The next morning I find myself in the car sitting next to my mother. I look at the time on the radio and it reads 6 AM. Once we reach the airport I hop out and my mom passed me my duffel bag and suit case and I sling my backpack on my back.
"I will miss you so much sweet heart, we will skype every night okay?" My mother says letting her tears run down her face. I nod so I don't do the same and walk towards the check in.
After I'm done checking in my bags I grab a donut and wait for my flight. After 20 minutes I start getting anxious as my flight gets closer. I double check to make sure I have all 300$ in my wallet. I check the atm to make sure I have 1,000$, and I double check to make sure all my boarding school papers are in my carry on. After all that is done a lady next to me leans over "don't worry sweetie you will be okay" I look at her and realize everyone around me is looking at me. I smile at them apologetically.
As I am seated on the plane I put my headphones in and pull out my laptop, when it turns on a picture of me, Kyle, and Mikenna in a black in white filter sticking our tongues out. I wipe away a tear and check out the boarding schools website.
A few hours later they announce the flight will be landing.
When the flight finally lands I grab my bag and walk off the plane. I walk through the airport till I see a sign with the boarding schools logo on it.
"Hi I'm with you" I say to the man "ok wait here, there are 5 other students riding with us" he smiles.
After a few minutes I am joined with an tall Indian guy, a short girl with brown hair, a tall Chinese girl, a buff guy with brown hair, and a girl who I'm pretty sure is high.
We all hop into a white van and buckle up. The ride is short and the quiet air is blocked by the buff boy and high girl talking about the things they could do to each other. Thank god I brought my iPod.
Once we reached campus the van driver helped us get our suitcases and we all set off to our dorms.
Once I've reached my dorm room I realize my roommate hasn't gotten there yet. Her name was..I look down at my paper, Rya Marks.
When I enter my room there is a bed on each side of the room with a closet beside both and a desk in the back. I walk to the back and notice another room that seems to be a small bathroom, thank god there's no public bathroom.
I hang up my clothes and set up my computer on the desk. I hang up pictures of me and my friends on the wall above my bed and set up my bed. After everything is put away I realize it's almost dinner time. I remember that I have a student card that's loaded with money for food.
I reach into my wallet just as the door opens.
I turn around and in the doorway is a brunette with her hair in a pony tail. She looks up at me and I notice red freckles on her cheeks telling me she was a red head. She's wearing a tank top with yoga pants and her feet are accompanied by skimpy flip flops.
"Hi I'm Mari" I say as she closes the door. "Hey! I'm Rya but you can call me Ri" she says hugging me taking me off guard. "Sorry I'm just so excited to have a new room mate I mean you seem pretty cool!" She says pulling away from our embrace.
She puts her clothes away and sets up her bed. She puts pictures of what seems to be her friends and pictures of bands I've seen but never heard.
"So you mentioned new roommate? You've gone here before?" I ask sitting down, I don't know why I don't just go eat dinner I'm starving.
"Ya this is my second year here it's a great place but my last roommate was such a bitch and would never let me smoke or drink" she says setting up her mini fridge "smoke and drink?" I ask confused "oh no your not a snitch are you? I was almost not aloud back here again this year because of my last roommate" she turns around and has a worried look. "No no no don't worry I just didn't know the school allowed it" I say looking at her grunge setup, my mother would never allow.
"They don't we hide the shit so the campus police don't find it, they do weekly room looks for anything including drugs, alcohol, porn magazines or movies, condoms, you name it" she says pulling a bottle of coca cola out of her suitcase and a tiny bottle of cigarettes, I watch her as she slowly puts the coca cola in the mini fridge and puts the cigarettes in her jewelry box. "We put alcohol in soda bottles to hide them in here" she says explaining the bottle.
"Wanna go to target we could spice up the place and I'll even pay for your McDonald's!" I smile and nod my head grabbing my purse.
