On Clearance (PT. 1)

MEG:

College.

I’ve looked forward to this day since I was 13 years old watching the High School Musical scene, where they graduate high school.

I had designed my dorm and everything.

Obviously high school wasn’t at all like High School Musical. Lots of things had gone wrong.

The kind of things that send you plunging face first into an emo/grunge phase.

“Meg!”

I snap back to reality at dad’s voice.

Where am I again? I think to myself. Right.

I’m standing on the familiar ruby, brick steps waiting for dad to grab the camera.

“Yeah?” I reply.

“Come here!” I groan before hesitantly walking through the doorway.

“Dad! I have to get going and-“

Hes holding a yellowish, tear stained, aged photograph

It’s of me and Tom.

We look so happy, he has his arm around my shoulders.

The date on the back reads “March 29th 2012”

I smile to myself.

HONK HONK “THE BUS IS HERE!”

“I gotta go! Bye dad love ya!”



The bus ride here was long and exhausting.

I reach into my pocket. I brought the photo with me. I’m not sure why, but for some reason it gives me butterflies in my stomach. I remember when Tom and I broke up, I had blasted “Last Kiss” and “Dear John”.

I smile and check my schedule, “dorm number 100” is etched in the smallest handwriting I’ve ever seen. I’m looking forward to meeting my roommate.

I hope it’s somebody somewhat like me.

I climb the stairs. My heart thudding so hard in my chest, that I’m sure everyone can hear it.

Finally, I reach the door marked 100.

I turn the knob and-

TOM?!?!
