My flight was scheduled for noon so I decided to sleep in, but that was short lived cause mom knocked on my door at 7 am , at this point it was starting to get frustrating to talk to people but still I had to open the door for my mum .
Did I wake you up honey, mom asked . No , I was already up , I lied. So what do you want to talk about mom , I asked.
Mom wrung her hands together before saying . Well honey your grandparents have wished that We return back to city Y and we all join back to the family business . Isn't that great news I asked ." It is but I have not yet spoken about it with your father and brothers yet I don't know how they would feel about it ,mom said .
" No need to worry mom, I assured her , father and my brothers would follow and agree to it if it's what you realy want , I said . What about you ,she asked .
I let out a sigh before speaking " I don't think I am suited for this kind of life in the limelight , once our family comes out of the shadows after so long people will tend to be nosy and dig into our family , I don't want that mom , I want a quiet life , mom I know you can do this but I can't and we will all support you no matter your decision . Mom placed her hands on my face before gently caressing it and said " I won't force you, I don't want to make the same mistake my parents made , I would lose my mind if I where to ever make you drift away from me .
We chatted for a while before i finally got ready and was about to head to the airport , when on my way to say my final goodbye to my grandparents I was suddenly hijacked by grandma who hand me a box and I was stunned before she said " you are so skinny and almost skin and bones I packed you something to eat while on the plane .
I took a peek at the box and saw so much bento boxes filled with different delicacies, was my grandma feeding a battalion with so much food , I plastered a smile on my face and said thank before heading out and Harold dropped me off at the airport , while in the plane I tried to get some much needed sleep as I braced my self for the awaited bustle of the campus and someone whom I had no interest in conversing with .
The plane landed and i headed to the university , luckily classes would start tomorrow , as I made my way to my dorm I met the one person I did not have the time for . "Angela corvin" .
Angela was what I considered noisy , she alway had a way of trying to get on my nerves .
When we got our first project for the freshman year the class was meant to be dived into four groups and with one representative in each who would come out and eloquently discuss on the topic stipulated by the professor , the project was 25 percent out of our grade and everyone was eager about when we were successfully divided into groups the professor requested we pick out a group representative .
Angela was in a different group from me and she was immediately chosen by her group as she had proved her prowess in public speaking on different occasions in lectures , one by one each team picked their representative and when it came to my group a lot of people wished to be a back bencher rather than take the lead when I suddenly volunteered everyone was in temporary shock as no one even realized I was part of the class , there were whispers around but none of my teammates volunteered for the post and I automatically became the representative . Other group openly expressed their thoughts on my incompetence to handle the role and suggested that I would be the reason why my team failed since I was considered a wallflower who rarely ever communicated . Ignoring their stupid remarks I worked hard with my teammates and gathered enough points for my speech and when the day arrived to deliver the speech Angela made hers' first and when she finished everyone applauded her while she held a smug look in her eyes as if stating that no one could beat her speech when it was my turn and I gave my report everyone was flabbergasted and the professor even praised my speech . And that was how the rivalry between myself and Angela was instigated by students and Angela saw me as a threat she needed to belittle to make her self better .
Behaving as though she didn't exist I walked to my dorm and when she approached me while angling and blatantly showing off her outfit which she was wearing to everyone who so much as says hello to her .
Walking in my direction with an air of superiority i her call my name. " Quinn , it seems like you are just arriving , Angela said .
I my head I thought isn't that obvious , I am walking to my room with my luggage , any fool could see I just arrived . Without waiting for her to even utter her next words, I arrived at my dorm and used my key card to unlock the door , I stepped in and slammed the door at her face . My patience was already limited for sane people , I did not wish to waste more of my time on stupid people .
On getting to her room Quinn arranged her clothes into the wardrobe and sorted out the lectures for the next day before taking her shower and a short nap . It was dinner time and while everyone headed to the cafeteria Quinn was woken up by her grumbling stomach, looking for what to eat she noticed the food her grandma prepared and immediately devoured the entire meal .
Taking out her laptop she quickly revised her previous classes and prepared for the next , looking at the clock it was almost 9 pm , Quinn realized she had not exercised since she visited her parents and had temporarily dropped her exercise routines . She decided she would exercise the next evening .
Quinn already had great physique and she only needs to improve her strength and stamina so exercise in the evening was favorable , there are many reasons why she prefers to exercise in the evening, first there are not many people at the gym or even outside and second Quinn values her sleep very much and doesn't like waking up when she was deprived of sleep , therefore she always slept early to get the most amount of sleep.
The next day classes resumed by 9 am ,Quinn was ready and heading to the lecture hall , she immediately settled at the back of the lecture hall like a wallflower while she observed everyone like subjects in an experiment .
The professor walked in and the lecture hall became silent. The professor at the end of the lecture announced there will be a test for the students before the upcoming Christmas break.
Due to this information many students were not happy but couldn't argue either . After another lecture it was soon time for lunch and Quinn realized she was craving for something sweet while not necessarily being hungry , heading to the cafeteria she had the misfortune of running into Angela and her minions , unbothered by their presence Quinn stood in line and waited for her turn while Angela stood behind her.
When it was finally her turn Quinn order a chocolate mousse cake and yoghurt taking her tray she walked away but before she could move too far she heard Angela sneer at her and said to her minions " with the way she eats she will soon be as fat as a cow" . Angela said this in a slightly loud manner so that everyone who was close could hear her and know who she referred it to.
Unbothered Quinn headed for a table, she couldn't care less what people thought of her cause right know she was hungry for the delicacy in her front , simply to put it when Quinn stomach speaks it doesn't stutter and she is willingly to eat what she like without listening to anyone stupid opinions .
