The Rich Life

choices

four of my five months have already passed at greenway academy, and, unbelievably, I am enjoying myself, who knew I would make such cool friends, become captain of the netball team and have a HOT boyfriend, yep, you got it, about a week after I met Jerome, he asked me out, turns out hes not cocky and big headed like Louis at all, infact hes relatively shy. I get on well with my lessons and I have joined drama club and netball after school on Tuesdays. But one thing keeps drawing my attention; I haven't had one letter from Alicia or Jules, they promised they'd write, but there hasn't been a single text asking how im doing. It makes me wonder.....nah, what am I talking about? of course I want to go back there, they've probably had other things on there minds, that's all....

"DARLING!!!" my mother comes thundering up the stairs and into my bedroom with a massive grin on her face, I sit up in bed wondering what on earth could be going on, its only seven thirty, what could be so important it involves my mother running up the stairs? she flaps a letter addressed to me in my face, I sit up abruptly, i never get letters accept bank statements and on my birthday and Christmas. i tear the top off. My mother sits impatiently on the bed, i get the feeling that she knows what this is, then how come......oh, The application form for the scholarship exam sits in y trembling hands, how had I forgotten about this? this was my ticket back to my old life, but in my heart, however much I ignored it and pretended it wasn't there, I knew, nothing would ever be completely the same again at my old school, it couldn't be, i had new friends, a new relationship, choices, choices. But then on the other hand, how amazing was my old school, to this one? I had a much better education there, and Poppy and Jules had always been like the sisters I never had. "darling? are you okay?" mum says noticing my hesitation. I take a deep breath. "no, everything's great! have you got a pen?"
