FATED TO THE BEAST

Ariana's pov It's my first day of college, I'm going to be studying medicine. I've always wanted to be a doctor since I was a kid. I'm now getting ready for my first day, I'm a little nervous and excited as well. I hurry down the stairs and into the kitchen where my mom's busy preparing breakfast for us. Good morning mom, I greeted and pecked her on her cheek. Good morning to you to sweetheart, she greeted cheerfully. I drew out a chair and sat down, waiting for my mom to serve me breakfast. "So Anna are you ready for your first day of college?" She inquired placing a plate of bacon and eggs Infront of me. "Yeah" I'm, I think I'm definitely going to enjoy college than I did with school. I despised attending school the reason was, I was often bullied and ridiculed because of the colour of my eyes and hair, my is sliver. Many times I tried dying it however the color always seems to return so I now I've gotten tired dying it. the kids at school used to call me a freak so I hardly had any friends due to bullying. I sometimes used to hate myself for having two different colour eyes and a hair that's sliver, one of my eye is ocean blue and the other is bottle green. "I'm sure you're going to enjoy college", Mom quipped interrupting my thoughts. Yeah I just hope so mom, I don't want it to happen again. I know sweetheart and I promise it won't be the same, she assured. She sighs and places a hand on my shoulder,giving it a light squeeze. It's different over here Anna so don't you worry, it's going to be okay. I sigh. I hope you're right mom. "Right about what freak?", My sister Jessica questioned as she stepped into the kitchen behind her was my brother Kaden. Jessica and Kayden are twins and they are pretty close. "Jessica", I've warned you to stop calling your sister names!, mom chided. What can we do mom when she looks like a total freak!, My brother chuckled. "You two better stop with this!" mom warned. Before this starts to get any worse than it is I better get going. Mom, I have to go I don't want to be late for my first day, I said getting up from the table. "But Anna you hardly touched your breakfast" "It's fine mom" I'm not hungry, I assured her and got up to leave glancing between my two siblings who seemed busy chatting away. Alright then all the best for today sweetheart, mom wished and placed a kiss on my forehead. My siblings suddenly starts to chuckle. I ignore them and walk out. Sometimes I wish I was the only kid because my siblings are my biggest tormentors. They loath me which I have no idea as to why but I don't give a damn. I get into my sports car that my aunt Emma had gotten me for my sixteenth birthday which was last year. Emma is my mom's younger sister. I miss her dearly, I wish she were here. She was cool and would let me do anything I'd want too. she's done a lot for me since I were a kid. At the age of seven I was forced to live with her because my father whom I despise never wanted to have anything to do with me. He gave my mom an ultimatum it's either I go or he goes. My mom obviously chose her husband over her kid who couldn't even defend herself. Ever since then my aunt Emma took me in as her own. She loved and cared for me as if I were her own daughter and I'm forever grateful for what she's done. As for my mom she to used come visit whenever my father was out of town or gone on a business trip. She would bring me gifts or take me out and tell me how sorry she was for what my father had done. As much as I wanted to hate her for choosing my father over me I couldn't, I couldn't hate her because it wasn't her fault. I knew and saw the way she cared and loved that monster but he never loved or cared about her. All he used to do was inflict pain on her, he abused her in ways I can't describe. I felt sorry and helpless, helpless that I couldn't do anything to help her get away from him. The reason why I'm here is because my aunt Anna is dead, she died a month ago. I was devastated and sad I had lost someone whom was so close to me someone who I considered as my mother although I had one. At first it was pretty difficult adjusting into my new home, I felt like an outcast, I don't feel comfortable or thrilled living here it's because of my mom I'm here. She's the reason why I've returned. She pleaded with me to come back and promised that my father wouldn't interfere nor bother me. I actually listened to her and returned only to discover that my siblings as well as my father still has this hatred for me. I wish I knew why they hated me this much anyway it isn't important because I have a plan of my own. I'm planning on leaving and living my life the way I've always wished to live it. I've reached campus, I park car my into the parking lot and grab my stuff. I approach the massive building Infront of me. I somehow managed to find my first class, which wasn't difficult. I enter the room to find it empty, there's no one here but me, I guess I'm a little too early. I stride into the empty classroom and choose a seat at the back. I plop down onto the chair and pull out a book to read in the meantime. A few minutes later I hear the door opening, I look up to see a tall brunette. I pick up my book and continue reading. "Hey there," I heard her call. I place my book onto the table and notice the girl is standing right besides me. Hi do you mind if sit next to you?, she pointed to the vacant seat next to me. "No, not all" I answered. "I'm Mia", she introduced herself. I'm Ariana but you can call me Anna. "Okay Anna" it's nice to meet you. Same here Mia. Do you have any idea what time classes are going to start? I glance at my wrist watch, it should be starting anytime from now, I replied. The teacher just then enters followed behind her is the students. She introduce herself first and thereafter commences with teaching. The day goes by pretty quick, it's now time for me to head back home.
