James Wilson, a freshman community college student

Author note: This is my first attempt at writing here. If anyone want to write off a branch from this story feel free to, the only thing I ask is that you title the chapter with some indication it isn't the main branch. Anyway, enjoy!

God, I hate this college, I was so stupid to think that things would be different here than in high school. I decided to go to community college because I didn't want to get a bunch of debt when I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I still wanted to get out of my hometown. The problem is, its similar to high school. People formed cliques, and I'm not in them. I don't care for most hobbies people enjoy, and prefer to play video games. So before I knew it, I was alone again. In high school, I stuck through being a loner because I figured, it would get better in college, and here I am, in the same situation.

Don't get me wrong. Some things are nice. I have some more freedom without my parents breathing down my neck every day telling me what to do, and thankfully the housing at this college is single rooms, so I even have a place to myself, relatively speaking. Its small, and there are other people constantly hanging out around in the dorm, but I don't interact with them. They ignore me, and I ignore them.

All that would be bearable, but some of the professors really bother me as well. Since I'm still undecided on my study focus, I'm taking a bunch of general courses. The worst course of them is my English course. The professor is an ardent feminist, and has overtly stated she's grading the men more harshly to "right the historic wrongs of the patriarchy", her words, not mine, and there are plenty of girls in the class who are more than willing to take advantage of her attitude for extra points or just to put someone down, like myself.

So, instead of going to class today, I'm just going to stay in my room and play video games. Who cares right? What'll she do, dock me more points? I'm already failing.

Half way through a game of DOTA, my phone buzzes. I'll check it after, its probably my parents sending me some pointless text anyway.
