The next morning, Jack and Sam were up on the hill watching the sunrise.
"You know Jack by this time next year there will be five new houses built just across the road"
"Yeah, at least the family wouldn't have to travel so far"
"True, Uncle Phillip and I talk last night"
"I know, I heard everything Sam" she turn to him
"Every thing"
"Yes and Sam what you do with the money is your choice"
"Thanks, so it looks like we are going to have a big wedding"
"Yeah…. Big cake as well" sam laugh
"Of course" then she gave him a kiss.
They talked for over an hour before they decided to return with the horses. That afternoon, the limo showed up for them since they were catching the afternoon flight back to Colorado Springs. They all said their goodbyes to Tracey and Phillip before getting in and leaving for the airport.
Two hours later the plane landed at Colorado Springs airport. When they got off they headed inside and collected their bags and walk out to where the taxis are. They said goodbye to Mark and Ann before they got into a taxi and left to go home while Mark and Ann got into another taxi and headed to the academy.
When Jack and Sam got home, the house was cold so Sam turn the thromerstate on and up before walking up the stairs to her bedroom. Jack was already in his room unpacking his bags. When they both finish unpacking everything, they went into town to buy a few groceries for home and also they brought a pizza for dinner.
When they got home, they house was a bit warmer. After everything sorted out they sat down and watch some TV while eating the pizza. Afterwards Sam made them both a hot drink while Jack went through the mail until Sam return.
They both went through their mail while having their drinks and talk. When they finish checking their mail they both went up to their rooms and make their beds before turning in for an early night.
Early the next morning when they both got up, Sam sorted out her clothes, bedding everything before Mr Thomas showed up. Once everything was done, they sat down to breakfast and talk while listening to the radio. When finished and the dishes were done, Mr Thomas showed up so Jack help Sam with her things.
Once they were all in the car they both hug and kiss before Sam got in then they wave to each other just as Mr Thomas droved away. They talk about what they did during the holidays. When she told him about what Jack got her, she look at his face, he was smiling
"Wow congratulation Sam"
"Thanks, it was a shocker but we are happy and planning on a long engagement"
"That good to know"
"Yeah even Mark by brother got engaged as well on the same day but he was over at in New York with his girlfriend and her family"
"Wow double engagement, now that is new"
"I bet, they planning on getting married in July"
"Ok"
They talk till he stopsoutside the dorm and he helps her with her bags, once they were in the dorm, Sam thank him before he left. She knocked on the manager's door, when he opened it, he smiles.
"Samantha welcome back"
"Thanks Mr Brown, I notice there has been a lot of changes while away?"
"Yes since the extensions are complete and all of this as well so now the rooms are bigger and now with the new rooms, it first up best dress for the good rooms"
"Why that?"
"All the new rooms are bigger and they got bathroom in them, shower, toilet and hand basin and plus there is a laundry room on the new wing"
"Ok so sounds like I've missed out?" he smiles.
"No dear, I save the best room just for you"
"What why?"
"For every thing you have done in the last two years, you deserve it"
"Thanks"
"Come I'll show you to your room"
He turned around and got the key to the door then he walks out and he close and lock the door then he put a sign up then he walked down the corridor and turn the corner on to the new wing which just finish just before Christmas last year.
They walk up the stairs and turn left to walk down the corridor to the end where a door is. He unlocks the door and opened it then he let Sam walk in first. When she walked in she was amazed with what she saw. There was a double bed, nine draw built in dresser, double door closet, a desk, a chair that is on wheels, a beer fridge with a kitchenette on top with a single point plug which she knew it is or the jug. Sam put her things on the bed and she walked into the bathroom where there was shower, toilet, hand basin, and a cabinet with a mirror.
Sam walk back out and look around, there was a cork board above the built in desk it was twice as big as the one she had in her old room.
"Well what do you think?"
"It great"
"Well there you go, here is your key and enjoy your year here"
"Thanks" he passes Sam her key then he walked out and close the door. Sam looked around and looked at the bed
"I need bigger sheets," she said smiling.
She started sorting things out till it was time to go and get her books and class timetable. When she walked out with her backpack
"Shield on" she said quietly after she locked the door.
Then she walked down the corridor and down the stairs and then walked to the front entrance and out side. She went to get her timetable, then her books for the year. When she got them she went to her first class for the year.
Since she only had the one class that morning, she returned back to her room. When she walks into the dorm, she heard Mr Brown talking to a new girl who is a freshman there
"Why can't I have one of the new rooms?"
"Cause they are all taken"
"What, you are going to give me the room I want, now" she said yelling
"No and don't you talk to me like that, have more respect young lady, now here is you room, you know where everything else is" he pass her, her key and he turn around and walk back to his office come home. When he saw Sam
"Morning Samantha, how was your first class?"
"Good, between the subjects I got here and at the academy, I still got some time between classes"
"That's good to know, don't study hard" Sam smile
"I won't"
"Have a good day"
"You to Mr brown"
Then Sam walked down the condor, when she saw the freshmen; she was wearing expensive clothing and too muchmake up.

"You got an attitude problem you know that, so get of you damn high horse, your not at home being weigh on hand and foot, around here it a different world do get use to it and have respect for Mr brown"
"Who do you think you are telling me what to do"
"You don't want to know and with your allude, you won't be getting much respect in this place… have a nice day" then Sam walk away from her.
When she got to her room she sorted everything out then she went to the university store where she got a few things and then she went and got some early lunch that she had there. Then she returns back to her room and put everything way then she collected her books and left to head over to the air force dorm, knowing the freshmen was following her.
She watches Sam nodded to the guard who new and didn't know who she was so he stops her
"Excuse me air force personnel only"

"Ma'am have you got any ID on you"
"It ok I'll vouch for her" Sam turn around and smile
