I NEED YOUR ATTENTION

2

- Finally, - I breathed a sigh of relief, "the University of Sydney," my friend gave out, who typed on the mobile screen with quick movements of her fingers. - I think I'll like it there.

- The choice is yours, - as if not listening to me now, Aili stared at her screen. "For that, you will be close to your mother," this time, she put her phone aside and looked at me intently. "I'm sincerely glad you made up your mind. It is a pity that we will have to part, - and that was the truth. Aili decided to leave the city, to enter some prestigious university. Only to inform me, she did not want to, for the time being. - Have you already chosen a specialty? She received a nod of approval in response.

- Humanities and social sciences, - my friend raised her eyebrows in surprise, - I want to change my life, - filled with pride, I felt that I could change something in my life. I wanted to discover something new, incomprehensible to me.

- I think you will succeed, - enclosing me in a friendly, gentle embrace, we had to say goodbye. This was our last meeting before we part ways. And most likely our communication will be extremely small.

Mom was already preparing another meal on the occasion of my submission of documents. She was glad that I had taken a serious step into my future. Part of me danced with uninterrupted joy, showing that I had decided on this. Only the second part of me, plunged into darkness, that I would remain completely alone, in a place unfamiliar to me. I already lacked communication with my mother, but here it will not be at all.We started to have lunch, my mother made a beautiful and bright emotional toast, for how she loves and is proud of her daughter. Yes, it calmed my soul that my mother remembered me, was proud, only I needed her caress, and a strong shoulder, in case of support.

After dinner, we put all the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and ran to the beds, minding our own business. Repeating monotonously, lying down on the bed, the words that I can, I will draw out, spun several times. The budget was complex, it will have to invest a lot of time and effort. You can't fiddle. Stop. It's not about me.

August. Autumn time is approaching its beginning. Happy warm, warming days passed like one day. I can not believe that very soon, I will receive the coveted message of admission. Monitor, every five minutes the mail, I went crazy. I couldn't wait to see the result. A friend called every hour to find out how I was doing. Alas and ah. No answer. Frustrated, I closed the lid of my laptop and went to the bathroom to freshen myself up a bit with cool water. Having splashed out, a jet in my face, my body quickly woke up, from the constant gatherings at the chair. Having returned, back, and having drunk tea from a glass, which my mother had only recently prepared, I again returned to my usual business. And about a miracle!

Convulsively, shaking hand, dialed the number, beeps, and the answer.

- I'm scared, - swiping the mouse to the incoming message, I was afraid to click and open the letter.

- Do not be afraid, everything will be fine, - her support was very important at such a moment. For which I was very grateful to her.- I don't believe it, - I whispered, - I did it, - I shouted at the top of my voice, so that Aili almost went deaf, - Budget.

- I told you, you're smart, - Aili said enthusiastically, - Honey, I'll call you back later, it's time for me to pack my bags, kiss you.

After reading several times the letter sent from the university, I jumped for joy like a small child. Joy seethed in my body, producing fountains of happiness. Fireworks blazed in my chest, that there was not enough air to get enough of this happiness. Now it's all up to me. I must not let myself down, not this time.

Magical, and at the same time a rainy day, I packed my suitcase, to the brim with my things, that even closing it was given to me with great difficulty. Mom called a taxi in advance so that I could safely get to my destination. Blood seethed through my veins, everything began to swim in my eyes, he was nervous. He became, absorbed me, stronger, with every approaching minute of departure. A silver taxi, economy class, was already parked outside my house, signaling to get out. Taking deep breaths into your lungs. I breathed out for relief. Taking the suitcase by the arm, we went out with my mother, loading the suitcase into the trunk. Mom's tears melted my soul, I wanted to be with her. Only she did not say goodbye for a long time, giving me a gentle kiss on the cheek, and put me in the car. Looking after.

Alley, after alley. A few exciting hours and we are there. It looks huge, a building hung with ribbons, announcing that the educational procession has begun. Lots of students walking with their belongings towards the building rejoiced and chatted provocatively with their classmates. It's a pity that Aily decided to play a cruel joke on me and choose a place much further than I expected to study. She would definitely love it here. Looking at the landscape was not long, having found a parking place, the taxi driver stopped the car and went out to help, get a heavy suitcase. Thanking her for a good train, I was already on my way to the meeting person, about whom I was immediately informed.

- Welcome, - a sweet-looking girl of medium height called out. "I'm glad to welcome you here." I was instructed to meet you, well, without fail to show what and where to be, - the girl grabbed my hand and led me to the base of the building, where the rest of the people were approaching.

The suitcase was treacherously heavy, from which I practically did not keep up with this girl, she chatted tirelessly. Chatting at every turn. Slightly, I even got tired of her stories, well, too much information, she gave me, in a few minutes of acquaintance.
