Clover's POV I want to dance.It's all I've ever wanted to do.Movement sets me free,alive almost.
I'm clover.I'm 21.I'm leaving home today. I'm also terrified.It's a long drive from my new life and my old one.One Ive been waiting for for a long time.Hugging my mom I look back to my house as I wave,walking to my car.She blows me a kiss and I catch it like always and hold it to my chest. I wave one last time and step into my car.She's still waving when I check my rear-view mirror and tears prick my eyes.I start the engine and hold down the steering wheel as I drive off whilst laughing at my moms smile.I can still see her tears. I look forward making sure to not forget what I've left behind.But excited for what is waiting for me ahead. I drive...and drive...and drive.This takes too long.I start getting antsy.Tapping my hands on the wheel to the beat of the song to make time go quicker and yet it doesn't...I'm still driving. ******************************************** Three hours away from home and I've made it.I've began renting a small loft apartment with the help of my mom and I step out the car in excitement.Dancing around to unload my stuff I grab as much of my items as I can and kick the door of my car shut. I walk up many,many stairs before reaching the door to my apartment and I nearly squeal in anticipation.I very strategically manoeuvre the items I'm carrying and my hands to unlock the door and I stride into my new home.New.Mine.Home. I look around as if I haven't seen it before...I have online but in person it seems so surreal.I walk in and I'm straight away in the living room and the only thing inside is a dusty red sofa that was brought here a couple days before my arrival as well as a bed which I believe is in a separate room and a coffee table.To the left is a small kitchen in which is open plan and decorated with cream colours as well as a necessities like a fridge and an oven. To the right is a door that leads into my new room and a bathroom connected to it.There's another toilet next to the kitchen.My arms begin to ache as I stand in the door way still in awe of where I'm now living. I place all the boxes on the kitchen side and go back down to get a few bags I left behind. When I get back I slump onto my sofa unable to hide my excitement anymore.I giggle at myself and stride into my bedroom.There's a double bed which my mom insisted in buying me as well as some drawers and a wardrobe.The walls are a creamy colour and the floors a dark oak.I take a moment to uncover the blinds and take a look outside.The sun hitting my face and almost blinding me.The view is beautiful as I look out and see the bustling city below me.I notice a small coffee shop I hadn't before and make a mental note of that as I will be visiting often. *********************** I finish unpacking all of my stuff and take a moment to look around.It's small and quaint.I love it. My backpack is on my bed,I open it and unload the few items I hold dearest.A picture of my mom and dad and me when I was seven at the Grand Canyon.He looks so happy.We all do.I shake my head and look back in my bag.I pull out a jewellery box that has a necklace my mom got me as well as my grandmas wedding ring.She passed two years ago and insisted in me having it.I miss her. I take out a few books and last but not least my dinosaur plushie.His name is Peter and I love him.He's a blue triceratops with obvious years on him but if your comfort blanket or stuffie isn't somewhat falling apart is it even important? He has lost a horn over the years but my mom sewed the whole back up.I hug him to my chest at the thought of my mom.I move my bag onto the floor and it hits it with a bang.What did I miss? It was a picture frame and the photo was of me and my mom on my eighteenth birthday.She's wearing a pink dress and I'm wearing a green one.She's hugging me and I'm kissing her cheek.Tears threaten to fall and I instinctively pull out my phone to call her. She picks up straight away. "Hi baby are you settling in ok?"the sound of her voice sends me over the edge and I begin to cry already feeling homesick. "Yhea I'm ok just missing you"I sniffle and I can hear her laugh at me. "Oh dear well I miss you too,I'm glad you're settling in." We stay on call for an hour before she has to leave and I reluctantly say bye. I look outside and notice the sun beginning to set and as if on queue my stomach rumbles.I remember that I didn't bring food with me and decide that this would be the best time to explore. I grab my jacket and a backpack and head out. The air is cool but nice as it hits my face and I smile looking up at the sky.It's clear and I begin to see dark encapsulate the day. I walk around making sure to remember where I need to go to make sure I get home correctly and take a walk looking at the stores surrounding me. I begin to get hungrier as I can't seem to find food but as I was about to go back home in defeat a sign from heaven hits me. Neon lights. Leos pizza place Brilliant and only ten minutes from where I live. I walk in and the smell of fresh bread greets me.A bell rings as the door opens and I take a moment to look around.The floor is black and white titled and the walls are a dark green.You can see the food being made behind the till and the people running around getting things ready. "Good evening miss"A man with an accent greets me.His eyes old with age and a moustache that is beginning to grey.He looks kind. "Hiya" I smile. "What would you like?" His voice is deep and cheerful which makes me feel comfortable in his presence.He has a grandpa vibe to him. "I'm not sure actually it's my first time here.Is there anything you recommend?" He nods and turns around shouting something I believe to be Italian...right the accent. "I have just the thing you just sit down lovely and I'll be with you" he gestures a seat near the window and I go and take it.It's lovely. The windowsill is decorated with fairy lights and with the darkening evening it's cosy.I remove my jacket placing it behind me,I never intended to stay out for food but I like it here. I take this moment to look at the menu and everything sounds mouth watering,my stomach rumbles in response. After only five minutes the kind man is back and he places a pizza in front of me.The smell alone satisfying the hunger. "My personal recipe"He sounds proud of himself and clasps his hands. "May I have a drink please?"I ask. I end up choosing cloudy lemonade(the ultimate form) and take a slice of pizza. It's still steaming as I bring it to my mouth and I take a bite.Flavour explodes in my mouth and I automatically put this as my favourite food. "Oh my god."I whisper to myself. I look over to see the man grinning with his thumbs up and I respond with the same. I finish quickly with sips of lemonade in between and I take my plate up to the man needing to thank him personally for the best food I've ever eaten. "I am glad you enjoy.I am Leo"he puts his hand out and I take it smiling. "Clover" I smile. We talk for a few moments before I leave noticing it's dark out and smile at the thought of meeting a kind soul.If worse comes to worse and no one talks to me at least I have Leo. When I get home I instantly get changed into some pyjamas and head to bed. I have this weekend and then I start school. Terrifying.
