2.

I woke up the next morning at 6am. I grabbed my shower products tote, towel and shower cover up with me to the co-ed showers. I got to the co-ed showers. As I went inside, I was the only one there.


I grabbed my tooth brush and started brushing my teeth. I heard someone singing in the shower to We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister. The water turned off and I spit my toothpaste out of my mouth and I looked in the mirror.


"I didn't know anyone was in here," I said. "Its all good. Are you a freshmen?" the guy with brown hair asked. "I'm a transfer student. I graduated at my Community College in Illinois with a AA in Lit and I came here to do four years of college," I said.


"Journalism?" he asked. "No. I'm becoming a writer like novels," I said. "Cool. Well I'm Conrad," he said. "Nita," I said. "Nice to meet you. Well I'm gonna leave you be," he said, leaving the bathroom.


After I finished brushing my teeth, I stripped down and took a quick shower. I started cleaning my body, my hair and even using my Summers Eve thing to keep my kooka cleaned. I started rinsing everything off my body.


I shut the water off and grabbed a towel for my hair and wrapped the shower coverup, I leave the bathroom and headed to my dorm. Julianna was already awake. "Morning roomie," Julianna said.


"Morning, roomie. Sleep well?" I asked. "Decent. How about you?" she asked. "Pretty good. Had weird dreams," I said. "About Declan?" she asked. "No. It was failing college dreams," I said. "That happens. I had dreams like that when I first arrived at the dorm," she said. I grabbed a pair of black jeans, bra and Nike hoodie and I put them on.



I got dressed and put eyeliner on. I put my Nike's on. My phone rings. "Hello," I said. "Hey, sis. You ready to get something to eat. Dorm food is nasty," Kyle asked. "Yes," I said. "Okay, see you in a bit," he said.


The call ended. "Who was that?" Julianna asked. "That was my brother. He's picking me up for breakfast like he said," I said. "Cool," she said. "I'll bring you something from there," I said. "Thank you. So what class do you start today?" she asked.


"English at Room 201," I said. "Cool, see you there before 8am," she said. I nodded, grabbing my book bag. I put my Nikes on and headed out. "Nita!" Julianna said. "What?" I asked. "Don't forget your key," she said. "Thanks. I better get a lanyard," I said, taking my key and put it in my purse.


I left the dorm building and went to the entrance area to meet up with my brother. I saw my brother's car coming. "Hey sis," Kyle said. "Hey brother," I said, getting in the car. "Sleep well?" he asked.


"Yes. How's living off campus?" I asked. "Good. We had a good party. Katz was there," he said. "That's cool. How's she?" I asked. "Good. She asked about you. She misses you," he said. "I miss her too. Will she be at the prep Rally for the first game on the season?" I asked.


"Yes, she will. Are you going?" he asked. "Yes. Does any of your friends know I'm here?" I asked. "Only a few know your my sister but they won't bother you. I'll tackle them senseless if they tried to date you," he said.


"Good idea," I said. Kyle pulls up to the diner not far from the campus. "This is the diner you told me about?" I asked. "Yes. Its one of the few diners that is open 24 hours," he said. "Cool," I said. "Also Katz works here," he said.


"Cool. Does she have class in the mornings?" I asked. "She has classes before noon," he said. "Oh okay," I said. Kyle and I sat down at a table. "Hey, Kyle," Katz said. "Hey babe," Kyle said. "Hey, Nita. How you been?" she asked.


"Good. I start at the University today," I said. "That's awesome. So Kyle your usual and for Nita, french toast with bacon?" she asked. "Yes please. Did Kyle tell you my favorite?" I asked. "Yes he did," she said.


"Thanks Kyle. Could I get a cinnamon roll to go?" I asked. "Of course. I'll be right back with your orders," she said. "Thank you," I said. Katz walked away. "Who's the cinnamon roll for?" Kyle asked. "Julianna. If that was alright," I said.


"Yes its okay. How was sleeping in the dorms?" Kyle asked. "It was good. Had dreams about failing college. Does that happen?" I asked. "It never happened to me. You've always had dreams like that," he said.


"I know. I didn't know if you ever asked that," I said. "Its okay," he said. "How's living off campus?" I asked. "I love it. No more college food," he said. "Lucky you," I said.


