Hello! This is a new AU I'm very excited for. This will be a side project to keep me writing. I will have more information on this story, and my other ones after this chapter.
XxXxXxXxX
Annabeth stared at herself in the mirror, taking a few deep breaths. Forcing a smile onto her face, Annabeth tried to mask her nerves. She had already gone through an entire week of training, and after two years in this dorm she practically felt at home here. Surely becoming an RA in charge of a floor wouldn't be that difficult, right?
On the bright side, being an RA meant that she got to move in a week early for training, and she could avoid these few days of chaos as students started filtering in one at a time. They were down to their last day of move ins, so after another long, hot day of meet and greets, she could finally relax and settle into her normal duties and prepare for another long school year.
A brief snippet of Taylor Swift playing as an alarm told Annabeth it was time to leave, so she quickly silenced her guilty pleasure before making her way to the lobby to head outside.
It was still criminally early in the morning, so no one had arrived yet thankfully. A long row of tables were set up for students to check in, get their room keys and swag before they started to move in. Saying hello to the odd student or two she saw who had moved in one of the two days prior, Annabeth made her way to the table to help finish setting up.
A chipper girl with a black undercut and far too cheery of a smile for the time of day was already laying out the folders of student names as she hummed a tune to herself.
Smiling despite herself, Annabeth moved over and helped set out another stack of folders. "You're way too awake for this hour." Annabeth critique as she bumped hips with the girl.
In return the girl just stuck her tongue out. "Not my fault I actually like to get up in the morning. You get to see the sun rise, people wake up, and the world slowly come to life. It's awesome!" She offered.
"Or you just have a screw loose." Another voice interrupted. Annabeth suddenly saw a cup of something warm being thrust in front of her as she grabbed it thankfully. The smell of coffee warmed her very core and she was suddenly extremely thankful for the other girl. "You're an angel, Reyna."
Rolling her eyes, Reyna just started assisting as well, ignoring the pouty face from the pixie girl. "What, no coffee for me?"
"If you had any caffeine in you you'd scare off all the new students."
Ashe pouted, but didn't offer up an argument. A moment later though a blonde walked up and handed her a cup as well. "Hot chocolate should be fine though." A familiar voice sounded. Glancing over, Annabeth saw the final RA of their dorm finally decided to join them. Judging by the look of him though, Jason wasn't exactly a morning person either.
Ashe sent him an award winning smile before she took a sip of it, sighing happily, and going back to work.
With all four of them, the work was moving pretty quickly now. Which was good, considering students were starting to filter in with their parents.
"Show time." Reyna mumbled as she turned to face them, a bright smile being plastered on her face.
Annabeth also turned to face the crowd that was now forming as she began to help them find their folders, get their keys, and sort them off into groups to be shown into the building before they started moving.
Luckily it was still pretty early so there weren't too many of them yet. Thankfully Annabeth saw some of the other volunteers show up right about then as well. They took over for the RA's, starting to sort out the new students.
Nodding to the other RA's, Annabeth nodded and moved back towards the growing crowd of students. She didn't exactly want to try and herd them, and judging by Reyna's expression, she wasn't exactly in the mood to do it either. On the bright side though, one of their group just so happened to be a ball of sunshine even during unnaturally early mornings.
"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE!" Ashe's voice cut through the morning air, maybe a notch too loud. She seemed to understand that as she winced, having seen a few people jump at the sudden outburst. A tad quieter, she continued. "We'll start the first round of tours now and show you to your rooms. Floor 1! You're with the blonde guy, Jason. Group up on him. Floor 2, you're with Reyna." Reyna raised her hand to show them. "Gather around her. Floor 3! You're with Annabeth."
Annabeth raised her hand this time, keeping a bright smile and waving it slightly. This was their first real impression of the dorms, she had to make sure it was a good one. A few of the students started to gather around her and she took a few steps back to make sure they had plenty of space.
"Floor 4! You're the winners and you're with me. Gather around me then we'll go to the best floor."
She called out, earning a laugh or two as she stuck her tongue out at Annabeth. Rolling her eyes, Annabeth had to admit having someone like Ashe on the team did make these normally boring tasks just a little more bearable.
"All right! Floor 1. Let's go! If you're still signing in, don't worry we'll have plenty more tours coming up." Jason's voice now cut through the crowd, as he gestured and started leading his group into the dorms.
