CHAPTER 7

  The first day of school was a roller coaster. We were required to complete the necessary registration before the end of the week, including submitting all the required documents and getting assigned to the dorm.

  I realized that private college came with a lot of rules; we couldn't wear certain types of clothes (like revealing ones, for instance) or leave school premises without an exit. I picked a dorm upstairs because I figured it would give me more privacy. The room had two bunk beds and was the first to arrive. I had the chance to pick the bed under.

  I grabbed it immediately and set up my things in my corner. It was a nice dorm room and I hoped my roommate would be cool and easy to deal with because the last thing I needed was someone or anything that would distract me from my goals.
