The Beginning

Normal, that's what my life was like before I meet Austin Cooper. Let me first clarify what I mean by normal then I can tell you how Austin made my life, not so normal. First, I'm a freshman at the University of Texas at Arlington. I'm a full month into my collage experience. I came here with my one and only girl best friend Sam (most of my other friends are guys). I've never had a boyfriend and I never had to deal with drama (mainly because guys don't bring drama and Sam hates drama as much as I do). My days before Austin consisted of studying for tests with Sam in the library and then going back to my one bedroom apartment (Sam's parents wanted her to live in a collage dorm her first year) to play Age of Empires Online. So my life was not only normal, but boring. However, it was my life and no one else, so I was happy in my boring, normal life. Never once did I lose sleep thinking about love or soul mates. However, I did, like most girls do, have the occasional day dream about meeting a guy I was attracted to, but I never did, so I just stopped looking. In fact I started to believe that love wasn't real, like the Easter Bunny it was something made up to keep humans form multiplying. I think any girl would if they never meet a guy that they were attracted to in any way or at least start to think they were gay. Now thinking I was gay, never came up in my adolescence, mainly because I wasn't attracted to girls either and I thought boobs were gross. So normal was something I was comfortable with, but then every thing changed.
