Chapter 1- The beginning

SPOV

"I got the scholarship to the University of Utah!" I announced at dinner.

"Congrats, Sam." Everyone tells me. As I was getting ready to go clean my plate I notice there was something mom wanted to ask me. "Mom, is there something bothering you?" I asked her. "Well I was just wondering how much your scholarship is for because I want to help you out as much as I can but I don't have much money to spare. I want you to be able to finish college but I can't pay for it by myself and you don't have a job yet." My mom finally says. "It's okay mom, it is a full ride scholarship." I let her know.

"Are you sure? I can help out a little." She says to me.

"There is one thing, I want to live on campus but the scholarship won't cover for me to find housing so would you mind helping me out with paying for that?" I ask her.

"Sam, I would love to pay for housing just as long as you can find someone to help you pay rent."

"Thank you, mom," I tell her as I give her the biggest hug ever.

It has been two months since I moved into my new dorm and I have the best roommate anyone could have. Her name is Jennifer Grace, she is 19 but we could be twins if we were related. Jennifer walked into my room to see what I want to get for dinner tonight. "What you don't want to eat at my moms house tonight?" I say laughing a little. "No it's not that we just spend everyday there and I want to invite Mia here to hang out for awhile, if that's okay with you.." She admits to me. "I think that is a great idea, I am kind of tired of driving back and forth every single night." I agreed. So we called up Mia and asked her to stop by and pick up some food on her way up to our dorm. When she finally showed up she had Panda Express in one hand and Eclipse in the other. "How did you get that? It hasn't come out yet has it?" I start to panic as I ask her. "It came out today. God Sam you really think I would steal Eclipse just to watch it here with you guys?" She stated. "Yes I really do." I say. "You're right but it really did come out today." She giggled. As we put on the movie we notice there is a special interview with each cast member in special features, we get to Jackson Rathbone's and I about lose it because he is like my dream guy. I have every 100 monkeys CD that has ever been released, I loved 100 monkeys before I knew he was the lead singer, and I own every movie he has been in. Jennifer seems to think it is really funny for some weird reason.

As the movie was getting started Jennifer's phone started to ring, I went to answer it like I usually did but I didn't recognize the number so I handed it off to her. "Oh yay it's my brother, I'm going to take this outside." She practically screamed. "Say hello for me, I know he doesn't know me but he will eventually so he better get use to me now." I stated and she laughed at me as she flipped her phone open and said hello. I was really getting into the movie when Jennifer came back in all hyped up about something but I wasn't about to ask what she was so excited about because Jasper was coming on the screen again. As soon as Jasper was on the screen I was engrossed with the movie.

"Sam, Sam, earth to Sam." Jennifer was waving her hand in front of my face trying to get my attention. "Oh I'm so sorry, Jennifer, I must have been paying really close attention to the movie I didn't hear anything you just said. Do you think you can repeat what you just said?" I asked very embarrassed with myself. "Sam you are so silly sometimes. You know he is not all that great right?" She laughed at me again. "I was saying that my family is all getting together for Christmas and they said they are going to fly me home for the holidays." She started getting excited again. "So you wont be spending Christmas with my family? I am going to miss you so much. Good thing it is a couple months away." I said sounding sad.

"Sam since I am spending Thanksgiving with my second family, I was hoping you would grace my family with your wonderful presence?" She asked. I practically tackled her when I jumped out of my chair. I was so excited I couldn't answer so I just nodded incessantly. "Mia do you want to come too?" Jennifer asked. "No, I cant I am spending the holiday with my boyfriend and his family. Sorry!" Mia said confidently. "What?" I said to Mia. "Since when do you have a boyfriend? And how did I not know about him?" I said very surprised. "You are so stupid, Sam. You know who he is, its Jack, he was in marching band with us, he plays trumpet." She commented to me like I was mentally handicapped. After our little discussion we all decided it was getting pretty late so Mia went home and we went to bed.

The next morning I woke up to the sun shinning brightly in my window, weird the sun is so bright for being so early. I look at my clock and it said 8:00 am, holy cow its so early for it being the weekend, what is wrong with me? I walked out to the kitchen so I can get some water but I decided to make some German waffles, they sound absolutely delightful. After all the waffles were done and ready Jennifer showed up in the doorway, Ha ha, nice pajamas, she was wearing white knee socks, bright purple shorts with a yellow and white polka dot tank top. "Ha ha, nice pajamas Jennifer." I accidentally let slip. "Thank you, Sam. Same to you." She retorted with a giggle. I was wearing white knee socks, black shorts with Vampire written across the butt and a white tank top with a black zip up sweater that has Jasper written across the bust in Sparkly lettering.

After we finished breakfast we decided it would be fun to go shopping for our Halloween costumes. So we got dressed in nice shopping clothes, which consisted of jeans, cap sleeve t-shirts and tennis shoes. And we were off to the first store, Spirit costumes. As we entered we saw so many costumes we couldn't decide were to start scary, funny, sexual cartoon, real life, sexy… We started in the kids section because we thought it would be fun. But we quickly moved to the funny and we tried on a few things but nothing was the right thing so we moved on to the next store. We didn't find anything at all 12 stores we went to, but finally at the last Halloween store in town we found what we were looking for. After we bought our costumes we went to get our nails done and get the rest of the stuff for the fabulous costumes we got.
