  "Tricia? Tricia! Hurry up, baby. Today's a big day for all of us." My Mum said shrilly.

  Her voice echoed so loudly from the living room, and I feared it was going to bring down our storey building. She's the paranoid one, unlike my Dad who's out working all the time. I can't help but think he and work were created on the same day. He's barely around. Most times,he'll come, and then,go all again.

 ...So annoying....

  "Oh, Tricia," My dad followed almost immediately." Come on downstairs, Honey. It's past seven already." He announced.

  Argh! Why can't those two just stop? It's not like I'm getting married or anything. I sighed, rushing downstairs, my right arm clutching tightly onto my backpack.

  "Oh, there you are, sweet pea," My Mum said, embracing me warmly.

  "Mu-mum. Mum,you're squeezing me" I heaved a deep sigh,trying to wriggle free. "Mum!" 

  "Oh, you." she chuckled, releasing me. "Mm, you look gorgeous, my baby." She complimented sweetly, eyeing the red jacket I had on my tank top.

 ...Yeah, yeah. I do get that a lot...

  I was one average teen, a bit huge, and had really good, welcoming bosom and a smashing, hot booty to match, which shook rhythmically when I walked. Guess that's the reason why the boys in our neighborhood never failed to steal a glance whenever I walked passed them - One perks of being adorable.

  "Thanks ma." I giggled, snatching my box from Josie.

  Josie was our house keeper, a pigtailed, Browne eyed girl who seemed a lot quiet than usual. But that still didn't make me like her. She was so gullible. And the fact she and I were the same age made me detest her more - Humph!

  "Hope everything's all packed up, my sweet?" My Mum's voice came again. "Remember,you don't wanna leave anything behind."she continued, accompanying Dad and I to the garage.

  "Mmm-hmm,"I replied with a nod.

  "Oh, I'm really going to miss you, baby." She sulked, embracing me.

  ...Bluff!Such drama...

  "Ma-" I stopped. "Oh Mummy. You know I'm not a baby anymore."I laughed.

  "Oh, you. Do take care of yourself, all right? I know you'll make your Father and I so proud." She smiled, caressing my cheeks.

  "And oh," Dad cut in. "Always remember those advice we've been giving you. They'll sure be of help."

  "Sure, Daddy." I affirmed, giving my lips a slight lick.

  "I can't believe my baby's all grown up,"

  "Gee," I gave a mutter and turned to face her. "It's just college, mother. I'll be fine." 

  "I know, baby."

  "Yo guys! Wrap it up. We gotta beat traffic, you know." Dad interrupted, getting into the SUV."

  "Oh."we both laughed.

  "I love you, Mum."I said, getting in  right next to dad.

  "Oh, baby, Mama loves you most." She said, bidding us goodbye.

  Campbell! Ain't it adobes?! I smiled within, shutting the car door.

  "You okay there?"

  "Never been better." I replied with doubts. "Dad, do you think the girls over here will be better than ours at Henson?" I asked curiously.

  "I don't know baby. Just try fit in, okay?" He said. "I know my little Sunshine's gonna make us proud."

  "You really think so, dad? I mean, what if I mess up?"I continued, clasping my box.

  "Oh, I know so, baby. I'm sure you will." He spoke with full assurance.

  "Oh, thanks, Daddy." 

  "Uh, honey, what about these stuffs you packed in here? Need help moving them ? They're so heavy." He laughed, taking the rest of my luggage out of the trunk.

  I faked a frown. "Why do you worry so much, Dad?"

  "Why shouldn't I? My daughter's entering a new chapter, which I know would be-"

 "Yeah, yeah, Dad. I know."

 "Ha- Goody. Whew! Guess that's the lot. Still need me?"

 "Dad!" I yelled, my brows arched at him.

 "Come on, baby, you don't have to be like that." He laughed, poking my sides.

 I made to laugh, but took it all in, my eyeballs enlarged, sending him a signal he understood.

 "Alright. I'm sorry." He gave a funny chuckle, getting into his car. "I love you."

 "Love you, too, Dad."

  Marionette hostel was one gigantic one, and had really long stairs. And if one wasn't careful, he or she could end up lost in the whole no-boys zone.

 ...Can't believe it actually is...

  "Room 344." I muttered, turning the doorknob.

  The milky painted room came in sight and I couldn't help but marvel at how convenient it looked. I can't say why I've got a nice feeling about this place - But loved it!

  I tossed my bag carelessly on the bed that laid in the middle, giving a slight shrug as I took out my MP-3 player and my phone, a gasp eluding my lips as I remembered I haven't called James yet.

  "Damn! He's gonna be mad."

  I gave a sharp slide on my phone, dialing his number swiftly. "Shit! He's not answering." I groaned.

