This is my first fanfic. Please review. I know my grammar isn't the best and I forget words sometimes but this is so I can do something I enjoy but also improve my writing. Thanks and I hope you enjoy.
It was the end; the end of the life I had once known and the start of a life I was a little afraid of. I was trying to finish all my packing for college. I thought I was done two days ago, before I had said goodbye to my friends, before I decided to pack all the books I was sure I wouldn't need but had to take anyway. I was taping up my last box when Jane bounced into our room. My oldest sister has always been called the beauty of the family. She has long wavy blonde hair that doesn't get frizzy in the humidity and deep blue eyes. She was absolutely gorgeous and today was no exception. "Hey Lizzie, you finished yet?" She asked.
"Um, I think this is the last one. You nervous?"
"Of course I'm nervous! I took a year off to spend with family and friends so we would be freshmen in college together. So we could experience college together and so college would be easier on us but I'm still really nervous about leaving home for the first time. You?"
"Oh, I'm definitely nervous! I'm kind of ready for some quiet though. No Kitty and Lydia chatting, ha well arguing about guys and no Mary playing the piano all the time. I'm a little afraid it's going to be too quiet honestly." I said.
"Too quiet?" Jane asked. "Are you serious? College students away from their parents for a full school year? I think it's a good thing you can study with a bunch of noise because I'm pretty sure the dorms will be anything but quiet."
"Well, I guess we'll see in a couple of hours." I said grabbing my last box and heading down the stairs and out to my truck. Our parents bought us each new, or rather new to us, cars for a going away present. They thought it would make it easier to come home on weekends if we wanted. Before I got into my red Ford F150 and before Jane got into her white Honda Civic we said goodbye to our sisters and hugged our parents. Our mother was always the type of woman who would worry for no reason so I was prepared for all the questions. "Do you guys have everything you need? Your ids? Your cell phones? Your cell phone chargers? Keys? Laptop? Your..." Our dad cut her off before she could finish her list of questions.
"I'm sure they have everything they need my dear. It's time to let them go." He said to her. He turned towards us and said "Make sure you call us when you get settled in, we want to know you made it safely." We hugged our parents one last time and got into our vehicles. We started our two hour drive to The Ohio State University. As I pulled onto the highway I said to myself "Here we come OSU, I hope I'm ready for you!."
