VIVIAN'S POV
I couldn't stop thinking about my first day at school as I nestled in the covers of the velvet colored bed sheet. The rays of light from the morning sunrise shone brightly on the window frame.
I woke up to the whistles of a hummingbird as I with my toothbrush heading towards the bathroom door.
I hated this very day. I was kind of nervous and not sure of the type of people I'll end up meeting with. Horrors of my parents' brutal death haunted me every single moment. I was disturbed with my eyes filled with fear and terror. Their screams will sometimes echo in my ears that I found it difficult to concentrate.
Stuck in the middle of a metropolitan city after fleeing from the woodlands things never got better but I needed to keep calm and try to adapt. But it was a very difficult thing to do……………
"Hop in the car let's get going,"
"Never mind, I'll use my bike instead," I replied
"Just listen to me Vivian. Must you always be a jerk? I'm gonna drive you down there by myself," Nicholas said with arched eyebrows.
"Can you give me some breathing space? I don't enjoy being caged, okay? I'm old enough to drive myself," I told him.
"You can't drive down there alone, they're a lot of roughnecks in downtown Carson street." "Nicholas, you don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine."
I sped off on the motorcycle, looking forward to the beginning of a new day at school. Putting on my headphones as I blasted loud music down the highway driving at an incredible speed as I made my way towards Carson's Bridge.
Few moments later, I showed up at my new school and pulled up at the parking lot before turning off the steaming motorcycle engine.
I alighted, taking off my headphones, relaxing for a while before taking a deep, heavy breath to help me recover from the crazy morning drive. I was apprehensive about enrolling in another
school. Particularly since this is another school with a totally different set of people and I didn't actually have friends over here.
Nobody really took me seriously because my brother Nicholas was always restrictive. I mumbled a few words to myself before stepping out of the parking lot.
"Hey" I heard a voice calling from behind. I hopped in shock and twirled around to see an exceptionally lovely young lady with radiant pink hair standing before me.
"Hi there" I said
"Hi sweetie, I'm Elena Sage" "I'm Vivian" I said smiling
"It seems you're new to this environment?"
"Yeah, Just moved in a few months ago". I nodded trying to avoid direct eye contact. She looked stunning, I was certainly not her match.
"Can I show you around?." She winked
"Yeah for sure," I screeched energetically. I was in an excessive amount of shock at her flagrancy to even acknowledge what was going on.
She showed me around and the next spot was the reception. The place was calm and quiet with only some five to seven workers pacing back and forth.
"You must be the new girl?". "Yes, Ma" I replied
"I go by the name Mrs Latifah. I'm the receptionist, as may be obvious. Here is your class to-do list and your locker number. If you ever need anything, just inform me". she chuckled and I smiled back.
"Much thanks to you," I said and took the files she gave me prior to leaving the reception office.
Elena, in a flash, got the papers from my hand and read over my timetable before screaming loudly….
"Jeez! We're having almost the same schedule, except for one particular subject." She frowned. I giggled not finding it appealing either.
