I just got the worse news I could probably get in my current situation; I was fresh out of high school, still 18 for another few months, fairly tall at 6 foot, athletically built but not all big muscle type that came from playing tennis and baseball, short brown hair, light hazel eyes that turn a bright bluish green when I am happy, a light green brown when I am sad, and dark brown when I am pissed. I was just another jock with a brain other than the eyes that acted like a fucking mood ring that is. I had just drove 1800 miles from Texas to get to my dream college on the west coast just to find out that the guy that did the paper work for my full scholarship didn't get the paper work over to the housing department for my room and they didn't have any rooms left so I was basically shit out of luck. You can guess what color my eyes were when I came crashing through the doors into the court yard yelling out a loud "FUCK!!!" and not caring who around me outside heard or that some of them were not staring at me like I was a freak now. In case you haven't figured it out, my eyes were dark dark brown.
Just then my phone rang, at first I was annoyed but after fishing it out of my front pocket I saw that it was my Mom calling,
"Good, someone to vent to"
I said to myself while pressing the send button. "Hey Mom," I said while I walked over to sit on a empty bench under a shade tree a few feet off.
"Drew! Did you get into your dorm room yet, have you met your roommate yet," my Mom rattled off quickly with the excitement evident in her voice.
"No Mom, something got screwed up with the paper work and they didn't have me down for a room and they are all out of rooms."
"Wait, What, where are you suppose to stay then," she said loudly enough that I had to move the phone away from my ear.
"I don't know yet Mom, they said that they can deposit the money for the room and board part of the scholarship into my account to pay for off campus housing but that can take anywhere from a week to a month or more for that to happen they said."
"Oh honey I am so sorry, how about I wire you the money for a hotel and you can stay in that until the money comes through," she said.
"What no Mom, you're not going to pay for a hotel room for me, we don't know how long it will take to get the money back. Plus I don't want you having to work double shifts just to pay for it, I know money has been tight and you have worked hard to keep a roof over our heads and pay for my tennis lessons these last few years since Dad died but I can handle this on my own."
"Well what about UT, can you still take their scholarship to play tennis or baseball, they were both full rides to you know and then you wouldn't need to pay for a dorm since you can just move back in."
"No Mom I don't think I can still get the UT athletic scholarships this late, plus we talked about this already, I wanted to come here for the better degree plan they have here, that's why I worked so hard on my grades so I could get the academic one to here."
"Ok I understand but where are you going to stay until the money comes through," she asked with a worried voice.
"Well I don't want to waste the money I have saved up on a hotel and that would only last a week tops anyway, so unless I find a job faster than planned I will probably just sleep in my car and take showers at the gym and laundry at a mat both on campus. Either that or I could find a camp ground and pitch a tent; I have my camping gear with me."
"Are you sure honey, I don't really like the thought of you sleeping in your car or a camp ground."
"Mom it's not like I haven't before, I spent whole summers living out of a tent at the lake before remember, so really it's no big deal."
"Ok honey, if you insist, call me later tonight once you have figured something out, love you." She said sounding defeated and a little scared at the same time.
"Bye Mom, love you to," I said while hanging up the phone and putting it back in my pocket. My mother had always supported me and we were close enough to be considered good friends and not just a mother to me but sometimes she let her motherly worrying war with her resolve to let me grow up and be on my own for awhile. She had done pretty well with me leaving for college so far away, of course she hoped I would of stayed local and with the UT but that isn't what I wanted. I wanted to come to the school with the best people teaching in the field I wanted to go into and it didn't hurt that the school was a short drive to the beach in warm Cali either. But my Mom supported my decision and only every now and then would let slip a comment about going to UT.
I was so lost in thought about what I was going to do when I almost jumped a full foot off the bench when someone beside me spoke to me, "Sorry about your bad luck," a sweet voice said.
Looking over next to me I noticed a beautiful long haired brunette sitting right next to me but with her legs off the other side of the bench, how the hell did I not notice her sit down, "God you scared me, I didn't realize anyone was sitting down here," I said.
Laughing she said, "its ok I was kind of being sneaky about it, I was snooping on your call and then you just looked so sad that I had to come sit down"
"Oh yeah well it's just my luck, drive halfway across the country to get to a school that can't do their paper work right which leaves me without a dorm room and nowhere to sleep."
"Sometimes these things happen, you just have to hope that another door opens somewhere else," she said sweetly.