  "I'm sorry, who are you?" A female voice came.

 Oh, good Lord!

  "Ah. You must be the new girl Singer talked about. I'm Joan." She said, with a British accent.

  "Tricia. Tricia Parker." I said.

  "Parker, huh? Any relation to the Brooklyn's."

   "Uh....no?"

  "Heh! Forgive me, dear. Welcome to Campbell. Be sure to have such an ecstatic stay here. I'm a final year student, by the way. Theater Arts." She said at one stretch.

 ...Doubt her words ever have commas in them...

  I smiled. "Lovely. I'm a newb, which I'm sure you already know." I said, my right hand suspended in the air.

  "Oh, right." She giggled. "Newbies are always my favorite." She smiled, throwing a wink at me. "Oops! Almost time." she said, stealing a glance at her watch. "I'll see you later, Roomie."

  "As will I."

  • MY CAMPUS LIFE   FIVE

    Days passed and there was still no sign of Derek anywhere. I felt miserable, didn't know why, but part of me still wished so much to apologize and make things right once again. Ah. This is frustrating. Why do I say the wrong thing all the time? Why do I always mess things up?! I rolled restlessly, my towel seeming it was going to roll off my body, right hand stretched to the table, searching aimlessly for my phone. Come on, where are you? I found it lying on the far side, so I partly got up, took it with me and I swiped it open; logging on to Facebook as my eyes made a thorough scan of the zillion texts that laid in wait. I groaned, giving a slight shrug as I reluctantly made to reply; Pass... Pass... Pass... Don't pass... Ooh... Pass!! "Pa

  • MY CAMPUS LIFE   FOUR

    "Why, isn't this such a surprise?!" His husky voice spoke, as I turned, my eyes looking deeply into two glistening brown eyes. Gasping, my eyes shone alongside. "Derek?" "Hello, Parker," The light-haired lad said to me. "H-how are y-you here?" I stuttered. For one thing, I could say I never expected to see any of my friends from my old high school here, but here I was, standing not a million miles away from one. "How am I here?" He stared at me for a moment. "You do know you and I applied for the same school, right? I remember telling you," He spoke as I recalled......... "Hey, Peez. What's popping?" A savagely handsome, whiskey brown eyes lad approached me. "Pass." I sighed, shutting my locker. "Oh, c'mon, Parker. There's no need for that." "Oh, the

  • MY CAMPUS LIFE   THREE

    I sat deeply engrossed in what I was writing and the loud chattering wasn't helping the situation. I adjusted a little, a low moan escaping my gloss, wet lips. I shut my eyes partly, slipping them open again, and with a sharp roll tried working out where Philip was - The only friend I've made. I wonder where he's at, I wondered, catching not a glimpse of him anywhere. I gotta admit, college was really different. A whole lot different from Bovillean - My former high school. There were so many people, so many culture I craved so much to learn, most especially the Mayan. "Oh, why can't these assholes just quit it!" I mumbled irritably. I lifted my palms and with them, covered my ears, my eyes shut alongside as I tried so hard to separate myself from the unending noise that was always making me want to explode. PHILIP'

  • MY CAMPUS LIFE   TWO

    I ran through the hallway, hotfooted, a groan escaping my lips. "Can't believe I'm gonna be late." "Whoa! Take it easy." A calm voice came halting me as I quickly turned around, my eyes meeting with his. Such charming gray eyes, I thought, blinking simultaneously. He gave a welcoming smile, as my heart skipped a bit. "I'm Philip." He said to me. I gulped, wanting to say something, but no words came out. "Uh..." "Oh, sorry. I...I'm Tricia," I stammered. "What a lovely name you got, Trish." "Oh, thank you." I blushed, forgetting all about class. "My pleasure. Come along, now. Class' this way." He gestured, as I followed. Walking side by side with him made me nervous and I couldn't fathom out why. Maybe he's not human. Or maybe....Just m

  • MY CAMPUS LIFE   PROLOGUE

    Her smile,that smileHer beauty that yonder shines,and her love which doth strengthens me;Like the wind which blows unceasingly across the White Eastern seaShall it forever be?Oh,I wishIf only wishes do come true...❀❀❀❀❀❀❀I am Tricia. The only child of Mr and Mrs Parker, honorable owners of Gravantees Ville....Like I actually care...Mum and dad were really harsh on me on the course of growing up, right from when I was a kid, and even when I attained puberty, it got even worse, freaking me out the more. I was never allowed outside;not on their watch 'cause they were too scared of letting me out, or so I thought. So technically,I was never really allowed to explore the outside world like the rest of the people. It didn't matter anyway. I still had a way of going against their bullshit rules, without them actually knowing - Making me one hell of a badass!
