Chapter 1
It was finally move in day. I can finally put behind all the fucked up shit that was high school. I made sure I put on all of my bracelets and my watch, even how girly it made me look.
Mom, Paul, and Tyson moved in all my stuff, cried for a bit, and I sent them off on their way. As much as I loved them, this was a horse I had to take care of myself. I needed to make something of myself, I didn't want to be defined by my past mistakes. It was time to move on.
My roommate, Jason, seems like an interesting guy. He's from a different world than I am. He likes politics, I like marine biology, he's into sky diving, I like running by the beach. He seems to live in a world where everything is right, and happy. I don't.
The first day went fairly smoothly, until I found out who was living on my floor. I was walking down the hallway the first night, and then I saw….him.
Lester was just some standard douchebag from my high school. He played guitar, was captain of the lacrosse team, and even had a man bun. Sophomore he set his sights on the love of my life: Meg.
She was my best friend all throughout high school. I met her when we were freshmen, and she stole my heart. We hit it off from our first swim practice, and then after that we had this instant connection. The only problem was that she only saw me as a friend. And then she met Lester when they were sophomores. He proceeded to stalk her for the next 3 years. Then when we were all seniors, they got together.
And now this son of a bitch is living three doors down from me.
We saw each other in the hall way, and for a second it was like that double spider-man meme, we didn't know what to do. He gave me a simple "sup," I responded with a simple "hey." Then I went to my room and screamed into a pillow. This is going to be a long semester.
The next day I so hopped things were going to start turning up for me. They didn't. I went to the dining hall to find that it was closed, but thankfully there were two girls who also didn't get the memo and decided to hang out with me. They introduced themselves as Bianca and Hazel and we walked around for a bit, trying to find our classes. When the dining hall finally opened we sat and ate breakfast together with their brother Nico. Then I felt my introvertedness taking over and had to leave.
I stayed in my room most of the day, around 5 I went to a tour to find my classes. Of course I ran into Hazel and Bianca, we ended up hanging out afterward. They asked me why I left breakfast so abruptly, and I made up the excuse that "my roommate needed help with setting up his Xbox." That was the end of it.
Shit hit the fan as soon as I got back to my dorm.
Almost as if my life was a crappy sit-com, I walk straight into Meg and Lester walking down the stairs.
