The warm spring air brushed against my face as I stepped out, closing the door behind me. My best friend, Darren, was already waiting at the front gate, shaking his head with a smile.

"Morning," he greeted, and I smiled back. "Ready for your first day?"

"As ready as I can be," I replied confidently. "I hear college is a lot more relaxed than high school. No stupid gangs, fewer mean girls, and no drama."

We walked down the sidewalk, the campus a vibrant hub of new beginnings. Despite the excitement, a familiar anxiety gnawed at me. "I'm a little bit anxious about making new friends. I'm not a very social person."

Darren, ever the loyal friend, nodded. "I know that. But don't worry, you'll meet lots of people. This campus is huge."

I just hoped my awkwardness wouldn't cause any problems on this new campus. After all, this was a fresh start.
