College lifestyle.

Olin College. Grafton, Massachusetts.

Ah, yes! Out of High school, out of the house! You've passed your pet dog onto your mom for the time-being, You've said goodbye to your local friends, and decided that you were going to take the smart road and go to college.

It is only as simply as that, am I right? Sure there's a little studying.. but it is basically four years to chill, have fun, work a late shift at the local cafe`.....




Wrong.


You're gonna have to put up with peers that you may not get along with, learn things that you will not see a point in learning! Work your tired butt off, study hard, and whatever else comes with college! Only God knows what's to come for you.

But hey, the best of us go through it one time or another. The good thing is that its gonna pay off in the end. But for now... you're gonna have to put up with the College lifestyle.

(Gah.. I was lazy, I'll get her into detail in her personality and history while RPing.. =D Still gotta make up the history.. ah i'll do it as i go.)

Zac snuck a quick roll of his eyes as he listened to his mother stutter on and on about.. well, nothing.
"And you'll need to take blahblahblah, and I'll make you room a nice blahblahblah, and not a thing will blahblahblah." He tuned out of his mother's words, but at the same time nodded his head and mimicked her expressions to increase the thought to her that he actually was paying attention.
"Yes, I know. Thank you. I agree.." He said all at once before quickly leaning forward and giving her a hug. She pulled away after about 20 seconds and handed him a raggedy cardboard box full of knick-knacks.
"Don't talk to strangers."
"Yes, mom..."
"Don't give yourself away."
"I know."
"No drinking."
"Alright."
"Call me every ni-"
"Okay, yes. Mom.." Zac placed his right hand on his mother's shoulder. "You are only 7 hours away. 5 if you speed... I'll be fine." He said, and with his mom's nod of approval, he turned around.
"I love you, Sweetums!" She called before running back into her car and pulling away. Zac winced at the sound of his God-forsaken nickname. He hoped no one had heard it, but the sound of people's subtle laughs confirmed his fear.
"Ah, well." He stood up straight away and gaped up at the huge building. He was finally there! College!

"You can always call me if you decide to come back next ye-" Dad was saying when I interrupted.
"Dad! I'll be fine! I promise!" I said and looked at him pleadingly.
"Tally, it's just hard on me, ever since your mother died I never know if I'm raising you right, if I taught you wrong from right-"
I tapped my foot, pursing my lips in annoyance. "Daddy! I'll be fine!" I said hugging him. Ever since mom died when I was 10 he had been so protective, and all, never let me leave home without giving me a lecture on careful driving, manipulative friends, and boys (ugh).
Always making sure I was safe. Like he was trying to prevent life from whisking me away into my own life. I smiled at my dad, a small tear slipping down my cheek, this was good bye, not for long I know, I was just very sentimental. I hugged him tighter. "I love you." I said smiling.
"I love you too." He said holding back the tears that were pushing free.
"I'll call you every night!" I promised. I turned and without looking back, grabbed my duffel bag, slipped over my shoulder, and held my art box (like from sisterhood of traveling pants) in the same hand, then grabbed my book bag and purse in the other, along with my big fluffy pillow stuffed under my arm.
"Sure you don't need help?"
"Positive." I smiled, walking on towards the doors. Some girls gave me and my fluffy pillow strange looks, yeah sure, it was polka dot, and very brightly colored. But my mother had given it to me, I hugged it protectively as I walked.

The jellybean of an car came to an stop as Demetri and a family friend came to the college. He opened the door and gave a sigh. Pausing he turned around to face his driver.

"Thanks for the ride, sorry my parents couldn't do this themselves." the driver smiled.

"Nah, nah it's fine! I actually quite enjoyed it." Demetri smiled back and went to retrieve his black trunk and trolley. He placed the trolley down on the ground first then asked for help for the trunk. The driver laughed as he got out and heaved the trunk out and onto the trolley. After strapping and securing the trunk Demetri shook the guy's hand and thanked him once more.

The man put a broad hand on Demetri's shoulder and wished him the best and if Demetri needed anything to call him. After receiving a number he nodded and started to walk away waving.

He paused looking at the grand building, to think he was going to live here. He decided to head tot the front office to receive information on where his room was and which building he was going to be at. Along the way he noticed a girl with a neon pink pillow with polka dots on it. He smiled and went about his business.

Zac was looking over a brochure of the college. He grasped it tightly in his hand and pulled it close to his face to read it. "Gosh darnit," He very slyly refrained from cursing. Clumsily, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of reading glasses. After struggling with the box, the brochure, and his glasses for a good minute, he stopped and looked ahead to see a girl passing by him with a very.. interesting pillow.
"Whoa," His eyes widened as he watched the pretty girl walk past him. His glasses were crookedly fallen down onto the end of his nose, his box was lodged under his arm, and the brochure was between his fingers in his other hand.
Of course, it didn't take him long to realize he probably looked like a complete idiot. Fast as he could, he scrambled backwards until he had his reading glasses off, brochure in the box. and box in both hands.
"Oi vey..." He muttered and began walking towards the office with his face semi-hidden. Surely a good half of the campus already thought he was a geek.

I giggled lightly as I saw the clumsy looking young man watching me. Well, that was interesting. I smiled lightly and continued walking. All at once everything began to slip from my clammy hands, I was so nervous even my hands were sweating. I gasped as everything fell to the ground, my art box popping open and spilling my art supplies. I groaned. A few people snickered and laughed, and others ran after stray pencils that rolled everywhere. Well, at least some people were nice here. I knelt down myself and straightened out my box, my pillow resting in my lap. I sighed, beginning to pick up the small objects. My duffel bag was untouched, it was the box which created the problem.

