Chapter One
Eli Miller felt his heart begin to beat wildly in his chest, as the yellow taxi pulled up to the curb. The buildings were huge and cluttered around the small courtyard and grassy knoll that the taxi had parked near. Each of the buildings were expansive and built of great stone and marble. Throngs of young people milled about, some of them darting into the road to cross, without even looking to see if any vehicles were coming their way.
There was more bustle and activity that Eli had even seen occurring at once. Sure, Eli had been out into the English world before. He had had his Rumspringa when he was sixteen, just like everyone else in his community. There had also been the trips sneaking away from his community to tour college campuses and fill out applications for part-time jobs. But that had all been during the summer, when this small, college town had been sleepy and quiet. Now, there were hundreds of young people rushing about, laughing and calling to one another. Eli could feel his breath coming in short, ragged spurts. Maybe this really was all going to be too much for him to handle. Maybe he never should have left the secluded Amish community that he had been raised in.
But he had loved the modern world so much during his Rumspringa. He had adored the freedom and the ease with which people spoke. He had yearned to wear jeans instead of trousers and shirts without buttons. He had been enthralled by all of the technological gizmos that were banned in his own community; television, computers, smart phones, apps, and social media. The world of the English was magical and captivating.
The freedom and possibilities seemed endless. And so, Eli had enrolled at a small state school and taken out several high-interest loans. He had found a part-time job at a local retailer. He had signed up for dormitory housing. Then on the last evening in August, he had packed his bags and told his family that he would be leaving.
Eli's father had been furious, shouting at him in Pennsylvania Dutch. Except that his father was so angry, he allowed their first language to become riddled with English swear words. Eli's mother had cried and begged him not to go.
“Please, Eli, my little love,” she had cried. “If you go, then we can never allow you to come back. You will be tainted by the evil of the English. This is what your Rumspringa was for. You should have gotten all of this out of your head. Your place is here with us now.”
But Eli really didn't feel that it was, and surprising even himself, he was now among the English, with a brand new life all set up and waiting for him. He couldn't believe that he'd been able to do it. Eli felt proud, but also terrified, by the bravery and resolve that he hadn't known he possessed.
“This is it,” the cab driver snapped. “Are you waiting for something, guy? Because my meter is still going.”
Eli was broken from his reverie then. He shook his head, as if to shake away his doubts.
“Yes, yes,” he murmured. “I'm sorry. I'm just a bit nervous. How much is it?”
“Twenty-three,” the driver said.
And then in a softer tone, he added, “Is it your first year? First time away from home?”
Eli nodded.
“Yeah, and I come from a really small town. I'm just kind of shocked by how busy it is. I hope that I'm not going to get too lost and confused.”
The driver frowned, as if he were considering something.
Eli leaned forward, placing a twenty and a ten into his palm.
“Thank you for the ride,” he said, and then began to collect his bags from the floor of the car.
“Listen,” the driver said suddenly. “My daughter went to this school. She graduated a few years back, but I still remember the layout pretty decent. Do you know where you're going?”
“Sort of,” Eli admitted. “I mean, I took a tour here, but I didn't exactly memorize everything. I need to go to my dorm. It's Bundy Hall?”
“Well, you're on the wrong side of campus for that,” the driver told him. “This side of campus has all the administrative buildings, the library, theater, student center, and two of the three dining halls. The opposite side of campus has most of the actual classrooms and all of the dorms.”
“Crud,” Eli groaned.
“Don't sweat it, kid,” the driver muttered.
His voice was both kind and disgruntled.
“It's not far, not by car at least,” he continued. “Walking it's a bit of a hike. That's why the campus has a bus system. But I'll drive you over there. No extra
charge. I gotta go back in that direction anyway to get back on the highway.”
“Oh no!” Eli protested. “That's okay.”
But the old man was already pulling away from the curb, and waving a gnarled hand dismissively.
A few minutes later, the cab pulled up in front of a brick-faced building that looked an awful lot like the apartment complexes, that Eli's family used to pass by on their way to visit distant relatives in another Amish community each summer. Eli remembered that he's had the same thoughts on the tour this past summer. He recalled that the inside of the dorm was set up into a series of living “modules”. There were clusters of bedrooms surrounding a small living area and kitchen. Each module had one large shower area, and then a separate half-bathroom with a toilet and full-length mirror. Eli remembered being amazed at how adult and independent the living situation would be.
