You Only Live Once...

Chapter 1

Chaeyoung's  POV

     I got up way earlier than I needed to as I was excited. I walkd towards the bathroom, washed my face, brushed my teeth and saw the time. It was just 5 am!! No wonder it was still dark outside. So I decided to take my time to get ready. I took a shower for more than half an hour. I got out and wore some casual clothes for the first day of my college life.

     I still had 3 hours before i left so i decided to double and triple check my luggage. I had packed my guitar, my headphones,  my camera, my polaroid camera, all my photo albums with all the memories I had made over the years, some blank albums for all the new memories I would make, my soft toys and.... there was something i was forgetting. I thought for two minutes when it struck me, I was gonna forget my strawberries. I was about to run down when I decided that I will take it at the last moment, so i took a pen and wrote on my hand,'DON'T FORGET THE STRAWBERRIES!'.

     I went down to the kitchen and started cooking for myself since my parents weren't awake. I decided to cook myself some pancakes. I quickly made one big pancake and topped it with whipped whipped cream, strawberries and strawberry syrup while it was still in the pan. I picked up the pan, put it on the kitchen island and started eating off of it.

     Once i finished eating, i cleaned up the mess I made and washed the pan and fork. As I walked out, I saw my parents hugging each other while looking at me.

" Our little kid has grown up" my father said with tears in his eyes

"Guys, i'm not going to another country forever. I am just gonna be an hour away by train and I'll come back on the weekends.." I said while giggling.

"No, but still..." My father said while crying like a little girl. 

My mom just looked at him and shook her head while laughing. My parents were really chill and super duper weird.

     After hugging my parents, I went up to my room and sat down on my bed. All the memories I had made here, the happy ones, the sad ones came back to me. I was gonna miss this room. It had been an hour since I was sitting here, so I decided to move my bags down. Finally, fifteen minutes later I had all my bags down. I sat down with my parent and spoke to them until my cab came. My parents helped me put my bags into the cab after which I hugged them one last time, waved at them and left.

     I was going crazy with excitement. After hours of sitting in a cab I finally reached the dorm. I took out all of my luggage from the cab, paid the man and stood outside the dorm for a minute to soak it in. I took my polaroid camera out of my  backpack and took a picture of the dorm.

     After putting the camera back in my backpack i walked towards the the door with my bags. I took a deep breath and said," To the new part of my life..." and knocked on the door.

     Less than 5 seconds later the door was opened for me to see eight girls looking at me......
