1. Preface

Preface

I felt people staring as I waved goodbye to the familiar family Ford even when it was out of sight. I felt fresh salty drops fall from my eyes onto my already tear stained cheeks. I felt alone.

I turned to look at my new home, Meryton University. It was big. Too big. And the thought of spending four years on this big campus with my family over a hundred miles away made the tears come faster and the number of onlookers increase.

Suck it up, Lizzie.

I wanted this, a chance to break free from the warm bosom that is the Bennet family nest, a nest that very easily traps you, if you let it. And that is not what I wanted.

I wiped my tears, straightened up and walked through the green campus quad, head held high despite the judgmental stares.

College is a time for endless possibilities and I am more than ready.
