Life Still Goes On

Chapter 1

"Help! Someone ? Please ...."
.........
"Carolyn! Time to wake up ! "
Carolyn jolts awake from her little nightmare again. She has gotten used to it . It's always the same , sometimes longer . It's always that woman screaming in the vast sea of fires . But no matter how hard she tries to find the woman . It's always met with a dead end and she awakes back into reality .

Carolyn lazily gets dressed and goes down to have breakfast . Her caretaker , Miss Delphi, was frying some eggs in the kitchen for breakfast while her daughter ,Hannah, just ogling at her pancakes . Miss Delphi is her mom's friend , well that's what she was told . According to Miss Delphi, Her mom died by protecting her and passed her to Miss Delphi before it was too late . Her father was also assumed dead as they were hunted down by the others . Every time Carolyn asked why , Miss Delphi will just shoved her question away or change the topic of the conversation. Were  her parents criminals ? Or some really bad guys?

She always acted like Miss Delphi was her mom but she never calls her that . It was just too weird for her . But Miss Delphi understands . Her daughter , Hannah , was also another thing, she was just that innocent cute little thing on the outside , but that evil devilish thing on the inside . She was literally counted as a monster . And Carolyn had to put up with her every single day . She was always wailing about when she ever wanted something from Carolyn. She would hit Carolyn till she gave her what she wanted , just like a stupid 6 year old that she is .

Carolyn lazily slump down in her chair . She didn't really have to rush for school like the other kids since she was homeschooled. She was bullied in her first few years in elementary school for having no parents . That's why she was just better off alone at home learning . She also preferred that way . She was more of an inside person .

"Guess what I did? " Miss Delphi said cheekily , passing her a letter .

"What ?" said Carolyn as she slowly opens her letter.

It was the letter for enrollment of Harmonic High . Something similar to Hogwarts but it's not fiction. It's real life . Only a limited amount of students get chosen to be there . The chances are usually very slim. But she had been chosen.

But she didn't want to go . She felt absolutely happy at home alone . Although she is a Harry Potter fan, She really didn't need it. School always made her recall her days back in elementary school ... Those bullies...

But , Miss Delphi was always very worried of her , always being home alone without any friends . So she convinced her that it wouldn't be like last time , it's high school. And now she can stand up for herself if needed. And this was a once in a lifetime opportunity , she would regret it if she missed it .

So after having her breakfast , she had no choice but to go up and pack her bags for the trip to there . She was still very scared of this whole new world , terrified of the unknown . But she didn't think Miss Delphi would understand. So , she decided to give it a try. Facing the unknown.....
