Chapter 4 - The Start Of Something New

Since Katie graduated high school, she starts researching colleges. Katie finds a college named Paxent University, and applies there. Since this college is a writing school, she was required to write a paper about why she should be accepted and her backstory. She writes about her parents kicking her out, how she had no education for her entire 10th grade year, about her jobs, and about the man who mysteriously gave her $100,000. They accepted her, but in the email, they told her not to lie while on campus. She was confused, but happy. 3 months later, she moved out of her apartment and into her dorm at the university. Her roommate was there a week before she arrived. Her name was Alli. They talked for awhile, and discovered they had common interests. When the day of Katie's first class arrived, she was so nervous she dropped all her books the second she walked in the door. Everyone starred at her. Her face was like a tomato as she picked up her things from the floor. She rushed to the back row where one seat was left. Her teacher, Mr. Xao, started talking.

"Ah, you must be Katie. Did you know you are 30 minutes late?"

Everyone starred, again.

Katie's whole body was red.

"I-I'm sorry s-sir.. I-I-It won't h-happen again.." Katie said while shaking.

"Good," Mr. Xao said. "Now on with the lesson."