Reyna followed not long after, and feeling like it was a good grace period, Annabeth motioned towards her group. "All right! Follow me. I'll give you a quick tour and show you to your rooms." Annabeth said as she started herding her group towards the entrance. After explaining how you used your fob as an electronic key to open the doors in the dorm, Annabeth ushered them inside. The actual interior of the dorm was rather spacious. There was a large common room that went up two floors, with hallways branching out on either side, and a stair case that lead to a balcony above them that held the second floor rooms.
"As you can see, this is our first common area. Either of those hallways lead to the rooms on the first floor. That big stair case will lead you up to the second floor."
Moving over slightly, she pointed and two doors across from each other. "This door leads to the laundry room. There's one on each floor. Do not forget your laundry. We're not responsible for what people do to clothes left in the washer or dryer for too long. If you're lucky it'll just end up in a pile on it." She warned, before smiling again. "The other side leads to the staircase that goes up all four floors. Be careful opening and closing that door, there's a room right on the other side of the wall on each floor so be considerate."
Moving back across the lobby, she pointed at the other room. "One side is the trash/recycling room that is on every floor as well. The other door is to a media room. Big screen is first come first serve there, and there's one on the first and third floor. If you need to reserve the room for whatever reason, talk to the housing office here on the first floor, or in the other dorm. They can set you up with a reservation that will be enforced."
"Now follow me." She offered once people were done commenting on the media room and already making plans. Leading up the large staircase that lead to the second floor, she pointed at the study room that was on the other side of double doors the divided the hallway. "This is one of three group study rooms. This one, and the one on the fourth floor are a little smaller than the main on the third floor. Now then..."
She said, moving the group along towards the elevator. "As you can guess, this is the elevator. Please don't spill food in here, it makes it stink for ages." Pressing the button to move to the third floor, she leaned against the wall and scanned the crowd. No familiar faces, she figured most of them were first or second years, while she was a junior herself. One face did catch her attention though. A tall guy with deep sea green eyes, and a goofy smile on his face. Annabeth's stomach did a turn, and she realized he was actually really attractive. The fact he was on her tour meant he lived on the third floor too, which was... nice. Taking in more of his appearance, she also realized he was currently chatting with another girl. She had tanner skin, and a feather was braided into her hair. They were chatting back and forth way too easily for two people who just met, so Annabeth figured they must have already been friends. That was also...interesting.
Before she could mull over it any more, the elevator dinged and the doors opened up to the third floor lobby.
"As you can see, the third and fourth floors are pretty much just duplicates of the first two. Except there's less foot traffic since the entrance isn't here, and instead we have the main study room." Annabeth said with a sweeping gesture towards the large room separated from them by a wall of glass and double doors. Inside were two booths, with windows looking out to the courtyard, then the walls were lined with a counter you could sit and study at.
"Fair warning, it gets kinda hot in there, especially during the spring and when there's a bunch of body heat." Annabeth offered, having already spent most of her two years in that room working diligently.
Sensing they were about reaching their limits with the the tour, Annabeth decided to wrap things up.
Pointing towards the massive TV mounted on the wall, that had a table and three couches facing it she nodded. "This is the third floor common room, a lot of people chill out here. The TV is also first come first serve usually. Be polite, try not to use it for too long if it looks like other people want to watch something. Though for you night owls, after quiet hours people tend be either studying or in their rooms so that's a good chance for movie night or game night." Annabeth offered with a shrug.
Once again, people started forming plans of what could be a fun night.
Moving to one of the hallways branching off form the lobby, she opened the door with a fob. "These are the room hallways. Most rooms are segregated by gender, but not all. We're adults now, so there aren't exactly rules about being in other rooms over night and such, but be respectful to your dorm mates, and obey quiet hours. We RA's do do rounds to make sure no one is too loud, and it's our job to be killjoys if we need to. Now then, everyone check out your room, greet your roommates if they're there, and get ready to move in!" Annabeth offered, released the excited crowd of students and a few parents as they quickly rushed up and down the hallways to find their numbers.
Moving back to the lobby, Annabeth loitered around for a few moments to wait to see if anyone had any questions. A shy girl asked where her room was, and Annabeth patiently directed her to the other hallway and waited around a bit. A few parents had questions for her as an RA, wondering about under age drinking, explicit activities, danger the like. They seemed satisfied with Annabeth's by the book answers, and Annabeth didn't exactly blame them. It was a scary thing to have your kid going off to live on their own, usually for the first time. While every RA certainly had different levels of hardass, with Reyna being the strictest and Ashe probably being the most lenient, they all were extremely concerned with the safety of the students and did take their job seriously. Luckily that seemed to be conveyed, and before long Annabeth was making her way back to the first floor. Seeing a large group of students waiting, Annabeth sighed and figured she should speed up her tour a bit to avoid back logs of people.
