Jenner answered on the first ring. "Sister!, I've missed you. Mom told me, she gave you a ride to school today", her tiny voice beeps from the phone and filled my room.

"Yeah she did and she promised to get me a car next week!" I smile and roll around the bed.

"I'm so happy for you, when is your class tomorrow?"

"10 a:m, I'm a little nervous about it, sis.

"Yeah, that's how it is for freshman, don't worry you will get over it soon.

"Oh, before I forgot, did mom tell you that I live off-campus with someone?".

"Yes, she did. I think it's for the best". My sister says and I feel the change in her voice, she is probably worried about my nightmares.

"Hey, don't worry about me, OK? I'm not a baby anymore, and it is only once in a month, remember?, I say with a little fear in my voice. I need to assure her that. So she wouldn't have to think about it and focus more on her studies.

"You will always be my baby," she says and we burst out laughing.

"How are things between you and Martin's? I ask.

"We are good, he's been such a darling.

"I can feel the love in the air", I teased and we laugh again.

"What of Lisa, have you heard from her? My sister asks.

"Yeah, she is in California now... "For her modeling career, martins told me, my sister says cutting me off.

"I'm so happy for her". I cheer and imagined what Lisa would be doing now.

"Me too, Emma wanna talk with you, she has been disturbing me here since".

Emma Watson is my sister's college bestie, she once came to our house with jenny during break. "She is such a sweet girl" mom had say when she helped her in her garden, last three months. I'm friends with her too.

"Hi Tracy, it's been long since I last talk with you, Emma beeps with a chuckle.

"Yeah, it has and I miss you and Jenny.

"Oh baby me too, I heard the good news, so sorry I haven't called okay? congratulations".

"Thank you".

"So Tracy, have you seen your housemate yet? my sister asks from the speaker".

"I haven't seen her yet, I just got here today, remember? And I pray she's gonna be cool and good."I'm hanging up now, I have loads of things to do now, I will call you later okay?

"Huh!, bye love".

*hours later*

Jeez, I almost forgot about my plan to get some sleeping pills to avoid having nightmares today, today is the first of April. I groan to myself self and the idea of taking pills frightens the shit out of me. I didn't tell Jenner about it because she is gonna freak out and probably tell mom and dad. And I wouldn't want somebody banging on my door in the middle of the night.

I don't know anywhere or any pharmacy around here. Well, I'm gonna use my phone to google it and use the Google map. I roll out of my big bed, grab my toiletry bag and walk to the bathroom. I took a fast shower, wore my casual dress and walks down the street.

" I found one! I breathe and head inside the building.

"Young miss, how may I help you? The pharmacist asks.

"Oh, I need some sleeping pills for my sister", I lie.

"Who prescribed a sleeping pill to her? he asks, giving me a cold stare.

I glared at him, " family doctor ".

"You sure? He eyes me as if I was lying or something. Or maybe I am lying.

He is not being nice and I'm pissed already, "Can't you just give me the pills or I'm supposed to be interrogated before buying something here? and stop asking questions. I say softly but it came out harshly.

"Here you go", he says handing me the small nylon. I paid for the damn thing and hurried out of the building.

I was alerted by the grumbling of my stomach. I haven't eaten anything since I got here and...

My eyes caught an eatery that isn't far from the pharmacy. I walked inside and placed my order. I don't like eating out. so they package everything in a small food box. on my way to the door, a guy bumped into me, almost knocking my food box down.

"Watch it, bitch!".

I am taken aback by his word. "Hey, you bumped into me!, I yell attracting attention to us which I didn't like but right now, I don't fucking care.

He stopped. "Just move it and get the hell out! he spits turning to face me." Or ain't you tired of looking?.

"Whoa, is that how to say sorry?, I glared at him and  I'm burning up right now.

"You've gotta...His friend interrupts. "Sorry dear, his friend says, grabbed my hand and leads me out of the small eatery. "Hey, sorry for what just happened there", he says pointing at the eatery.

"Is that how he is?", I ask, trying so hard to quench the anger that is burning up in me.

"Nah, he's just a little pissed, don't take it to heart, he apologizes on the dude's behalf.

"It's okay, I say not meaning it, I just wanna get the hell out of here.

"By the way I'm Chris, he smiled extending his hand for a hand check.

"Tracy Garcia, I grin taking his offer.

"You live around here", he asks.

"Yeah", I gotta go now, I say almost halfway to the road I trekked in coming here.

"See you around! he yell for me to hear him. I nod and he walks back inside the eatery. I wonder what a nice guy like Chris would be doing, hanging out with that jerk, I whispered into the thin air.
