Chapter 1- The Daughter, The College Student

McKenna Rose Williams. That was the name chosen for me eighteen years ago on the day of my birth. Now, I am a college freshman, it is September, and the first day of classes at Westbrook University in sunny, Southwest Utah; the first day of my new, official life.

"You look wonderful, sweetie." Mark compliments me. Mark is my father, and also the band director at Freemont High, where I graduated just four months earlier.
"Thanks." I smile back.
"Ready for this?"
"More than ever!" I say, though inside I am shaking, completely nervous.
"You'll be fine- no worries." He says reassuringly, sipping his Diet Coke. I return the reply with a quick peck on his cheek, going out to my purple Grand Prix GT and starting it up. The quiet roar of the engine calms my fraying nerves.
Don't be nervous I think, pulling my long blond hair back into a ponytail. It's the beginning of a new life with new experiences!! Breathe.
Lucky for me, Westbrook is only ten-ish minutes away. Stopped at a red light, I blare Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You," drumming and singing at the top of my lungs; only to notice a brown-haired blue-eyed man in his late twenties chuckling at this sight. I blush and luckily the light turns green, saving me from utter humiliation. To my great thanks, we head in different directions, and I arrive at W.U. in plenty of time. That was so randomly weird. I hope I don't have to face him anytime soon!! I sigh in relief, lock my car, and head for Western Civilization, my first class of the day; not realizing what is to come.
