wasted || michael clifford

1.0

It was the summer after senior year. I had committed to a college at the very end of the school year; after barely passing through all of my high school classes, and was sitting on my front porch, contemplating what college life would be like. August was in full swing, and you could almost feel the sensation of summer slipping through your fingertips.

I was currently living in a small house with only my mother to keep me company. My dad left us after a huge fight with my mom during freshman year. He still has yet to return. Between her two jobs and working from home, I don't see her much, which leaves me alone most of the time. And of course, that isn't time I like to let go to waste.

I chose LACU as my college, not for academics, but because it is the party school.

To me, life isn't anything without letting loose and living a little (or alot). I'm out almost every night of the weekend (and the occasional tuesday night) getting completely wasted, hooking up with a couple of guys, and sneaking back in through my window as the sun comes up.

Despite all of the guys I've been with, I have never had an actual boyfriend. I guess I owe this to my acute fear of commitment. I dont want to give myself to one guy, only to have my heart broken. i dont know if i could bear it. That's also why i had such issues commiting to a college, and chose LACU at the last possible minute. Considering my grades, the only real reason I got in was because of the financial aid I was being given due to my MIA father.

With all of these thoughts swimming through my head, I almost forgot the fact that it was a friday night. I would have to drive up to LACU on monday, and stay there. I'm more than a little nervous, but once I make friends and find out where all the good parties are at, I'll be fine. I'm happy that the college is only an hour away because I feel more comfortable knowing I can bail at any second, even though I probably won't. The only bad thing is that considering it's a close school and very popular, some of my past mistakes may come to college with me.

But for now, I'm going to enjoy my last friday night before everything gets complicated.

But anyway, I have this whole book planned out and I'm hoping that you guys will enjoy it as much as I do.
