My roommate Lilith is still passed out. She got in pretty late last night, so it works out that she doesn't have class this morning. She swears she's a heavy sleeper, but I still tiptoe around getting ready anyway. "First day of college, Nana. Wish me luck," I murmur, brushing my fingers over a framed photo of my Nana sitting on my study table. Her warm brown eyes stare back at me. I wonder sometimes if she's proud of me now. "I'll study hard...but not too hard. These human guys won't know what hit them," I promise her. "Love you, Winston. Try not to miss me too much today." I give my teddy bear's head a little pat. Lilith's got a huge mirror mounted near the door, so I take a second to check myself out before heading off. "Oh, hello there," I say to my reflection. "Hey, sexy beast." I make finger guns at myself and wink. Yeah, it's ridiculous, and I don't actually think I look sexy, but Nana always said if you tell yourself you look good enough times, eventually you believe it.
