You graduate from High School

You, Karen, Jon, and Lexie all barely passed as you spent most of high school partying and goofing off. Bobby always got good grades and Wendy is still a nerd and with Amber dropping out, graduated at the top of your class. She and Joe plan to go to Oakendale University, (more on O.U. in the next chapter) a private college 1000 miles away. Ashley will join you, Karen, Bobby, Jon, and Lexie at State University. Ashley and Jon have relatives that own an old farm outside of Capital City but close enough to State to get them out of the dorm rule. Their relatives are leaving the state in late August, and the siblings will have the place to themselves. As Lexie and Bobby will spend most of their time at the Smith compound, you and Karen pick them as roommates, as you will have your rooms to yourselves most of the time.

Bill and Erica have also transferred to State. They are upperclassmen and can live off campus. They are willing to buy **** for all of you, their under aged friends and family. Amber gives birth to her twins and starts working at a truck stop on the edge of Capital City. She has reconciled with Karen and you and Karen sometimes watch the twins. When the twins are a year old, Amber goes off the deep end again and her and Karen never speak to each other again. Amber is eight months pregnant with a kid that was conceived in the back of a big rig and she is bitchy as she thinks the world owes her more than her lot in life.

Your first two years of college are successful and you and Karen have many fun adventures with your friends from Green River City.
