I climbed the stairs slowly，carrying a big suitcase，my father following with two more. By the time I got to the third floor，I was 1 and at the same time feeling lonely. Worse still，Dad 2 a step and fell，sending my new suitcases 3 down the stairs. “Damn!”he screamed，his face turning red. I knew trouble was ahead. Whenever Dad's face turns red， 4 ！
How could I ever 5 him to finish unloading the car without screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls，girls I would have to spend the rest of the 6 with？Doors were opening and faces peering out(探出)，as Dad walked with difficulty close behind. I felt it in my bones that my college life was getting off to a(n) 7 start.
“Enter the room quickly，”I thought. “Get him into a chair and calmed down.” But then again，would there be a chair in Room 316？Or would it be a(n) 8 room？
Finally I turned the key in the lock and 9 the door open，with Dad still 10 about a hurting knee or something. I put my head in， 11 the worst. But to my 12 ，the room wasn't empty at all！It had furniture，curtains，a TV，and even paintings on the walls.
And there on a wellmade bed sat Amy，my new roommate，dressed neatly. Greeting me with a nod，she said in a soft voice，“Hi，you must be Cori.” Then，she 13 the music and looked over at Dad. “And of course，you're Mr.Faber，”she said， 14 .“Would you like a glass of iced tea？”Dad's face turned 15 less red before he could bring out a “yes.”
I knew then that Amy and I would be friends and my first year of college would be a success.
