"Ephram where here", my fathers voice prodded me awake slowly. When I came to the realization that we where here I bolted upright taking in everything I saw. The weather was still hot here in Denver and everywhere I looked there where green mountains much like Everwood but it was a little of New York to. With all the hustle and bustle. There where people everywhere but the quiet calm was still maintained. My two favorite places combined in one Everwood and New York City.
We drove, following the signs to the Highview dorm. Finally we reached the parking lot for Highview dormitories and we began to unload the few things I had bought for my stay at college. Fist we brought up the bed and Delia grabbed my duffel. I stopped at the check-in for incoming freshman and the pointed me to the elevator handed me some key and told me I was on the third floor.
The bed, Dad, Delia and me barely all fit in the elevator. It was a tight squeeze and as soon as we got to the third floor we all unfolded ourselves out of the contraption. We made several wrong turns before we realized there where signs telling us where to go. When we reached 344 I took my keys out of my pocket and opened the door eagerly. I was one of the lucky ones since I was in the Highview dormitory it meant that I got a room alone. The dorms where smaller than the rest in other building but it suited me just fine. It was one of the newly renovated buildings so we all each had bathrooms adjoined to our rooms that we shared with the room next to us. I went through the bathroom and knocked on the door belonging to the other room but no one answered. We set up my bed and went back down for the rest of my stuff. Soon we where all laid out exhaustedly on my bed surrounded by a desk, TV, computer and mini-refrigerator. My clothes had already been put away in the small closet in the corner. I got up and made myself busy putting up numerous pictures of my family and friends and posters on the walls.
After about half an hour we went down to the eating area to grab some food and pick up my eating card. The place was pretty vacant what with it not being much of an eating hour. 3:30 was pretty random. We chatted about how I liked the place and what classes I was taking. When the meal was over I headed back out to the parking lot with them and we did the good-bye routine. I was a little frightened about being left here all alone. I decided to be excited though and instead of taking the elevator I bounded up the stairs. I went into my dorm and flopped on my bed letting out a contented sigh. I retired into sleep as I slowly drifted off.
