Take My Pride

Chapter 1

*Ryan's POV*

I sat there waiting for my name to be called. They were going to interview me and see if I was fit for this college. I wasn't the only one here, but I couldn't help but be nervous. So I used my remedy to calm my nerves. I thought of how amazing this campus would be, how many friends I would make- ya know the good things. Maybe I'll even- "Ryan Ramos" the secretary called my name snapping me out of my trance. I got up slowly and walked to the door that they secretary held open for me.

All of the nervousness that I had just calmed down came rushing back to me. What if I messed up? I can do weird and stupid things when I'm nervous and this was probably no exception. The lady at the desk, Ms. Mason by the plate, looked at me skeptically before smiling. "It's okay Ms. Ramos. No need to be nervous." Crap. If she could tell I was nervous just by looking at me I knew I was going to blow it. "You already have been accepted to this university. This interview is just to see how much you really want to be here."

Of course I wanted to be here. I've been dreaming of coming to Florida State since I knew what college was. I smiled at her and answered all of her questions truthfully. If I knew this was only going to be an interview I would have never been nervous. When I was done I walked out of the office with pride. I looked at my watch and it was about 2:30 and my ride wouldn't be here until 4 which gave me some time. So I decided to take another tour of the campus. They had given me one at open house but I needed to burn time, so why not. I would be moving in in a few days so might as well get familiar with the place.

I was walking past the sociology building when I heard someone yelling. Instinctively I looked over and saw two guys who looked ready to take each other's heads off. One stomped in my direction obviously trying to avoid any physical contact. That's when I saw his eyes. They were amber. Almost as if they were...... glowing. He caught me looking at him and I quickly turned on my heel and walked away. Looking at my watch again I only had 15 minutes left and it took me about 10 minutes to get to where I was supposed to meet my ride. I didn't have my own car yet since I just moved here a couple of weeks ago but not being able to go where I please, when I please was really pissing me off. I had waited 10 minutes before u heard my brothers radio.

I loved my brother and he wasn't half bad but he got on my nerves too much. Good thing I'd only be here for a couple more days or I swear I would've ripped his head off before the month was over. "So how'd it go" he asked me turning down the stereo slightly. "It was actually pretty good" I told him "the lady was nice" "how nice" he looked at me with raised eyebrows. Ugh I knew that look. "EWWW Roland!!! She was like 50!!!!" I punched him in the arm. "Never mind then". I knew he was just kidding but it was fun to have a reason to hit him. When we arrived at home I went straight to my room and took a nap.

Tomorrow I would go shopping for clothes the. The next day I would be moving in to my dorm. But if course I had to have a nightmare.....
