"YOU CAN'T GET INTO COLLEGE?!" The loud deafening voice bounced off the mansion.
"Elle, I-"
"I brought you up all these years only to see this?! All the other kids are doing so well! Why can't you be like them?! You're so stupid!!" She spat out.
"I-"
"Just go up to your room! I don't want to see your face"
I heaved a sigh and picked up my satchel on the floor and made my way up. It's just pointless trying to reason with her.
Elle isn't my mom. I have no parents. Don't ask me where they are. All I remember was spending my childhood in this huge mansion. Elle wasn't always this mean. Ever since John, her husband, and someone I could call a father, passed away, she just became ....this. She doesn't hate me. It's just that sometimes she gets very feisty.
I know I didn't do that well. But I could still get into the pre university that I want. I've always wanted to go there. I know it isn't that good. But something inside me just wants to go there.
The only thing is, it's miles away.
Its in London.
Would Elle let me go?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alia!!!"
"Hey V" I giggled through the phone.
V is someone really close to my heart. He is the only person I've let into my world. It wasn't easy bringing down my walls for him at first. But since I've known him for ages, since we were kids, it was sort of easier. He's like a brother to me. In fact, he is a brother.
"How did you doooooo?!"
"I don't think I did that badly but Elle begs to differ. I can get into Stanford.."
"Woah woah wait what? There's no Stanford in, YOU MEAN LONDON STANFORD?!"
"Yes you fool" I laughed.
"We'll you've got to come here then!! Have you told Elle?!"
"Um not really she's pretty mad right now."
"Oh it's fine then. Uni doesn't start in two weeks so I'll come over to help you out!"
"What? Seriously?!"
"Yes love. I'll probs be there tomorrow. Bye!"
"Bye V. See you!"
"You too!"
Then the line went dead.
Oh dear. I forgot to introduce myself.
I'm Alia. I'm turning 17 really soon. I don't have any friends. No parents. Nothing. I'm a nobody. And that's how my life has been. Ever since John left and my parents being undiscovered. Trust issues have been a major problem. Not only that, I have anxiety problems when I step out in public. Pretty sure my massive amounts of insecurities adds up to that.
But that's pretty much me.
--------
I put the last of my bags into the trunk and slammed it shut.
I'm leaving. Finally.
V came over a week ago to explain everything to Elle and well she didn't agree at first. I still think she doesn't agree but she's given me everything I needed in London.
"Here take this." She handed me a card.
Credit card?
"I don't want you working or staying in a dorm or whatever. Get a hotel and then get a house later. Ok?"
"Um yeah sure Elle"
"Heard those dorms are usually infested" she muttered to herself.
"Elle?"
"What?!" She snapped.
"I'm gonna miss you"
Her fierce eyes softened as she looked up at me.
She pulled me into a hug which of course shocked me a little.
"I'm gonna miss you too. I love you ok?"
"Alright people we've got to go!!" V informed us.
"Love you too. Bye Elle"
I gave her a small smile and made my way to the passenger sit beside V.
Then the car started moving.
And I'm on my way.
From Leeds to London.
