“Going to college was just an excuse to go find me a husband but don’t tell anyone,” Marianna said laughing fixing up her earpiece.

That’s when her and her sister’s journey began.

On move-in day your Freshman year, you were of course excited and Dad and I shared that excitement. We set up your dorm, carefully placing every item, making sure the beds matched and decorating to show your style. We carefully looked at your schedule for recruitment week so you’d know just which clothes to get ready. We made one last Wal-Mart run, with everyone else in College Station, to be sure you were well-stocked with supplies. Then it was time to leave you. This time, it was Dad who was emotional. He was leaving his little girl, by herself, in a world of young men and women that you, and he, didn’t know. But I wasn’t worried, not this time. I knew you were okay – you were a fierce individualist who knew that you valued education, persistence, loyal friends, and kindness. Aggieland was just the place for you, and when we left you on those stairs of Wells Hall, I hugged you goodbye, confident that you would be

He loved being in Philadelphia with his best friend Malik and when he found out he had to go he was devastated. Him and his mom had to go because after his father died in a car accident six years back it got hard on his mom.

Then a couple months later his uncle called and offered his mom a job that pays twice as much money that she’s making

According to the article “Tales of Bullying,” students can become a bad bully because you might have your own group of friends you want to impress or try to show off for, or you might have something going on at home.

Gabe watched as she lifted the long braid over her shoulder, then raised her arm to hold it into the air. He smiled. Backlit by the evening sun, her shirt was unbuttoned from the waist down, revealing more than she realized.

They all sat down after grabbing their food, starting to eat. Steve looked pleased, starting at the T.V. that was inches in front of his face as he ate. "So... what happened? Why are we here?" Darry asked, his voice rough, but slightly silky. She bit down on her lip, looking over at him.
