JUNIPER
After I moved the last of my stuff to my new dorm, I took a moment to look around. It was small and all mine, but it was also strangely quiet. It was both nice and a little unnerving. I wasn’t used to having a place to myself. Even when I was a child, my parents often rented small apartments where we would share a space to save money, since we never stayed for more than a few months at a time.
This was the first place I could truly call my own. Despite the barren walls and small space, it was my own.
I checked my phone, hoping for an update from Ethan, but there were no messages. I put the last of my stuff away and sent Axel a quick message, letting him know I was heading back to Ethan’s apartment.
Ethan’s apartment was close to the school. It was a longer walk than to the dorm
