Chapter One:
August 25, 2007
The cab pulled up at the Dormitory buildings. "Mmhmm..just perfect, I get stuck at this damn castle-wannabe of a building".
I turned to the cab driver and gave him money for the ride, $15.00, and a ten buck tip. The driver just nodded, and popped the trunk open. I got out and went around to the back, grabbed my bags, and closed it back up. I waved to the driver to let him know I had everything. I stood there and watched the cab peel away. I stood there thinking about my life back in Alabama. I already missed my friends. I felt something icy cold touch my nose.
I looked up. Raining...great I thought to myself. I picked up my bags, and walked across the road to the building. I stumbled up the old grey stone stairs, just as I made it to the top stair, I felt like someone was watching me. Chills ran down my spine.
I looked around, up at the building..nothing moved. I checked behind me..nothing 'weird.. ' I thought to myself. I took one last glance of my surroundings. Then walked.
As I opened the door, I ran right into a someone. "Sorry" I said as I looked up, and came face to face with a pair of dark brown eyes.
"Oh, Its ok...You must be new here?" he asked. I nodded. "Caleb Danvers." he said, as he held out his hand. "Audrey..Audrey Peirs." I said, shaking his hand.
"Do you need any help?" he asked, reffering to my bags.
"Oh..umm...sure, if you don't mind." I replied.
Caleb picked up my bags. "Where to?"
"Umm..front office, I have to get a dorm." I said, as he leaded the way.
Once we ade it o the front office, the lady at the desk, gave me a room. I looked at the room key. Room 315. I told Caleb the number. "Oh cool, thats right down from Kate's dorm." he said, as we made it to the 3rd floor. As we walked down the hallway, Caleb told me that Kate was the girlfriend of his friend Pouge. I opened the door, and walked in. Caleb scooted in, and set my bags on the floor. "Thanks" I said to him. "Your welcome" he said as he backed out of the room.
"Oh-yeah," Caleb's head poked around the doorway, "If you need anything, heres my dorm and cell phone number." He said as he pulled out a pen, and paper. Afterwards, he waved by, and left. I closed the door, and turned around and looked at my new room. I large twin bed sat in the corner. I had gotten a one person dorm. No Roomate..YES. A homework desk sat in front of the window. I saw a small couch on the other side of the wall, some kind of a stand sat in front of it...a T.V. stand to be exact. I small microwave sat on a little countertop beside the couch. POPCORN & A MOVIE' I thought, and smiled to myself.
