and I need to clear my head. Nothing a little sun, sand and waves can’t take care of. Who wouldn’t love living in a condo on the beach? I smile, turning my music up and rolling down the windows.
    Knowing what waits for me when I get home makes me happy. Pulling into the driveway to the condo, I already feel more relaxed.
     

 
    Chapter Seven
     
    Alexia
     
    The rest of my day was uneventful. My next class went by surprisingly well and I even paid attention in it. There were no assigned seats in that class either. I tried not to stress over my biology class the rest of the day and just went with it. No need to stress over something I can’t help. Maybe Phillip won’t call or text me to study today. I think I’m going to stay in the room and rest. It has been an exciting first day for me. I ate before I came back to the dorm so that I could just chill a bit and read. I don’t have much homework. A nap might be what this girl needs. Kristen isn’t here because she has late classes and now would be a good time for a nap.
    I lie down on my small bed and shut my eyes; yes, this is what I have been waiting on all day. I am almost asleep when I hear the door open. Kristen comes in being really hyped up and loud. She must be on a caffeine high. I guess my nap is over for now. Maybe I should head out for a drive and find a nice place at the beach to relax. I need to go find a chair that I can keep in my car so I can always have a seat at the beach.
    Kristen walks in with a grin on her face. She must have had a good day. “You look happy. How was your first day of classes?”
    “It was amazing. And I found out that the guy I hooked up with was in my class. I didn’t even know his name, but I found out what it was today. His name is Chris, and he has amazing body and blue eyes that can drown you. He asked me out again and I can’t wait to go.” Still smiling, she sits down on her bed.
    How nice it must be to be able to do what you want and when you want. I am afraid to let myself go around boys because it is best if they don’t get attached to me. I might die to soon, and that wouldn’t be fair to him. I know I should live everyday to the fullest, but I still feel guilty getting close to people. I don’t want them to feel bad when I die and leave them.
    I have had this fear, ever since I first got sick. Watching how sad my parents were when I could barely breathe did something to me. It would break my heart to leave all of the people I get attached to. My parents say that life must go on and that I should not fear this. They say that I’m easy to love and get attached to. I don’t believe them though because I really don’t have too many people in my life. I did that on propose.
    Kristen looks over and says, “Why so sad? It is good he asked me out. Most of the time guys will hook up me and move on, but this time, maybe it can grow into something good.”
    “I am glad for you and hope for the best with Chris. I will have to meet him if it will last awhile. When is the big date going to happen?” I smile at her so I can get myself out of my depressing thoughts.
    “He is taking me out tonight. Can you believe that? It surprised me too. I need to get ready now. He will pick me up outside the building in an hour. What should I wear?
    “Depends on where you’re going. Do you know where?
    “He said to eat and play putt-putt golf.”
    “Maybe you should go with some cute shorts and top to match. Sandals too.”
    “You are right. That sounds perfect. I know the best outfit for my date.” She goes to her little closet and pulls out these really cute red shorts and a black and red top to match. She looks up for my approval and I give her two thumbs up. She laughs and says that she has to run to take a shower.
    I wonder if maybe I should take that nap now, but I decide to go over my lessons from today. Right when I am almost done, Kristen runs back in to get dressed and fix her hair.
    She gets done and asks, “How
