Day 1 College is.. still College.

My phone started ringing. Was it my parents? I check my phone. It's an unknown number. I should probably not pick it up knowing about the new phone scam going around and all, but i decided to pick it up anyways. "Hello?" i directly questioned the person behind the other side of the phone. No sound. Is it one of those scams? i wonder to myself. "Hey. Sorry there. I didn't reconize you for a second" the person said. Now i was quiet. I don't reconize them at all. "Sorry, i can't seem to reconize you though. May you tell me who you are?" i question them. "Oh yes ma'am. This is Cargo" I stopped. I was thinking really hard who cargo would be. And suddently i remembered. "Really Xian?" i said. laughter came through. "Awh man, you caught me red handed Glow!" Glow was my nickname. You see, Xian is my childhood friend. Cargo was a code-word we used when we we're younger. "Indeed i did. You got a new phone number?" i asked. "Yup, i'm just calling around checking on y'all" Xian replied. "Well i am fine, thank you very much." I smiled at the phone. "That's good and all! How about college? is it going well for you?" Xian asked quite in a good mood. "Well... I don't really know Xian. It's just been really weird." "Weird, eh?" Xian says quite teasingly. "Is it weird for you to wake up and suddently know you're an adult?" Xian said in such a warm tone. "Pfft, as if. Well. If i'm being honest here, yeah. It does, it really does. I.. just don't know if i'm ready to be an adult, I mean i'm still childish, i still am attached to those edgy songs we used to listen to togethere and i still have some of my high school insecurities." I mumbled at least high enough for Xian to hear. "Cheer up! Pfft, i still can't believe we're having the EXACT same conversation as when you turned 18. Gosh, have some confidence. We're not gonna have this conversation every year. You're an adult now, even if you're proud or not, it will never change. Your deciscions are yours alone. I'll be here to support you and hear you out. If anything, i'll even help you make a choice sometimes. Alright miss babble mouth. I have to go joke around with my other fellows too, you know? So take care!"

"you barely let me speak but, thanks Xian. You're definitely harsh though. Toodles!" I cut the phone. "Xian is such a strong person sometimes. I guess she's right, no use dwelling on my adulthood." i sighed. Time really goes fast. But don't worry, your "friendly" college will mess with time however it likes. That was sarcasm. it'll only slow time down by a hundred while studying and speed time up when the deadlines start.

you know when I was like "What if romance bloom" yeah forget about it. I don't think so. My roommate already left to get her stuff. I better start making myself at home. An hour passes and before I know it, the welcome meeting at college has started and my roommate never returned. I run with all my might there. I reached it 3 minutes late but nobody noticed since there were too many students. "I wanted to announce that we will be dropping that"

Uh oh I skipped some of the speech. wait, I can just ask my roomate- I looked around the hundreds of folk. There was no roommate anywhere to be seen. "Well just my luck" I smiled dreadfully. "I would like to say that I expect all of you to behave well and study good for the exams. Now, I would like to go over some rules." the man at the head of the meeting is saying. He's a middle-aged man. Who I think is my principal. "NO exploring random rumors you've heard. It may be dangerous and a way for someone to kidnap or do their evil deeds on you."

"Okay, seems all normal" I say to myself.

"No going in the men's bathroom at the 4th floor. No matter what"

"Okay- wait what? I understood everything but why did he feel the need to say "no matter what"..? was that really needed? I thought it was just out of order but then he added that. well not like I was going to go to the men's bathroom anyways."

he just told normal rules that every other college would have and we ended the meeting. But, he then started giving our papers with the rules and told us to hang it in our room so we would "always remember." Uhm. ok.

just when I was going to go back to my dorm, my roommate came running to me. "HEY! COULD YOU PLEASE HELP?" she said panting.

"Help? Help what?" I said confused.

"My..." she said sad.

"Your?" i said concerned.

"My bag has been stolen!" she said.

"Wait your bag with your ID and Money?!" I said starting to stress.

"No...my bag with my dress.." she said.

"Your bag with your dress?" I said staring at her blankly.

"Ah, miss Amy" one of the teachers said.

"Yes?" my roommate turned to the teacher.

"I couldn't stop myself from overhearing the conversation" the teacher said.

"And?" my roommate said still sad.

"Your bag is safe, it's in the lost and found box. A student reported it." the teacher said smiling.

"OMG, I'M COMING MY BAG!" she ran trying to find the box.

"Miss Amy, do you even know where the box is?!" the teacher tried to scream at her. Amy sadly didn't hear and kept running.

"ah, well let's just wish her good luck." the teacher smiled at me. So my roommates name is Amy. Intresting. "Yeah.." I nodded. The teacher then left. I then realized. How did the teacher know her name? I'm guessing we have A LOT of students in our class, so how'd she remember amy out of everyon.. Wait. Actually. If I had such a weird student as amy, I would remember her name too." I said to myself. I then walked into the dorm chamber and went to my dorm. I then kept decorating my room with my items. Another hour passes and my roommate comes panting back. "I FINALLY FOUND IT."

I looked at her. "Wait, you used AN HOUR to find the box?" I said fully confused.

"Yes, I kept going in circles and lines!" she said.

"how is that even possible?" I said even more confused.

"I have an absolute HORRIBLE direction sense." she explained.

"Oh. okay." I answered. I had nothing else to say to her.

"by the way... I didn't attend the meeting.. so uhm. you know, do you uh, know what the meeting had to say." she said.

"I was 3 minutes late. So I skipped 3 minutes of dialogue." I said.

"I don't think dialogue is the correct word to say, but sure." she tried to correct me.

"Well if that's not the word, then I don't know what is" I answered.

"Oh well, continue." she said.

"Well he just asked of us to behave well and study and some rules. Just read that paper I stuck to the fridge. It includes all the rules." she started reading the paper on the fridge and left me alone. I then decided to play some computer games. A few minuets later, Amy comes into my room. "Hey uh, why is there a rule that says "You can NOT go to the school backyard dump place at night. no matter what." uh, why would anyone even go there?" she questioned me. "I don't know, they also said the same thing about the men's bathroom at 4th floor." I said.

She looked at me with big eyes.

"OMG." she said to me. I only looked at her blankly and confused. I also noticed she really seems like she likes to use the word "OMG" a whole lot.

"Did you know one of the college's mysteries lies there?" she said to me.

"One of the college's mysteries?" I looked at her.

What could this conversation possibly turn out to? I think we all can guess.
