"New year, new start, new phrase, new  life." he said looking at me with a smile. He was sitting across from me on the couch with a black pen drawing tattoos all over my leg which was rested on his lap.

"Oh haha let me rephrase that ok.Ummm New place, new bullies, new teachers, new students, new-new everything and and ya know everything's gonna be so new and I  I don't know I'm gonna have to get to know everyone all over again and I had a hard time making friends at high school too now this...."

"But I thought you said omggg if I don't get into this campus I'm gonna loose my mind. " he said mimicking my voice. I rolled my eyes.

" I do wanna go I'm just so freaking nervous. And I do not sound like that...at all"

"Hey you don't have to be nervous your a grade A nerd, your gonna pass all those grades."

"Gee thanx." I said rolling my eyes. I shouldn't really be this nervous..no... but I am.

"Besides you made best friends with an devilishly handsome, naturaly charming, godly looking dude at high school. I don't think making friends will be a problem for you." he said smirking.

"Yeah? And who would that be."

"Me." he said.

"Let me rephrase that too.." I cleared my throat dramatically. "I Adaline became best friends with You Alexander.. Who's very gay by the way..only because our families were friends and we've basically known each other all our lives."

"Seriously though, Adi just try okay? Be a bit social for once in your life trust me it'll be good."

"No, last time I tried to be social I had my heart broken by an asshole."

"You didn't try to be social you just ended up being his partner and from what you've told me  he talked to you first." I scoffed making him smirk.

Then he set my foot down and stood up walking away to the kitchen, I followed.

"Maybe I'll just go, do my work and graduate. It'll be like I never even existed." I said following him.

"Yeahh okay." he just laughed.

"What?" I asked as he went near the fridge opening it me still on his tail.

"Adaline sweety I've known you as you said all my life and from what I've learned after all of those years is that you can't stand five minutes without talking to someone and luckily you always had me to annoy." He bent down taking a box of cereals and some milk.

"I'm gonna have to learn to not talk that much then." I too grabbed two bowls off the plate rack and handed them to him, setting them on the counter he filled them with milk and cereal as I hopped onto the counter as well. I was at his house but it feels more home to me than my own house.

"No your gonna have to find someone to talk to."
He handed me a bowl of cereals taking it I said.
"Alright fine ahhh I'll socialise.... Happy now?

"Very. So have you finished packing." he leaned on the counter next to me and although I was storing on the counter he still reached my head.

I sighed "Yeahh. I'm gonna miss seeing your gay ass everyday." I stuffed some cereal in my mouth.

"Hey you said you'll come by every weekend. Didn't you? You promised?"

"Yeah yeah I will and yeah I did promise. And I will keep that promise cause I can't stand a day not hearing your annoying and blah voice" he smiled we always make fun of each other its our thing.

"Are your parents coming over? Will they drop you off?" he asked looking for my eyes as I looked down at my cereal at the word parents.

"They probably don't even remember that I'm going away and that college is starting tomorrow. They are going away on a business trip again tonight."

Keeping his cereal away. He put a thumb under my chin and made me look at him.
"Screw them. Be ready at time tomorrow morning and I'll drop you off. You probably need your bellowed best friend to give you an ounce of courage." I kept my cereal away too.

"Thank you so much Alec your the best." I kissed his cheek and hugged him tight smiling to his chest. "Anything for my Adi"

I took a deep look back at Alec he gave me a wide smile and a thumbs up. I nodded and went in my fingers folded around the papers, I got in and stiffened. It was huge. I felt a quick chill run down my spine as I felt the strange air in my lungs. I classified the papers at the front. My luggage is probably up in my room cause I sent them here two days ago. I started looking for the girls dorms. The place was so amazing I can't believe I made it here. There were alot of people most of em looking around my age looking around, some were talking and some had already made bunches like they've already known each other a long time, which they might have cause dammit not everyone has only one friend for fucks sake.
              I roamed around a little I don't know if I'm gonna fit in here, or if I was gonna get bullied or teased, or if I'm gonna find someone, or if I was gonna like the classes but one thing I am pretty sure is that I'm so lost. I turned and turned but this damn place is just so big.
             I'm supposed to get to the second building up to the fifth floor and straight to the women dorms where my room would be no. 116.
But hell I can't even find the second building. I was checking everything out the large trees and everything took my breath away. This is basically all I ever wanted. I walked down the pathway a bit more when I rounded the corner onto another path I walked a bit but by now I was all alone I could hear the distant scatter of other students... But I kept walking cause there was this strange aura to the place like it's not really a cool aura it was rather frightening to be honest my whole body felt stiffened and strange I wanted to run but the strange feeling kept me going forward. I went a bit and found a the path leading to opening and it just stopped with a bench and tall tree that was it. The whole place was like I had gone back to the 80s. I just went forward my bag at my side and the papers clunched to my palms.
                   I just stood their gazing around when I heard a wired rustle of leaves. I turned around and saw a pair of bright blue eyes looking straight at me in a really unsettling way. I saw the path which led me here and I made a run for it. I stumbled on my own feet falling forward and I heard someone say.
"Come talk with me. I'm so lonely."
In a hushed voice.
I got up and ran as far as I could still looking back every now and then and I bumped into someone stumbling a bit backward, two arms caught my shoulders. I hesitantly looked front to be relieved when I saw a boy smiling at me.
"Easy there love. Where are you going in such a rush."
He spoke with a thick British accent. Chestnut curls falling onto his For head, green eyes staring into mine, with a dimpled smile. If I wasn't scared to dead right now I'd probably find the stranger really attractive but after what happened my mind was so messed up.
"Hey hey are you alright."
I straightened up a bit I didn't want to look like a complete syco on my first day.
"I uh yeah I um got lost and I heard something."
"Oh really I'm pretty lost too so let's find our way around together then. Yeah? Where are you trynna get to?"
"Okayy I am trynna get to the second building. The girls dorms."
"Oh wow same place well to the boys dorms obviously."
"Yeahhhhhhh haha" my social anxiety is so not helping ahhhhhh and nor is Alec's lecture he gave me all the way here.
"Let's get going shall we." he asked and I nodded and he started walking towards where I just came from. I quickly grabbed his hand I feel like a freaking syco.
He looked at my hands holding his and cocked an eyebrow. I cleared my throat. And let go of his hand.
" I already went their it's not the place."
"Oh okay." he said and started walking alongside me I mentally facepalmed my self repeated. I'm pretty sure he thinks I have mental problems by now. I took a quick glance back at the solitary pathway I could see the solemn bench and the tree that keeps it company while a quick chill ran  down my spine.

////////////////////////////

A long lost love, she cried upon.
Who took her life is yet to know.
Loneliness in her soul she bestowed.
To find her lover her heart made notes,
When she heard the voice, the voice of his,
She crept through the bushes to help her see,
There in the pathway stood beneath.
Was her angel she believed.
Only his figure she remembered,
But that sight her heart recollected,
The lonely night she lay in his arms,
Where hearts didn't break and love could be found,
To get him back, her dark heart knew that,
She'd
Run or
Swim or
Fly or
Kill.
