I'd like to say I'm good at making friendships, in elementary or high school, but college is a whole different atmosphere. It's where kids aren't kids, but adults beginning their life's on their own without anyone holding their hand.

I'm currently thinking all of this while driving to the house I'm gonna be living in for all of freshman year at University of Michigan, but there's a plot twist, I'm sharing it with 2 other strangers.

2 hours later

After two long hours I finally arrive at the house I'm staying at, and let me just say it's beautiful. I get out the car and knock on the door noticing there's 2 other cars in the driveway.

The door opens and I'm greeted by a gorgeous blonde "Hi" she says with a huge smile on her face

"Hi, my name's Anastasia, but my friends call me Annie, I'm one of the three that's living here" I say stepping inside the house when she moves aside to let me in

"Cool! My name's Juliette but you can call me Julie" she says

I hear soft footsteps coming down the stair and a slim figure appears "Omg! Hi" the girl I assume to be my other roommate says coming up to me and hugging me

"Hey" i laugh a but at her enthusiasm

"My name is Scarlett but you can call me scar" she says with a big smile

"My name's Anastasia but you can call me Annie" I repeat from earlier

"I love your name! It reminds me of a book" she says

"Thank, ima go get my stuff, do y'all mind helping me"

"Nope" they both say at the same time and we all laugh before heading out and getting the stuff from my car

1 hour later

"No way, I would have died!" Julie says. We're currently all sitting on scar's bed talking about our lives to get to know each other better, and let me just say it feels like I've known these girls my whole life, cliché I know right.

"I was close to it, but I just ran as fast as I could to the car, which now that I think about it probs made me look more crazy" scar says as we're all laughing at her story

"So tell us about you Annie" she says as they're both watching me now

"Well I'm from California, I love reading as you guys saw, my favorite color is yellow, I'm majoring in biology because I want to be a doctor" I say proudly

"Wow so you have your life figured out" Julie says and I almost break out laughing almost

"Ha, no way, I wish, I just think of it as a "I know what I want" type of character trait" I say and they just nod there heads "how about you Julie, what are you all about" I say sending her a soft smile

"I wish I knew, I'm still trying to figure life after 3 years" she says with a soft laugh almost sad

"Any boys?" I ask

"No" she responds a little too quickly "I gave up on boys a while ago" she says looking at her lap.

"Boy's are a waste of space and time anyways, I mean, all they want is to get their dicks wet, and then see ya no text no call, nada" Scar says rolling her eyes

"Yeah I guess so" I say even though I've had a crush on the same guy since freshman year of high school

Halston Parker.

the only boy I could think about, the only boy that's ever had my heart, and the only boy who's ever broken it without ever being an us, with us only ever existing in my dreams.

"Hello, hello is anybody in thereee, earth to Anastasia" I hear as I come back to reality

"sorry what were you saying?" I say

"Let's go to a party" Scar says getting up from the bed

"I'm in I need a good distraction" Julie says getting up as well

"I don't know" I've never been one to go to parties, I usually just stay in my room re-watching TVD or reading

"C'mon it'll be fun, these sophomores are hosting it at their house before the first day, I heard someone call it the rag house or something like that" she says already putting down dresses on the bed to pick

"I don-"

"Nope you're going!" Julie yells from wherever her room is while scar gives me a smirk and I could tell I wasn't gonna win this one

"Fine, but I'm not drinking" I say pointing at her while heading towards her door

"Perfect you'll be driving then, YAY" she says closing her closet to change

Heading to my room I close the door and head to my closet where I have most of my stuff displayed, parties are not my scenery but I do know how to dress for it without looking like I'm going to the library so there's that.

1 hour later

Turns out picking an outfit is harder than expected I usually just wear shorts, sweats, and shirt, but this was hard, I came to the choice of a black crop and some jeans

It's as good as it's gonna get.

I decide on light makeup seeing as my skin looks good and I spray perfume, put on a pair of air forces and I'm good to go, and that's when it hits me.

I'm going to a party.
