I had spent the first night all by myself into the unknown world, with unknown people. I have no one by my side to share my loneliness, there is no one to comfort me. Everything was new to me, I felt so strange.
I sobbed with tears, I was drenched into this strange world, I've attempted to get control of my tears, but my eyes won't obey it. It keeps falling.
"Anne...are you okay?" Amelia appeared by my side.
"Are you crying?" She wept my tears.
She had reminded me of my friend Dorothy. Recollecting the past memories, the moment that I've spent with her, more tears began to shed. Amelia comforted me, without asking the reason behind my melancholy she told me that my parents would be safe and sound. Judging from this I have got a point that she'd already understood my sadness. I was so grateful to my life for blessing such friend to me.
It was a very bright morning. The chirping of birds, and the insects reminded me of my hometown. As soon as I finished splashing some water on my face, I was back to my sense that actually, this place was far away from my village.
I found myself so bright with a new school uniform. Sudden eagerness surged into me as I realized myself, I was waiting near a football ground to meet my new classmates.
"Anne...let's go together "Amelia came to me.
I agreed her and we went to class together. My eyes kept searching for Edward...but he was nowhere to be found.
"Hey...what are you looking for? "a familiar voice stroked out right beside me.
I thought Amelia was sitting with me, but I was shocked to see Edward sitting by my side. I stole a glance from him, from his expression, I knew that he was waiting for me to tell something.
"Nothing...just staring "I lied to him.
Actually, I was looking for him. I Stared back, Amelia was sitting with Dororo. I could see them smiling and chit-chatting from the first day itself, as if they've met before.
"I wished them good luck and happy couple "I whispered to Edward. He broke into a big laughter.
"From the first day, first period, you are speaking silly things "he told me still laughing.
"Anyhow they will make a perfect couple "he added.
He really did smile, this time, it's first time for me seeing him smiling like this. Really a friendly smile. The classmates were all brilliant one, they were from different schools, from the first day itself, I found out that it was affable class.
"Anne...did you heard something about Eleanor Rosie? I mean...do you have contact with Eleanor?" He muttered, with an unfamiliar tone in his voice.
From his word, the way of his talking, I've felt that he has still got some tender feelings to Eleanor.
"No... why so?" I asked him. I tried to communicate with him in a normal accent as I usually used to, but my mouth stumbled.
"Am I jealous? "I asked myself.
That's impossible..."Nothing... leave it then "saying that he turned towards Dororo and Amelia and made a company with them.
I was scared that he might have taken my words to his heart. It has been almost a week, since I've joined as one of the family of Stortford University. I have met so many friends, both boys and girls, but most of the time I spent my time with Amelia, and I could find out that we were able to grow a special bond call best friend.
After departing from Dorothy, I have realized that how much important role she has played in my life. Her absence has created an empty vacuum in my life. Departing is natural phenomenon after meeting, that's what we call as life. This is the next chapter of my life. I thought of ending the earlier chapter with a wonderful memory but without Dorothy I ended up having a dreadful memory.
"Anne... your mom was here for you "matron told me once.
With full of excitements, me and Amelia began to run towards the school entrance. Edward's mother, Dororo's parent and my mom was there for us. Edward and Dororo was there too. I've missed her so much; I was all waiting for such time to happen. With her, my mom, I felt that time was ticking so fast, in a second pace...I hugged her and cried there. She keeps saying not to cry but I could see herself sobbing with tears, drenched in a field of sorrow and departure.
"Last time...Dorothy has handed to me saying that this book belongs to you "my mother lended me a book. I inscribed the book, the words written inside and found out that it was my diary, the one Kathanie has taken from me."I thought of reading it, but it was your diary so...I left it "my mother told me in a humorous way.
"Study hard...take care of yourself. No need to worry about me and brother. We will be safe at home "saying that she gave me a terminal farewell hug.
After reaching back at hostel, I opened my diary book and began to read. I laughed a lot,since I have written so many funny things in that,the clear scenario of my past memories is giving me a vivid rememberances. After sometimes I have cried to. There is so much of painful past sealed there. At a terminal page,there was something written with a black gel pen. I somewhat felt the familiar handwriting. I inscribed the passage....
Dear Anne...
I hope you are fine and doing great in your new school. Anne...I thought of giving your diary back to you during your stay at your school, yet, I can't. Kathanie has locked your diary with her stuffs. I know you have got some hatred feelings on me and I can say that I do deserve this. I could have done the same thing if I am in your shoe. I am sorry for that, I've heard that Edward and you are studying at same school, that's great! To be open...back then...I have crush on Edward, I have approached him, but he denied it. Because of greed, I have lied to you saying that we are in relationship but in fact we are not. Edward told me that he loves you since his secondary school days and I was just jealous of you and done so many things to you. The way he behaves Infront of you, I could feel his love for you. You are the special seat mate I have in my Life. Thank you for your support till now. Good luck and study hard. Life goes on, you will never get a chance to experience this youth back into your old age...so treasure it and keep moving forward. Good luck in your life...fighting!!
With love ( Eleanor Rosie)
