    Three freshmen in college.

    For Emily, Tony, and Rosie, this warm autumn morning was just the beginning of this torturous adventure that awaited them. What was supposedly going to be another boring day of waiting for their classes to start, ended up taking an interesting turn.

    The park's leaves were changing to browns, yellows, oranges and more brightly filled colors as they fluttered to the ground. People's laughs and music filled the air while some worked vigorously to finish their assignment that happened to be due in the next hour. If that frat party wasn't thrown last night, these three might have had their work done.

    Rosie sat and stared at the blank page in front of her while tapping her pencil to the beat of whatever song Tony had happened to conjure up. Emily on the other hand, was writing as quick as a cheetah. She was trying to finish this assignment as soon as possible to be able to stop by the local Sarah's Café that was located on the other end of campus. Tony continued to make beats on the wooden table they resided at, not caring for his grade in the slightest. 

"Done!" Emily exclaimed, slamming her pencil onto the table and stood up from her seat in a flash. Her dark brown hair that is cut into a perfect bob falls into her flushed face. Her green eyes light up at her so called masterpiece. A huge smile graces her lips as she kisses the final product of her essay.

"Nice job girlie! Now help me out!" Tony slides his blank paper across the picnic bench to Emily who only glared at him. Tony's chocolate skin drips in sweat under Emily's not so intense stare.

"Do you not remember anything about Former Yugoslavia?" Tony shrugged his shoulders in reply, continuing his drumming.

    Emily gave Rosie a look who only smiled as aid. Rosie released her light brown hair from her bun, letting it fall into soft waves to her mid back. Rosie groaned before actually starting the essay that was now due in forty five minutes or less.

The next thirty minutes were spent with Emily forcing Tony to use his brain and work as Rosie slowly wrote her essay. In the end, Emily gave up and waved goodbye, heading to her beloved Café.

"Make sure he has at least a paragraph for Professor Steel." Emily calls over her shoulder before scampering off. Rosie peeks over at Tony's work to see that he indeed has a paragraph. What surprised her more was the fact that he has two. This must be a good day.

    Rosie looked back down to her paper and let out a soft sigh. She needed a good closing but that happened to be the one thing she struggled at. She was never able to tie in her point to a close. Rosie believed everything continues, even if you might not see it, it's there.

    Rosie jumped in her seat as Tony slammed his textbook closed. He gave her a thumbs up at pointed at his wrist. She looked at her phone before letting out a gasp. She had five minutes to get to the other side of campus. She scrambled to get her stuff together before yelling what she hoped to be a see you soon as she ran to her physics class.

    The wind whipped her hair in all directions and she silently cursed herself for not keeping it up in its original bun. Rosie dodged all the people who were walking, skating or riding bikes around the plot of land they called school. She made it to her building with a minute to spare and walked straight into the metal door.

     Well what she thought was a door. All her books tumbled to the ground and she bent down to retrieve them as a voice spoke out.

"Are you going to say sorry?" A voice took her out of her daze and she looked up to meet a very pissed looking boy.

"Shoot! I'm so sorry! I was late for class and-"

"Just watch where you are going next time!" He snapped at her. Rosie scolded herself for being so oblivious to the guy who stood in the way of the door.