On the bright side, returning student's didn't bother with the tour so it wasn't as bad as it could have been, especially since their dorm wasn't usually inhabited by freshmen.
Annabeth had very quickly lost track of how many tours she had actually given, and the morning had been a blur aside from the brief moment that Ashe had pulled her aside to shove a muffin and more coffee into her hand, telling her that one of the other volunteers could do a tour or two.
Sitting on the bench outside next to the bubbly girl, Annabeth used it as a chance to catch her breath. Ashe was in the middle of happily recounting some of the cool facts she had already learned about people on her floor. Honestly, Annabeth was impressed by Ashe's people skill. While Annabeth wasn't bad with people really, Ashe really was something else. People were just drawn to her. Glancing over, Annabeth just watched the girl's eyes light up as she continued her story, a genuine smile on her face. No matter how busy they had been, Ashe looked like she was just playing around even with the pressure.
A few moments later they saw Jason and Reyna approaching them with some snacks. Reyna leaned next to them while Jason scooted Ashe down the bench to plop down himself.
"We have a lot of athletes on my floor." Jason offered with a yawn.
"Says the Lacrosse player." Reyna countered. "I'm pretty sure my floor is mostly made up of honor students."
They all turned to look at Annabeth expectantly.
Thinking for a moment while she fiddled with the muffin wrapper, she tried to remember everything she had heard them say. "I think..."
He mind kept flashing back to that boy she saw chatting with the feathered girl.
"I think my floor is going to be fun."
Reyna raised an eyebrow, while Jason nodded. Ashe just seemed jealous.
She opened her mouth to say something before she paused, suddenly staring past Annabeth. "Hey..."
The rest of their heads turned to follow her gaze.
Farther down there was a boy walking down the path with two older girls, carrying what must have been a heavy, long box. Except one of them had stepped away, and was currently surrounded by a crowd of people who were offering a notebook, as if for an autograph. The girl seemed surprised, but took the pad of paper and started signing. A second later the group seemed to noticed the other girl, and swarmed her, forcing her to take a step back before she started signing as well. This left the boy to struggle down the path with a box that was clearly too much for him.
Annabeth set down her muffin. "Who are they? We sho-" Before she could continue, she saw Ashe already bolting down the road to give him a hand. Jason was only a few moments behind her, and Reyna just looked after them, before shrugging, and stealing Jason's spot on the bench.
The pair reached the boy who had only managed to struggle a few steps. Ashe said something in the distance, and the boy paused, before nodding. Soon the three of them were approaching the building.
Jason had a simple smile on his face, while Ashe was grinning like a little kid. "It's a piano!" She answered Annabeth's unspoken question about the box. "I told you I have the coolest floor. It's a keyboard." She continued as she lead them inside towards the elevator.
As they boy walked past, Annabeth could see a embarrassed small smile on his face. His gaze flicked over to the two girls who were still being swarmed by students. Just who were they that they had fans? Annabeth didn't recognize them.
Reyna stood up, crumpling her garbage. "That's probably long enough of a break. They're started to back up again."
Nodding, Annabeth felt a new sense of vigor as she started another tour, trying to be a little more engaging and interactive this time. She didn't want to fall behind the rest of the RA's, as she felt her competitive side getting stoked.
After another tour, Annabeth saw a stack of totes being carried by someone, and the feathered girl from before following behind. She realized a second too late, and her warning didn't make it. "Watch ou-"
The boy's foot caught on the edge of the pavement, and he crashed hard, dropping the three totes he had been carefully balancing. Annabeth was over there in seconds, hoping no one had gotten hurt.
"Percy!" The girl's voice called out, a mix between amusement and concern.
"I'm fine Piper." He brushed off, a small laugh in his own voice.
"Are you okay?" Annabeth offered, grabbing one of the totes and carrying it.
The guy, this "Percy" Turned, and looked at her before flashing her a sheepish smile. "Oh, hey RA... Annabeth." He said, after reading her name tag. "Uh... thank you."
