DIARY OF BILLIE EILISH

DIARY -29/10/23

Dear Diary
I traveled all the way from Chicago to Massachusetts, yes Massachusetts!!. Can you believe it? No right? Even I couldn't.
People say Every cloud has a silver lining well it fits so well on me.
It feels so dreamy!!
I can never forget the day of 27/10/23. From pantry to the common bedroom and to the Claudine hall ... everybody was in haste. My orphanage St. Thomas had its monthly trustees' meeting and our warden Mrs. Joy was driving my nuts crazy. She made me bake cupcakes for the meeting, I made drinks, swept the floor , cleaned up all the mess , teaching those squirming kiddos to be polite and humble specially in front of the chubby plummy trustee Mr. Jack, tidying them up and what not!!
Well the meeting started at 12 noon. I had my lunch and was heading towards the infirmary to help the nurse in maintaining her register. Old lady you see, can't even manage her register. Uff!!
So while I was moving to infirmary I noticed trustees moving out with their cars... . I took a sigh of relief. Then suddenly I heard a harsh voice, yeh you know it was Mrs. Joy. She called me to her office. I sometimes wonder why can't she ever be sweet to anyone atleast for once...why can't she talk the way she talks with trustees..oh they pay her na that's why. You see why I hate her . One day she....no no I again went off track...ugh!!
So coming back to that day, I went straight to her office with the most appealing smile I could wear because I knew she would repeat her monologue. "You poor orphan, why the hell are you on this earth.oh Jesus what shall I do of her..you never do things right never..you.." you this and you that and so on. All the time when she scolds what I used to do is imagining stories..the only way I can escape her . But to my horror she smiled back at me!!! I know you are shocked , I was too. I thought she is gonna expel me.
She handed me a letter and asked me to read it out..
" Respected Billie Eilish
Looking at your exemplary performance in high school and reading your essay ' The cruel warden' I have decided to sponsor your education in The Boston University, Massachusetts. I aspire you to be a writer and that's the best university one can go...I hope you won't let down our institution. All the best
Yours truly
Mr. Jack Louis"
My hands were cold and I was looking at my warden with half opened mouth and widened eyes. She said," The cruel warden' haan? Anyways you have to leave tomorrow so do your packing. And yes no one is gonna miss you. Leave soon "
I didn't reply her back .. I just moved out of her office..I was shocked ofcourse. It took me 2 hours to figure out if this letter is for me . And guess what it was me??? I felt like jumping..I was finally leaving this orphanage and that warden . Now no more duties, no loneliness nothing .. see don't think I am ungrateful to this institution ..this institution has taught me to adjust , to fight for your own right , to be disciplined and what not. I am gonna miss this orphanage but not that much to cry over it.
So here I am in the dorm of The Boston University!!! So I will tell you my experience ok.
So college is the most bewildering place..I feel I will get lost here.. and the best part is I have my own room, yes own room..a big one it is. Usually a freshman is not given a room of it's own but they might have thought that how those Richie spoilt brats are gonna adjust with this poor orphan. I know this is not the truth but still. It's a different feeling altogether , having your own room. Imagine this from my point of view who had spent her while childhood in a common bedroom with 16 more orphans. My subjects are English, French, German , psychology and Music(I have choosen music coz I might turn out to be a great singer if trained properly)I am going to pretend as I have a family.. Don't take me wrong but I don't want to be the odd one out. So there are two freshmen Sumbul Touqeer Khan and Selena Louis. Sumbul is a carefree, fun-loving girl from South Asia and Selena is the princess of England, yeah it's true the princess. She didn't even speak to us and straight away moved to her room and slept. I am not gonna do well with her I guess. But sumbul is a lovely girl , we are vibing so well. Tomorrow I and she will be out for shopping for our rooms. You might be wondering where did this orphan get money from? The sweet trustee is sending me 500 dollars per month.. It's our time bro it's our time..I am gonna get you a nice diary cover. Don't worry. Good night. I am really tired
Oh I forgot to tell you that I heard a girl crying , maybe she is homesick. Thank god atleast homesickness is a problem that I have escaped from. But I also heard a voice saying go away , they will kill you too. What was it? A prank or just hallucination. I will see.
Bye
Good night diary
My question to readers is what do u think it is ? A prank? Hallucination? Or something else.
