I wake up to my alarm going off. I feel happy. I feel anxious. I feel excited. Throwing my blankets off I get up and get in the shower.

I get out and wrap a towel around me and walk to my room. I open the door and walk to my closet and look for something presentable to wear for my first day of college. My roommate shows up later on today. I moved into my dorm early.

I decide to wear a pair of dark colored jeans with a few rips in them with a beige colored crop top sweater that has triangle designs etched into it. I leave my hair in soft waves and pull just the sides back in a twist and clip them with a small clip that isn't noticeable. I put on some light eye shadow, mascara and eyeliner. I put on my favorite necklace that is silver and has a music note on the end of it. I grab a few random bracelets to put on with the outfit. I slip my favorite dark sunglasses on top of my head as I look at my shoes. I look between my slip on vans and my black high heels. Deciding that I want to make a good first impression I grab my black six inch heels and sit on my bed to put them on. I grab my black and white coach purse with a notebook in it with my phone and keys before walking out my dorm door and down the hallway. I reach the outside door and push it open and walk towards my first class.

The day is going amazing. I couldn't be happier. My classes are fun. My teachers seem cool. The best thing is that I am on my own and deciding everything for my own. I smile as I walk to the cafeteria with my glasses over my eyes to hide the sun. I hear my phone go off and reach into my bag and pull it out. I swipe it open and see a text from my best friend.

Hope everything is going well on your first day. Love you and miss you. : ) :,( :)

I smile as I send a quick text back.

I love and miss you too. It is fun so far. How is work?

Placing my phone back in my bag I pull open the door to the cafeteria and walk in.

I look around and notice it is more than a cafeteria. There is a small section where people are eating and then other sections where people are sitting with their computers and friends. Some are drinking coffee and others are goofing off and having fun. I push my glasses up on my head and walk towards the line for the food.

I end up getting a piece of pizza and a soda. I walk over to a table and sit down to eat. I pull out my phone and log in to Twitter to see what is new. I start scrolling through and reading what everyone is tweeting as I slowly eat my food.

I finish my food and look at the time and realize my last class doesn't start for another half hour. I get up and throw away my empty soda bottle and plate. I walk over to the café and order a latte. I pay the lady and stand waiting for it to be ready. "Laura?" I hear my name and walk forward and grab my coffee. I smile, "Thank you." I turn and walk over to a lounge chair and sit down and pull my phone back out and decide to play on Pinterest for a little while.

I hear commotion and look up watching as people come and go. I look around and see someone has brought a skateboard in and is showing his friends new tricks. I smile and watch him for a few seconds. He tries to do a flip and I watch him fall on his butt and then the board land next to him. I hold in the laughter and look back at my phone. I check the time and see I have twenty more minutes. I know the class is right across the sidewalk so I don't stress about the time and lean back enjoying my coffee.

I hear laughter and look up to see the boy and his friends laughing about something as they walk over to a couch with a table and chairs around it to sit. I look back at my phone and ignore everything going on. I get a text back and smile as I read it.

Boring as always. I hate my jobbb. :'(

I laugh and shake my head before typing back.

If you hate it so much tell him you quit.

I can picture her laughing as she reads the text. Within a second my phone beeps.

Yeah because it is so easy to quit Jason, how long did it take you?

I laugh and shake my head knowing she has a point.

Good point. I love you Becky but can't help you.

I hit send and look at the time seeing that I should probably get going.

I put my phone in my bag that is sitting on the floor by my feet. I look around to see the area clearing out as others are coming in. It is different from high school but I love it. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. I take a sip of my coffee. I look around and see the boy and his friends still sitting over with the couch and chairs. The two girls with them and three of boys are on their phone and two of the other boys are eating. I shake my head as I see the skateboard under one of their feet. I watch as he moves his feet side to side moving the board with him.

I drink the last of my coffee and see I have ten minutes. I look in my bag to make sure I have everything. I hear feet and then see two feet standing in front of me. I move my head up and look at the guy standing before me. He smiles warmly at me, "Hello, I am Ross. What is your name?" I smile, "Laura." He puts his hand out to shake and even though I think it is weird I place my hand in his and watch him bend down and kiss the top of my hand. I look at him strangely and when he lets go, I pull my hand back to me without being obvious how weird I think this all is. He smiles, "I saw you earlier and wanted to say hi, I just didn't know how." I smile, "Well hi." He laughs and leans against the arm of the chair, "Do you think we could hang out some time?" I shrug as I stand up and grab my bag, "Maybe. I bet I will see you around." He smile and shakes his head, "Why don't you come meet my friends?" I smile, "Sorry, I have to get to class." He sighs and looks down, "Do you think I could get your number then? I just want to be able to contact you. You seem awesome." I look down and then shrug, "I guess so." I tell him my number and watch him type it into his phone. He smiles and places it in his pocket. "Maybe next time we can hang out. I would like that very much." I smile, "Maybe. It was nice meeting you but I really have to go." He nods and I walk away. As I open the door I hear him and his friends oohing and laughing before I walk out and head to my last class of the first day of college.
