We had a perfect summer together, we had spent nearly everyday with each other and there was no doubt that I was in love with her. Even though it had only three months, I knew she was the one I’d spend my life with. We dated, did art projects together and slept together. Though we hadn’t made love, I knew she was the one. She never pushed me for sex and I made it clear that I trusted her.

The art show Bette had set up for us was a success and was written about in numerous papers and magazines across the U.S. My photographs had captured the attention of a local photography and film studio Shaolin Productions. They called me for an interview and hired me on the spot. I was to be an assistant to the Executive Producer. It was a small studio which mainly produced a lot of independent films and documentaries. They believed in the next ten to twenty years they’d grow into something bigger, and major film projects was their biggest hope. I was enthusiastic about helping to fulfil their hopes.

After starting my new part time job, it was finally the week before my first week of college and I was nervous and excited. We had spend the entire weekend moving boxes and furniture into the apartment Dana’s parents had gotten for us. We were all excited to be going on this adventure together but nothing made me more excited than knowing Bette could stay with me in my bed.

"Well that’s the last box baby."

"Thanks Bette, I hate moving."

"Well you won’t have to do it for another four years, hopefully," she said.

"I’m glad Dana’s parents got us this great place. I am especially glad to not have to move out after each semester."

"Let’s get some lunch."

We went to this great sushi restaurant a block away for the building and we rested for a bit. When we got back, we had the task of emptying boxes and putting things away. Moving five girls into one apartment was gonna be a hassle. Though Shane and Carmen would have fun moving all of their stuff into one tiny room. We laughed as their room was stacked full of boxes.
