Second Chance

Happy Beginnings (Maybe)

               First day of college. I'm feeling very independent. Even though my parents aren't even a hour away, they promised they wouldn't just pop up unannounced. Vanni even goes here. His last year of high school He got his act together and stopped skipping. He and I have made up. He was there for my break-up with Liam. Vanni had apologized and told me he thought his parents liked me more than him. I don't know why he thought that but I didn't want him to feel that way, so I forgave him.

"Mora, you ready?" I looked up to L.T. 

I called her by her Initials I was a crazy with nicknames.I was seated on a bench playing a game on my phone just outside her class. I nodded very excited. I was really happy she was here  with me. We have Psychology 101 together. That's the only class we share. Lauren wanted to be a nurse, and I wanted to be a social worker.

"Are we still on for lunch later?" She asked.
"Um yeah, but Vanni said he wants to come is that ok?"

She stared at me dumbfounded. "Are you really asking me that? He can come anytime (especially on me),  no pun intended."

I playfully punched her and scrunched my face up in digust. "All of that was pun intended."

She just shrugged. We continued on our way to class. I mean I guess Vanni was considered "hot" he did win prom king. And he did have girls surrounded by him mostly unless he was in a bad mood or I was hanging around. It's just that's my brother so I don't look at him that way. I took a seat next to L.T. Who's smirking at our psych teacher. I swear this girl has no limits. Our teacher, Mr. Hunter doesn't look a day over 30. But that's like illegal, I kicked her foot. She needs to stop.

"Oww..why'd you kick me?" She whisper yelled.

" It was a spider on your foot, you should be thanking me." 

She smiled and batted her eyelashes."Thank you royal pain my a.."

 Her sarcasm was cut short by Mr. Hunter."Ladies, is there a problem?"

 L.T. Turned to face him."Not at all, my friend here was just removing a spider from my foot and I was politely thanking her."

   He nodded knowingly and continued with going over how the course was going to be this semester. He seem to be energetic. Even gave some brain teasers. I smiled to myself. I'm going to love this class. I wrote a few notes, seeing as how we've had homework already. He passed out the syllabus then we were free to go. Outside was Vanni waiting.

" How's my favorite girl, well second favorite Sam beats you." Vanni said as he swung his arm over my shoulder.

 Sam was our little sister but I called her Riley by her middle name.  I rolled my eyes and before I could answer L.T. Spoke. " I'm good Gio and I'm not standing her" she bit sarcastically. "I knew you weren't there that's why I didn't ask." He retorted L.T. Punched him in the arm, 

He just laughed. We walk to vanni's black on white Kia. " Alright, where too? Hmmm. Choices. Choices. Choices. McDonald's, steak and shake, chipotle, chik-fil-a?"

           Vanni ended up getting chik-fil-a. Then we headed to chipotle for L.T. And I. We both got chicken burritos double meat and extra cheese. We all sat and ate outside chipotle. It was a nice day, a little on the hotter side but nice. I placed my shades on my face to block the sun from getting into my eyes as I ate. We talked about how our first day was going and what classes we shared. Vanni and I had none while Vanni and L.T. Had 3. Vanni said he walk me to and from class when he was available. I really appreciated it because I only knew him and L.T.I saw some faces from high School, but none that I conversed with on a regular basis. Plus the campus was so big I doubt I see them often.We headed back to campus because Vanni and L.T. Had art class together. I told them I would go talk to the counselor about some things.

"Don't wait up simmy I have football practice, I'll just head to your place afterwards."

"Ok, that works for me I'll make baked ham and Mac n cheese maybe cupcakes if I'm up to it, how does that sound?" He gave me a thumbs up before walking off." Later Simmy." L.T said mockingly. I just gave her the middle finger and headed to the counselor.

    Now that I got that out of they way it's time to cook some food. So I can go munching on some grindage. I laughed inwardly, I'm such a dork. Then I stopped just as fast as I started. Why is he here? He was going to a community college. I guess he must've transferred. I know this is a dream. I blinked rapidly as he laughed while the brown hair blue eyes pecked his neck. I ran quickly to my car. I can't believe Liam goes here. I got really sad. I hurried home and locked myself in my room listening to Sam Smith.

Later there was a knock on my door that soon turned into pounding.

 "I'm not feeling well" I called out.

 " Really simmy I wanted ham." Vanni whined through the door.

" Tomorrow I promise." I said in between sobs, he's never leave if he knew. I was crying.

 " Fine,  but do you need or want anything?" I smiled a little, I love my brother.

" No thanks! Ham tomorrow, Love you!"
"You too simmy, call me if you need anything." I heard his footsteps move from the door. I turned my Ihome back up.

 " Welp, first day of college happy beginnings my ass." I mumbled to myself. I'll talk to L.T. About this tomorrow then I slowly drifted off to sleep humming to Sam Smith " la la la".
