BirdhouseMy Own Two Feet
As Beverly and her mother and father wait patiently at the Greyhound Bus Station. She hated waiting for the bus, it always seemed as if it forever. All around her she could smell the stench of burning rubber. Apparently Beverly had been invited to spend the summer with her mother�s cousin Verna for the summer while attending college in San Francisco, California. Beverly had never been to college and was actually being pressured by her mother not to go in the first place. It was supposed to be a good school though, even though it was a Jr. College named Chuffy. When she finally arrived in San Francisco she went straight to her cousin�s house. The whole house was painted bright colors, making it seem more fresh and new. Compared to her house, which happened to be all white!

Instead of actually going to Chaffey Beverly decided to attend Cal. College located in Southern California. At this school they had strict rules� one being you had to have a roommate if you wanted a dorm, and of course they assigned them for you.
