I
find Michelangelo Hall with no problem and as I am getting out of my car I look
up at the building that I will be calling home for my first year at
college. It almost looks like an old
Victorian mansion but way bigger. There
is a statue of the angel Michael near the front door of the building. I walk into the main common area of the
building, which is bustling with RA's and new students. I have never seen so many people congregating
in one area before. I must have had a
lost look on my face because a bubbly blonde girl comes up to me.
“Hi, my name is
Ally. I’m one of the RA’s for this
building. Do you have a room assignment
here?” She says with a smile on her face.
“Yes, I was told that I
was assigned room 313 for this school term,” I said smiling back at her. I sense that she is a nice and innocent girl
with only the best intentions at heart.
“That is awesome because
I’m going to be the RA on that floor,” Ally says almost jumping up and down where
she was standing in front of me.
“That is pretty awesome,”
I say trying not to sound irritated by her overly cheerful nature.
“Do you need help
getting your belongings up to your room?” She asks me.
“Yes, that would be
nice,” I say.
“Okay, let me get one of
our strong male RA’s to help you. I
think Brad is available to help you. Hey
Brad! You mind helping this girl get her belongings up to her room?” Alley
yells across the room.
A young man with blonde
hair and the most piercing blue eyes that I have ever seen turns around at the
sound of his name. He looks from Ally to
me and a smile crosses his lips.
“Sure, I always enjoy
helping the new residents get settled into their new living space,” Brad says
walking up to us.
We walk outside and go
straight to my car. Brad lets out a low
whistle when he sees the vehicle that I am driving.
“Nice ride. You must come from a very rich family,” he
says running his hand over the hood of the car.
“No, I was raised in a
monastery with monks and nuns. I had to
save up and work hard to get this bad boy,” I said walking to the trunk and
unlocking it.
“Nice. I like a woman who works hard for everything
she wants,” Brad says giving me a wink while pulling one of my bags out of the
trunk.
I reached in and grabbed
another bag out. We pull out the four
bags that I brought with me; go inside the hall, and head up the stairs to the
third floor. We get to room 313 and stop
so I can get the key out and unlock the door.
The room was a little smaller than the room I had at the monastery but
it doesn’t bother me.
“Well, I guess that’s
everything. I guess I will see you
around campus,” Brad says as he waves and leaves my room.
I sigh and then start to
unpack everything that I brought with me.
