LOVE IN THE SHADOWS

I was not born with silver spoon, but came from a background average. I am tall and swim with leaking it, people say my footsteps are quite stress and my smiles _ charming. Nothing easy ever came my way except this scholarship that brought me to st Mary's high school. I know I was delighted, but I didn't know I was the opposite of what the schools atmosphere held dear to heart: power, affluence and authority. first day in school didn't smile at me. while others were eating their cheese and cakes, some homemade as some but from the cafeteria, I go down my local school and watched it down with sachet water. No friends, no informalities. what else would I have done that it's quietly. new girl, New environment command new vibes, new life. well, that actually something less privileged students like us didn't have, freedom. I can remember one of the incidences in a flash. just me and my school bag, working in the hallway when I hate an authoritative voice from behind raise a command, "stop !stop! new girl". I froze, something have tried to avoid all my life. That was Michelle. she was notorious and of course rich. fellow student better than me obeyed her call so who was I not to do so. they pushed me to the floor and asked me to apologize. Yes I did, but my heart ached. They moped me at the left me alone, at least that was the least I wished for, to be left alone. I went back home sad and wear a full stop mom try to get a hint of what was wrong with me but hell no, I shouldn't bother her with my struggles. I cried myself to sleep, I thought you humiliated but I believed there was more to get than this. I woke up the next morning, I get feeling better, with an inner strength I couldn't explain. I found myself in front of the mirror memorial word to myself comma"you are strong enough, you aren't any less, better things lie ahead". those words alone were enough for the day, come what may .....
