Genesis

Beginning, never end.

It was always just me and Coop, no one else. Pre-school, all the way to high school, we were together. We split when it was time for university, and we were really far apart.

"Hey sunshine", he says to me, with his deep voice. It always gives me vibrations in my body, but I've never told him. "How's the new school hun?", I ask, with a huge smile on my face. He went on to tell me about his roommate, the pretty girls (which got me jealous), the workload and the loneliness. I told him about my life too, we shared some laughs with all that.

"I've booked you a flight, you'll be with me in two weeks"..

I froze. I got cold. I got hot. I couldn't understand anything, I'm not sure if I was supposed to be attached to him like this.

"Babe, are you there? Did you hear me?"

"Yes, yes I did. Are you sure?"

"Of course I am, don't you want to come?"

"Uhm, yes I do, where will I sleep?"

"Haha, that's a surprise. Can you start packing? I know how you are with clothes and shoes. You'll be here for the whole college holiday, so the months are ours"..

I'm panicking. I'm about to have a panic attack. I have to start preparing, I have to tell mom and dad..

"Okay, I have to go. I'm going to call you in exactly an hour, okay?"

"Okay, an hour sounds fine for me to calm down"..

He laughed at me and hung up. Is this what love is supposed to feel like? What was about to happen??

Let me stop being rude. I have completely forgotten to introduce myself. I'm Adelaide Murray. A mixed race girl from Indonesia. My Dad (Clifton Murray) is Jamaican, my Mom (Angela Murray) is Indonesian, that's where I was born. I have two older brothers (Jake and Tyler), and I am the last born child. My parents own a trucking company, and it's been running for 24 years now. In conclusion, they are millionaires.

I just finished high school and I am in university (or as we all know it, college) studying towards a degree in Medical Microbiology. I really don't want to be a doctor, I want to study about all the diseases in the world that people don't know about, and help them get knowledge about them. I'm spoilt and I hate it, I really wish I could just get a day job or something, to be like everyone else!

About Coop. We grew up together, our families have always been one, since we became neighbors many years ago. There's not one ceremony or celebration that we've missed for each other, it's a "through thick and thin" situation. Things are getting different now between us, I'm not sure if it's in a good or bad way. I'm so eager to find out, but how should I approach the situation?
