A Castle By the Sea

As we finally walked into the dining hall, I noticed that there weren't many people here. We sat away from most of the people here since the little accident earlier had us both sort of shook up. I still couldn't believe that I had stuck up for Michelle. Hell, I rarely even stick up for myself!

"What are ya thinking about doll face?" Michelle said with a smile.

"Just.. well.. nothing, it's nothing." I said shyly. I didn't know this girl so I couldn't just tell her everything that was going through my mind, not yet.

"Oh.. Okay" she said cautiously. We both got ourselves a small salad and quickly ate since we had to be back at our dorms in time for the meeting.

"Shit! Sara, we're gonna be so fucking late!" she screeched and grabbed my hand as we ran onto the side walk towards our dorms. She ended up letting go of my hand and continuing to run, I did too but I was much slower than she was.

I kept running until I hit something and fell right on my ass. It felt as if I had hit a brick wall. Of course, me being the klutz I am, I was more concerned about not tripping over the concrete beneath me rather than the people walking against me.

I looked up to see yet another tanned boy (I guess Michelle was right, I did describe every boy in Cali.) but he had many tattoos covering his arms."

"Fuck! I am so sorry." I listed myself back up and started to run again. I can't believe it. I just made a fool of myself in front of two boys not even two hours apart from each other.

This move and choice to go to college was either going to be the best thing for me or it's going to kill me but it's still better than being back home where I was a push over and had nothing going for me.

I arrived back at the dorms just in time for the meeting and huffed as I tried to catch my breath from running and from my embarrassment. Someone tugged on my arm and I turned to see Michelle.

"What took you so long? I thought you were right behind me!" she whisper-yelled as we listened to our dorm facilitators talk about general rules.

"I am way slower than you and I ended up running into someone, like literally, and yeah" my breathing started to get back to normal as Michelle tried to stifle her giggles. I playfully slapped her arm as we continued to listen to the older girls that were speaking.

Once the little meeting was over, we raced up to our rooms to really get acclimated with the space we were sharing. I started to put up posters of bands I liked and I noticed Michelle was gingerly putting her clothes away. I plopped down on my temporary bed and looked over at Michelle's pristine space. She had a pink and black blanket on her bed with matching sheets along with cute little trinkets on her night stand beside her bed. It seemed like we were polar opposites because I had a black comforter with bright red sheets and a bunch of CD's stacked upon my night stand. Although it was kind of amusing, how different we seemed, it was also kind of saddening because I had a few people who had the same interests as me but I knew nothing about this girl. I guess only time will tell how well we really get along.

'Shelly! let's go, the boys are waiting!' someone screamed from the other side of our door. I looked at Michelle who practically hit herself in the face for forgetting that she had plans.

"Fuck! I totally forgot I made plans with Beth, from down the hall. I really wanted to just spend some time with you so we can get to know each other!" she sighed and gave me a sympathetic look.

"It's fine! go have some fun, I'll be fine. We can do something tomorrow together since classes don't start for another few days." I smiled at her and a grateful but still sad look planted itself on her beautiful face.

"Seriously, I am so sorry! I'll make it up to you tomorrow and then some" she smiled and i nodded as she made her way out of the room, leaving me to just listen to music for the rest of the night.

I fell asleep far before Michelle got back but it didn't bother me. she seemed like the social type where I, on the other hand, was kind of anti-social. To say I wasn't a people person wasn't right but to say I loved to be around them was also incorrect. I just liked being alone or with a very small group of people.

At this point I let myself fall asleep to the music that filled my headphones, not caring if I was alone right now because, for once, I felt safe.