The girl just shrugged. "He's a skater. He's taken nastier spills than that. I'd be more worried about that concrete than his skull in a collision." She offered, setting down her own tote to shake Annabeth's hand. "You're our RA, right? I'm Piper. Nice to meet cha."
Annabeth shook her hand, grinning. "Nice to meet both of you. Come on, I'll help you out." Annabeth offered as they continued up the stairs.
Percy just flashed her a brilliant smile in thanks, and if Annabeth's cheeks flushed slightly, she'd never admit it.
A minute later and they found themselves at one of the doors in her hallway. Percy knocked on the door with his foot, and the door opened up to reveal a woman. It was hard for Annabeth to describe her age, she was one of those mothers that just seemed to always look like the same, caring mom. She stepped aside, letting the trio in as she held the door open.
"Thanks mom." Percy offered as he passed.
They all set down their totes and turned towards the woman who had been in the process of unloading a bag of groceries and setting up the place with basic necessities. Annabeth offered her hand out of instinct. "Nice to meet you, I'm Annabeth Chase. I'm the RA for this floor.
The woman returned the shake, beaming. "Sally Jackson. So you'll be in charge of Percy this year, thank you for looking out for him." She offered, a playful smirk on her face. "He can be a bit of a handful so please excuse him."
Percy groaned in an affectionate way from somewhere behind her. "Come on, mom. Don't get me in trouble before the year even starts."
The three girls in the room laughed and Annabeth had a feeling Percy would be fun to hang around. Even if it was just the first day, there wasn't the awkward heavy air she had found herself surrounded by in some other dorms when talking to parents. Casting a curious glance over at Piper, she raised her eyebrow as she tried to figure out a polite way to word her question.
As if reading her mind, Piper shook her head. "Nah, we're just childhood friends, not siblings. My dad is busy with a film, so Sally offered to take me up here as well."
Annabeth nodded, some things making a little more sense. Percy definitely looked like his mom, but Piper understandably had no apparent relation.
"That's the last of my boxes." Percy said, glancing around the room. "Let's get yours pipes."
Sally nodded, setting the bag aside as she began to follow Percy and Piper out of the room.
"Do you still need help?" Annabeth asked as she made sure to close the door behind her.
Piper shook her head. "You've been scrambling around all morning, we're good. We can catch up later, I'm sure we'll see plenty of each other." Piper offered with a smile as she stepped into the elevator.
Waving goodbye, Annabeth took a few steps back towards one of the couches and collapsed onto it. Checking her phone, she noticed lunch had started being server a little less than an hour ago. Time was just flying by today. Sending out a quick message to the RA group chat, all of them mentioned being hungry. It seemed they were starting out the year on the same track at least. They agreed to meet up on the third floor, so Annabeth let her muscles relax for a moment. A student or two had stopped to ask her how to get to the food court, and Annabeth was quick to offer them directions. Before long, Ashe bounded down the stairs, still alarmingly bubbly as she plopped onto the couch next to her. "I'm starving." She offered helpfully.
Nodding, Annabeth let out a yawn. "Same. Reyna and Jason should be here in a few." They sat in a comfortable silence for a moment before a thought crossed her mind. "That boy with the piano, did everything get squared away?"
Ashe nodded, her usual pixie like grin being replace with a softer one that definitely piqued Annabeth's interest. "Tyler? Yeah, it's an amazing keyboard, you should see it sometime. He promised to let me hear him play sometime. Apparently he's in the music program here."
Annabeth quirked an eyebrow as a grin crossed her face. "Oh? You seem happy about that. Making a new friend?" She teased.
Ashe's face just flushed a little red. "No! He just seems... cool, you know?" She defended herself, looking away. "Even if he is a little cute." She muttered in a voice almost too quiet for Annabeth to catch. Before Annabeth could press her friend even further, the elevator dinged and Reyna and Jason emerged. "Ready?" Reyna asked with a yawn.
Annabeth nodded, but Ashe had already bounded towards the elevator, clearly glad for the escape. She shot Annabeth a sharp glare warning her not to say anything. Laughing, Annabeth just raised her hands in resignment and joined them. Before long they found themselves in the massive cafeteria. There were a number of stations that offered a variety of selections like a grill, salad bar, rice and meat, pizza, the like.
Having decided to just stick with a simple sandwich today, Annabeth took her seat next to Reyna as she began to finally fill her needy stomach. "So how'd your tours go?"
