Chapter one: Leaving home
I never thought of myself as the girl who would run away from love because I didn't want it. I'm not a coward; it's just scary.
It all started a few months ago. I got accepted into the University. My parents were very proud of me but didn't want me to move away at the same time. I moved to the dorms and I took the best one. I applied months ago before getting accepted to the college, I worked so hard in multiple part-time jobs from restaurants to cleaning houses and it was obvious that room was mine. I started by cleaning the room .it was the most important thing to do, I hate dirty places and the idea of other people sleeping and doing their business in this room made me want to vomit. I scraped every inch of the room. I worked for the past five years so I can only have the privacy I always dreamed of. I mean, I had to share my room with four sisters until the first two moved to college and got married. I spend the last three years sharing the room with my little sister. She is the type of person who gets cold easily and I'm the opposite. That creates a lot of complications. For real we fought like cats.
Now, finally, I'm alone. I want to be alone and I think I love to be alone. By the way, I always run from love. I feel like my life was already crowded with people and I don't think I need an extra human to join my life. I decided to run away. I hated how my mom tried to convince me to date her friend son. She thought because he was a nerd we are going to get along and become lovers .
From home most peacefully and respectfully joining the farthest university I could find so I could start in a place that is all mine. My parents insisted that I join the local city in our town but I changed everything behind their backs I couldn't tell them the truth. It is the only act of repelling I have ever done. I was always the good-goody daughter who followed the rules and the first place in her school.
It was not the only reason for choosing this school I'm not stupid. This city has the most gigantic library in the whole country. I want to know about it and maybe one day work there. Think I don't fall in love with human beings. I only fall for book characters. I know nothing about love but seeing my sister heart's broken over and over made me decide to protect mine from this harmful feeling as long as I breathe.
I plan to study hard, work and be very successful until I don't have time for any unneeded distractions from Bing the girl who owns the biggest publishing house ever. My family will understand then how I choose the best decision for myself even if didn't fully support it. And being in this university is the first step to becoming what I want.
I went to the registration office to arrange my schedule, I thought I was the first it was almost seven but the place was full of students. I can see the remains of high school. In the first half hour the Drama club girls with those gothic clothes and dark makeup, only come this early because they didn't sleep. The bodybuilder's gang think that they can get any girl they want, those boys discipline themselves until they think they can join the army. And of course, my people with their glasses book the nerds. The line is so long and I started to zone out of this place going back to question my decision. I'm the only one in my family to flow away from the nest. Of course, I came by plane which makes it figurative and literally. I made everyone cry and this guilt is haunting me. I want to see more experience. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a small place.
Hi, you big head girl with glass, the lady is calling you said the boy with the ugliest eyebrows which look like Super Mario moustache.
What's your name dear, said the office lady before I was able to replay
I can't fight with him, not on my first day. I was always the little sister of the popular girl who provided me with protection somehow. No one was allowed to pull me. The girls were nice to me because they didn't want to fight with my sisters and the boys were desperate to show them how gentle and cool they were. Idiots, it has a lot of advantages I got free drivers to any place I want and nice fake treatment .¡ here I'm only the nerd and I'm planning to become an ostrich who covers her head hoping no one could notice her. Luckily no one heard him but me and the lady or that nickname gonna stuck forever. I'm going to ignore this one because of the kindness of my heart.
Alice Moon, I said.
