Chapter 1: Prologue


    Only two days till graduation and I will be free to explore the world without ‘my parents’ nagging on my


    ass. They can’t really stop me from going to college. They care too much about their reputation to stop


    me. Anyways mom and dad are my guardians so they can always give me permission for college as I


    am only seventeen. Yup! I started calling Uncle Dale and Aunt ire, dad and mom. Well I figured, why


    try to hold on to things and people who give zero shits about me. Now, Robert and Emma Cross are


    out of my life. Just one more year and they will be out of the legal documents as well.


    I have been waiting for this day for forever. I want to study literature. I had applied to some state


    colleges and I got epted in a few. But I am going to University of California, Berkley. The only


    problem, its way far away from here that I don’t think I will be able to visit Asher, Alec and others for the

    first year at least. The budget is really tight. I managed to save as much as I can for college but it’s


    never enough, is it. Dad is chipping in but I don’t want to put any strain on him. I mean Alec will be


    going to college next year. They will need money then. But dad being dad just won’t listen. I am moving


    to California in June, two months before the term starts. Why? Well I have to find a job to pay the rent.


    In short I have to sort everything out so I won’t be a bother to dad.


    The major bummer in me going to college is that Asher is really upset about it. He doesn’t want me to


    go that far or for the part, anywhere. He is not going to college as he has to be with the pack. He


    started working at a garage as soon as he graduatedst year. His parents, well they weren’t happy


    either. They were going on about breaking pack rules. But hey! A girl’s got her dreams to fulfill. Papa


    and Ryder are so happy for me. I will miss this ce a lot.


    Aaron on the other hand ising with me. He is going to the same university. He wants to study


    Computer Science. Carter was pretty cool about Aaron going to college. He is perfect for Aaron. He is


    very supportive. I wish Asher would have been a little bit epting. He wille around I guess. He


    has been a little distanttely. He is just upset I think.


    The only thing I regret more is that I won’t be here for Asher’s birthday. It’s on 30th September. I won’t


    be able to celebrate mine with him either as it is on 13th November. Well we have to make some


    sacrifices to achieve our goals in life. Aaron will be there with me though. I won’t be entirely alone. I


    hope Asher understands the situation.


    Dad has already found a ce for us to live. It’s a small apartment owned by a couple in their fifties.


    They live on the ground floor and we will be living on the first floor. There are two apartments on that


    floor so we most likely have a neighbor. I will be really busy the first two months as I will be doing


    multiple part time jobs to earn as much as I can before the term starts. After that too I will be juggling


    between job and college. It will take a lot of time to get settled in in the new environment. I hope Asher


    understands the situation and won’t be mad at me. I hope everything goes fine.
