Regina was running late. It wasn’t necessarily abnormal for her, but it was problematic on her first day at college. She wasn’t the brightest of students, one of the reasons she was attending Willoughby Academy, a specialty college in backwoods Massachusetts rather than some ‘real college’—as she called—anywhere else. She’d been dropped off the night before, having already missed the first day of move-in and campus orientation, since her mother had been called into work and later caught in traffic. Regina wasn’t really mad about that, but it was one more thing frustrate her with her mother. Somehow, it was apparently still Regina’s fault in her mother’s eyes. That night, she was ushered right up to a temporary dorm room. Today was academic orientation. She’d be assigned a roommate, a room, and move forward from there. Regina had hoped to make a good impression, especially as her mother made a big point about the strings that had been pulled to get her into Willoughby.
