"Here we are!" My mother squeals as wedrive through thestone gate andinto the campus.
The campus looks just as great in person as it did in the brochures and online, I'mimpressed.The buildings are oldand
elegant.Hundreds of people, parents hugging and kissing their children goodbye, clusters offreshman, dressed head
to toe in Washington State University gear, anda few stragglers, lost and confused,fill thearea.The size of the campus
is intimidating but hopefully after a few weeks I will feel at home. The orientation is short and I sit alone, my usual
forte. A seemingly nice middle aged woman gives me my dorm key and sends me on my way. I already feel more
freedom than I have in the last eighteen years.
"I want to see your dorm room before I go honey. I just can't believe you are in college! My only daughter, a college
student, living on her own. I just can't believe it." She whines and wipes her eyes, careful to not mess up her makeup.
Noah follows us, carrying my bags as we navigate through the corridor.
"Now, just be sure you remember everything I told you, you don't want to do anything to ruin your future," she checks
the time on her watch, a watch that she certainly couldn't afford but purchased anyway.
"It's B22.. we are in C hall," I tell them. Luckily, I see a large B painted on the wall. "Down here," I instruct and they
follow.I'm thankful thatI only brought a few clothes, a blanket, and some of my favorite bookswith me, givingNoah
less to carry.
"B22," my mother huffs. Her heels are outrageously high for the amount of walkingwe have just endured. I slide the
key into the old wooden door, it creaks open and my mother gasps. The room is small, with two tiny beds and two
desks. My eyes travel to the reason of my mother's suprise. One side of the room is covered in music posters, mostly
bands I have never heard of, the faces on them covered in piercings and tattoos. The girl laying across the bed has
bright red hair, eyes lined with what looks like inches of black liner, and her arms are covered in tattoos.
"Hey,"thestrangersays, offering a smile. Her smile is quite intriguing, much to my surprise. "I'm Steph," she says and
sits up on her elbows.
"h..hey.. I'm Tessa," I choke, all of my manners flying out the door.
"Welcome to WSU, where the dorms are tiny and the parties are huge," the crimson haired girl grins. Her head falls
back into a fit of laughter. My mother's jaw is resting, wide openon the carpet, and Noah shifts uncomfortably. Steph
walks over, closing the gap between us and wraps her thin arms around me. I am taken aback by her affection but I
return her kind gesture.A knocksounds at the door as Noah drops my bags onto the floor and I can't help but hope
that this is all some sort of sick joke.
"Come in!" My new roommate yells, the door opens and two boys walk inside before she finishes her greeting.
Boys inside the female dorms on the first day? Maybe Washington Statewas a bad decision. I assume by the pained
expression covering my mother's face, she is thinking the same. The poor woman looks like she may pass out any
moment. I wouldn't blame her.
"Hey, you Steph's roomie?" The blonde boy asks. He doesn't have as many tattoos as the other boy, but he has them.
"Um..Discover
yea. My nameCreate
is Tessa,"

After "I'm Niall. Don't look so nervous, it throws people off." He says with a smile, reaching out to touch my shoulder. "You'll

love it here,"his smile is warm and inviting despite his harsh appearance.
"I'm ready guys," Steph says, grabbing her thick, black bag from the bed. My eyes shift to the tallbrown haired
boyleaning against the wall.His hair is a mop ofwaves on his head, pushed back off of his forehead and he has metal
in his eyebrow andlip.My eyes traveldown his black t-shirt to his arms which are covered in tattoos as well, not an
inch of untouched skin is seen. I expect him to introduce himself but he doesn't, instead herolls his eyes in annoyance
andpulls a cellphone from the pocket of his tight, black jeans.Hedefinitely isn't as friendly as his blonde friend.
"See you aroundTessa," Niallsays and the three of them exit the room. I let out a long breath. To say that was
uncomfortable would be an understatement.

"You are getting a new dorm!' My mother yells as soon as the door clicks shut.
"No, I can't." I sigh, It's fine mother,"I do my best to hide my nerves.I don't know how well this will work out either
butthe last thing I want is myoverbearing mother causing ascene on my first day of college."I'm sure she wont be
around anyway," I try to convince her, along with myself.
"Absolutely not, we are going to switch now," her long blonde hair is flipped toone shoulder,"you will not be in a room
with someone who allowsmales into her room,those punks at that!" Sheshrieks.
"Mother.. please,"I look into her blueeyes then to Noah,"let's just see how it goes. Please," I beg. She looks around to
the room again, taking in the dcor covering Steph's side and huffs dramatically.
"Fine." she spits, much to my surprise.
