Chapter 25

MOM CAME over around noon. She wore blue jeans and a T-shirt and had her hair pulled back in a ponytail. She planned to drive to campus, but I told her that I was usually going to ride the bus to school, so she wanted to take the bus too. She was really excited, and I couldn’t help but tease her.

“Oh, this brings back so many memories! Tor, you’re gonna love college. This is so much fun!”

“Mom, calm down,” I said quietly, glancing around. No one was looking at us, but I felt self-conscious. Mom always was kind of a spaz when she got excited, but it was also why we had so much fun together.

The orientation was boring and Mom and I skipped out of the campus tour. We sat outside and watched people and talked. I scheduled my classes, and we went to the bookstore and got my books. I was surprised by how much the books cost and fortunate that Mom put the bill on her credit card. We got home a little after four and we sat and talked, waiting for Wesley to come home.

“You should join some clubs too. That’s a great way to make friends. I’m sure they have a history club or something. It’ll be good, too, because you can talk to others and see if you wanna major in education or if you wanna do straight history. I was in a nursing club at school and also the anthro club. Oh! Maybe you could join the newspaper too. I worked at the paper and it was so much fun!”

“You wish you were still in college, don’t you?” I asked, after listening to Mom’s suggestions. She was outgoing and popular; she liked to be involved in everything.

“Maybe, a little bit,” she agreed. “College was just so much fun! Your dad and I went to the same school and he was on the newspaper too. I had the time of my life then, so it’s all happy memories for me. And now my little boy is all grown up and going off to college! I can’t help but be excited for you.”

I laughed and Mom patted my head. It was getting close to six and Wesley would be coming home soon. I stood up and Mom followed me to the kitchen, where I took the salmon fillets and fresh broccoli from the refrigerator. Mom kept talking as I pulled out a box of rice from the pantry and measured two cups into a saucepan.

“Oh baby, you don’t know how much I’ve missed your cooking,” Mom said, watching as I cut up the broccoli. “Well, you too. I guess I’ve missed you too,” she corrected with a laugh. “Wes doesn’t know how good he has it… eating like a king every day!”

“Yeah, he actually does. And he appreciates it,” I teased, giving Mom a broccoli stalk to nibble on.

“Oh yeah, I was thinking, you should join the…. What do they call it? It’s letters, but… um, I don’t know, it’s like a gay club or something.
