As Life Goes: Gen. 5.5-Matthew
My first year of college went well. It took some adjusting
to get used to living in a dorm, but after about 2 months things started to
settle. My classes were a breeze, but they were only the freshman courses and I
suspected once I got into the classes dedicated to my major things would get
harder. I had decided on something basic like a business major since I’d be
running the grocery chain with Dad, both he and Mom thought that was a good
general degree.
Before I left, Dad had a talk with me to make sure taking over
the store in Riverview was really what I wanted. He wanted to make sure I wasn’t
feeling obligated to work in the family business. Truth was I hadn’t considered
any other options, I’d always assumed that what he wanted me to do. I assured
him I wanted to do this. I looked forward to taking over some of the operations
and helping grow Nature’s Way into a common household name, plus Dad was trying
to oversee all three stores. Mom helped some, but business wasn’t really that interesting
to her, she rather just keep the shelves stocked with her fruits, veggies, and
jams. Those jams were a big hit in the dorm. I made the mistake of sharing some
with my buddies and pretty soon half the floor was asking when my mom would be
sending more.
College life was fun. The stress wasn’t too bad, but when things
did get rough, working out was still a huge help.
The repetition of the
exercises helped and my buddies joked I had the cleanest room in the place. When
I’d come home on breaks, Kraig and I would still get together and hang out a
bit if he was home as well.
Dax had been stationed overseas and was loving it. Gramps
told me to make sure I was fully enjoying my college years since those were
some great years in his life. Grams reminded him that was only because he was
lucky enough to meet her. My second year passed fairly uneventful. I was taking Gramps' advice some. I did have fun, went to
parties, and dated a bit, but kept that casual.
My third year kicked off with a bang. The guys planned one hell of a welcome back party. Since we were legal, harder drinks flowed instead of just the keg. We were partying until nearly 4 am before I stumbled off to bed.
I was sleeping great until a loud scream followed
by a hard shove sent me falling to the floor.
“Who are you and what are you doing in my room?” the girl
yelled.
My head was pounding and I was still a bit groggy from last
night as I picked myself up off the floor.
“Get out!” she screamed again.
“Shh…can you not be so loud?” I groaned looking around. I
knew I was out of it last night so maybe I had wandered into the wrong room,
but as things started to focus I saw that it was my own.
“I…I’m calling campus security if you don’t get out now!”
“Um…hate to break it to ya, but you are in my room, and…” I
looked at her taking in her sleep wear which consisted of my t-shirt and a pair
of boy cut panties. I’d slept next to this all night and not known?! “You’re wearing
my shirt,” I finished, grinning broadly.
“What? No…” she mumbled to herself looking around. The anger
she had moments ago were replaced with embarrassment.
