leaving home was always the plan.
During high school I made sure to grade I needed in other to be able to do anything I want without anyone stopping me,without needing to depend on anyone especially my parents..it wasn't that my parent weren't nice people or anything,but they use me to show off to their high society friend.
The walls of our house were covered in pictures of the five of us where we look"happy and perfect",and with award I'd received from countless competitions and tests.But aside from the walls in the entrance way and throughout the lower floor of the house,everything was bare,it was almost eerie how empty the house felt as soon as you walk up the stairs or enter a room.
Even my own bedroom didn't have pictures and personal items because I couldn't have people asking to see my room and have it not been perfect,so I had to keep everything in drawers and in my closet.it was constantly surrounded by people,but I was always alone and I wasn't close to anyone but Julian,the only time I was spoken to was about the award I'd gotten from school or a medal from playing volleyball,and unless I was spoken to ,I wasn't allowed to speak.
This made family dinners quite awkward,with my parents talking about business or gossiping,and the only time o was addressed was either to pass the salt or if the gossip was about one of my friend's parents,hoping I had something to add,which I never did.my parent favoured everyone over me.
I was a bit of a rebel,but I was so cautious the I had not once been caught,although, as long as everybody around us thinks we are perfect ,my parents probably wouldn't care what I do.
so I would constantly sllep at my beat friend David house,until he moved away.
just in case my parents didn't approved of my decision, I worked my ass off to be top of my class in all classes in order to get a full rode scholarship at Greenville university,which just so happen to I'm headed right this moment.
This way,with a full ride,there's nothing that my parents can do to stop me from leaving,besides taking away my car.thanks fully they agreed that Greenville was a good university,so there wasn't much drama about me leaving,just fake tears, fake huga,fake goodbyes,and fake-see-you-laters.
Driving with the top down,my blue porsche 911 cabriolet(birthday gift from my parents,gotta keep up appearance)flying down the highway,with random rock music blaring through the radio.
Passing by the "welcome to Greenville" sign,my body Start to hum,finally allowing myself to feel excited now that am finally here.
I'm finally free.
I don't have to be perfect,I don't have to be alone.I can finally be a kid,even though am legally adult.
my phone start to ring from the passenger seat so I put it through my car speaker.
"Why don't I see a beautiful blue car in the parking lot right now?I know there isn't any traffic because I checked the report and its like....4"
That would be my long time best friend Julian..I have know her since we were in diapers and we have been inseparable up until the beginning of the summer when her family decide to move to Greenville,thankfully only a 3 hours drive from my hometown.we didn't let that get in the way much with our constant call,text,face timing over the summer though.
Julian is a loud,energetic,fiery soul who likes to shop,talk, party and sleep around .not that I can blame her,with her looks she can get any guy she chooses.
"Julian I will there in 10, chill"
"Excuse me,chill?!my best friend is finally coming to join me since like forever,I'm literally waiting in the parking lot,I hope you've gotten stronger because I'm going to tackle you to the ground and attack you with kisses".
" julian,woah,didn't know you swing that way" I said with a smile plastered on my face.
"only for you Darling",I can hear the smirk in his voice.
Julian hangup the call so I can focus on getting to the block of apartments that Julian will no doubt be waiting in the parking lot of.
We decided that because we will be attending the same university,and instead of staying in dorms,we could just live together in an apartment about a 10minute walk from the main campus..
Hearing my GPS telling me that I've arrived at my destination,I pull into the parking lot of a really nice set of modern looking apartments, only to hear a shriek,followed by a red blur as a pulled into a parking spot.
The red blur came into focus although I already knew it would be Julian,her favourite color is red,and that is all she seem to own and wear.Quickly getting out of the car,I found myself lying underneath a very happy Julian.
"oh my God you're finally here!what the f**k how did you get so much prettier,over the summer!!!whatever it doesn't matter,you're here now and we need to get you cleaned up for tonight.I'm showing you off".Julian says while pulling me up off the ground with a wink..
" um,what's tonight?"I asked confused ,I figured we'd just be staying in and catching up,we do start class tomorrow..
"you and I are going swimming"
