CHAPTER ONE
********
I sigh in relief the moment I jot the last word on the answer sheet.
I'm officially done with college.
I place the pen on top of the sheet then look around the room. Everyone is scribbling furiously. That's basically the nature in final exams; everyone wants to give their all.
I glance at Diana, my best friend's heart and she beamed at me. I give her a tiny grin just as the bell goes and the professor glares at the students who are still writing.
Time is up.
I walk down the row and hand in my answer sheet before I stalk out of the room. Diana catches up with me outside the hall.
"Can you believe it? We are so done with college!" She yells then pulls me into a bone breaking hug.
"Aren't you excited?" She asks while furrowing her brows and I shrug.
What's there to be excited about when I'm practically going home to a shell of disaster called a home.
"I am. I just have a different way of showing excitement."
She lifts her eyebrows. "And which is that 'different way?' Pray tell, my pretty different friend."
"That I will be going be to face my sweet loving mum and a horrible monster I call a dad who just got a job as a manager at Hudson Chemical technologies"
She snort at the sarcasm.
"That should be a great news!! Wow!! The biggest company in Jersey and my everytime crush is his son"
"Are we going to start talking about your obsession" I ask while c*****g my head to one side and she bursts out laughing.
"I'm just addicted to sexy things dear"
"This is not my best friend. That's my main bitch."
I point at a random girl in the crowd but she smacked my head and drags me away from the prying crowd.
*****
I'm not exactly what you will call an extrovert. Though I'm totally outgoing and social, something holds me back. I feel a bit insecure around men and I have outright trust issues. I'm fiery as hell and I have very little tolerance to bull crap.
I don't date. I'd rather hook up casually and go on my way. No commitments, no harm done.
And another thing, I'm afraid of darkness. Totally, absolutely scared. You can never tell who is lurking in the dark; can you now?
And yeah, I hate it when the nightmares of my stepfather taking my virginity forcibly haunt me at night.
When I remember the horrible times his friends have their way with me after paying a huge bulk.
I totally hate them, but what can a woman do?
My Mum is in looooove.
Diana, my best friend, however steals the show anytime we are together.
She is a total freak and her mouth is sharper than razor. Whereas I prefer getting all talkative and sassy in private, she talks whatever s**t she wants to wherever she wants, whenever she feels like.
We are not what you'd call party animals, but we let ourselves loose on particular occasions.
Tonight is one of them.
We are d
one with school.
We're going to rock and roll.
