Reunited in bed

Chapter 1: Just a normal day

"Not that fucking dream again, it's more of a nightmare than a dream at this point." I said, as I woke up from the dream that I've been having from time to time for some years now.

"When will that asshole ever be erased from my memory?" I asked my self as I stretched out of bed and got up, walking to the bathroom.

It seems like I can never forget him; my childhood bully, the one who made my childhood and high school years a living hell. He had tormented and teased me, making my life worst than it already was. I really had no clue why. But he's the past now and he's no longer in my life to torment me like the devil he is.

I brushed my teeth and stripped myself of my clothes and got into the shower. Feeling the warm water that showered on my face and down my body felt relaxing.

Just what I need to start off my morning slow, and not having to rush to get to work. I got out of the shower after a long relaxing one and wrapped a towel around myself and another around my hair.

I went back into my room and rubbed some lotion on my body. I went into my closet to find something nice to wear because I wanted to start off my day well by dressing neatly to put me in a good mood.
I went to the kitchen to make myself something to eat and then left the house.

I'm not a social butterfly so I don't have any friends to talk or hang with. My parents died a year ago in a car crash on their way back home from a date night. I got everything they owned because I'm an only child and I'm now of age. It wasn't much because we weren't rich, but we weren't poor either. We had everything we needed.

I took a walk down the street which was apart of my daily routine to get some fresh air. As I walked I got a notification on my phone. It was an Email from the college that I applied for. I started to overthink with negative thoughts; "what if I didn't get accepted?" "What if I wasn't smart enough?" "Maybe they just don't want me!"

I pulled myself together and snapped out of my thoughts and opened the email, to which read: "We feel you're a great fit for our program due to your grades, honors, awards, competitive results and experiences that demonstrate your academic prowess, engagement in student life, contributions to your community and resilience and hope that you accept this offer to join the student body of Sapienza Univeristy of Rome."

My body froze on spot. I was overwhelmed and shocked. I also felt a little bit of dismal, because I had no one to celebrate this happy milestone of my life with.

I had nothing and knew no one there so this would be like a new beginning for me. A new entire life. "What will it be like?" "Will I make friends?" My mind filled with thoughts as I ran back to the house to start thinking about my new life.

"I have to go to the airport tomorrow to book a flight" I said a bit eager but also anxious.

For the rest if the day I researched more about the university. Knowing that I'll be going officially, I needed to know everything I could about the institution.

It was around 3pm when I noticed I had lost track of time doing this. I had no idea of what to do at this point. I took up my computer on which I was doing my research and decided to go to the coffee shop where I work. I walked because I didn't have a vehicle and it wasn't that for from my home.

"Hey girl, enjoying your day off?" One of my co-workers asked as I entered the shop. She was the only one I could call a friend. Even tho we aren't that close and I haven't enclosed any personal information with her, Sarah is literally the only one I talk to.

Me - "It's going wonderful, I actually just found out my application got accepted at the college"
Sarah - "OH MY GOD! Girl I'm so proud of you! I knew you could do it"
Me - "I- Thank you Sarah. That means more than you know"

I've only ever heard those words from my parents when I was younger, until High School that is. My grades started slipping then, and they never even tried to see that I was working my hardest to achieve higher. "You used to be so smart" "What happened to my intelligent girl?" "You're disappointing" were only a few of the degrading words I've started to heard since my high school days, so Sarah saying these words to me really did mean everything

Sarah - "I mean who wouldn't be proud? I'm sure your parents are overjoyed which such news, buen trabajo!" (Good job)
Me - "espero" (I hope)

I said under my breath as she walked away to serve another order.

I took out my computer and started working on my dress that I've been designing. Even tho I'll be studying economics. I still had a passion for fashion and writing. They both give me comfort when I do so.

Twenty minutes elapsed when I realized I hadn't put in my order. I went to the cashing area and ordered.

Cashier - "Buen Dia, what can I get for you?" (Good morning)
Me - "Mañana, just a glazed donut and a cup of milk coffee will do." (Morning)
Cashier - "Okay, your total will be $3.75"

I paid for my order and went back to my design. I've had a few buyers who bought some of my designs. So it gives me more motivation to keep doing what I love.

Few minutes later, I was served my meal but instead of walking away, Sarah sat right in front of me. I said nothing but my emotions were mixed with lots of different feelings. I don't know why I was nervous because I've talked to her a lot already.

Sarah - "So what do you think college life is like?"
Me - "I have no idea. But I hope it's a fun experience"
Sarah - "I hope it is for you"
Me - "Mhm"
I said, still holding my head down.
Sarah - "So what college did you get accepted at?"
Me - "Umm... Sapienza Univeristy of Rome."
Sarah- "Nice! I heard there's a lot of cute guys there"

My legs were shaking, my anxiety was kicking in as I was spoke to her but I took control of it and gave a reply.

Me - "Yea I guess"
I said, agreeing even tho guys was not an interest of mine
Me - "Nice
Sarah - "Well I've got to get back to work."

She said as he walked away. My legs stopped shaking as my anxiety was calming down. "Will guys flirt with me?" "Maybe I'll get a guy bestfriend" "Maybe no one will talk to me" I said in my thoughts.

I continued to eat and finished my work as I quickly forget about the conversation between Sarah and I. Thirty minutes passed by and I decided to head back home.

I made myself some dinner and decided to take nap as I had nothing to do. I woke up four hours later from my 'nap' to use the bathroom.

I took up my phone and checked the time first. It was around 8pm at this time. I unlocked my phone, still half a sleep to check if I've gotten any messages. I don't know why I did. I never have any messages. Kinda sad but I like my own company.

I went on the internet for a while. Scrolling through tiktok. I didn't even realize when I had drifted off to sleep with the phone in my hands.
