Pushing my way through the pack of students, I managed to maneuver out of the registration building without getting elbowed in my sore ribs. It seemed like everyone’s mom had also reminded their kids to register today. This didn’t surprise me. If the other student’s parents were anything like mine, they’d have the same nagging memo that I got this morning. The envelope with the Northwestern seal probably barely left the postman’s hand before my mom was opening it. Frankly, I thought she was more excited about college than I was. In fact, I knew she was. I’d never let her know that, though. I supposed that would change now that I needed the outlet to spend time with Lacey. Something told me needing a spot to be with my girlfriend wasn’t the right reason I should be looking forward to college.

Pushing the detail out of my mind, I pocketed my class schedule. I looked up and groaned when Cooper’s familiar face appeared ahead of me. The guy was already reflecting his school spirit in the purple and white colors. His first stop must have been the gift shop. The dork.

“Drake.” He waved like we were friends.

I guessed we technically were since I called him for a favor. I didn’t think I had to get into the friendly act so soon, though.

As he got closer, his brows twitched up. Clenching my teeth, I could have kicked myself for not thinking about my face.

“Ouch, man. What happened?” he asked, studying my face from all angles.

Coming up with a suitable lie was easier than I thought, and I went in for the kill. “The girl’s ex-boyfriend came around last night.”

“Ooh.” He sucked in a breath. “That sucks.”

“Eh, no big deal. I’m sure they look worse than they are.”

The fact of the matter was my appearance was the least of my worries. I’d take a couple of bruises and a few cuts any day to be with Lacey.

“Well, I hope she was worth it.”

“She definitely was, and thanks for covering for me.” I held out my fist, and he pounded it.

“No problem. Happy to help. Hey, so did you end up getting the classes you wanted?” He pointed to the large brick building I came from.

I honestly did have a remarkably easy time picking out my classes. Undecided freshman were given the basic core classes for their first semester. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so placing me was pretty simple. College was always just the plan for me. By “plan” I meant my parents plan for me. “I did. Are you headed in?”

“Yep. Just checked out the building I’ll be housed in. Logan and I are roommates. Did you get assigned yet?”

“Yeah,” I said, thinking about all that housing paperwork I had to do when I was admitted at the beginning of the summer. Something else Mom made sure I was on top of. “Some kid from Australia. It will be interesting.”

“Yeah, it will be. It will open you up to some new experiences a bit.
