The chosen one

My name is Brexlynn and today is my Nineteenth birthday, today Is the day I leave for college. I decided to go to a private college all the way in Seattle, I wanted to be as far away from my family as possible. From the day I was born my mom has been running my life, the older I get the more in understand why dad left us. I get up and walk to the closet to pick out my outfit so I can take a shower before my mom starts bitching at me for taking too long. It’s only seven in the morning but knowing my mom she expects me to be dressed and ready by now. I finally settled on a cute pink mini skirt and a black crop top, I knew my mom wouldn’t exactly approve but it’s my first day of college so I have to look good, right? I jump in the shower and turn the water as hot as it will go while playing pandora in the background. Once the water gets cold I step out and dry off paying extra attention to my hair. I get dressed, do my makeup, and my hair and head downstairs. No surprise, my mother is already up and ready tapping her fingers as if she’s been waiting for hours. She quickly looks at my outfit and wrinkles her nose in disgust. I roll my eyes and head to the buffet getting eggs and pancakes for breakfast. I am so glad we decided to stay in a hotel just outside campus. I get to move into my dorms today, as well as meet my roommate. As I look up from my food I notice a tall guy with big green eyes and olive skin on the other side of the dining area he looks to be a college student himself. He looks over at me, smiles and then stands up. “God damn he’s taller than I thought and his muscles are huge” I thought to myself. I quickly finish my breakfast and head upstairs to my room. If this is what the guys around here look like I am not wasting another second getting to my dorm. I load my bag into the trunk and wait as my mom pulls up directions to my dorm, and then we are off. The drive took about fifteen minutes, my mom didn’t say a word to me and I don’t know if it’s because she was pissed off at me or was just that ready to get rid of me. Either way I don’t care, I am so ready to be free of her. She pulls into a parking spot puts the car in park and shuts it off, I look over and I see her eyes are filled with tears and she pulls me into a hug. “I’m going to miss you so much, I can’t believe you’re going to college!” She sobs. I quickly pull away, “I know mom, but it’s not like we won’t call and text and I’ll be home for the holidays”. However if only I knew then what I know now... My mom smiles and wipes her eyes and helps me carry my stuff up the three flights of stairs to my dorm. I reach into my pocket and unlock the door and push it open with my hip, and that’s when I saw him.
