Hey guys! I really hope you enjoy this story. I'm not sure how long it will be. But I'm think at least... 5 or 6? But ya enjoy :)

A small boy of 4 years runs into his big sister's room. A typical room for a girl her age. Lots of pink, stuffed animals and posters that covered the wall with celebrities mainly found on Disney Channel.

"Emmy, Emmy! Guess what!" His face was in this big cheeky smile. It was impossible for anyone not to instantly fall in love with the child upon looking at him. His sister was sitting on her bed listening to her mp3 player. Although she was content in what she was doing, she took out her headphones and smiled down at the preschooler.

"What's up Bubby? The boy's smile got even bigger after hearing his favorite nickname.

"Mommy is taking us to the zoo. She says I'll get to see the Polar Bears!" By now he was bouncing up and down with his excitement.

"Well, I suppose I should get ready shouldn't I?" He nodded rapidly before sprinting out the room most likely to get more things for our trip that day...

I open my eyes and sigh, realization that it was just a dream. I have been doing that a lot lately, reliving old memories through my dreams. I lay in my bed for awhile.

What is he up too? I wonder how his first day of 8th grade will be, I hope that he makes some friends this year... he is such a sweet boy.

I continue to do my thinking as I am laying in bed. Until I am snapped out of my thoughts by the sound of the door of my dorm being closed.

Demi.

I think to myself as I finally get up to get ready for my first class at 9.

She's my roommate. Since we are freshman we had to move into our dorms 3 days before the first day of classes. It's been pretty awkward, I hardly even saw her in the last 72 hours. When I first got here she had already been in the room, she had picked her side and set everything up. I didn't officially meet her until that night right before bed. Even then we both just looked at each other for a moment and said 'hello' before retreating to our beds without another word being said.

Shit

I mentally curse myself.

I've been here 3 whole days and I didn't bother to actually try and find the building I need to be in. Way to go Emily...

I stop and reach into my bag pulling out a map I got on the first day.

Now let's see... The Mitchell Building should be to my left.

I start walking again and I'm looking to my left.

Or... maybe it's to my-

Thud!

I fall backwards onto my butt with my bag flying into the grass next to me. I rub my bottom as the other person picks up my books and hands them to me.

"I am so sorry! Sometimes I get so spaced out when I'm walking." He gave me a sheepish smile.

"It's cool." I say.

"It was partially my fault too. I don't really know where I'm going and I wasn't paying attention."

He raised up his finger. "I have an idea."

I look at him with curiosity. "Yeah?"

"Since I did knock you to the ground. I will help you find your way to your class. How does that sound?" He smiled at me.

I thought about it for a moment. Trying to ponder if I could actually find my way on my own in time before I'm late to class. I ended up deciding on taking his offer.

"Sounds perfect, thanks so much." He gave me a quick smile before he took the paper that said where the building was.

"Ah, The science building," He says looking around at the surroundings. "You know, we aren't too far from there... but you were heading the wrong direction." He chuckles at my mistake.

"Dang it." I complain. "Well good thing I have you to show me where to go."

After this we walk in a comfortable silence. Once we arrive to the front steps I turn and look at him.

"Thank you for escorting me..." I paused remembering I never got a chance to ask his name.

"Nick." He says and he flashes another smile at me. "And it was a pleasure, Emily."

I gave him an odd look. "How did you know my name?"

He makes a small gesture pointing to what's in my arms. "It's on your notebook." He lets out a little laugh and I do as well.

I turn to walk away when he grabs my arm gently.

"Hey do you know many people here yet?" He asks.

My cheeks get a little red from embarrassment, in a quiet voice I answer "Not really...just my roommate to be honest."

He looks at me with kind eyes. "Hey, no need to be embarrassed. How about I introduce you to some people at lunch? We can both meet back here at noon and I'll take you over to my apartment. What do you say?"

I was flattered that he was being so kind to me. But, I didn't want him to just be doing it out of pity.

"You don't have too." I say finally.

He puts a hand on my shoulder.

"I want too. It will be fun." He gave me another smile and looks down at his watch.

"Hey, it's almost 9. I don't want you being late after getting you here right on time. I'll see you at noon okay? Bye!" I smile as he waves to me as he walks away. When he turned the corner and I could no longer see him. I make my way into the large building and down the hall to my lecture hall. I make my way towards the front to I'm sure I will be able to hear and pay attention. I sit down at my seat just as the clock strikes 9. My first class in college... has just begun.

So guys! What did you think? I promise they will get longer. There is much more to come and this is just the beginning! I really hope you all liked it. Please Rate and Review that would mean sooo much! Alright until next time! :D
