I sigh with relief as mom crushes the last box containing my dorm room furniture. After the seven hour long car trip mom insisted on setting up my room before she left. Jason, my little brother, picks up the collapsed boxes for mom and carries them over to the trash cans, I smile gratefully at him.

Mom pulls me into a bone crushing hug before her and dad jump into the car. Jason wraps his arms around my midsection and I know I'll miss him the most. He is surprisingly tall for a fifteen year old and I regret to think I'll miss him growing up even more. He too, jumps in the car, leaving me alone for the first time since my arrival in Questwood. Questwood college was the first reputable college to accept me and with my lack of "personality and unique achievement" on my application, i wasn't accepted to the ivy league school of my dreams. Considering all the top schools i applied to with confidence had rejected me, I jumped at the opportunity at Quest wood, which has a fairly good reputation. I walk back into my hall and smile at the girl behind the desk and step into the elevator. I'm halfway up the building when a girl steps into the elevator not looking at me. Her long dark hair fans over her face obscuring her face from my view. I awkwardly smile at her but she's not looking at me, she's hurriedly typing on her phone. The elevator comes to a halt on my floor and I step out, glancing back at the girl with the dark hair, I get a glimpse of her oversized lips. She sees me staring as the elevator door begins to close and she shoots me a tight lipped smile. I feel awkward as I think about what she must have thought when she smiled at me and I just stared at her, I should have smiled back or something. I'm kicking myself as walk back to my room, I look up when I reach my doorway and scream. There's a man in my room. He confidently strolls up to me and covers my mouth with his hand. His hood drops to reveal his curly black hair and my heart drops.
