The smell of fresh blueberry muffins that the mother was baking on a sunny beautiful Friday morning, in a gorgeous white two-story house was a women named Yolanda which who lived in Apopka Florida. She was packing everything up for college but didn’t want to leave her parents the college was in Louisiana Texas she wanted to leave early so she doesn’t have to deal with traffic so much in the morning.

       It was August 10th, 1956, and Yolanda was 3 hours into the drive it was still daylight outside, but she started to get very low on gas. Yolanda starts to look for a gas station nearby she does and starts to pump gas, then gets right back on the road a few more hours pass by and the sun is going down but she finally makes it to her college and starts to settle in her dorm room and meets her new dorm room buddy which her name was Diamond they start to get along very well and become very good friends.

       Its 9:30pm on August 10th, 1956, Diamond and Yolanda start to get ready for bed to start their first day of college tomorrow the next day comes and its 7:00 am they  start to get up for their morning classes eventually the day starts to go by and there is this frat house party tonight and Diamond wants Yolanda to go, so she doesn’t go alone they both go and its super crazy a lot of people are drinking and playing games together getting along Diamond goes upstairs to use the restroom and Yolanda stays downstairs and sits down this guy comes up to her because he sees that she is alone by herself the guy’s name is Roberto who is a starter on the football team one of the best players ever and he’s dressed very antiquated and has tattoos on his arms and one on his neck  he is a sophomore in college and he starts to introduce himself to Yolanda and they both start to have deep conversations with each other.

      Yolanda starts to fall in love with him and that his voice is like no other guy she talked to, she starts to lose focus on what he is saying and starts to just admire his looks then starts to pay attention and they exchange phone numbers.

  Diamond comes down form the restroom and grabs Yolanda because she wants to leave the party so they leave and go back to the dorm room and Yolanda wanted to tell Diamond a clandestine and starts to talk about Roberto to Diamond and how handsome he was and how strong he was and the sound of his amazing voice and Diamond just kept saying you didn’t come to college for a stupid guy you came to college to study what you wanted to do, they both go to bed and get rested up for the next day school starts again.

    Yolanda notices that Roberto is in 2 of her classes and she goes and sits with him and they start talking again and they talk a lot about themselves and getting to know each other more and more and months pass by now its November 17th,1956, they both start to catch a lot of love for each other where their hearts start to beat out of their chest  for each other and one evening Roberto ask Yolanda to be his girlfriend and she says yes they both go out to dinner and have an amazing night but Roberto had to cut the dinner off early because of something that happens to him at night but he never told Yolanda what happens to him.

           They both go back to their dorm rooms and Yolanda is just very happy to have the boy she wanted the next morning comes and Roberto starts to act weird around Yolanda and she questions him about what’s wrong but he doesn’t say anything because he doesn’t want her to find out about him or leave him for what he actually they get into an argument because he isn’t acting like himself to Yolanda and it gets her mad.

        The day goes by and Diamond wanted Yolanda to meet up with her and some of her friends at this restaurant so she gets in her car and realizes she needs gas and it’s about 8:25pm she goes to a gas station to put in gas but the gas station looked really sketchy it was in the middle of nowhere and just surrounded in the forest Yolanda heard something in the forest a loud scream but it scared her so she just went quick into her car and drove off fast to the restaurant.

          Yolanda gets there and sees them at the table, and she looks very scared since she heard that loud scream, they ask her what’s wrong and Yolanda tells them and they all start to leave the restaurant because they wanted to see what she was talking about they all go back to where Yolanda was which was the gas station and they go into the forest together with their flash light on their phones and they start to look around to see what she had heard when she was there and they go deeper and deeper into the forest and they see this big atrophy creature with long fingers big tong feet with long toes and their body was so pail and ascendancy it had tattoos on it the same tattoos as Roberto, and Yolanda notices it and it made a loud scream and they all ran back to their cars and drove off fast back to the college.

           The next day comes, and they all go to class and Yolanda sees Roberto and says she wants to break up because of what she saw, and she knew it was him, Roberto wanted to explain, and Yolanda said no and got away from him so she finally found out why he left the dinner early, was acting weird, and what he actually was which was a shapeshifter meaning he wasn’t real  human she had ended things so now she doesn’t have to deal with a liar or someone who is a monster so now she is just focusing on herself and college just like what Diamond said she should do.
