IN MY LITREATURE CLASS I talked to Mrs. Cooper and though she could not do anything she still provided me an edge.

"You can write me a five thousand word story than, it won't give you as much marks as the quiz but something is better than nothing right?"

Great! All I needed to make my life more difficult was a five thousand word story on top of a drunk roommate.

At lunch time Lisa, Amy and I went to the breakfast hall because they apparently served lunch too, obviously I thought. We ate beef steak which was dry and a little corn hash. Amy even went for a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I never used this place because a) I didn't know about it much and b) my plan for navigating through college was, coming, studying , Lisa and Amy time and then home. No stopping by the food halls or anything. My only stop would be the library or the cafeteria occasionally. My only interaction with people would be a smile or a hi, hello, but I could already sense myself becoming loose. I could easily talk to anyone now and roam around freely even though it has only been a day I can see the differences in me.

By night time after talking to Amy and Lisa a bit I came to my dorm at about seven. Using the key under the mat I let myself in because I forgot my own keys inside. Nicole was still out when I came and so I switched on m laptop and vedio called home.

I told the little devils everything and as expected the wanted to know every single detail. When by eight thirty I switched off the laptop Nicole was still missing. I never the less got ready for bed but kept on the light for her. At about ten she came and woke me from my sleep but didn't say a word and as silent as a grave she went to bed.

When I woke up in the morning Nicole was up even though it was eight thirty and she was packing her stuff, probably for her class. Since the weird introduction yesterday she has not spoken to me once and I am not going to start a conversation.

I met Lisa and Amy in the hall and I sat with them with my breakfast ( sausage and an egg and apple juice)

"Ahem," I cleared my throat.

At this Amy and Lisa began laughing frantically.

"What?" I asked clearly irritated, but they just kept shaking their head.

"Great now you guys have silly inside jokes and I am unawre of them, what a good trio," I snarled at hem at which they became silent.

"No Cath-CATH..." they began but I ran from the hall and didn't talk to them all day
