Meeting Megan was a gift within itself. There were three things I realized since then.
1. She was selfless.
2. She was caring.
3. Well...
It was the beginning of my last year of high school, I decided to go campus seeing with my close friend, Ryan. We had a friend who was in a college we were accepted to, we were able to stay with her for a weekend. Ryan and I wouldn't pass it up.
The cool breeze hit me as I walked down the campus with my overnight bag, Ryan and Justine lead the way. My eyes circled the campus as we walked to Justine's dorm and the closer we got the more excited I became.
Walking through the hall of dorms made me feel extremely grown up. Nervousness set in when Justine opened the door as if this was my actual first day of college, one by one we entered the two bed room.
"I don't have a roommate for right now so you two can take that bed." We both nodded, we didn't mind sharing a bed being that we've done it plenty of times before. "I'll show you guys around tomorrow, I figured the first night you'd be able to enjoy yourselves and come to a party with me."
Ryan and I exchanged a look, our first college party and we couldn't be more hyped.
I had butterflies getting ready, cladding myself in a tight black skirt along with a white tube top. That was the outfit I decided on after an hour of changing plus I felt as if it accommodated the curls that cascaded down my back.
"You look great." Ryan promised me, hands on my shoulder as she stood behind me so that I could see her via mirror. I nodded with a smile and soon we were out the door.
The college party didn't seem any different from high school parties besides people being older and a bit more drinks being passed around. Justine informed us not to accept a drink from anyone and if we sat it down to not pick it back up, basic things we already knew.
Music was booming along with sweaty bodies colliding, I had claimed a spot on the wall while Ryan and Justine decided to move their body to any song that played. Hot breath hit my neck causing me to cringe and look up.
He was tall, light skin and seeming to be a bit tipsy as he put his hand against the wall over my head, I rolled my eyes not interested in where this was going.
"You new?" He slurred, his Hennessy smelling breath hit me like a ton of bricks. I pulled my face and moved over a bit.
"No, I don't go here. I'm in high school and here for the weekend."
He smirked creepily causing me to lean off of the wall and start to walk away, he grasped my arm which made me yank it resulting in him gripping it tighter.
"Where you going?"
"Yo," I heard, I looked up to see a tall girl, she was nearly his size. She looked at his hand around my arm then back at him, giving him the biggest mug. "Get the fuck off of her."
"M-"
"Did you not hear me, Chris? Let her the fuck go." She gritted, I could tell it was a warning and I could also tell that she meant business. He must have known too being that he sucked his teeth and released me from his grip before walking away.
"You good lil mama?" The stranger asked as I rubbed my arm to sooth the pain, I nodded while being completely in awe. She was so mesmerizing.
"I'm fine, thank you."
"New?"
I shook my head hastily and began to explain my situation, she nodded all while smiling.
