A/N I don't really know where I'm gonna go with this but I thought it looked fun so I am having a go. This however is slightly more based on the British university system. SJ eventually. AU 'cause Janet and Carolyn are both in it. I think they are both cool. Hope you enjoy it.
University
Chapter 1 - Sam
Samantha Carter stepped out of the car, blinking in the bright sunlight and looked around her at the campus. Her father moved around from the driver's side and started towards the glass door marked "Reception." Part way there, he turned back to his daughter who was still stood looking in all directions.
"Sam?" Her attention immediately flicked back to him with the military like discipline which had ruled her life since her mother died four years ago. Jacob carter was not an unkind man but he had spent more of his daughter's life commanding young US airmen than he had being a father and ever since he had been left alone to raise Sam and her brother Mark he had simply used the methods he was used to. It was times like this he missed his wife.
Allison had been a great mom and Jacob knew that it was her that Sam really needed today. He knew Sam had been close to her mom and that today was a day that Sam would really miss her. Allison had thought about this kind of thing. When Sam first started school and her unusual IQ had begun to show his wife had told Jacob how she could see herself taking Sam to University years down the line. Saying goodbye; telling her daughter how proud she was. That was her thing and Jacob knew his wife would have done a much better job than he was going to do. But that wouldn't stop him from trying.
Sam's head was buzzing. This was a whole new place, surrounded by so many different people. It was a place where her workaholic tendencies would get her somewhere, but it was also a place where she could see herself making better friends than she ever had and the possibilities for what would happen over the next few years were frightening. Since her mom died she had thrown herself into school becoming introverted and quiet. She had some friends and had had some boyfriends, but nobody whom she would put before her ambitions of joining the United States Air force.
She followed her father towards the reception desk trying to keep a smile on her face to cover the nerves she felt as he checked her in. The university looked nice to her. It was in an old building but the interior was contemporary and practical. The reception area was large with a semi-circular desk in one corner and large, low chairs arranged in circles. Drinks and snack machines lined the wall.
Sam opened the pamphlet in her hand while the woman behind the enormous desk explained how to find Sam's dorm building. The booklet told her that student staying on campus were housed with several other students in small apartment like buildings. Each occupant had their own bedroom kitchen and bathroom and access to a large shared living space. The groups staying in each "house" were apparently random depending on when the applicant had returned their paperwork. She looked up as her Dad turned away from the desk.
"Well Sam you're gonna be damn healthy, it's about a half mile walk to you apartment block. Come on."
A/N This is totally random I know and the chapters will probably be short but it's all about the ships people. Reviews very welcome. Dunno when I will be able to update 'cause I am focusing on "The Great Outdoors". Guess I'll write more on the one with most reviews ; P.
