"So Ms. Currie, what can you contribute to our school," the dean said as he was checking my papers
I took a deep breath and continue to search for my answer deep within my brain
"I have the leadership abilities, I can take a full on responsibility and push my classmates to their limits to perform better and I have a high academic achievement on my school in Canada," I said with full confidence, convincing the dean to let me in their school
"Hmm, excellent background, so you're Logan Currie's daughter?" the dean said as he was looking at my birth certificate
"Yes sir, only daughter," I said holding my head high, if I'm not really an only daughter probably their expectations to me would be so much low
"You know, your father and I used to be classmates during college, what makes you go here ms. Currie?" he said as he was taking a back
"I said loud and clear from the start of my interview, I was selected in student exchange program for my senior year, I want to expand my learnings, experiences and I want to know more about my mother's roots," I said with a serious tone, this dean is really playing with me. I came here serious so I'm going to end it with a serious note
"Hmm, if that so, congratulations, welcome to Steadfast Secondary School, we hope that you'll enjoy your stay here, you can start your class tomorrow morning," the dean said with a smile on his face, well let's see if I'm going to enjoy my stay here
The dean handed me my class schedule and I head out of his office, it is exactly when all the students came out. I'm not really used to this crowd, especially I'm new to this environment, well I got to stay here only for a year then I'm gonna go back to my old life in Canada, I can't wait for my contract to expire. I walk and walk until I felt my stomach rumbling, I haven't had lunch so I decided to go to a café to go get something
Well, I guess this is my life now, having lunch alone in this busy and quiet café I can't believe that I'm going to live alone here but yeah, this is what I want and this what I signed for, I want to be independent and I really don't want to depend on my parents wealth too much
"Is this seat taken?" I look up to someone who disturbed my peace, she have a wavy long hair and she is very british
I just nodded and she just happily sat beside me, have she ever met personal space?
"I'm really sorry if I suddenly came out of the blue," she awkwardly laugh, there is a very strong accent in every words she's spitting out
"Oh no, it's okay," I said displaying a small smile on my face, I have to be friend with locals here or else I'm not going to survive
Where was I? I have to survive whether I like it or not, this is what they want for me, they expected me to take every opportunity that is laying out in front of me and can't I just live a normal life like my brothers?
