The Possessive Bully

Part 39

"Oh my gosh! You did it!", Sunny squealed as she pull my right arm back and forth. "I can't believe it. You did it!", she said out of happiness.

"You're going to Oxford!"

She can't contain herself that she even jumped around me as if she was the one who got the scholarship. I looked around and saw some students already looking at us.

I pulled her to sit beside me and hushed her.

"Stop it. It's embarrassing.", I whispered, blood rushing to my cheeks.

"What is? You, GOING TO OXFORD?", She even emphasized the last three words and made sure other students can hear her.

Tiffany and her gang were also passing by. She looked at me and rolled her eyes before going to who knows where.

Sunny saw how pissed Tiffany is. She snickered.

"They might have bullied you but they're not the ones going to OXFORD!"

I rolled my eyes at her but also smiled. I can't stop myself from smiling. I still can't believe it. I GOT IN!

It's true. Life begins at college. I'll do my best and try to survive. It'll serve as my new beginning.

It's been weeks since I last saw Tiffany. Last time I saw her was when Tyler had the accident.

And Tyler... after what happened last time, I tried my best to avoid him.

I don't even know why I kissed him. I don't know what I was thinking at that time. I got carried away.

Now, I don't dare to face him.

I also avoided Mum. I love her and I feel grateful that she treated me like her own. But it still doesn't change the fact that I'm not her real daughter.

To think that I even betrayed her. I'm such an ungrateful btch. Ain't I?

It's just that... I can't look at things the same way as before.

Other people would think I'm overreacting or I'm exaggerating but what could I do? That's how I feel.

I'm so confused.

All these years, I knew I was their child. Then with a blink of an eye, everything changed.

I used to think that it's not bad to be adopted. I know a lot of people, classmates, and friends, who were also adopted. And I thought, why are they reacting that way when they should be thankful that they were given clothes, food, and shelter to live on?

Why?

It's true, you wouldn't know how it feels unless you experience it. You wouldn't know the feeling that what you believe in, the people you thought are your birth parents, are not really who they are.

It's hard to explain.

But it's not the best feeling.

"Come on. You should celebrate!", Sunny said as she take the admission papers in my hand and pull my arms. "Besides, you should also prepare your speech for our graduation ceremony. Miss top one.", she said smiling.

I also smiled at her. I'm thankful I have Sunny. She's always there to support me. How I wish I could bring her to Oxford with me.

"Hey, you know what?", she asked as we're heading out of the campus.

"Hmm?"

"I heard Van's also going to the UK to study law. Just don't know what school yet."

"He's taking law?"
