not to imagine the nightmare of having to clean it all by tomorrow. But just as Evelyn was about to panic, a sudden cool breeze went through the room. Rather than be perplexed by how the sealed windows could let in such a draft, she was overcome by a feeling of calm.
“I can do this,” she whispered out loud. “I can be on my own.”
As Evelyn continued to unpack her things, though, she could not help but feel gloomy as she found pictures of her friends during her going away-party. Like her, they had lived in Jasper their whole lives and had gone to both high school and college together. And while there might be people in Montclair worth meeting, she could not imagine being as close to anyone like she had been with them.
Tucking the pictures away in her purse, she decided to get a glass of water from the kitchen. As Evelyn turned she was nearly frightened to death as a pale face rushed up to her.
“Oh my gosh! You must be my new roommate!” the girl said, giving her a hug. “I’m so sorry for scaring you! But I just had to give myself a cucumber lemon facial mask before the party tonight!”
“Oh…” Evelyn said, trying to lower her speeding heart rate. Gathering her wits back she held out her hand, “It’s okay, I just thought I was going to be alone. My name is Evelyn Springs, but most people call me Eve for short.”
The bubbly blonde slapped her palm against her forehead as she said, “Oh, hello Evelyn! Sorry! I forgot to tell RA that I’d be staying here again! I’ve been in the same room for the last four years but I didn’t get to graduate last semester! You know – cheerleading stuff got in the way of academic junk.” Taking Eve’s hand in a strong grip she added, “Oh and I’m Chelsea Richards! I-”
The short conversation was interrupted as Chelsea’s phone began to ring. Eve continued to move her things as the girl talked for hours on end on what she was going to wear to the party she had mentioned.
Great, my first day here and I’m already roommates with the type of girl I never liked in school. I just hope she isn’t too loud when I’m trying to study… Eve’s mental grumbling was cut short as Chelsea abruptly popped her head into her room.
“Hey! You should totally come to my friend’s frat party tonight! It’ll be tons of fun!”
Skeptical and drained from the day’s move, Eve said politely, “Sorry… I’m pretty tired… And I have class tomorrow…”
“Oh come on, Eve! That’s exactly why you should have some fun!” Chelsea exclaimed, pulling at her arm. “Trust me! It’ll be way better than spending your first night all alone.”
Eve tried to object, but knew that it was true. She was already a bit scared about being away from her family and friends, and there was no television or Internet to keep her busy at the moment. Dejectedly, she said, “Alright…”

She had only been at the party for twelve minutes and she was already regretting her decision. Not only was the alcohol here disgusting, but the boys here were as well. Eve had gotten hit on about three times since she’d walked into the door, and none of the offers were very good.
While trying to find a quiet place in the rowdy fraternity house, Eve was startled as she bumped into someone with a black candle.
“Sorry!” they both said in unison, knocking into each other’s heads as they both bent down to pick the candle up. Trying to laugh off her embarrassment, she introduced herself to him.
“I’m Ash Pierce,” he said, shaking her hand. “Hey you live in the Clover Apartments right?”
“Yeah, how’d you know? You psychic?” she asked jokily.
“Perhaps,” Ash said with a wink. “Actually, I just read the move-in sticker stuck on your jeans.”
Embarrassed once again, Eve blushed as she removed it. “Oh. Well it was nice meeting you. I think I’m going to head home.”
“Yeah, this stuff isn’t really my scene either,” he stated with annoyance, running a hand
