Paige groaned as she threw her favorite pair of dark wash, distressed jeans into her already full suitcase. Once again she had over packed and she still had half her wardrobe to go. Clothes always took her mind off of whatever was worrying her at the moment, and at this moment she was worried about Spinner. Just thinking about how things had ended with her old boyfriend, made her sick. She was upset at herself for allowing things to go as far as they did that night. Because of their one night stand, Spinner thought they had a future together, something that was impossible. She was about to attend Banting, one of the most prestigious Universities in the country, while Spinner was stuck at Degrassi another year, with his Bible hugging girlfriend.
Between her break-up with Alex and Spinner. Paige had felt it necessary to begin her time at Banting a little sooner than planned. She had called the school and explained her situation. They agreed to her living in the dorms during the summer, on two conditions, she had to pay for the two extra months and she could no longer have a private room, she would now be sharing with two other girls. Paige was never the girl, who enjoyed sharing her bedroom, but this was college, she was more mature now. She could handle anything.
Her father gently knocked on her door.
"Ready to go?" he asked, picking up a few of his daughters bags.
Paige nodded and turned off the lights in her room, for the last time. The walk down the stairs was silent; the only noise was the sound of the clacking wheels against the hardwood stairs. Her mother waited at the bottom of the stairs, tears in her eyes, camera in her hand. For the second time in the last hour, Paige groaned. Despite her groan, she was still happy that her parents cared enough for her to take the day off work, to see her off. The camera flash went off until Paige was blinded. As her parents embraced Paige walked up to her brand new red Ford, a Grad present.
Tears over came her eyes as she pulled out of the drive way. Leaving her home, her parents and the city she loved.
