Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)
Chapter 67: Welcome Weekend
EMMA’s POV :
The first week of college was a rush of classes, people, names, places, and feelings.
After lan went back to Georgia, it finally hit me, I was alone in this big, big world.
Thankfully, Sophie and her brother Tristan were kind enough to keep me company everywhere I went.
We attended days’ worth of seminars, picnics, icebreaker games, tours, and parties during Welcome Weekend.
Every day we were meeting new people and we heard every kind of advice available.
"Be careful of the freshman fifteen, it’s real,"
"Make sure you eat and drink plenty of fluids, the clear kind,"
"Listen to your professors, they will change your life,"
"If you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it,"
And then, the advice I dreaded the most, "Your social life is just as important as your academic life.Make sure that nothing is holding you back and you're putting yourself out there,"
"What are some things that would hold me back?"I asked.
"Things like, feeling homesick, isolating yourself, or long distance relationships,"they would reply.
I never knew that being in a long distance relationship was such a bad thing, especially in your freshman year of college.
As soon as I told people about it, their reactions were pretty much the same: "High school sweethearts? Aw, that's cute.But long distance relationships don’t work, sweetie,"
Sometimes I felt like smacking these people in the face and saying, "You don’t know my story! You don’t know what lan and I had been through! We're gonna make it!"
But I didn’t wanna look like a lunatic, so I'd just nod politely and smile.
"Don’t listen to these people.I think it’s great that you and lan are doing long distance.It’s the test of true love,"
Sophie winked at me.
Sophie and I had just finished our first week as college freshmen, so we went out to celebrate at this college bar that everyone kept dishing about.
It was a cool bar, it reminded me a lot of the bar in Emory where lan and I first met.
I got all sentimental every time I thought of lan or heard someone mentioned his name.
Quickly pushing the negative thoughts aside, I smiled at Sophie.
"Thanks, Soph, I think so too,"
"Trust me, they're just jealous of what you have.They wish they have someone that loves them and waits for them back home,"Sophie was so sweet.
I felt like I struck gold on the roommate front.She lifted her drink and we clinked glasses.I was smiling at her and she smiled back.
We were having a sisterly moment, when Tristan decided to join us.
"Hey ladies, what are we talking about here?"he asked.
"Tampons,"Sophie replied.
"Okay then,"Tristan grabbed his drink and got up on his feet.
"Just kidding, sit down,"Sophie laughed.
Sophie and Tristan were absolute sibling goals.
They were so similar, yet so different.
Sophie was outspoken while Tristan was soft-spoken.
