"Take me back to the basics and the simple life."
-ease, troye sivan.

Waking up today wasn't the easiest of things to do as I stayed up 'til 3 AM and mum was banging at my door at 7 AM to wake up for breakfast.
Although I was thankful that I woke up to the delightful smell of scrambled eggs with toast, I was not happy because of the fact I only got 4 hours of sleep but I couldn't say that to mum.
She was not overprotective but she was on the brink of it.
"So hun, your dad has gotten some exciting news for you." Mum said enthusiastically. "What is it?" I asked with a soft lop-sided smile.
"We've gotten you into a university! Well, not yet that is but they'll be willing to accept you if you get 90% on all the tests." He says enthusiastically.
And so he began to talk about all the different kinds of majors and how college works.

After about half an hour of talking about the majors and all of the things that I needed to learn about mum asked me to go get her ingredients for a cake she's gonna make in celebration for the university.
So I gladly agreed as it was the least I can do for them because they did give me this amazing opportunity.
I ran upstairs to have a quick shower and I got ready in 15 minutes which was a surprise.
I'm kidding of course, because I still look like utter shit with the bags under my eyes and my hair being so messy and tangled.
Combing my hair was also a pain so I was glad that was over. In attempt to making myself look presentable, I tied my hair up into a high ponytail with the few scrunchies I had left.
Looking at the mirror, my black shorts and white t-shirt tucked in it was contrasting very well with the purple scrunchie on my head but oh well, I am only going to the shops after all.
After I put on my black flip-flops and grabbed my phone, I walked downstairs.
"Mum, dad! I'm going to get the cake ingredients from the grocery store now." I said to them as they were both sitting down on the couch, watching some cooking show.
"Oh right! Here's the money, stay safe." Dad said as he came over to give me the money for the ingredients which was quite a lot.
He said goodbye and so did mum as I walked outside.
It was a pretty day outside as the sun was sparkling and the streets weren't crowded by cars or even evil cyclists.
I walked down to the store while smiling like an idiot from ear to ear because of the thought of me going to uni.
So many people would be so proud of me right now. Like Phil.. And maybe Dan.
Or maybe my old friends, they would've been proud. So would Alice (my so-called mum).
Alice.
The sad thought of her brought a painful memory in my head and I couldn't stop replaying it.
I crossed the road which wasn't the best idea.
There, standing near the green light was a girl, medium height, long brown hair, light blue eyes and freckles spread across her pale face and she looked like she was in her mid-thirties.
She looked so much like her, Alice.
I stared at her for too long as cars were beeping at me and the girl gave me a weird look.