Holding up a finger to tell her to wait, Reyna finished another bite of her burger she was devouring. "Pretty good. Most of my floor seems pretty cool. I doubt I'll have a lot of problems this year. A lot of younger students."
"I'm in the same boat." Jason suddenly chimed in as he took his seat. "A lot of first and second years, and most of them are athletes."
"That's rough. Good luck with your calls." Annabeth offered sympathetically.
Jason pouted. "Please, you're just biased. Athletes are fine, just because you don't like sports doesn't mean we're bad people."
Rolling her eyes, Annabeth shrugged. "I don't exactly mind sports. They just aren't my thing. And come on, last year our football team triggered the fire alarm twice, and broke a window."
"Anecdotal evidence at best." Jason countered.
Reyna looked impressed. "Someone studied over summer."
Jason scoffed and nudged Reyna's foot under the table. "Don't be rude." He said, not unkindly.
Annabeth didn't notice the small fond look Reyna got, even Jason was missing it.
A minute of banter later and Ashe joined them, setting down two plates of food. "It seems like the food isn't much better this year than last years. Shame." She muttered, still digging in already.
Reyna just shrugged. "You're just all snobby about food. Not all of us are in the culinary program."
Sticking her tongue out, Ashe took another bite. "Fine, be that way. I don't need to cook for you this year then."
Reyna looked stricken as she bowed her head. "I apologize for my foolishness, please cook for me again."
Everyone laughed, and Ashe just seemed pleased. "Apology accepted."
Annabeth leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand. "I think I know someone Ashe wants to cook f-" She yelped as a foot collided with her shin, hard. Reaching below the table and rubbing her poor leg, Annabeth shot a glare at her friend who was still smiling innocently with a mock expression of concern as if she hadn't just attempted to break her leg.
Jason was clearly about to press the matter but Annabeth shook her head dismissively before she could end up in any more pain.
Glancing around, Annabeth saw pretty much what she expected. Most of the students were dining with their parents and families. In one booth on the end she saw Sally eating with Percy and Piper, and they seemed to be having a good time from the looks of it. Following Ashe's line of sight, she found the boy, Tyler, from earlier eating with his parents and his two sisters by Annabeth's guess. Annabeth had to admit that the autograph session earlier still had her incredibly curious, but she wasn't exactly going to press an issue like that at the start of the school year, she was supposed to be his RA, not a snooper. Besides, she had a feeling Ashe would learn all about the boy soon enough, and she could learn from her later.
Lunch ended almost too quickly, and the rest of Annabeth's night was mostly filled with some paperwork and meetings. Now that they were about to actually start their jobs, that meant there were some more boring and redundant meetings to go through for training and what to expect for the first half week before classes started that were full of orientation activities.
By the time she got back to the dorms, it was already pretty late. A lot of the students were out for one last dinner before the parents left if they were still around.
Jason had the first night shift for being responsible for phone calls, so Annabeth could take it easy thankfully. Making her way to the third floor lobby, Annabeth figured she should at least be around for a bit for any questions students inevitably had.
The TV was already occupied from some returning students who knew how things worked and were currently watching Frozen of all things. So, settling into one of the chairs at the small tables in the back Annabeth pulled out some of her notebooks and decided to do a little organizing before classes started next week. She figured it wouldn't hurt to get a head start considering how busy her life was going to be combining classes with the duties of being an RA. She was stopped by the occasional new student who nervously asked her some basic questions, like how exactly the washers worked, what the RA number was, if it was okay to go to her with any problems and questions and the like. Annabeth did her best to reassure them that the questions were perfectly fine the ask her, and that her door was always open if they needed to talk to her, and that it was her job to deal with stuff and they shouldn't be afraid to ask her. Especially the new students, Annabeth did actually care about helping them feel at home and safe. This wasn't just a resume buffer to her.
Before long Ashe had also popped downstairs to join her. She had claimed the seat next to her, and was softly humming along to the songs as they played during the movie, in a surprisingly in key pitch. In vain, Annabeth had suggested Ashe also get a head start on studying and preparation, but Ashe shrugged and said "that was a problem for future me." Rolling her eyes, Annabeth could tell her friend hadn't exactly learned a lesson from the past year. That meant probably another year of occasional crash courses and late night study sessions.
