"So do you have everything packed?" Mom asked as I brought the last bag downstairs.

"Yes, mom I have everything. I promise I'll be fine," I told her.

"You know that you don't have to stay at the school you can always come home whenever you want to," She said with tears swelling up in her eyes.

"I know mom," I smiled as we walked out to the car and put my bags in the back.

"I know, I know, sorry sweetie I don’t mean to get so worked up. You’ve just never stayed out of the house for a long period of time before,” She said and I got in the passenger seat and buckled up.

It’s Saturday morning and dad was already at the school and waiting for us. I didn't bring a lot of my things because of being so close to home that I could just come back at any time. But we just took the car so we could bring everything at once. So it took all of a two-minute drive to the school. There were a couple of the kids that lived in the dorms walking around when we pulled in and my dad had us pull right up to the doors of the dorms. I got out and garbed the majority of my bags so that mom and dad wouldn't have to do as much.

"Do you remember where your dorm is?" My dad asked me shutting the trunk of the car.

"Yeah, it's on the second-floor room 201," I repeated and pulled out the key that my dad gave me earlier that week for my dorm. Even though I meant to go to see my dorm and who was going to be living with me I just didn't have the chance to do it. I was actually doing most of my packing this week if that surprises you at all. I raced up the stairs and then walked down the hall until I found my room number. And decided to wait there for my parents so I didn't have to prop the door open.

You would think that I would ask my dad who I was going to the dorm with, but I never did. I don't know if it was because I wanted to find out for myself or if I was just lazy and didn't feel like getting yelled at by a teacher for being late to class.

"What took you so long?" I ask as they finally got to my dorm room.

"We're not as young as you are Sasuke," Mom smiled up at me.

"Well you're still younger then I am dear." My dad chuckles a little and mom pushes him a bit.

“Says the one that looks to only be in his mid to late twenties,” Mom comments snickering as a playful smirk dance across her lips.

I laugh a little at them bickering and open my door to the dorm. The room was clean and my side of the room had nothing on it. Whoever my roommate gave me the bed by the door and he seemed to like the color blue by the look of his blanket on his bed. It was multiple shades of blue in a zigzag pattern. The window was open and the morning sun was making it warm in the room for being September it was a nice morning. You could wear a t-shirt if you didn't want to carry around a sweater for the rest of the day. You could definitely tell that it was cooling off though. Though I didn’t mind, I have a hard time sleeping with heavy blankets on even in the winter I get so hot.

"Uha it doesn't seem that he's here right now," My dad said as he set down the duffle bag that he was carrying.

"Who is my roommate?" I ask curiously.

"You haven't asked me all week and now that we've gotten everything in here you're interested in who is your roommate?" My dad comments with a bit of a smirk.

"Yes," I answer simply with a nod.

My parents laughed, "Why don’t you try and guess,” Mom smiles at me as she took my sheets out of my big bag and I took the duffle bag that dad set down on my bed and helped mom make my bed.

“How am I supposed to know? I know my class is small but you could have pared me with anyone in the whole school,” I mention.

“Na I wouldn’t be that mean. I put you with someone you know,” Dad responds and I look over at him to see him smirking at me.

“Liz lives at home and I know you don’t allow girls and guys to dorm in the same room…” I thought for a minute as mom and I finished with the sheets, “It’s not Sean is it?” I ask. Would dad have made him switch rooms after what happened? Of course, Andrew wasn't directly involved with it. Only Sam and Nick. And they were suspended for a week. They weren't even allowed on the school grounds till Wednesday.

Dad shook his head, “No it’s not Sean. Which reminds me, why were you two fighting a few days ago? I thought you two were best friends when you were kids.”

“I think that it’s more so just the people that he had been hanging out with,” I mutter not even really thinking. Though we bickered with each other even with him at our house for a few days. Dad just let him come back to the dorms yesterday. My knees were healing up just fine. They weren’t hurting as much anymore, but there were some wicked scabs on them.

“I talked with Sean’s foster parents and they said that Sean is joining the swim team at this school so the group he's hanging out with could just be teammates from the swim team,” Dad explained.

I wonder how long Sean’s been with his foster parents. I didn’t even know that he was in foster care till Sean was in the hospital because of the concussion. I was nervous to ask him about it though. I didn’t want to upset him.

Mom and dad help me get my bed set up and the rest of my clothes put away in my dresser. I told them that I can find a place for the rest of my stuff.

"Alright hon you have a good time and get to know your roommate," My mom said and hugged me.

I followed them down to the car and gave them both a hug before they got in the car and went home. After they left the school grounds I went back into the dorms and back to my room. I slowly put my clothes away on the side of the dresser that was empty. The breeze that was coming in the window was nice. I got everything that I brought put away or in a good spot like under my bed. It kept the room clean and what was left was in boxes so it was organized under my bed.