I ran my hand through my hair and bit my lip scraping up erasers, charcoal, pencils, scattered paper with drawings. This was a great first impression. Show them all how much of a klutz I am and scare them all way because I was almost as bad as a Jinx.

Zac was just about to enter into the main building when he heard the sound of something falling to the ground. Immediately following, he heard small items hitting the sidewalk. He raised his head and turned, just to see the girl he was looking at only moments earlier had dropped her items.
Without wasting a single second, he put his own box down on the ground and ran to the girl, then began quickly gathering all of her things with care. He managed to not make eye contact with the Girl, simply out of embarrassment of what she probably thought of him.

I smiled lightly when the young man (I would say boy, but he's more of a young man.. Sheesh I'm so used to saying boy..this sounds so weird lol) came over and helped me. "Thank you." I said, speaking to everyone who had taken the time to help me. I smiled, still picking up small items and dropping them into my box. I then looked around stray papers here and there. "ugh.." I sighed, standing up and chasing the papers around the front lawn, the breeze seemed to be playing a game with me. By the time I was done I was collapsed onto the grass and breathing hard, papers stuffed in my arms. I sighed, standing and walking back over, getting them into a neat pile and placing them inside the box.

Demetri turned to see what all the commotion was about but decided that everyone else got it and then entered the building. The lobby was quite crowed with, what he guessed, chatty freshmen, newcomers, and teary-eyed parents. Demetri went up to the front desk and saw a woman that that had one of the worst eyeliner jobs that he has ever seen. It looked like she just woke up a zombie and just sloppily put her face on.

"Hi I'm Demetri Morris. Freshman." She had a very high pitched, airy voice.

"Ah, okay, give me a moment." She searched through her papers.

Once he had gathered all of the pencils and items that the girl had missed, Zac stood up and handed them to her. "No problem," He answered with a half-smile. He continuously glanced over to my box to make sure nobody took anything from it.

I smiled and received the items he was handing me and smiled. Also receiving other drawing items from others. "Thanks." I said again looking at him and biting my lip, smling. Looking down, a little embarrassed at my clumsiness. I knelt down beside my box and dropped everything in. Shutting it and closing it securely. I sighed and stood up. Looking around me, then began to gather my armload of things.

The woman then began a questionnaire and Demetri answered them accordingly. After a about 15 minutes she was satisfied and then handed him his room keys.

"Alright hun you are in the Cowden Tower and it's going to be over there." He nodded and thanked her.

[No time to reply right now.. watching a movie with my mom! I'll reply later tonight. ;3]

Zac narrowed his eyes slightly. Didn't she already say that?.. he asked himself in his head. "No problem.." He slightly hesitated in responding. "I'll see you around." He concluded, letting his lips curl up into a smirk. He then took one last glance at her, and walked to his box. Once he had gotten it back in his arms comfortably, he walked into the main building. After waiting behind another boy for a couple of minutes, he watched the guy step away from the front desk. Zac then stepped forward.
"Hello, I'm a freshman.. Zachary Efron?" He said, resting the heavy box on the counter.
"Hi. Give me just a sec." The girl who.. seemingly resembled a Zombie, in Zac's eyes, began searching through some papers to find his. He patiently waited.

"Yeah.. see you around.." I said biting my lip. GOSH! I was such an idiot when I talked to boys! I thanked him twice... and barely said anything else.. I mean, I could have introduced myself maybe, or SOMETHING! I sighed and carried my bundle in through the doors and into the main building. I looked around and spotted the main office. I walked on in and saw that the other guy ahd beat me too it, and sat down on a bench and waited for my turn.

Demetri walked out some doors that were near the front office and exited. Alright now to find it. It shouldn't be too hard, the lady did just gave a vague direction to follow. As soon as he reached the payment he saw a large building. Demetri safely assumed that it was Cowden and walked right in.

(GARF! lol)

(Garfy reply! I put up a picture of what Demetri kinda looks like....more or less.)

(Please don't tell me he wears glasses. O.O)

"There you are," The woman spat out the words and handed Zac his room key. "You're in Cowden. It is right over there." She pointed Zac in the correct direction. He nodded and Thanked her, and then turned on his heel and exited the building. "Cowden..." He repeated in a murmur, glancing around the campus. Finally he saw a large building dead ahead. Assuming is was 'Cowden', He walked in it's direction.

"Hi I'm-"
"Crystal Landson, Yes I know, they sent a description of you to save me time.." The lady rolled her eyes as if it was obvious.
OK, that was a little odd. I just shrugged. She handed me a key and pointed in the direction of my dorm. "Cowden." (Or are the dorms seperated, girls on one side and guys on the other????) I nodded heading in that direction, following the guy from earlier. I walked carefully and balanced all my items nicely in my arms. (Shortness lol)

(Ummm....Not as big and ugly as the ones in the picture and usually they are not separated.)

As he walked in Demetri saw that it was crowded with students and chatter. He smiled, things seemed to be very lively here which was what he wanted. Growing in a house with only two constantly working parents was quite lonely.

He walked around until he found the stairs, he was in room 204. He rearranged his bag so it would travel easier up the stairs and off he went. He came tot he second floor and found his room quickly. He got out his key and unlock the door.
