The first thing I saw when I stepped out of our beat up old Chevy was the flashy Red and yellow Sign reading, "Wellington University home of the grizzly bears". This was a much anticipated trip since Jon, my very irritable older brother hadn't shut up about it since he found out that we were taking a tour here.
On the other hand Valentine mine and Jon's father thought that Jon could do better than this, that he could study abroad in a fancy place like France or something. He always favored Jon over me, in fact when he was pushing Jon towards expensive education, he was also pushing me towards a children's home and I'm fifteen. The reason he is so bitter towards me was that apparently I reminded him of my mother Jocelyn who died giving birth to me.
So I wouldn't say I had the best luck but at least I have Jon the only one I consider family. Well I Guess I won't have Jon that long by the means that were touring a college.
Meanwhile, I was freezing when we finally reached the main entrance to the Student recreation center. When we walked through the glass doors I gasped, this place was HUGE! I just stood there lost in thought when I saw Valentine glare at me, his eyes telling me to follow him or have him make a scene which would not end well. So I trudged along unwillingly with the laces on my combat boots untied and flying everywhere. When I reached Jon and valentine the tour had already began.
The tour guide finally made himself known saying" Welcome to Wellington University I'll be your Guide today, my name is Simon Lewis." I was at the front of the group so I got a good look at him he was your average nerd with his unruly brown hair, bulky glasses, tee shirts with anime warriors on it, and khakis.
After, a few wandering parties joined our group he said "follow me" and we were off. It was a pretty long tour since the campus was huge. First, he showed us the dorms that had co Ed halls, then we saw the frats and sororities in which there weren't very many because you had to earn your way in there, Next we saw the education buildings, Last we finished back at the recreation building with some of Simon's dorky personal stories and we toured the workout area in which we saw a few jocks yelling " fresh meat" , one of them caught my eye a boy with golden eyes and hair my fingers itched to draw him. He was almost perfect except for that he was laughing along with his other stupid friends.
When we finally were done my feet hurt so badly, so when Valentine suggested checking out more I protested. He told me to wait in the gift shop and I did for a good three hours. I looked out into the parking lot the Chevy wasn't there.
I knew I had been abandoned.
