Deferred Freedom

Ulyssa's Pov, “I’m so tired of this house!” I shouted, standing in the middle of my bedroom with my suitcase half-packed. “I’ve lived here for eighteen years like a prisoner, i need freedom, Mom, Real freedom!” My mother crossed her arms, her face tight with anger; “Freedom? you don’t know what freedom is, Ulyssa we have protected you, everything we did was for your own good.” “Protected me?” I laughed, “you mean controlled, no phone after eight, no friends outside school, no boys, no life. I am eighteen now, i’m not a little kid anymore!” My father stood silently by the door like he always did, letting my mother do the talking. “You will go to Dominion Private College and you will behave, one mistake and we bring you straight back home”. The drive to college was silent and heavy, I was driven by my parents through the tall iron gates of Dominion Private College by my parents precisely four days after my birthday. The campus was stunning, lawns of lush greenery, towering palm trees, and sophisticated cream-colored buildings that shone brightly in the sunlight. But i was not deceived, this was not the exciting and exciting college life that I had imagined for myself. It was still a cage, but it was more attractive and had more stringent regulations. In spite of this, my stomach was churning with nervous excitement as I rolled my heavy suitcase into the dormitory for the girls. I had been under constant surveillance for seventeen years before I was finally given my own room. Even though the curfew was at eight o'clock sharp and security checked our bags as if we were entering a prison with the highest possible level of security. Even though I was still unpacking, my phone suddenly lit up. Chat with other people in "My Inner Circle" Talia: The west wing on the third floor!!! Room number 312. Who is in the neighborhood? It's 314, Aria! Where have you gone, Ulyssa, you babes? The number 310 is Gemma. This is something that we actually did. The number 308! Get out of here within the next five minutes! My grin was so broad that it hurt my face. By means of our clandestine online group chat, these four young ladies had been my savior for a period of several months. Before the start of the school year, we had already planned everything out together, how to make it through the tight regulations, a method for smuggling in snacks. Is it possible to finally live like a typical teenager? A moment later, the hallway was filled with excited shouts and embraces. Talia Hart was a daring and stylish individual who was always chewing gum and was prepared to make a comeback. In addition to having the most beautiful laugh and the most beautiful eyes, Aria Lennox had a soft voice. Gemma Brooks was a brilliant individual with a sharp tongue who had the ability to make anyone laughed or cry with just one sentence. She was always the one who encouraged us to be a little bit reckless, and Lila Rivera was a little girl who was fearless. Next, there was me to consider. Ulyssa Voss, the young lady who had spent her entire life anticipating this particular moment. The five of us became inseparable from the very first week that we were together. When we were together, we did everything, including laughing, whispering secrets, and making plans as if we owned the entire world. Young, free, or at least as free as Dominion allowed us to be, and so beautifully naive were the characteristics that characterized us. A period of two months passed in a flash. After that, I had the opportunity to meet him. He went by the name Kael. When I was in Literature class, he was sitting two rows behind me. During the very first time that he communicated with me, he leaned in close to me, whispering in a low and friendly tone. “Your writing is always done in a black ink. It's adorable." That was all that was needed. With just six words, i conceded He was charming in a way that was both fresh and terrifying at the same time, the way he cared about me, the good morning texts , walking me to my class despite the fact that it caused him to be late, and how he looked at me like i was the only girl on the entire campus who mattered. The feeling of falling in love with Kael was like jumping off a cliff for a young lady who had never been permitted to have feelings for a boy. And what is the most insane aspect? It was beginning to look like he might be able to catch me.
