"The lights look weird there. Maybe we should put them on the other wall." My best friend, Avery, says as I stand on my desk chair, trying to decorate our new college dorm.

"Fuck the lights." I said as I put down the very basic fairy lights Avery wanted to be on our room. "How old are we? 12?"

"Ok bitch, damn." She says, taking the lights from my desk. "I'll just put them up another day."

I go to my bed and lie down and stare at the ceiling. Tomorrow was mine and Avery's first day of our senior year of college. I don't know why I was nervous, but I was surely taking it out on Avery.

"I'm sorry, Ave." I said to her as she laid on her bed.

"Addy, don't worry about it. I know you're stressed."

Damn right I was stressed. I had already changed my major five times. I still had no clue what I wanted to do. I never wanted to go to college in the first place. I was only here to make my mom happy. Plus, I wanted to experience all the okay things college had to offer- parties and... well that's pretty much it. I hadn't made a lot of friends since my freshman year here. I had other suitemates that lived in my dorm with me, but they were so different from Avery and I. Avery had been my friend since my junior year of high school and we both decided to go to Boston University together since it was the closest to home and we both got accepted.

I sighed and rolled over on my side now facing her bed. "What am I going to do?"

"It'll come to you, don't worry."

I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring. I hit snooze a couple times, but that didn't help since Avery had the same alarm set on her phone.

"Tell me why we thought 8 am classes were a good idea. What were we thinking?" She says as she rolls out of bed.

I do the same and follow her to the kitchen area we shared with our four other suitemates. I eat some left-over pasta from the fridge and head into the bathroom to start getting ready. I throw on a Boston University shirt, leggings, and vans before heading out the door with Avery.

The walk was quiet since we were both tired. We said goodbye as we both approached the different buildings we had classes in.

I head into the classroom and most of the seats were already taken. The only ones open were the seats on the very back row. Great. I thought to myself. The back was were the losers sit. More and more people come in and the chairs around me start filling up.

"Is this seat taken?" I hear a raspy voice ask me. I look up and make eye contact with this boy. He had messy, curly blonde hair and baby blue eyes. I stared at him for what felt like an hour and finally responded.

"Um, no, go ahead." I say. I move my bookbag out of his way and he sits down next to me.

"Great, thanks." He said with a smile.

God, this boy was gorgeous. I had never seen him around, though. Avery and I had gone to so many parties during our three years here and a boy who looked like that would stand out at a party.

"I'm Joey, by the way."

"Addison."

Class went on like normal. The professor read the syllabus and went straight into the lecture. I was currently taking courses in the business department, even though I wasn't really interested. I tried to listen to the lecture, but the boy beside me was very distracting. Every now and then I would see him glancing over at me from the corner of my eye, but I never looked back. Believe it or not, I never had a real boyfriend. Oh, how I wish he would talk to me. Like ask me for a pencil or something? But nothing. The only sound was the annoying professor talking about entrepreneurship or some shit like that.

It was finally 10:00 which meant the class was finally over. I met Avery between the two buildings and she could tell something was up. We walked in silence until she broke it.

"What's up, Addy? Talk to me."

"So, there's this guy..."
