Hey guys, here is chapter one.
Enjoy =)
Dani sat in the passenger seat of her older sister's truck on her way back to her school campus to begin her senior year of college.
"My little sis is growing so fast! I can't believe its you're senior year already," Dani's older sister Denise stated.
Dani smiled as she looked out her window. "I know. It seems like yesterday I was a freshman and didn't know where any of my classes were." Dani thought about how far she's come. She was excited to start her senior year, but she was apprehensive about what happens after she graduates. There was the crap load of student loan debt she'd be in, she wasn't sure if she wanted to attend graduate school right after she finished her undergraduate studies, or at all for that matter-Okay stop, Dani thought to herself, interrupting her own thoughts. She didn't even start class yet, let alone arrive to campus and she was worrying about things already.
"Did you seriously have to bring your whole life with you to school though?" Denise asked referring to the mountain of Dani's things that filled the back seat and trunk of the car.
"Umm, yes I did," the blonde replied. "I know we only like an hour and 45 minutes away from campus, but it gets annoying when I have to go back and forth because I left something at home," she explained.
Denise rolled her eyes. "Yeah I guess. And your lazy behind would be bugging me to come bring whatever, instead of hopping your ass on the train like everybody else to come get it yourself," she accused.
Dani gasped, acting as if she was offended. "I am not lazy! I just like to save my money," Dani defended.
Her big sister scoffed. "Yeah you'll be saving your money and I'm the one who has to fill up my car with gas."
Dani knew her sister had a point, but she hated not bringing most of her things with her to school. Even if she didn't think she'd need it, she would bring it anyway just in case. She hated having to go back and forth or begging her sister to bring something she needed from home.
"But I'm your little sister and you love me," Dani said with a pout.
Denise glanced at the younger girl beside her and grinned as she playfully shoved her with her right hand. "Whatever."
Dani and her sister talked and laughed for the next 45 minutes in the car until they arrived on campus. Dani smiled as she saw some familiar faces in the parking lots unloading their things from their vehicles. She rolled down the window and let the warm breeze hit her face. It was beautiful outside with a temperature of 82 degrees, not a cloud in sight on that Saturday afternoon in late August.
Classes didn't start until Monday, but Dani decided to move in a bit early this year to beat the crowd and she saw that a few other students had the same idea. She spoke to her roommate Christine and she informed her that she would be moving in the next day, so Dani had the room to herself for the rest of the day and for the night. She liked having a roommate, but she also enjoyed the little times she had the room to herself. She contemplated on getting a single room, but the school charged an extra $1,000 for singles, which she thought was ridiculous. They were already robbing the students blind with the cost of tuition and other fees. The perks of attending a private university, she thought.
As her sister drove into the parking lot of her residence hall building, Dani spotted a girl whom she'd never seen before, loading a cart with her belongings from a car parked into the spot next to where Denise was pulling into. She was tall and thin with long dark hair and tanned skin. Dani didn't know why she suddenly found herself drawn to this girl, but she was hoping to get a good look at her face. She only saw a vague profile view as the girl was busy with her luggage, then she turned and headed out of the parking lot toward the residence hall. Although Dani didn't get a good look at the taller girl's face, she could tell she was beautiful. And she felt her face light up just a tad when she saw that she was entering her hall.
"Okeedoke, here we are," Denise said, taking Dani's attention away from the mystery girl. Dani smiled, unbuckled her seatbelt and departed the truck.
"You can start taking the tuff out, I'm gunna go check in, get my key and find a cart," Dani told her sister.
Denise complied and made her way to the trunk and began dragging the heavy suitcases and luggage out onto the ground. A few moments later, Dani returned to the truck with her room key in hand and pushing a black cart on four wheels and proceeded to load it up with her things. Since Dani brought like every thing she owned, it took 3 trips to bring everything up to her room. Once she was done, she returned the cart to the lobby of her residence hall and headed back to the parking lot.
"You all set?" Denise asked the younger girl.
"Yep, that's everything," Dani answered, double checking inside of the truck.
"I wish I could stay and help you unpack, but I got called into work later," the older woman explained with a small pout.
"Aww that's okay," Dani said, though she was slightly disappointed. She wasn't ready for her sister to leave just yet.
"No, it's not. I wanted to spend the day with you, help you unpack and maybe go grab a bite to eat," Denise responded. "This is the last time you'll be doing this," she said referring to the whole college dorm moving in process.
Dani gave her sister a small smile. "Yeah, I know. You can take me out another time, I understand."
"Alright," Denise said reluctantly. "I gotta get going now, but how about I come back up in a few weeks after you get comfortable with all your classes and I take you out. We could go to the mall and out to dinner or something," Denise suggested.
Dani smiled widely, "Of course!"
"Cool," Denise said, returning her smile and extending her arms out for a hug. Dani happily went into them and hugged her big sister tight. She was so grateful to have her.
"Thanks for bringing me back and helping me with all of my stuff," Dani said as she hugged the older woman.
"No problem, Dan," Denise replied. "Do you have money for food? I know the dining hall is probably still closed.
"Yeah, Im good," Dani answered as they parted. "I got paid yesterday." Dani was glad she got her last paycheck from her summer job the day before. Denise spotted the younger girl a 20 anyway.
Dani smiled and shook her head as she accepted the money. "Thanks." She shut the driver's seat door after her sister hopped in. "Text me when you get home, love you."
"I will. Love you too."
Dani stepped back and watched her big sister drive out of the parking lot onto the street until her car was out of sight. The moment the blonde turned around to head back to her building, she was hit with a cart and fell backward onto the ground after losing her balance from the sudden contact.
"Owe," she said in pain once her butt thudded onto the pavement of the parking lot.
"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry!"a girl squealed, and immediately ran around the cart to extend her hand and help Dani get up. Dani winced as she took the girl's hand and lifted herself up. She wiped the dirt off of her shorts then looked up to see who it was, then realized it was the same girl she spotted earlier. And she could have sworn she felt her heart skip eight beats as she looked at this beautiful human being before her.
"I'm so sorry. I should have been paying attention instead of on my phone, are you alright?" the tall girl asked. Dani was trying her best to stop staring. She mentally told herself to snap out of it, but her brain wouldn't allow her eyes to tear away from her. "Umm, are you alright?" the girl repeated, slightly more concerned.
Dani shook her head swiftly, finally finding the ability to stop being a total creep. "Yes! Yes, I'm good. It's okay, I'm fine," she said quickly, growing nervous after every word she spoke. She could never keep her nerves calm when she was around attractive people. She made a mental note to work on that, especially because she noticed they lived in the same dorm and assumed they would see more of one another because of that fact. The tanned girl slightly smiled when she noticed how nervous Dani was getting.
"Alright, good. No broken bones?" she asked, teasing.
"No broken bones," Dani reassured, thankful the girl injected some humor into the situation to ease her nervousness.
"Great," the taller girl grinned and began to continue to where she was headed. "See you around."
Dani watched as the sapphic goddess made her way to the a car in the parking spot next to where Denise was parked. She literally forced herself to keep walking and not stare at her again.
Dammit! What's her name?
