.
"Why not"
