Chapter Four ~ The supermarket

"Brrrring" the alarm clock rang making me jump out of bed, I had a gigantic smile on my face.

Today was finally the day I had been waiting for…

I was moving into the dorms today,

I had set the alarm clock for 5am so I could wake up as early as possible, I wanted to make sure I had everything packed and ready even though I had done that a gazillion times already.

I didn't want to leave anything behind… my school was quite a distance from home, it was in a different state, I didn't want to risk that.

I got into the bath tub and had a very soothing bath, I still had a lot of time to play around a little, besides we were leaving by 10am.

I got dressed in a gray hoodie and black jeans with a black Snickers as well… I looked casual, exactly how I wanted to look…

I checked my boxes one more time to make sure I had everything I needed

I headed downstairs for breakfast, Jonas had come to call me down a few moments ago….

"Good morning everyone"

"Finally, your Royal highness decided to grace us with her presence" Ezekiel remarked

I stuck my tongue out at him as a response to his not so funny joke,

Everyone was having breakfast except dad, he rarely had breakfast before leaving for work,

How are you feeling, Ella? My mom asked.

"I am very excited, mom"

My mom was a worrier and I knew she was worried about me even though she tried her best to hide it.

Mom I'm going to be fine besides Jennifer is also there with me.

"She smiled".....she believed my words of assurance

The time grew closer for us to leave, I started having mixed emotions.....I was overly nervous and I felt sad I was leaving my family, I hadn't slept outside my house before, so it was normal to feel this way.

It was time to leave and I started loading my stuff to the back of the truck, my brothers helped too.....

My dad was dropping me off, it was a 5hours journey and I could already sense the awkwardness.

I hugged my mom tightly I wouldn't be seeing her for at least the next 4 months, she hugged me back as tightly as she could, I was fighting my tears back, but they came running down without any caution, I was going to miss her a lot.

I said my goodbyes to my brothers, and they seemed a little too eager to get me out the house.

I sat in the front seat and braced myself for the new life I was about starting.

I wake up suddenly from the sound of multiple horns, I had dozed off, we were in traffic, and it seemed to barely be moving, I hated traffic and everything that came with it. Dad was very focused on his driving, I had not even said a word to him since getting in the car.

"How close are we"? I asked.

"We should be there in 30 minutes, at least that's what the map says" he responded

I nodded my head slightly signaling I had heard him.

The traffic got moving, and we were out of it in a few minutes.

I sighted the school's gate and my heartbeat had increased a million times more my palm were sweating, and it felt like my heart would pound out of my chest, we drove into the school compound trying to locate the dorms.

I was completely dumbfounded, the pictures I had seen online did no justice to how big and beautiful this school was.

Thank you for reading….