Half an hour later, Kyle and I got back to campus. I got Julianna's cinnamon roll in a 2Go box. "Thanks for breakfast bro," I said. "No problem. Have a good 1st day," he said. "Thanks. Have a good last 1st day of college," I said, hugging him.


I headed to my first class. I see Julianna waiting for me at the main entrance. "Hey, here go," I said, giving her the cinnamon roll. "Thank you so much," she said. "You're welcome," I said. "I got you a French Vanilla Mocha," she said.


"Thank you," I said. "Well hello, Nita and Julianna?" Declan asked. "Well hello," Julianna said. "Hi there," I said, smiling. "So you two are first to my class?" he asked. "Wait, your not a student?" Julianna asked.


"I graduated here last year and now I am an English Teacher," he said. "Wow," Julianna said. "Well didn't know that," I said. He unlocks his classroom door. "Feel free to sit anywhere," he said.


We nodded and sat in the back together. "So Mr. Loughlin," I whispered. "Mr. Loughlin's looks nice today," she said to me. I nodded. "Reminds me of Chris Colfer but with tattoos and a beard," I said. Everyone started coming in. I cleared my throat. We stopped talking about Mr. Loughlin.


"Morning. I am Declan Loughlin aka Mr. Loughlin. Today, I will be handing out a overview of my classroom. You will look these over and turn them in tomorrow morning," Mr. Loughlin said. He passed them out.


"When I call your name, just say here," he said. I looked at the Overview paper of the classroom. "Tina Archer?" he asked. "Here," Tina said. "Justin Bennet?" he asked. "Here," Justin said. "Natalie Danielson?" he asked. "Here," Nathan said. "Conrad Emerson?" he asked. "Here," Conrad said.


I looked over and see Conrad. He looked over and waved at me. I lifted my head up. "Lief Garrison?" Mr. Loughlin asked. "Here," Lief said. "Anita Marsden?" Mr. Louglin asked. "Here," I said. "That's Kyle Marsden's sister," one student said. "Julianna Moretz?" Mr. Loughlin asked.


"Here," Julianna said. "Is it true, Kyle Marsden is your brother?" Justin asked. "Yes, my brother's the Quarterback of the football team," I said. Everyone started asking me questions about my brother. "Okay, everyone, stop asking her questions about her brother," Julianna said. "Everyone! Stop asking Miss Marsden questions about her brother," Mr. Loughlin said.


Everyone stopped asking me questions about my brother. I looked at Mr. Loughlin. "Thank you," I mouthed to him. He nodded and smiled.


Hour later...


THe college bell rang. "Okay everyone you are free to go. See you all tomorrow. Please sign the overviews and return them. Have a good one," Mr. Loughlin said. We all got up. Julianna and I left the room last.


"Hey, I'll be right back," I said to Julianna. She looked at Mr. Loughlin. "Okay, I'll be a look out," she said. I went up to Mr. Loughlin's desk. "Mr. Loughlin?" I asked. "Yes, Miss Marsden?" he asked. "Thanks for stopping the class asking me question," I told him. "No problem. I notice that it was bothering you when they asked about your brother. Good thing you got a good friend in Miss Moretz," he said.


I nodded. "Well thats what I wanted to say," I said. "Okay, have a good day," he said, smiling. I smiled back and walked out of the classroom. I saw Julianna waiting for me. So was Conrad. "Hey, Nita," Conrad said, smiling.


"Hey, Conrad," I said. "How was the talk with Mr. Loughlin?" Julianna asked. "Just thanked him for stopping the class from asking questions about my brother," I said. "Thats good," she said. "So Nita, are you going to the Prep Rally on Friday?" Conrad asked.


"I might not since everyone knows that I am Kyle's sister," I said. "Okay. Well we can go to the library if you want?" he asked. "Sure. Julianna, you want to come?" I asked. "I can't. I got Biology to go to," Julianna said. "Okay, see you later," I said. "See you back in the dorm," she said. Julianna headed to Biology. Conrad and I went to the library.


We looked around. "Here, this is a good spot not to be seen," Conrad said. I sat down on the floor. He did as well. I grabbed a book to read.
