Acquaintances[ON HOLD]

College

******** Hero's POV*******

Today is the big day. My first day of college. We had to move in on campus this past weekend and I've never been so excited for a bit of freedom. Don't get me wrong my parents by no means were strict and often let me chill with my guys. But not having to report to them at the end of the night is the absolute best thing in the world. In high school I was an athlete, pitcher for the baseball team to be specific. Obviously chilled with the athletic popular crowd. But by no means was I the best athlete, that would be my best friend Ryan. He got a baseball scholarship for Northern so of course he took it. Show off. I on the other hand wasn't good enough to play for the university so starting a life post athlete I'm not sure how to go from here but I'll figure it out. Most of my guys and I have split up and gone to different colleges except for Zac. Zac and I both decided to come to Central University so at least I know someone.

I have an 8 am class and when my alarm went off at 7 I already regretted it. "Take an 8 am they said, it will be just like high school they said" Bullshit I can already tell it's not. Once I'm out of the shower and ready I decide not to wonder to the dinning hall. Instead I elect to eat a protein bar and juice I have in my dorm fridge I share with Zac. Zac who was smart and doesn't class until 10 is still passed out on his bed so I make sure to quietly close the door as I leave.

I take out my map of the campus and realize my class is all the way across campus. "Fucking fantastic" I mumble to myself sarcastically. I start the long hike across campus, luckily the weather is nice so I'm not dealing with that at least.

Once I arrive to class I see that the class is already somewhat full. Luckily I see theater are some still some seats in the back so I head to the back. You could say I'm a bit nervous for my first college class. In high school they tell you they're 20x harder so you need to prepare your self....I'm hoping this was just a scare tactic. I pull out my laptop and folder and place them on the pullout desk. Once I finish with that I sit back and people watch. I love to watch people and try to figure them out, so I decided doing so as everyone walks into class would be a good tie, to do so. Person after person walks in, everyone having a different reaction than others. Some like me don't seem to know anyone and just find any random seat. Others seem to somehow know a person or two and finds a way to sit with them. There's one seat left in the class and it's next to me, I'm hoping the next person to walk through better be a bomb as dude who I can chill with or a hot babe. I look at the door waiting to see if someone will walk in, after what seems like, forever I see a pair of toms walk through the door. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks but after a few seconds I realize it's not an elusion..... I know this girl.....it's Josephine.......

Josephine and I went to high school together. Let's just say we were friendly acquaintances. We didn't really run in the same circle but often had classes together. She was also an avid  baseball watcher but that's only because she had a glaring obvious crush on my best friend Ryan. She never admitted it but everyone knew including Ryan. Of course Ryan being the sweet guy he is was always friendly to her and thanked her for coming when we did talk. We even ended up going to her graduation party as a team, Ryan insisted. Josephine niceness sometimes I think was her downfall. She also had no idea how to style her hair or clothes. And like every other high schooler battled acne and braces(I had hat at some point also). But this Josephine the one standing at the door way..... that's not that Josephine. Her hair is styled nicely with blond beach waves,clothes styled nicely with jeans and a flannel. Face is clear of braces and acne.....what happened over the summer? I don't know someone could change so much in 3 months. Once I gather my thoughts I realize Josephine and I are making eye contact . She gives me a small smile and walks toward the only empty seat next to me.

"Hey" she says quietly

"Hey" I say back

"Small world huh? Us being in the same class on this large campus" she says

"Yeah it'll be nice to know someone" I reply as I give her a small smile.

Before she can respond our professor walks in and speaks up

"Hello everyone my name is Professor Madison and this is Geography:Exploring the world aka course 120. So if you didn't sign up for that class you best leave now you're in the wrong class, don't worry we won't laugh at you until you leave. " He says jokingly earning a laugh from all of us.
