The following Monday I walked out of my bathroom and into the closet, scanning for something to wear. Eventually I landed on black leggings and a cream slightly tight fitting turtleneck shirt before grabbing two steel hair sticks slipping them in an X through the bun I made for myself on the back of my head.
Since getting the slip for the opportunity to go to Thornbrook I had thought about it a lot. If I was going to go to a private school with so much prestige I better start dressing and acting like it, which meant my quick witted mouth was making a reappearance, and soon Demetri would have nothing to hold over me, when he couldn't even come near me.
"Now what handbag to go with it?" I mutter looking at the small collection I had, picking up a top handle tote bag that matched my choice of clothing but I then wondered what would go well with it for a light jacket. Finding a patterned flannel that would be just warm enough if the weather became unpleasant and just breathable enough that I wouldn't die through the day.
Finally leaving my room I walked downstairs to find my mom at the front door about to leave for work.
"I'm heading out now Olivia" she says already dressed for her manager job since she was the one that often choreographed the surgical unit, though she had insisted on also working on the floor and not just staying in her office. Though I suppose as a half doctor one would want that.
"Okay, have a good day at work mom" I smile, and she returns it.
"I love you, see you when I get home" she says before the door closes leaving me to figure out breakfast and food for the day though I had the habit of not actually taking food, not that school food was any better.
So I did the only thing I wanted to, I pulled up videos of confident female characters from TV shows I liked and let them play on the TV as I made myself chicken fingers for breakfast, while also double checking the notes I'd been studying on topics I was still needing to look into.
I also doubt I was the only one who did this at times, and if I am so be it I'm fine with being different.
When my food was done I sat on the couch and waited for time to pass though the girls had already said they wanted to drive all of us to class today since Paris had her license now, and apparently her mom had given her car to Angela and I's favourite Latina. We both had also agreed Paris getting a fully paid off car was a bad idea, though we would just have to keep our psychopath friend calm.
At some point I heard music playing loudly and shut off the TV before carrying my binder to the front door where I slipped on shoes, and stepped out the door, locking it and then walking over to my friends red C-Class.
Getting in the back I found that both my friends were dancing in the front seat which made me suppress laughter as Paris pulled away from the curb.
"So how's your morning going?" Paris asks looking in the rear mirror at me.
"Good, I feel good today, I also found out some news over the weekend" I reply and Angela turns to look at me as if she was wondering if it was good or bad news.
"Good news sort of, I got accepted for the Scholarship program at Thornbrook Academy" I say, and Paris stops at a light which was perfect because she whipped around to look at me.
"You what?" she exclaims, staring at me wide eyed.
"New Year I could go to Thornbrook Academy" I repeat and both my friends seemed shocked but also like they may explode with happiness.
"That's amazing Olivia" Angela says giving me a smile.
"Yeah I suppose, but I'll also be leaving you two" I frown and they just smile back at me.
