Finally, Harvard!

"Beep," I woke up on the sound of my small alarm clock , and moved to the bathroom to wash up and remove all the grease that has formed a thick layer on my face. Well it's not like I am living a fairytale that I would never have to take care of these stuff. Though I wish it was.

I opted for my loose white crop top with my denim jacket to insulate some heat to keep me warm.

I grabbed my phone and my assignments that I had to submit today.

I walked to my locker as usual and left the papers in it that I did not need today. I plan to go to principal's office after school today. I hope I can meet him then.

Well, if you did not guess already that's because I want to wait for Jason for one more day. I'm still clinging to the small thread of hope that he will come back soon.

I walked to my first class and sat on the first empty seat I could locate. I did not want to waste anytime looking for a chair when I did not care wherever it was going to be.

Our Ap calculus teacher came and started to solve some problems on the board. I kept on copying them as some sort of practice.

"Alright, so guys I have written some questions here I hope you can solve them before class finishes." He said with a cheeky smile.

I rolled my eyes at his enthusiasm, while many other students took a privilege to whine at this as usual. But he did not take notice of that.

"It's better that you solve it now, otherwise point deduction from finals," he declared and moved to sit on one of the chairs with some papers in his hands.

"Let's get this over with." I mumbled solving the first problem. I looked at the previous one he had solved himself and it was almost the same. So it did not take me a lot of time to solve it.

But the second was tricky, let me tell you how much.

"It's not in whole syllabus." I shook my head and continued messaging my scalp.

"Should I go for 'x' first or finding 'y' first would be easy?" I said pointing to variables with my pen one by one.

I ended up solving the question after 10 more minutes anyway. I stood up and went to Mr. Wilson.

"Here sir," I said placing my sheets on his desk grabbing his attention from his papers.

"You already done Ms. Walters?" He inquired at which I gave him a small nod. He gave me an impressed look and started looking through the equations.

"You did great as usual, no wonder you received acceptance letter already." He said viewing the equations.

I looked at him once more and grabbed my sheets and sat down on my chair back. Some of students were still looking through the equations or some were sleeping without solving them.

I reached for my phone in my pocket and unlocked it. I looked through messages and then calls to find any from Jason or from any other new number. But mine had none other than Savvanah's message that she had reached Australia and was now unpacking, she said she will video call me soon.

I opened the text and replied her,

"Sure thing, get some rest first." And again placed the phone back in my bag.

I looked through all the tables in cafe to locate Marie again today, but she was nowhere to be seen. My suspicion of her being with him were now getting worse. I did not want to believe it still somehow. It was not like we were in a relationship, but her being with him made me jealous, I was hurt that she was with him, most of all I was feeling that I did not matter to him.

It was the end of school day now.

I had to go to principal's office now. I was dreading this moment since morning, but I had to do it anyway.

I stopped by my locker and took out envelop and started to move to the office.

I knocked at the door, wishing he would not be there so that I might not have to talk to him, I might not have to make a decision. I would usually go to mom for a decision if I could not make one. That is also why I went to Damon yesterday.

I know what I want to do, but I don't know why my heart feels heavy.

"Come in," I heard his muffled voice again.

I opened the door and slowly walked to his desk, he was surprisingly not working on any files today but was sitting there silently.

"I was expecting you," he said with a smile. I looked at him and placed my letter on it.

"Sir, I have signed it. I would like to go join the course." I told him gulping.

"I knew you would make this decision it was the best after all." He said taking the envelope and checking it himself.

"Umm, about the arrangements," I trailed off.

"Ohh, yeah." He said and looked at the computer screen. "I had sent your documents those were needed. And I was notified you were assigned a dorm room from university. But if you don't want to take it you can arrange it for yourself. I will have Ms. Montgomery, send the details to you by mail." He said slowly scrolling the mouse.

I nodded and said, "Thank you sir,"

"You should go by tomorrow if you want to reach there on time for the beginning." he said now looking at me.

"Yes sir, I will." I curtly answered him,

"You can go now." He said and I turned to leave the room in a daze.

I felt some weight was taken off my shoulders, but somewhere I could feel my heart getting heavy. I don't know if I made the right decision, but as Damon said I had to make a decision for myself.

"I made it for myself for once." I said walking to the dorm.

I walked in the dorm and started packing everything I had with me here. That was not much a single yellow suitcase I had with me. I had already packed it when I went to live with mom in the hospital. So it did not take me a lot of time.

After packing my stuff I thought it would be best if I went to the gym and told Mr. Williams about me going out of the city now.

I reached the gym after an hour I did not have to do anything for the homework as I'll be leaving tomorrow anyway.

"You are early," I turned to see Mr. Williams standing in the ring watching me from afar.

I walked to him with a small smile.

"Yes sir, I did not have anything better to do." I told him.

"That's good that you are here then, I can use your help." I nodded and took the gloves in his hands that he was offering me.

"I won't be coming from tomorrow." I told him as he was coming out of the ring. He stopped walking and looked at me.

"Why?" He asked me confused.

"I was offered a full scholarship in Harvard and the sessions start in two days. I have to leave for Massachusetts tomorrow."

He beamed at hearing this.

"You don't need anything, do you ?" He asked again after me explaining to him about all of this.

"I will have to find some part-time job to meet ends, but I'll be given dorm for my stay. So I don't think it will be difficult." I reasoned.

"Ask me if you need any help. Oh! Come to my office when you are free from here." He said and moved to his office.

"All I need to do now is leave tomorrow." I mumbled going to the guys to see their progress.
