College Mysteries

It was the year 2022, I just graduated from high school! Finally, me Julie, an adult! Well, I have college to go through, but I am 18, so technically, I am an adult. Oh, and guess what? I got a scholarship to a really good school in California! I want to be a surgeon! I've always wanted be one too. That means a lot of school, so I don't kill anyone. That means I'm not going to see my family for a long time. I'm going to miss them so much! I don't think I'm ready to leave for this long, but it will be totally worth it! And I'm also going to have to make brand new friends, which won't be the easiest thing in the world. But I think I'll manage.

I know this isn't that big a deal, but I feel like telling you about it. Anyway, I have a boyfriend, like I said before, NOT a big deal. His name is Jonnie and we've been friends since 2nd  grade, so we are really close. And he is also going to a different school to become an engineer. Which is pretty cool.

Today is the day I'm leaving! Saying goodbye is going to probably the hardest thing I've done in my life! I have two sisters, their names are Anna and Carys, Carys being the younger one at 11, and Anna at 16. Saying goodbye to my family was really difficult for me. Saying goodbye to my parents was the hardest thing ever! I've been with them my whole life, and now I'm leaving them for so long! After saying goodbye, I finally jumped in the car and was on my way to college. The drive was tedious, I feel like it took 2 days to drive 12 hours, when I finally got to a hotel, I was exhausted! I have never driven for that long, non-stop.

When I got into the hotel, it smelled like mothballs! Believe me, it was not a good stench to breath in at all. The beds were like the beds that are folded into couches. And the sheets were really thin, but it was the most I could afford. I slept horribly, and I was on the road again.The rest of the drive was not that bad, I just listened to music and tried to stay awake. When I finally arrived at my dorm room, I looked like a monster. A really tired monster.

The girl I was sharing my dorm room with was named Katy. She seemed really sweet, she was wearing a purple shirt with blue jeans. She also wore glasses that were way to big for her face, but she was really pretty. She was also very perky, every word that came out of her mouth came with excitement, which woke me up a little bit.

When I finally got to school the next day, it looked huge! When I got inside, it looked even bigger. So I had no idea how I was possibly going to make it to class on time. After asking 10 people to direct me to were I was supposed to be, I found my room, 124. It was a room that looked like it held a dark secret, a secret that if it was discovered, something very horrible would happen. The teacher looked at me and smiled a grotesque smile. I just looked away. As I was peering around the room, I saw a difference in the wall, I walked over, and started feeling the wall for any clues.
 "Child," the teacher said in a chilling voice, " have you ever heard the story of the black cat, how curiosity kiiilled it?" She hissed.