Eli recalled that it was the dorms that had really put this college at the top of his list. That and the price. This was a government-subsidized state school. It was technically a junior college. But the degree would be just as good as any. And Eli could afford it with the loans that had been granted to him.
Eli collected his bags, said his genuine thanks to the cab driver, and then hustled into the dorm. He couldn't remember the pass code that he'd been given in his housing letter, but luckily a group of guys came barreling out within a few minutes and Eli was able to grab hold of the door, before it slammed closed behind them.
Eli did remember his room number. Mostly because it was written on the side of his thumb in dark, permanent marker. He searched the directory on the ground floor and found that his room was in module twelve. That appeared to be up on the third floor. Eli found module twelve in the center of the long hall on the third floor. There were two other modules flanking it. Eli supposed this meant he and his roommates would have to endure the racket made in both of the other modules, but maybe that wouldn't be so bad. Eli supposed that was all just a part of the college experience.
The door to the module was unlocked, and Eli wandered in with no small degree of trepidation. The door opened up into a large, circular living space, with a pristine kitchenette to the side. Eli wondered how long that kitchenette would remain so clear and shining. From what he had seen, college students weren't known for their tidiness.
The living space was empty, but Eli could hear several conversations going. The round room was lined with doors, and Eli supposed that these must be the bedrooms. Through the partially cracked doors of two of these rooms, Eli could hear several young men talking, and he could see the flickering of shadows as they moved about inside, becoming acclimated and unpacking their belongings.
Eli thought about introducing himself, but lost the nerve to go through with it. He decided to put his stuff away in his room, and he would get to know the guys in the module's other rooms another time. Maybe even later in the day. For now, he just wanted to sit down and breathe for a second.
Eli found his nerves beginning to settle as he hustled into his new room and plunked his three overstuffed canvas bags on the floor. Eli looked around at his surroundings. It appeared that his roommates had already arrived. The moderately-sized room had three beds and two of them were already made up and covered with bags. The bed next to the small closet had a bunch of pictures and posters thumb-tacked into the wall that it was pressed against. It looked like whoever had taken that bed was a real basketball fan. There were posters for the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Dream, and the Georgia Bobcats. Eli didn't know very many teams, but the pictures of bright orange balls and hoops covering the posters, told him what sport they were associated with.
“Hey there!”
Eli jumped at the sound of a female voice, and then took a step back as a lanky and toned young woman stepped out of the closet. She gave her leg a little shake to free it of some clothing that had become tangled around it and stumbled out into the room. Her dark brown skin was shining with sweat.
“Uh...hi..” Eli stammered. “Sorry, I must be in the wrong place..”
“No, I don't think so,” she quipped. “Donna and me were expecting a third roommate. Is your name Eli?”
Eli nodded.
“Great!” she chirped. “Then that's your bed right there.”
She pointed to the last remaining bed. It was pressed up next to the only window in the room, and Eli could see that it faced a large oak tree.
Eli fidgeted and chewed his bottom lip.
“I didn't realize that boys and girls could share rooms.”
“Yeah,” the girl said, grabbing a small box next to her own bed and beginning to unpack the contents. “This school went co-ed a few years back. That doesn't bug you does it?”
Eli hesitated. It most certainly did bother him. But he didn't want to offend this girl by saying so.
“You don't have to be nervous,” the girl continued. “I'm Rayna. Our other roommate is Donna. We grew up together and we made it a point to get the same room together. We've been best friends since we were about two. Anyway, we both knew that we were getting a male roommate. We're not upset about or uncomfortable, so there isn't any reason for you to be either.”
Eli set his bags down on the bed and began to open them up. He watched as Rayna began to pull a series of trophies, ribbons, and medals from a box. She began placing them at the top of the small dresser next to her bed.
“Wow, you have a lot of awards,” Eli said. “How did you win all those?”
Rayna turned to him and flashed a dazzling smile.
