"Be good." I smiled at my mom and nodded, accepting her millionth hug. "Promise me you'll be good."

"What else am I, mom?" I played off and she chuckled before pulling back to turn to Vivian.

"Mom, I already know the drill." She mumbled with an unlit cigarette between her lips. Mom still walked up and snatched the stick before breaking it in half. "Oh my G- do you know how much those cost??"

"Yes, I do." She hissed out and slapped her shoulder. "I don't care how old you are, keep those shits out of your mouth."

Vivian rolled her eyes when suddenly a deep voice rattled us both. "Hey, keep those eyes intact young lady." I raised my head and smiled widely when I saw my dad rounding the corner.

"Dad." I quickly pulled him into a hug and he smiled, rocking us side to side. "Please save me from another hug from mom." He laughed softly and rubbed my back.  "I'm serious."

"I believe you." He looked up at mom and Vivian before nodding his head to the side for me to follow him towards the car. "Listen, I already gave you this talk but it's college now, it's a bit more crazy." I nodded in understanding as he scratched the little stubble he had. "I want you to be cautious but have fun."

"Is this a sex talk?" I questioned with furrowed eyebrows and he smirked with a head shake. "What?"

"I'm sure you know enough." He said with a hint at my first girlfriend that shall not be named. "No this is a warning talk. I admire how into studies you are, I envy that, but I also don't want you to waste four years of your youth for a 'settled' job." I nodded softly and he then handed me a small backpack. "I'm not saying be crazy, but have fun."

"What's this?" I questioned and started to open it but he quickly stopped me and looked at mom. "Oh... okay."

"Ready hun?" Mom asked as she walked up to us with a smile. "Making sure my baby behaves?"

Dad looked at me with a soft grin before nodding. "Totally. Let's get out of the kids hair, yeah? We have a plane to catch."

After another series of hugs and 'I love yous' our parents climbed into their rental car and waved as they drove off.

"Ugh fuck, finally." Vivian grabbed the backpack on my back and started dragging me to my dorm room. "Time to get fucking lit!"

"What? No it isn't." I protested but she literally pulled me all the way into Wilbur hall and down the corridor with all the other freshman watching amusingly. When we made it to my two bed dorm room, she slammed the door shut and pushed me onto the desk chair, the backpack in her hand. "Hey! Dad gave that to me!"

"I know, dumbass." She hissed and pulled it open before flipping it over, emptying all of the contents onto my bed. "Dad and I agreed to get you a little more outgoing and a little less dorky."

I slowly sat down on the bed and looked over everything. "I'm not dorky.." I picked up the box of Lifestyle condoms and shook them in confusion. "Does he want me to become a frat boy?"

"No STDs. Aha!" She held up a mini sized bottle of liquor with a smirk. "Here we go, now we're talking. Take a shot baby Y/nn."

"Um, no." I shoved everything back into the backpack, my head shaking. "I have my first class tomorrow and I have a feeling they'll be giving us a pre unit exam. So, you do whatever you want but I'll be studying." She let out an exasperated sigh but I sat at the desk and pulled my books and notebooks out of my real backpack.

"You're such a pussy, pleaseeee."

"Nope." I sighed.

"Please?" She continued.

"No."

"Y/n-"

I slammed my hand on the desk in annoyance before looking up at the blonde headed girl. "Vivian, please. If I'm such a drag, go to your apartment. My roommate should be here soon anyways." I felt her eyes on me but I kept them down and on the textbook.

"If you insist... pussy." I heard the backpack zip up and pushed under my bed before her footsteps lingered away and out of the door. My eyes drifted to the bag in curiosity but I knew I couldn't focus on having fun. I decided to do that freshman and sophomore year of high school and it only led me to a heartbreak.

I wasn't allowing myself to go through that. Not again.
