Chapter 1
I sighed loudly as I put on my headphones and scrolled down the screen of my phone in search of music or anything to keep me busy.
It has been six months since I've been waiting for the admission letter into the college of my dreams.
Holland College.
Oh, how I love that place.
It's a private college.
It was a dream place for any young teenage girl like me would love to go to.
Besides my girl bestie, Ciara already got admission in and is hoping I get to join her soon enough.
I sighed again before pressing my thumb on one of Taylor's Swift songs.
I love her songs and I see her as a model.
I hummed the ongoing song as I walked down the stairs, then headed to the kitchen.
I brought out a box of cereal.
Frizzle pops.
Oh, how I love this cereal.
I grinned as I poured a large quantity in a bowl, added milk from the carton, and stirred it up.
I walked to the living room, then picked up the TV control and walked up to my favorite seat.
It was the best seat to view the TV and the closest to the refrigerator.
Then I switched on the TV and put on teen wolf.
I ate while listening to music and watching TV.
If mom would have seen me, she'd have concluded that I'd gone insane.
After hours of watching, I didn't realize I had fallen asleep till the doorbell rang.
I hurriedly took off my headphones and returned the bowl to the kitchen and then rushed to open the door, it was my mom and she held a file in her hands.
"Hey, mom," I said and she smiled before pulling me in for a tight hug.
"My sweetheart, I'm so proud of you," she said releasing me.
I gasped a little for air, "You've always been."
"But today's own is so special," she said and handed the file over to me.
I hurriedly opened it and brought out the paper in it.
I gave mom a questioning look and she gave me the 'go on' look.
"Dear Tiffany Jones, your approval to join College of Holland has been approved, we would like to have you in our midst anytime from now." I read out loud.
STOP THE TRAIN!
OH, MY BRAIN!
"I'm finally in!" I yelled and then shut my mouth when I realized I was a little too loud, and mom hates noise.
Mom only giggled and pulled me in for another round of the air squeezing hug.
"Now you'll need to get everything you need." Mom said giving me a peck on my cheeks.
My smile faded when I then realized that I'd be leaving Aiden behind.
He was a very close friend of mine since middle school and hoped that we'll enter the same college.
He'd tried convincing me to go to our home's college.
I was reluctant because I'd always liked Holland College right from middle school...and because my brother currently stays there, besides it's only like 52 miles away from home.
I debated on whether to call him or not and ended up dialing Aiden's number.
He picked it up and I breathed in and out before placing it on my ear.
"Hey, Aiden," I said.
"Hey, Tiffy," Aiden said.
"So uhmm I got the admission."
"Woah, seriously I'm so proud of you girl."
"Like seriously you're not mad at me."
"Why the hell would I be mad at someone's success."
"Yeah."
"Life goes on."
"Bye."
I cut the call without waiting for his response.
It's gonna really hard for me to leave Aiden behind.
Well like he had said...life goes on.
...with or without you.
