Emily's POV
I looked at the ceiling as the clock ticked on, it was 2am in the morning and I couldn't sleep because of the excitement of my first day at college. I rolled off my bed and sat back down, I just got accepted into Georgette College one of the most expensive colleges in the world they train future leaders and have brought out many great people. It is a privately owned university and popular to only the rich and they did a scholarship program and four years of intense reading and sleepless nights paid off. I jumped quietly in joy fearing to awake my mom and sister more like step sister Avery, I rolled my eyes and went to the mirror and gave myself several pep talks on how I wasn't the first kid running from home due to a secret scholarship. I won't feel bad because mom never cared she would have been angry and burnt my acceptance letter watching me cry with joy or worse given it to Avery then all my hard work down the drain. I had three hours to get ready to start my life afresh maybe never come back.....
I rushed to the bathroom and took an hour bath don't judge me I had to look good for my first day remember first impressions last longer. I had my hair washed thoroughly letting my long curls glide down my long beauty chestnut brown curls that smelt like vanilla due to weekly maintenance and my curls are another story I got out and headed for my closet my trustee hoodie and faded baggy jeans to rock the look with my Nike sneakers and stuffed whatever else was there in my travelling bag and checked the time an hour left I packed all my memories into my bag and left nothing but things I couldn't carry or things I didn't need. I walked quietly down the stairs passed my mom and Avery's room I went to the kitchen and dropped of the letter I left for my mom and Avery my goodbye letter.....
Liam's POV
I stood at the window looking out this was going to be my first day in college a place of youthful exuberant I smiled.
‘‘Young master Liam your ride is here’’ he said giving a light bow and dropped the keys and left. This was going to be fun.
Juana's POV
‘‘I can't believe she left!’’ I screamed going through the letter severally to check if it was a prank because if it was she was dead, I paced around the kitchen angrily when Avery came downstairs.
‘‘hey mom’’ she said heading to the fridge probably for her morning milk, I looked at her proud of what she had become she was the only light in my tunnel but remembering Emily got me mad she reminds me of where I'm coning from my dark past.
‘‘She left’’ I dropped the bombshell but Avery laughed.
‘‘ Mom isn't that good new now I can take over her room and turn it into that spa room I've always wanted. I pray she dies out there it was about time she left’’
‘‘She got a scholarship to a billion dollar school’’
Avery froze in her track she turned around and here it goes ‘‘Mom I hope your not talking about Georgette College because that is my dream school I wanted to go there!!’’
Here we go she has always been jealous of Emily no matter what I give her she always wants more like the time I cut Emily's hair for Avery to be happy but turns out Emily rocked the look and now she wanted a billion dollar school heck I could barely afford all the bills that kept piling up.
‘‘Mom I'm hundred percent sure she sold her body for that scholarship what a slut’’ she said angrily.
But I knew it wasn't true no matter how much I hated her I had to admit she was a one of a kind a beauty with brains. She took after her dad which got me jealous because Avery was the opposite but I didn't want to let her down so I will send her to Georgette College no matter what.
(At Georgette College ) xoxoxo
Emily's POV
I finally arrived after two hours in the bus I carried my bag and stepped into the gate, I felt this surge of energy go through me I saw students smartly dressed going to their various classes, some just settling in and their I was the girl in her favourite hoodie and faded jeans looking out of place as I caught some people staring at me. I rushed to the Warden office after asking ten people for direction and getting nine sarcastic replies. I breathed in and out and entered still nervous, she looked up as if scrutinizing me from head to toe ‘‘ Your name ?’’
‘‘Emily Wilson’’ I said in a low but understandable voice.
‘‘Emily Wilson’’ she said severally like it had a bitter taste in her mouth ‘‘The scholarship student?’’
There was an awkward silence in the room as she looked at me and my documents and said ‘‘Welcome to Georgette College Miss Wilson we are glad to have you here in our prestigious school you will be given your timetable for your classes by your Porter and also a hostel room. Remember with great power comes great responsibility we don't pardon lateness or ill behaviours here in our school. I guess that will be all for now your Porter will brief you on the rest. Have a nice day Miss Emily.’’
I sighed in relief as I walked out of the building using the map I borrowed from her I traced my way around this huge school which had like 40 study halls and millions of staircases till I found my hostel. I walked forward and read out loud ‘‘ Purity Hostel G’’
I knocked on the porter's door and saw an old
woman arranging files I greeted looking at her awards ‘‘good morning Mrs Nicky’’
‘‘Oh good morning dear how are you? You must be the new scholarship student... Miss Emily Wilson well isn't it a pleasure’’ she smiled looking up at me ‘‘Have a seat dear’’
‘‘Thank you Mrs Nicky’’ I said really grateful because she was the first person that was kind to me ever since I got here.
‘‘So your uniform will be given to you by me, your room key and your in my hostel Purity Hostel G room 14 with three other girls your timetable according to your course is here now give me time to get it’’ she stood up and left I looked around her office admiring the interiors when she came back ‘‘ Here you go’’
‘‘Thank you’’ I said and left standing outside her door. My new life begins now......
