From Mountains to Lone Stars

Johnny smiled at me as I walked into his office for my transition interview. I was honestly a little nervous. I had only worked at Bruce, and I wasn't sure I wanted to move for my last semester as a resident assistant. I was sure I wanted to try something out with Matt though. Out of everything I was positive of, that was the thing I was most positive of.

"Don't be nervous, Mav." Johnny motioned for me to sit down. He was the only hall director at Legends. He didn't even have a graduate assistant with him. "This is very informal, and you should know that. We just want to see if you would be a good fit for our hall."

I looked at the surprisingly short hall director. "Sorry, it's just been a while since I've been interviewed." I sat down and crossed my ankles, mentally preparing myself for whatever the short man was going to ask me.

"For starters, why do you want to transition halls?"

God, he didn't beat around the bush. I didn't want to start a work relationship off by lying, but I also didn't want to tell someone I was having feelings for my superior. "Well, honestly, it mainly has to do with me having feelings for one of my co-workers. But I also want to see what a hall with upper classmen can offer me. I've only worked with freshman, and I think it's good to expand our abilities. Bruce also holds a lot of good and bad memories for me. I need a fresh start."

Johnny nodded, writing down little snippets of what I had said. Then he began to pepper me some more with questions. I was already starting to feel comfortable around the guy. He just had a friendly personality, open to those around him.

"Come on, Alexis. I know it hurts, but you gotta push through it!"

I glared at my physical therapist as he encouraged me to do another fucking crunch. My entire body hurt, like I hadn't done exercise in years. Truth me told, I hadn't done much exercise beyond intramural sports. Ever since my surgeries, I just didn't feel like doing anything anymore.

The area where my uterus had once been burned. It still felt like it was on fire even a few months post surgery. The therapist assured me this was normal and that it would start to feel better six months after. I had other opinions about that, of course. I think they boiled down to the fact that I didn't want to do my therapy stuff.

"One more, Alexis. One more!"

I groaned through my next crunch and then collapsed against the table. My body felt numb, like I had completely drained it of all its power. The therapist came over to me and gently rubbed my scar tissue. Honestly, this was my least favorite part. We had to get the scar tissue to be less intense, so that meant he would rub my stomach and pelvic area. And it hurt like a fucking bitch.

"So, how did your interview go?"

I looked at Mike. "They hired me. I'm transitioning to Legends Hall next semester. They're going to let me move in right before we go to winter break."

"Are you excited?"

I paused to think about it. "Actually, I am. I thought leaving Bruce Hall would be a lot harder than it is turning out to be, but I am ready to move forward in my resident job. It's going to be a little nerve-wracking though. I don't know too many of those RAs."

Mike laughed and rubbed my belly. Pain shot down me. It normally was painful but this was like the fucking ovary pain all over again. My eyes rolled into the back of my head and everything went black.
