"Favour am really going to miss you," Camille's younger sister Goodness whined.
"Oh god sister, you just just use the short form 'Fay'," Abraham Goodness' immediate younger brother chuckled, "look Fay, please call us more often OK?"
"OK guys, will you stop behaving like am never going to come back?" Camille asked her siblings quizzically.
And then, the last but not the least Daniella rushes out with puffy eyes from crying, "I will miss you," she envelops Camille in a hug. This scene made Camille's heart break.
Camille has a family of six all together. Herself, her parents and her three other siblings. She's 15 years of age, you may call her too young but she's really intelligent. Her immediate younger sister Goodness is 13years of age about entering senior high school while Abraham, the only boy about 10 entering junior high school. And then, the last kid Daniella, 7 years. They all had a very good family relationship save for some siblings fights.
You can say that their family has a dominant trait of intelligence. Their father, Friday Ashley is a qualified nurse who graduated with a first class degree and expects same from his children. While their mother, Cordilia Ashley is a financial accountant and a business lady.
The family of six were on their way to the garage where the could get a car for Camille. It was almost a five hour drive from home to her campus but Cordilia wouldn't let her take the airplane because she couldn't stand heights.
"Hmm darling, be good OK? Don't get into trouble and make us proud," Cordilia stated.
"Yes Fay, you know your goals and your perspective. Don't get distracted and only then, you can become the best.
"Yes dad and mom, I know and I will. I love you both and I will miss all of you," Camille uttered tearily. She hugged everyone and got into the driver's seat.
She had learnt how to drive not too long ago but she was still a bit nervous.
She cleared her head so as not to get involved in any trouble on her first day.
She started the car gripping the steering wheel tightly and zoomed off leaving home and staying on her own.
She knew this is when and where the journey of her life would begin.
She was on a long drive that seemed almost like eternity while thinking of things that may or may not work for her,
What if a professor hates her?
What about bullies? She wasn't really sure if they bullied in university like in high school. She heard that everyone minded their business and one can only be bullied if it was a personal feud. She had learnt a bit of martial arts because of those vices and also because of her family's status.
She wanted to have a quiet and detached personality so she wouldn't try to please too many people so as not to get involved in any friend's drama.
Before all her thinking could come to a halt, she saw herself in front of her university.
"EAGLE'S HEIGHT UNIVERSITY",
" Now is time," she muttered to herself and drove in.
