I
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Victoria ☽༓・*˚⁺‧͙
I was able to focus on one goal for the past seventeen years of my life and it works I guess.
I'm sitting on my bed watching the clock above the wall as it continues to move. Tick, tock, tick, tock, I hear it.
I stamp my feet on the floor back and forth waiting for my father to finally call me. I sigh once again waiting when another minute has passed.
My heart is pounding inside my chest as well as my brain that just keep on moving away from reality. Should I still consider going away from my home and to start a new life with my mom? Should I?
This next school year I decided to study at my mom's place so that she will not be alone anymore. When I told dad about my decision, he didn't even think twice to agree. He only told me that I will just be careful, trusting people really easily could put you in great danger, his words echoing in my head.
I walk to my full sized mirror for the last time to check myself. I fix my dark blue hoodie around my body and I tie my hair into a ponytail. I check my face, stopping in my eyes. I'm glad they are in their usual color now, which is brown with a small hint of purple left in some areas.
The colors are still tinted with light purple color around the pupils indicating that I did something unexplainable again. I'm used to it. My eyes are pure brown but when I'm out of myself the color will automatically change into something new, some moments my eyes turn into really dark shades of purple and some circumstances like now, it goes to light shades of purple.
I finally hear my phone vibrating on my bed. I check it to see that my dad is calling me. I quickly top the answer button.
"Time to go Victoria, check your room for the last time," my dad's voice bounces through my phone.
"Okay Dad give me a minute I'm going down," I quickly tap the end button so that I can grab my bag where my important things are.
One sway of my hands, the things I want to have will be on me, I know it's too risky because I'm going out of the house now, but that doesn't stop me from doing it.
I point my right hand on where my bag has been placed. I'm too lazy to get it with my bare feet, so I sway my hand upwards feeling some of my energy going out from my body then instantly my sight is burst in with purple aura shining through the sunlight and that aura immediately lands on my bag. It always doesn't fails to amaze me, the bag lands smoothly on my hand. I release my remaining energy just as the aura slowly vanish from the air.
A small smile creep on my lips. I pick my black glasses inside my bag before putting it between my eyes. I look on my mirror noticing that my eyes are now completely in different color which is always will be the prettiest thing for me.
Only my parents knew that I'm different. They accepted me for who I am, they even helped me enhance my abilities even though it was very hard for them being completely normal who doesn't even have any knowledge about these supernatural things. I owe my whole life to them.
I open the door and close it once I'm outside my room. I can't help but to lean my head against the hard wood.
"I will be back," I whisper and I quickly go down going to where my dad is.
I open the front door revealing my dad and my best friend Trina waiting for me outside our car. Her face lights up when she sees me.
"I ak your dad that I will accompany you going to the airport and he said yes so here I am!" she opens her arm for me to hug her and I don't hesitate to do it.
Trina has been my best friend since we were young. She's half Korean though, having all of the features of her mom being Korean except her skin color being tan that she gets on her father. She's the only person who can tolerate me. I tend to get so sensitive sometimes because of different reasons but she never left me and I love her because of that. She doesn't know I have magical abilities and I don't plan on telling to her. I don't want to be the reason she'll be in danger.
"It is so lovely you came," I tell her once we broke the hug.
"Join me ladies when you're done," my dad dismisses us before going to the driver's seat.
"Of course my best friend is going to the other side of the country so that means we'll not going to see each for the next couple of months," she answers, her eyes starting to glisten. She can't see that my eyes are starting to feel wet too because of my sunglasses.
"I told you that I will call you if I have time and don't forget to message me so that we can stay connected to each other okay," I say to her and she nods. After what I said, I open the door in the back seat and we slide in together.
"You Ready Guys," My dad asks, glancing at me in the rear view mirror, noticing that I'm wearing my sunglasses, he only raises his eyebrows before he begin to drive.
Minutes passed and the airport came into view. I exhale, releasing the building anxiety inside of me.
"Don't ever replace me with somebody else or I will put your ass down," Trina suddenly says out of nowhere beside me squinting her eyes on me.
"Of course you are irreplaceable Trina," I assure her and dad stops the car in front of the entrance. We get down the car together, my dad going at the back of the car to get my stuff. I tell him I can get it but he insists the he shall do it.
"I will miss you Ria," Trina hugs me again, this time goes more warmer and harder. I put my hands around her shoulder, squeezing her too.
"I will miss you too Trin," I whisper before we finally break our hug.
My dad puts my bags down, handing me a pack of mint flavored candies. I get dizzy easily and I was actually really happy that my dad remembered to buy me this type of candies.
"Your mom will be waiting for you outside the airport and I know it's been ten years since the last time you saw her but don't forget you have the same looks just like her kid," My dad says looking down at me before ruffling my hair, I chuckle.
"Okay dad I will call you once I get home with mom, before I almost forget I will be extra careful using my abilities," I whisper at the end of my sentence so that only dad can hear the last part, he nods.
"I love you kid and be careful," Dad says hugging me so tightly, I almost can't breathe.
"I love you and I will always."
I wipe the tears threatening to fall into my eyes under my sunglasses. I wave to them for the last time and they wave at me back as the door closes behind me.
I hope things will not be difficult once I get to my mom's place. I hope it will be all okay.
