Lost In Love And Lattes

Chapter 2

The last few weeks went by in a blur. It was odd to think that my time in high school was over. It had seemed to take forever (especially during physics class) but now that it was over, it still felt as though I'd only joined yesterday...

Unfortunately, school ending meant that I really had to decide on a college. The only way I could decide on one way to make pro/con lists, which of course Sam made fun of me endlessly for.

NYC:
PRO
-near Sam's college
-very good school
-nice campus
-it's in New York!?

CON
-really far from home :(
-I don't know anyone else going there
-can't visit Mom much

California 1:
PRO
-really near home
-I know lots of people going there
-decent location

CON
-not a great college
-campus isn't very nice
-no where near Sammy
-Dallas is going there

Dallas was the Queen Bee of our high school, which I know shouldn't affect my choice of college as it was unlikely I'd see her around, but at this point it was so hard to choose that my choice would have to be based on the little things. Dallas going to this college was one of those little things.

California 2:
PRO
-fairly near to Mom
-pretty good college
-average campus
-I know a couple of people going there

CON
-not near Sam
-not too near Mom
-not that good a school

After hours of deliberating, I finally decided on going to the college in NYC. Mia, aka the kindest girl in our grade at high school, had promised to check up on my mom and update me regularly, as she was staying at home for a year to do some voluntary work before going to college.

I rang Sam to tell them, and they squealed down the phone.

"Now we can still see each other all the time! I was so worried that I'd be all alone in New York but with you there its gonna be even better than before! Ahhhh!"

We laughed and chatted for a while, discussing our futures in NYC, and decided to look online for a apartment. It was quite late to be looking, so most were either WAYYY too expensive or so far away from our colleges that we'd have to commute for ages every day, and neither of us could be bothered to do that.

In the end, Sam pointed out that we might just have to split up.

"Ave, there are a few places looking for a roommate. They're cheaper and closer to college... I hate to say it but maybe we should live separately? We'll still see each other all the time though."

I sighed but agreed. I found one after a while.

'Roommate wanted. Preferably female. 2 bed 1 bath apartment, 4th floor. If interested contact Clara-Mae at cmaelovescake@gmail.com.'

It looked perfect. I emailed Clara-Mae and she replied and seemed really nice. We could definitely be friends.

This was going to be so much fun. I'd be sad to be leaving all my friends, but at the same time... I was going to college! In New York! I couldn't wait.

A/n Hi guys sorry this took so long and is kinda (aka very) short. Life has been pretty hectic recently but I should be back on track and updating more regularly now. I'm thinking I'll update every Wednesday and Thursday, but knowing me it'll probably be mostly at the weekends. Please bare with me...