Percy and Piper showed up rather late that night with a teary-eyed Sally as they stopped by his room. It wasn't difficult to tell that his mom and himself were close, and she had a feeling it would be the first time Percy was away from her. Her heart broke for the mom, but her day had been filled with bittersweet moments like that. Sally had stopped by on her way out, still dabbing some tears out of her eye.
"Thank you again looking out for Percy this year. I know he's grown up, and he'll be fine. But I'm glad his RA seems to be someone responsible like you."
Annabeth just nodded. "No worries, I'm sure he'll love it here and he'll thrive. Don't worry, I'll make sure he calls you."
Sally just laughed, but the briefest expression of relief crossed her face. "I'm not too worried about that, I think he'll be good about it but if you keep him in line it'll be a miracle." She teased. "Well I should get back to the hotel now, but thank you again."
Annabeth waved goodbye to the kind mother and settled back into her chair.
"She seems nice." Ashe remarked idly, a small smile on her face.
The door leading to the hallways upstairs opened, and a chorus of voices sounded out. Glancing up, Annabeth saw that boy from earlier, Tyler, leaving with his family. They seemed to spot Ashe, and the family made their way over to her.
Tyler stayed off to the side, near the elevator as he was clearly embarrassed.
His dad was next to him, and they were chatting, and despite Tyler's clear hesitation, they were laughing.
Annabeth saw a tall woman shake Ashe's hand, and two girls slightly older than herself by her guess both shook Ashe's hand again. "Thank you again for taking care of my brother." The first one said fondly.
"I'm sorry for any trouble we cause him." The other one offered in a kind of sad tone.
The mother just rested a hand on each of their shoulders. "Ty will be fine."
Ashe just nodded and glanced over at the boy briefly. "Don't worry, he'll fit right in I'm sure. I'll make sure he calls you regularly too."
The mom laughed. "If you can manage that you're officially the best RA ever."
Ashe saluted. "Leave it to me!"
They all said their goodbyes, and Tyler walked them down to the exit.
Once the elevator closed, Annabeth cast a glance over at Annabeth. "Why did they say they'd cause trouble for him?"
Ashe opened her mouth to respond, before she glanced around. "I'll explain later." She offered in a surprisingly serious tone, once again causing Annabeth to be super curious. Still, trusting her friend's judgment she let the subject drop.
Not long after the elevator on the fourth floor dinged, and looking up Annabeth and Ashe could see Tyler walking back alone, his head kinda hanging low. Annabeth felt her heart sink a bit unfortunately. It was clear he was sad. Glancing over, Annabeth could see Ashe's emotions clearly on her face. She looked like she wanted to go up there and hug the boy. It seemed like she was already invested in him, but Annabeth wasn't exactly surprised by that. Out of all the RA's of this dorm, Ashe was readily the most empathetic.
Still, a moment later the door closed and Tyler must have slunk back off to his room. Ashe looked over to her, and Annabeth shook her head. From their brief interactions, Annabeth could tell he was like herself, and prideful. She doubted the thing he wanted right now was some RA fussing over him.
Ashe just nodded and slunk back into her seat, clearly pouting a bit. Before long though, everyone was yawning and the busy day was starting to weigh on them. Ashe said goodnight first, and soon Annabeth was also calling it a night. Slinking back to her room, a special room for RA's that was a single person room instead of the four person suites the rest stayed in, Annabeth called it night.
It was only the first day, but there had already been a few new people Annabeth was excited to meet.
Thoughts of Percy drifted through her head, and Annabeth had a gut feeling that her junior year was going to be a fun one.
XxXxXxXxX
Thank you for reading! I've had this AU idea for a while, and I'm super excited about it. I've been trying to finish this chapter for days, and I finish finished. The rest of the main 7 will show up soon, and will be main characters. Other characters will definitely make a cameo at least. Each chapter will switch between Percy and Annabeth's POV.
I personally had a wonderful time in college, even with all the stress it brought, so I kinda wanted to write this to show that college isn't always a bad or scary place that it can be made out to be. So this story will mostly be fun, and will heavily draw from my personal experience of a liberal arts college in America.
Let me know what you think of this story so far! :D
For those who follow my Cafe Half-Caff story, I still will be updating that regularly. My motivation is just hitting a low point for that story, so I'm balancing it out by having this project to toy around with too. I know many of you would like more regular updates, but I write purely for fun and enjoyment, so when I'm not in the mood I don't really write much, or if I get busy. I'll try to keep updates for both of these stories semi consistent, but I just follow my inspiration.
