Chapter One
Blake P.O.V
Today is the day, it's move in day. I've been waiting 4 long years for this day. I have been planning this day for so long that it doesn't feel real. When I got my acceptance letter it was like my life was finally going to be in my own hands. I got accepted to Stanford University in California -- clear across the country.
My plane leaves in about an hour, and of course I'm late. I sent my things on the moving truck yesterday so this way it'd be there when I arrived, but at this rate they will be there before me.
"B! We have to go!" My brother yells. " Mom and Dad are in the car waiting, come on!"
"Okay! I'm coming." I yell back. I turn around and take one last look at my childhood room -- I shut my door and rush down the stairs. As I hit the last step my dog Belle rushes up to me, I bend down and pet her not wanting to say goodbye for so long. I look up from the brown eyed baby to see my brother Matt at the door.
"Come on, We can't miss this flight." he breathes. I just nod my head and get in the car. As we drive away from the only place I've called home, I start to get excited. After a short ride to the airport, I hug my parents and say goodbye to them, after we say our goodbyes we get in line for security. As soon as we are done with security we hear our flight number being called.
"Flight 801" The lady says over the intercom. Matt and I get in our designated group and wait our turn.. I see the screen above the flight attendants head say group 2 -- she waves us to come forward, we give her our ticket and board the plane.
"What are our seats again?" Matt asks. I shake my head looking down at the tickets. "We have seats F5 and F6." I respond back, rolling my eyes. We take our seats and wait for the plane to take off. After what seems like forever, we finally take off. Once we are in the air, I decided to take a nap to make the time go by faster.

"Hey, we are about to land." Matt says nudging me. I sit back up slowly, yawning while looking out the window to see faint palm trees. The plane lands and I stand up stretching my legs, as I am about to walk into the isle, a little boy with curly blonde hair and glasses runs into me. I look back at Matt and decide to wait until almost everyone is off.
Once it looks like it has died down a little, Matt and I head to the front of the plane and get off.
We walk out of the airport and look around taking in my surroundings. The air smells like a mixture of rain and flowers. "Why are you smiling like that?" Matt asks me
"We've been to California many times but never have I been here alone.. It feels good." I smile wider.
Matt just laughs and hails a cab, we get in and tell the man where to go -- he nods and we are on our way.
We arrive to the campus, and I see a banner that says freshman check in on this really big building. The man pulls over and we get out -- Matt pays him and we start to walk towards the banner.
"Hey, welcome to Stanford! My name is Luke. What dorm are you in?" A tall, dark haired, muscular man says.
"FroSoCo Adams" I answer.
" Okay, awesome. So what you need to do is go to this building here then find the table with sign 'Adams' on it and check in. From there they will give you the dorm number and tell you how to get there." Luke explains.
I smile at him " Actually, I am a basketball player. I've been up here a few times for team bonding and was shown my dorm then."
He laughs " Oh okay!! You can check in at your dorm to get your room key."
