A New Beginning

The boxes and the Road Trip

This was it. The day Analise had finally become an actual adult. Was she exited? A little. Petrified out of her mind? Definitely. Course, it was college. A brand new place, frat parties and actually ending up passing her two year term. You can't combine those two. It would have been easier if she went to her mother's college where everyone knew everybody, but her father's business had them moving all over the place.

Her father, Frederick Donnovan, was a largely known photographer, constantly making him move to different states for multiple celebrities. They all had wanted to hire him. And though Analise's father was practically famous, that didn't mean she was the brightest crayon in the crayon box. She often got picked on, along with her father. The people at her old highschool, Dixie Hills, often called her father gay and her a dimwit daughter all because her father took photoshoots of male models for famous magazine companies.

She wished more than anything that she could just make some friends that would stick with her. Even if she moved, she prayed they'd keep in touch. But none of them ever did. She considered all of them family, that was until her father got hitched on his new job. It hurt her when she'd fall in love, because she'd never end up seeing the boy again. But that was all about to change.

Analise opened the door to her dorm room, finding a tall, sort of masculine boy sitting on the right side of the room. She was confused. Weren't dorms supposed to separate the boys and the girls? She quietly walked to her side of the room, the left side, amd started to unpack her things. Then her mother came in all happy and cheerful like awlways. "Hello there, you must be Annie's new roomate!!" Her mother cheered.

Analise hid her face, trying not to make eye contact with the boy or her mother. "It's Analise, mom. You know how I feel about you calling me Annie!" She moaned. The boy smiled a white toothy grin at the two bickering. "I'm Carson. It's nice to meet both of you. This is my second year, so I know the twists and turns of you'd like a tour." He semi asked but actually, wasn't asking at all. "Seems like you two have been driving for a while. Why don't you stretch your legs a little more, Ms. Donnovan." He said in a quaint tone.

"How do you know my last name?" Analise asked. "My mothers last name to be exact?"

"Your father did a photoshoot for my step mother!" Carson replied quite cheery. Analise was confused. Who was this boy, really?

"Are you guys ready for the tour?" Carson asked , standing up. Analise thought, 'hot jesus this dude is taller than I thought.' She couldn't relate, she was 5'9". This guy looked like he was 6'7". She kind of stared for s minute, not even realizing what she was doing. Carson waved his hand forward, as a 'lets go' signal. Analise amd her mother both followed him. He gave a full tour, where the dorms were located, where the bathrooms, lounge, and classes were all located.

Analise laid her eyes upon a blonde boy in a plaid vest and undershirt that made him look like a professer. Carson saw and rolled his eyes, "You should probably ignore him. He's kind of a dick." Then he started walking over. He grabbed Analise's mothers hand and kissed the top, "Afternoon, miss." He said politely. He then laid eyes on Analise. "My name is Daniel. People call me Danny, just come to me if you need any help finding your way around. My dorm is room 341." But what neither of the boys had told her was that they had used to be roomates. Carson and Danny had gotten into a fist fight, bad enough that they both ended up in the hospital. Thats when the college decided that this was a science kind of thing. Acids and acids make a neutral. The dorms were arranged by age, personality and lastly, his/her ability to get along with others.
