Boulevard Entailing Escapades

Chapter-7.

On our way to the Hailstone Vale, the locations which were moving past my vision were looking like different massive galaxies. The galaxies where I used to jump around all my childhood. And now, I'm going to leave them behind. Designating them as "my past".

The Hailstone Vale is approximately a two hours car drive from my home in Springs, NA- the place where I live.

Mom, dad and Jake were constantly trying to talk to me during the journey. I did reply to them but my vision was incressantly stuck on the car's window; the view of large fields, lanes and lakes was mesmerising. I was pretty afraid to leave this view behind.

Ever heard of the term 'mirage'? No? Okay. You must have heard that when a person is stuck in a desert for a very long time and is quite thirsty, he seems to see a pond at some distance. But in reality, there's no pond and just a mere imagination. That's what Mirage is.

Well, I was going through the same. Obviously I wasn't seeing some pond or something. What I was seeing was not exactly a mirage but something similar to that. The lanes and the fields moving past our car had my childhood memories. My imagination was so strong that I could imagine a baby me playing in the fields and hopping around the lanes and diving into the lakes.

"Ten minutes and we'll be there.." My dad sang.

Oh shit, no! Oh my gosh! No, shit!I want to pee!

I could feel my urges to pee, I was so nervous. I couldn't imagine I was having my last ten minutes with my beautiful family.

Nervousness was flowing past my white face, turning me pale.

"Honey, are you alright?" My mom asked, Looking at me through the mirror.

"M—Mom, I'm really v—very scared. I—"
I was trying to say something when Jake swayed his hand across me and hugged me. It was relaxing. Dad turned back and gave me a very warm smile.

"Oh, look! We have reached." My mom said.

I couldn't understand how on Earth did those ten minutes pass away so fast!

Dad drove the car straight into the campus parking and past the dorm circle and parked the car.

A bald man with a short built came to dad and asked something. I wasn't able to hear.

To which my dad replied, "May miller. What's her registered room number?"

That man opened up his big and thick register and studied it for a while and said, "Sir, it's RED-22."

"Wait. What's this RED in RED-22?" I asked, totally out of curiosity.

"Ma'am, RED rooms are for female students. We have rooms for male students by the name BLUE. The rooms are arranged alternatively; one RED room and then one BLUE room and so on."
The man gave me a detailed description.

"Oh, I see!"

The man pointed in the direction of many rooms and said, "That way, sir."

I unloaded my luggage from the car's trunk and dad helped me carry it to my room.

The room's door was painted red and a golden plate hung on the top right corner saying "RED-22".

Under the room number, two names were inscribed in small caps.

MAY MILLER.
CATHERINE HUNT.

Even before opening the door, I said to myself, "So, May Miller, how do you feel? You have a roommate now. Hope you have a good time with her!"

I kept the luggage on the floor which had some milky coloured tiles. I held the door notch and swung it open. The door opened and behind it was a 'not-so-big-but-good-enough-for-me' room.

I was nervous, but also excited. After all, I'm going to be at this place for two years. I should enjoy it.
