Eriella, it's move-in day my mother said tapping on my shoulder. I know I say as I wake up and slide out of my bed into the floor. I crawled over to my makeup bag and mirror the only things not packed up other than my outfit I picked out for today. I had a black pair of "American Eagle" booty shorts that are ripped at the bottom, an "a new day" brand shirt from Target. I finished my makeup quicker than usual but it looked better than when I focus too hard. I couldn't wait to explore UNCW and meet new people. It's January I decided to not go during the fall semester because I wanted to get a job and save up some money. I had gotten a job at Taco Bell in Tarboro, North Carolina as a cashier. It was a lot of fun and I met many great people. The team members were easy to get along with and so were my managers. I got dressed and slid on my Michael Kors flipflops and walked out of my bedroom to the kitchen to make a bowl of cheerios with almond milk. I love that cheerios are a low-calorie food and taste so good with almond milk. I looked out the window at my family who were putting the rest of my stuff into my car. I drive a 2006 blue with white racing stripes ford a mustang. I love my car so much! Mustangs have always been my favorite type of car. I remember watching Nascar with my dad when I was younger and asking him what type of car did they drive many of them drove mustangs and mustangs are what I preferred. I want to own a GT one day or a Shelby but for now, I'm a broke-ass college student. I'm gonna be majoring in Marine Biology. I put my bowl in the sink and give my German Shepherd, Harley, a kiss goodbye. I love you I tell her and rub her head. I then go back to my room pack my makeup and bring it to my car. Is that everything my dad asked me. Yes, it should be I tell him. I get into my car and put in neutral and rev my engine. I turned to see my mom who was yelling at me saying I'm gonna crash. I roll my eyes and small I put my emergency break down and out it into reverse. I then put my car in first gear then second as I go down my dirt path. My parents and grandparent with my siblings followed. I then took a left and went into third gear then fourth and lastly fifth gear. I love driving a stick it makes me feel like a racecar driver. I made my way to rocky mount where I pulled onto the highway after passing the Arbys. this was it I told myself after leaving. I'm growing up. We decided to stop somewhere and eat. We were gonna eat some fast food for lunch and go to a sit-down restaurant for dinner. I had made reservations for Elijahs. It has an indoor and outdoor part and it has a riverfront view. My family has never ate there, but I ate there when I came to Wilmington with a friend a few years ago. I pull into the parking lot of chick fil a and my family pulled in right after. Couldnt you have picked somewhere else my dad asked. Nope, I say to him. We went inside and got a table and had my father order what we wanted. While he was ordering there was a group of guys that walked in wearing UNCW t-shirts. I bet they're freshman as well. There was a black guy who looked about 6'2 he wore a black hat. There was this tan guy who looked asian he had black hair and green eyes he wore a couple of chain around his neck. There was also 2 white guys one with blonde hair and one with ginger hair. The one with blonde hair had blue eyes and the one with ginger eyes has green eyes. They got in line behind us. I went and picked out seats while my fmaily ordered. I watched as the Asian boy stayed in the line and everyone went and sat at a table a couple of rows down. When my dad and family came to sit down and I realized that I didn't have my phone so I ran out to my car to get it. Is that a 2006? someone said from behind me. Yeah I say turning around realizing that they were asking about my car. Ah thats sick. I had one just like it except myine was black and red. My brother borrowed it and totaled it. It was the best car I ever had. The person I was looking at was the blonde that was in the chick fil a with his friends. Yeah, I agree it's the best. Are you a freshman at UNCW I say pointing to his shirt. Yeah, he said. Me and my buddies in there excpt for B he's my older cousin he's actually a sophmore. Ah it's nice actually knowing someone I'm sure right? Uh yeah actually where do you go? I'm going to UNCW. That's actually sick I hope to see you around there my names Fleet by the way. Nice to meet you Fleet I'm Eriella. Eriella that's a fancy, but beautiful name. I'll catch you later. See ya. Fleet walked back inside. I got my phone out of the car and went back in and sat at the table. I should probably go ask him whaat his socials are before they leave. I stepped to the bathroom and when i came lut thew boys weregone. I saw them all climbing into an f-150. I watched as they drove off. I went back to the table to wait for my faimly to finish their food. Well I guess I'll see them around the campus maybe. I don't even know if he'll remeber me.
When my family and I arrived at the campus it had began puring down. The sky was so dark it looked as if it were night. The wind was blowing so hard it about knocked me down. I got that said a tall boy with his hair drenched. It looked kinda red but it looked like a very dark brown as well. His clothers were also drenched from the rain. He was wearing an American Eagle hoodie and some ripped skinny jeans. He grabbed the three heavy boxes I was carrying. Where are you staying? he asked. I'm staying in the Third Hawk Wing Hall. My cousin stays there he said. Oh really thats cool I said. Yeah it's whatever. He's attractive but rude. My family and I followed him. What number? he asked. 15 I said. He walked about halfway down the hall and stopped in front of my door. Do you have the key on you? he asked. Yes, I say as I grabbed my wallet off of the three boxes he carried. I opened the door and he let all of my family come in before he did. He sat the boxes down and offered to help carry more stuff, but I told him that was everything. Alight y'all have a safe trip back he said to my parents. You'll like it here he told me as he shut the door behind them.
