I was getting ready for bed when my mother came into the room.
“Ready for college?” she asked, sitting up in bed.
“I'm a little nervous” I confessed.
“This is normal. The first days are always scary.”
“You've never been to college, mom!”
“But everything new is scary or insecure.”
“True.”
“Don't worry, daughter. You'll do great! You're a very smart girl.”
“Yeah, we'll see...”
“Especially since you'll have Isabeli around.&rdq
I hurried around the place looking for Angela and couldn't find her.“What the hell!” “Do you need help?” I turned back when I heard a thick voice. A dark skinned boy was sitting on the couch. He is cute. I already found one to tease Daniel.“Do you know where Angela is?”“She had to go out.”“Great!” I said, stressed.“Is there something I can help you with?”“Do you have any poison?” “What?” he asked laughing.“Forget it!”
The first day of school is finally here. I don't know whether to be happy about this or scared. Happy that I am now officially a veterinary student or scared of the so-called hazing. Gabriel said that he won't miss it for the world and when he says this he smiles in a way that I don't like at all.I went with Isabeli to the campus, but inside we separated because our classes are in different areas. I followed the papers indicating the way. Gabriel had said that usually the first year's room is on the second floor, but that it could change. So I decided to follow the directions, so I don’t get lost.There were too many corridors. Not to mention the impolite people who almost ran over you. I finally arrived at my classroom and there were already some people inside. I sat in the front row, but not the fir
They helped me onto the first guy. There were two veterans holding my hands, one on each side. I was stepping on the boys' backs, scared to death of falling or hurting someone. Then I got to the end and one of the boys helped me down. How tense! “Thanks for the help” said André. “Now let's go girls!” “You're kidding...” I said tiredly and he laughed. “Boys, stand behind each other and spread your legs. You'll go underneath.” I rolled my eyes. All I wanted in the world was to get down on my knees and crawl under someone's legs. After this deplorable thing I had to do, they made us beg for money on the street. Not very willing. That's what I f
The week went by too fast. There was one day left before the beer party. Isabeli was constantly pestering me to go to this crap. I don't like places with lots of people! Doesn't she understand?“Please, Lara! I can't go alone. I don't know anyone.”“You didn't know anyone in your class?”“Some people, but they won't go. Please!” “If you don't know, you have to buy tickets, and they're already gone, because it's tomorrow.”“I know, but I bought two tickets.” “You what?”“I already bought your ticket.”
We went in a cab. Isabeli was very excited and all I could think about was my bed waiting for me at home. The car stopped in front of a party house. We got in line. While we were waiting to get in, I observed the place. It was big and with lots of colored lights.I am already changing my mind.Isabeli handed our invitations to the man at the door and Gabriel also handed his. As soon as I set foot inside the place, I felt like going home. It was crowded! Lights flashing, people, lots of people.I grabbed the hand of the person next to me as I felt panic rising.“Relax” said Gabriel. I let go of his hand in
I tried to answer, but I couldn't. I was shocked! I was shocked! Did I do something to make him understand that I wanted this? “Ahm...” I scratched my head. “I'm sorry, Gabriel, I'm confused now... I didn't imply any of that, did I?”“No. I'm sorry, it's just that you were nearby and had just faced the most imbecilic guy for me. I must have gotten it all mixed up. You won't be mad at me, will you?”“No. But you have to promise that it won't happen again.”“I promise!”“Larissa makes up a lot of things, but she didn't lie about me having a boyfriend.”“I'm sorry...”
I opened my eyes slowly and felt a strong nausea. I looked around and didn't recognize the place, in fact, I had seen these lamps when I was in the hospital. My eyes widened. Hospital? I looked around and then saw someone I knew and sighed. Gabriel approached the bed and smiled slightly. “What happened?” I asked. “You got sick at the party.”I frowned. “Are you feeling well?”“I feel nauseous...”“It'll get better.”“What happened? I had a strange dream...”
I was released from the hospital the next day. Daniel came with me to the sorority house. He talked to Angela about what had happened and that he didn't think it was safe for me to stay there, because that guy could find me or something worse.While he was talking to her, I went to pack my things and talk to Isabeli. She was sitting on the bed when I entered the room. As soon as she saw that it was me, she stood up.“Are you ok?”“Yes, I am now.”“I'm sorry, Lara. I shouldn't have left you.”“Especially not for a guy, right?”“I'm sorry... I never would have imagined something like this. I feel terrible about what
