First semester…

“Is this right? This doesn’t look right. Are you sure it’s right?”

My mother has been frantically checking to make sure we’re going in the right direction ever since we arrived on campus. The fact that my acceptance letter came with a map and we were here not a month ago for orientation, during which I got a further detailed map with a big old star on my dorm, doesn’t seem to provide any comfort. She’s absolutely confident I’m going to get lost in the city, and she’s never going to hear from me again. It’s supposed to be my parents setting me off on my own as I start college, reassuring me I can do this, and I have the skills and emotional stability to handle everything to come.

Not so much.

Instead, I’m the one trying to keep them calm and let them know I won’t end up on a statistic they’ve been frantically studying all summer. I don’t know what happened to them. They were always so calm and put together. But as soon as it sank in that I was moving out of the house and starting college, that all went out the window. Suddenly the reality of me growing up, at least a little, sent them into panic mode. They suddenly began trying to stuff as much of nurturing and wholesome family time together into every second of the day as they possibly could. That meant my summer after senior year of high school was largely spent on family road trips and a rotating schedule of family movie nights, game nights, and outings.

We’ve always been a family who spends a lot of time together and enjoy our activities, but this got to a touch extreme. I think I’ve played more games of Monopoly in the last three months than I have in my entire eighteen years of living combined. All those family experiences have become a little more interesting, though, now that Uncle Anthony is officially dating Bree. Not that anyone didn’t know that was coming. They’ve been enamored with each other since the first night they met. The relationship announcement just made things official.

Whenever she comes over, we go about whatever we’re doing like there’s nothing hanging over our heads. They act like I never knew Talon like he hasn’t been gone from my life since prom night. That’s how I prefer it. The last time I saw him, he was walking toward the elevator in the hotel, Samantha wriggling along behind him. He didn’t show up for the last week of school and didn’t walk for graduation. As far as I’m concerned, I never did know him.

“Is this the right building? It doesn’t look like the right building. Can you see the sign on it?” Mom asks.

“Mom, it’s the same building it was when we came for orientation. The sign is in the same place as it was then.” I point up toward the name of the dorm carved into the stone along the side of the building.
