Vanessa's POV
The day has come for me to leave for college.
Books? Check.
Snacks? Check.
Clothes? Check.
Laptop (a birthday gift)? Check.
Something feels off.
Ah, my framed pictures from prom and graduation!
"Hurry up, Vanessa! Your plane leaves in an hour," Mom calls.
Jake and Aden are taking Jake's private jet, and Jake will pick me up in ten minutes.
I’ve met my roommate, Stacy, who has brunette hair and green eyes. Jake's roommate is Archer—a coincidence, huh?
Paul comes in to take my things downstairs. I look around my room, my bed bare and walls empty, except for sheets and blankets in the closet.
I’ll miss this place.
“See you for Christmas,” I say as I close the door.
“Oh, Vanessa, I’m going to miss you,” Mom cries, hugging me while Dad waits outside.
