Y/N pov

Who would've thought I would graduate high school. I finished another chapter in my life and I'm off to the next one. You never know who will go with you in the next chapter. Some people will stay and some people will leave and then you meet new people to replace the people who left and it keeps going in circles. I used to believe that family will always be there for you in the next chapter. But I was wrong. My mom proved me wrong.

My mom left before my high school chapter started. It has been my dad and I for four years and all of the things I do and succeed are for him and him only. The one who stayed. The one that goes with me in every chapter

This chapter is different though. I'm on my own.

College. New people. New atmosphere. New experience

I'm expecting that it's gonna be a bittersweet experience

I gotta say, this chapter of my life started pretty well. I mean universities running after you and scholarships. I like writing. It's the one thing that keeps me going. I like to think that my life is a book. Filled with chapters and stories you look back and learn from it.

"Bubs?" I heard my dad knocking on the other side of my bedroom door. "Come in pops" I said closing diary filled with my journals and poetry

"I told your mom that you graduated and she wanted me to give you this" he said handing me a bag. I sighed and grabbed the bag from him and placed it on top of my bed

"Thanks papa, but you shouldn't have told her. She's not part of my life anymore" I said sitting down on my bed

"I know but she had more money than I do. I wanted to reward you for working so hard and believe me when I say this Y/N, I am very proud of you" he said with teary eyes and hugged me tight

"You don't have to reward me papa. You being there and here right now is enough" I smiled at him

"I love you"

"I love you too papa"

"Do you have everything?" My dad asked as he put my last bag inside my car's trunk

"Yes papa" I said with a chuckle while hugging him

"Are you sure you're gonna be fine alone pops?" I asked with a concern look

"I'll be fine bubs. Just have fun, not too much fun though" he snorted

"Are yo-" I was interrupted with a loud honk indicating my best friend was being impatient

"Hurry up Y/N!" He shouted

"Calm your dick Shawn" I said and my dad lightly hit my arm

"Language!" He said. "Sorry" I said while laughing

"I gotta go. I love you dad" I said hugging him. "I love you too bubs. I love you so much" he said while sniffling

I immediately got out of his grasp and ran to the passenger side to stop myself from crying but I still did. I just didn't want my dad to see me cry because he'll be worried

"You ok?" Shawn asked as he drives through the familiar neighborhood

"I'm fine" I forced a smile

"Hello welcome to NYU" the blonde lady said while smiling

"Hi" Shawn and I said in unison

"Shawn Mendes and Y/N Y/L right?" She said and we both nodded. She gave us our dorm keys and lead the way with us carrying our bags

She dropped me off first to my dorm. I heard guitar strum inside the room and I prayed I'm not gonna get one of those bitchy roommates. I fiddled with the keys and unlock the door

Brown eyes meet mine as we both made eye contact for a long second. I broke the eye contact and went to get my stuff. The brunette catched on and put her guitar on the bed as she approached me and helped me with my bags

"Hi, I'm Camila" she said giving me a genuine smile

"Y/N" I said nervously

"You ok?" She asked as she set my bags down right next to my bed

"Yea, just nervous" I said and she snorted. "Nervous of me? That's new" she said mostly mumbling it to herself but I still managed to hear her

"So Y/N" I hummed for her to continue. "There's a freshie party tonight. You should come, I'm performing there with my band" she said

"Freshie party?" I asked confused on what the hell that is

"Yea it's a party welcoming freshmen this year" she picked up her guitar and started strumming different chords

I took this time to examine Camila. Black lipstick, brown hair, band shirts, band posters, black skinny ripped jeans, and a small black butterfly tattoo on her right ring finger

She was dark yet bright

"Y/N!" I heard her say breaking my thoughts

"Wh-what?" I stuttered

"I said I was gonna buy Chinese takeout do you want me to buy you some" she asked while tying her black converse

"Uh yea" I said pulling out money from my pocket and try to hand it to her

"No it's fine. Take it as my welcome to you" she smiled and told me she'll be back in fifteen minutes with a bright smile on her face and left

I took off my clothes and wore comfortable ones and laid down on bed. I can't help but notice that I'm so interested in Camila. Interested in her stories

I'm still trying to figure out how someone who looks so dark and emo outside would be so bright and happy inside. I know it's not my place to even think about this things because I barely knew the girl

She's just so...fascinating.
