FATE

Chapter 1

To all the girls who fell in love , but he was fictional

I'm sitting on the couch , watching TV with my mother . She sees me fidgeting my fingers from anxiety and excitement. " you'll get in baby, don't worry." My mother holds my hand in hers and gives me a reassuring smile . I smile back at her but my smile doesn't look convincing . When she is about to say something again the doorbell Interrupts her .

" it's here! You wait here I'll go get it ". My mom stood up to get the door . I got a call this morning saying my letter will arrive today and since then I've been doing anything I can to distract myself .

I've given my four years for this day . Today I'll know if I get into the most prestigious school of the country, Raychester high . It's a school only for the rich kids but if you try really really hard then you can get a scholarship , and that's what I did . I studied day and night , distanced myself from any possible distractions that could lessen my chances to get into Raychester high and today I'll know if all my hard work pays off or not . I want to do everything in my power to make life easier for my mother , the only family I have . She works non stop just to give me a comfortable life , just to give me food but now it's my turn to do that for her .

Everyone who has graduated from Raychester high is living a life full of luxuries and that's the only reason I want to study there . The sound of my mother's footsteps brings me back from my tho-ughts. " so are you ready? " she says holding the envelope in her hands . " yes I'm ready . Open it ". I take a deep breath , close my eyes and wait for my mom to announce me the result . When she doesn't say anything for 50 seconds I open my eyes to look at her . " mom? " I stand up from the couch and walk towards her . " Bella " . Her silence is starting to scare me now . " I didn't get in , did I ? "

I physically deflate . I sit back down on the couch. when I was about to curse myself for not trying harder my moms screaming makes me flinch .
" what- what happened? " she grabs my shoulders and looks me in the eye before saying " you got in " . I stare at my mother for a solid 3 minutes before it hits me what she has said . " I-I got in? " I whispered pointing my index finger towards my chest . " yes! You got in ! " I take the letter from her hands and start reading it .

I take a deep breath and throw myself in my mothers arms . " I got in mom! I got in ! " I let my emotions take over and allow my tears to fall . My mother tightens her arms around me . " I told you ; if you put your heart into it then you can do everything ".
She gently pats my back crying with me . I cry in her arms for a few minutes then she wipes my face with her hands . This feels too good to be true . My hard work payed off I still can't believe it . I overcame the biggest obstacle . Each year only two people can enter Raychester high through scholarship and This year I'm one of them .