“I won most of these doing basketball. I was one of the best players on my high school team and I did the basketball team at my family's country club during the summer. But then a few of them are from Dance competitions and one is for baseball. I broke our school's batting average record and they ordered a special trophy for me. But I only did baseball for Freshman and Sophomore year. I wanted to just stick with Basketball. I know that they play different times of the year, but I also wanted to have time for Dance. I do Acrobatics routines and Lyrical in Dance competitions.”
“Whoa!” Eli gasped. “You must be a great athlete!”
Rayna blushed.
“I mean...to be honest, I am kind of proud of my athletic abilities. Is it too lame that I brought all my trophies with me to college? Donna said that people might think it's weird.”
Eli smiled.
“No,” he said. “I think it's really nice that you have something you're so passionate about.”
“Oh shucks!” Rayna laughed.
Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad, Eli thought to himself. It was a little weird, sharing a room with two girls. But Rayna was so nice and welcoming. She also had a fun and high-spirited energy. She was also exceptionally pretty. She had thick, long braids to hung almost to her waist. Her body was slim, but muscular, and shoulders wide with a long and elegant neck, that sloped forward a bit when she spoke. Her eyes were so dark, they nearly matched the hue of her skin. Her lips were full and when they parted, showed off a set of teeth that were so white and sparkling, Eli found himself dazzled. Eli could see himself becoming friends with this girl, but he did worry about how he might get along with his other female roommate.
“Hey..when is your friend coming back?” he asked.
“Oh, you're not nervous about meeting her are you?”
Eli stared at her, wondering how she was able to read him so easily.
Rayna giggled.
“You seem really tense,” she offered, by way of explanation. “Listen, I promise there's nothing to worry about. Donna is really easygoing and nice. Almost everyone gets along with her. You and her are gonna be fast friends.”
Eli nodded anxiously.
Rayna began to ask him questions then. Eli knew that she was only trying to get to know him, but he didn't want to say too much. He didn't want to reveal too much about his past. He wasn't sure how other people might react to his Amish upbringing.
When asked where he was from, Eli offered a brief and cl
ipped answer. He kept his eyes turned away from her, filling his top drawer with recently purchased t-shirts and jeans.
“I'm from a small town,” Eli mumbled. “Not too far. Just a few states over.”
“Oh,” Rayna said. “That's cool. Donna and I aren't from this town either. We wanted to make a fresh start after high school. Especially Donna. She doesn't really get along with her dad. What about you? How is your relationship with your family?”
“I'm an only child,” Eli said simply.
“Oh,” Rayna said.
She didn't press the issue and Eli was glad.
“Listen,” Eli said. “It was really nice to meet you. I mean it. I'm sorry if I'm being weird, I'm just sort of freaked about being away from home for the first time.”
“Don't sweat it,” Rayna replied, with an easy grin.
“I think if I go out and get acclimated I might start to feel better,” Eli explained. “Would you think I'm horribly rude if I went out for awhile to walk around and find the bus stops?”
Rayna shook her head.
“Not at all,” she said. “I'll see you when you get back. Maybe you'd want to hang out with me and Donna tonight?”
Eli smiled.
“Sure,” he said. “I'll see the both of you later.”
An hour and a half later, Eli's nervousness was beginning to subside. He was starting to feel some of that excitement again, and really looking forward to this new life. He had found all of his six classrooms. The cab driver was right, most of the classes were on the dorm side of campus. That meant that nearly all of them were only a five minute walk from the dorm. There was one that was across campus. It met in the library, which was odd because it was a math class. But Eli supposed they must have just run out of free space in the Maths and Sciences building. Eli had also located the bus stops and found the stop closest to his last class of the day. That was the stop that he would go to in order to catch a ride to his part-time job on Wednesdays and Fridays.
After marking out his daily routine through campus and finding all of the landmarks that would be important to him, Eli stopped in at the campus bookstore. It was huge. Eli had never thought that something calling itself a “bookstore” could be filled with so much non-book paraphernalia. There were racks of t-shirts, sweatpants, jackets, and hoodies; all emblazoned with the school colors and logo. There were cups and mugs, key chains. Even very impractical and ostentatious items such as dartboards, plaques, and wall tapestries.
