Hazel’s POV
“Honey, come on breakfast is ready.” Hearing my mom, I made a run to my study table while wearing my t-shirt. In the morning, she can be dangerous if I skip my breakfast due to any reason be it getting late for my new school. Yes, today I’m going to a new school as a transferred student. I’m really nervous but still want to reach there before the time so that I can explore the campus.
“Honey…” Taking my backpack, cell phone, and sneakers in both hands, I went downstairs and slumped down on the couch for wearing the sneakers. “Oh god, when will this girl learn to be a time.” Placing the breakfast on the dining table she said giving me her glare in between.
“Oh mom, come on I won’t be late today. Don’t worry, I told you already I’m going earlier to explore the campus due to which for sure I won’t be late.” Saying this I got up going to the table and hugged pecking her cheek.
“For you to explore the campus you need to not stop being slow just because you have time. Understood?” Nodding to her opinion I replied with a, “Yes, my dear mommy. See, I am going to finish all these so quickly.”
“NO. You are not going to do this. Eating should never be done in a hurry.” Smiling at her, I shook my head and started eating. Finishing our food we washed our dishes and took our bags. Today, mom will be dropping me as it is the first day and for her peace to reach faster.
“Bye, mom.” Reaching to school and kissing her again for double luck I turned around going inside the gate. Taking a deep breath, I looked around taking in each and every inch of the campus. Going inside, I roamed around the corridors trying to find the dean's office as no one came in view to ask the way. But, instead, I got lost, “How big this school is, I can’t even figure out the way of the corridors,” I said to myself.
Sighing out, I resumed my journey of finding the dean’s office. The campus is well maintained and is structured keeping the needs of the student in mind. The most attractive thing about school for me is its surroundings and the campus, how it is surrounded by trees letting the fresh air enter through the window. So much greenery is here, that I just to shift and stay here permanently on the campus itself.
I know I must be sound stupid, but yeah for being around nature I can do anything. Just leaving one thing and that is living in a forest with those cruel wild animals who only know how to take away the innocents lives. I still can’t forget that one horrible day of my life where for my mommy and me the two innocents were killed unfortunately in the process of just saving us.
“Hey, who’s there? and what are you doing here?” asked someone from behind keeping the hand on my shoulder. Squealing out loudly, I turned around getting scared to find a lady who must be in her fifties standing with a big and brightest smile shining on her face which reflected on my face too as soon as I looked into her eyes.
Her smile is infectious along with her vibe. I can feel a powerful aura around her but still has the warmth of a mother due to which I felt even more relief and happiness upon selecting this school. “Hello ma’am, I am Hazel Walker.”
“Oh, the new student right?” She asked squinting her eyes in doubt. With a big smile, I nodded my head and replied to her, “Yes ma’am, the newly transferred student.” “But, what are you doing here this early?” Looking around she asked with a frown on her forehead and continued “School will start at 8, dear”.
“Yeah, but I wanted to explore and look around the campus. So, I thought coming early would be helpful for me to not skip any classes.” She smiled hearing me and nodded her head. “That’s a new thing I am hearing from the students of your generation.” Standing there not knowing what to say, I just passed a smile. “Okay, now go and do for what you came. Everyone will start coming soon.” Saying this she turned around letting me take a long deep breath which I was holding since I turned around.
I was happy to know that the staff here, cares and has a concern about their students. My time passed walking and exploring around noticing and copying every corner of my new second home in my brain and heart. Yes, my school has always been my second home as I feel here safe, happy, and cozy just like my home. Who won’t feel that when you have friends with you who will think and take care of you just like your siblings and worry for you just like your mom.
Finding the canteen, I went and sat down after getting tired. This school campus is way bigger than my old school but is cozy which I loved about it. Just meeting the other students can say if this coziness is for now only or after meeting everyone too.
.
“Hahaha… okay so where are we going to go tonight?” “Please not the same bar, it was so crowded.” Hearing the voice of someone I raised my head from the novel and saw the campus slowly filling up. Looking around I looked at everyone enjoying and talking with each other with a smile, laughter, and squeals in between.
Getting up from my seat, I went to the counter and paid for my coffee. Walking out, I decided to now go to the dean’s office as soon as the classes will start. But, the problem is that even after exploring the whole school. As I told you before too, this school is so big and I still will need time to remember each and everything.
To be continued….
