Ahh to smell the fresh air of freedom thought Allison as she got out of her car. She had just arrived at her college in Williamstown and for the first time in her life she was going to be on her own. Not that she had anything against her parents; it was just that she wanted to know what life was like outside her sheltered community. She had thought her parents would have been upset that she was going so far away; but then again Williams College was pretty sheltered too.

For the first time in my life I will be away from my father and his influence over my life, thought Robert. He had just arrived in Williamstown where he had a full scholarship to the collage there. His dad hadn't cared where he went to collage so when he was accepted to Williams College a small sheltered collage in the middle of nowhere he decided to go. Robert's dad had offered to pay, but he had turned him down. He wanted to do something without his father making a mess out of it for him – unlike everything else in his life.

Allison walked up to a stone arch way outside a building. On the side of the arch she read,Climb high, Climb far. Your goal the sky, Your aim the stars. Allison thought she had never read anything more true.

Robert walked over to a stone arch where there was a brunette girl standing. He read the inscription, Climb high, Climb far. Your goal the sky, Your aim the stars. Robert thought he had never read anything that made him want to gag more.

Allison saw the blonde guy make a face at the inscription, and before he could say anything to her she walked right back to her car and headed her dorm building, Mission.

Robert was a little confused by the way that girl stormed off. He hadn't been going to say anything to her, but she had acted like he was. Ahh well he thought might as well head off to your dorm building. What is it called again... ohh yeah Mission.

Allison had finally got everything in her room…now she just had to unpack it. She looked at all the other people down her hall and saw that they all had parents helping them move in. Stupid, she thought, I should have let them come! But there was no use dwelling on that now. At least I have a single!! Suddenly a blonde man walked by carrying a heavy box. That guy looks familiar.

Robert walked into his dorm happy. He had a single! He didn't have much time to celebrate seeing a he was holding a very heavy box. As he stumbled passed all the rooms he saw parents helping their kids unpack. Thank the lord my "parents" did not decide to come he thought. As he walked past his neighbor's room he saw a familiar girl stick her head out and look at him.

Suddenly Allison remembered where she had seen him before.

"Hey I say you at the arch!" they both said at the same time. They both laughed at each other.

"Well it looks like we're dorm mates now!" said Robert.

"Yes it appears so," said Allison.

I'm Robert Chase" he said sticking out his hand.

"Allison Cameron" She said shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you" they both said at the same moment, and then laughed.


Ok humor me. In this story Cameron has this last name and she wasn't ever married. If anyone didn't catch it Chase and Cameron are at college and meeting each other for the first time.
