Bella
I drove down to Mount Wings college feeling excited. Dad had even taken me shopping himself. He said I was part of the Wisdom family and I should act like one. He does not want me to feel left out or timid..
I am so grateful to him, he keeps saying that he has not done anything for me. After spending millions for my school, apartment and car. He asked me if the daughter of Mr. Wisdom should lake any of the things I have. The answer is no. Truth be told my uncle, who is also my adopted father is a very wealthy business man. Last year the wealth empire was ranked the most profitable organization in the country and my uncle as the CEO is among the five most wealthy and influential men in the country. sometime I quietly wish he was really my father.
Then I quickly let the thought go feeling guilty. I don't know for sure what my real parent were like, so I feel it unfair. The only thing of them I have is a few picture. I have on two occasion ask Dad to tell me more about my parent but he told me I would find out soon enough. At least he should know a lot about my Dad if not mum, right? I notice something on this two occasion he was not ready to tell me the truth about them.
The only thing he has ever said, was that my father had prayed when mum was pregnant that I will be a baby girl. He told me this when he took me to grandmother's grave. Who die few month after I was Born. That was also the first time I can remember visiting my parent grave.
He told me then that I was a part of the wisdom family not because I called him Dad but because my father is also a Wisdom. I sometimes fear that maybe my biological father did not live a good life, that was why Mr. Wisdom will not say anything. Whatever it may be, I just feel so blessed to have an uncle who is by all means filing the gap my parent left behind.
As I started walking towards the hall where the college will officially be welcoming us, I began to feel nervous . I did not make friends back in high school all thanks to Daniella. she was always on my neck to do this and that for her, like I was her personal maid. In the end I hanged out most time with her friends, who did not see me worthy of their friendship. Thank goodness she was not here, I will have a better chance at making friends and most importantly free from her trouble.
I wish it had occurred to me to take Elizabeth phone number, when we met in the last examination . she is so friendly and full of life, someone like that is what I need. I sat in the first free sit I saw and minute later the program started. The First Lady addressed us and then Mr. Randy come up. Let start this morning with a little unusually mental excises he said.
He randomly picked five students and I was one of them. Giving us five questions about Mount Wing to answer. The questions were quite simple just that he added a little twist. After we turn in our answers I was the only student who had gotten all five questions correctly. Which was quite a surprise for me. Everyone clap for me and Mr. Randy acknowledged me with the nodding of his head. I went back to my sit and the program continued.
We were later grouped according to course of study. creative writing, fine art, music and Dance, and fashion design . We were then given our lecture time table. I was hungry so I went to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I made my order and collected my tray. Then I tried looking for where to sit. I sighted three girls who I have seen early today in the creative writing group. I walk up to them. This may be a good place and time to start making friends.
Hello, I said as I got to the table but they all turned with smug. what do you want? one of the girls replied rudely . I tried to fake a smile then ask if I could join the table. It seems to me that the others did not mind. But the rude girl said no, just because you were able to answer some stupid questions does not mean you can join my table.
I had no idea what that had to do with this. I shake my head and was about walking away when, I heard my name Bella. I turned and realized the voice belongs to Elizabeth. She had that smile and friendliness. I smiled back and walked my way to the table, where she was sitting with another lady.
Don't think too seriously of Lisa Gladstone. She likes been in the spot light, I am just shock she already has her two little devils, Elizabeth said. You know her? I asked as I took a sit.
Yeah we attended the same high school. I can't believe she is still the same. Any way you know flat characters do not only exist in friction, she joked with a smile.
The lady is very rude I commented. Yeah I know, she always wants to be in the spot light. like the Queen Bee and am sure she is just acting up because she already sees you like a competition, Elizabeth said.
I was surprise , I never thought of been competition to anyone. Trust me you don't want to be friends with her. she knows nothing about what that mean. she is too full of herself and wants everyone around her to worship the great Lisa Gladstone.
Wow! Was all I could say. I wonder what she is even doing here? Elizabeth asked after a pause.
Mount wings is the dream baby, the other lady said. Bella meet my friend Tracy, we meet at the first entrance examination, too bad she is in music she introduced her. .
I smiled at the other lady, as we exchange a hand shake across the table. Which department are you I asked turning to Elizabeth. Creative writing she said. But I did not see you in the hall where creative writers were been addressed.
I missed my way and ended up in music class she replied.
No wonder I thought but did not say anything. I heard that we would get to see the CREW Tracy announced blushing.
