Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn,
a new day a new life for me
And I'm feeling good
It's a new day
I'm feeling good
It's a new day
I'm feeling good
Feeling Good~Jennifer Hudson

Shyann P.O.V
The period bell of the last day of school had finally rung at Jackson Newman Highschool and I was the first one out the front doors,but as I walked down the steps to the front doors.
Mrs.Newton,the school's guidance counselor, stopped me on the last step.

"Ms.Hills may I see you in my office before you leave?" She asked

"Of course,Mrs.Newton." I replied calmly, but on the inside I was was nervous as hell

"Damn, he is not going to like me being late, what the hell was I going to tell him?" 

We walked back in school and into her office.I sat in the chair across from her when she turned around hugged me and said excitedly

"You did it,Spelman accepted you!,they sent the letter to me yesterday!"

As soon as she said that I got up and grabbed her hand and we started dancing.

"This is the happiest day of my life,I can't believe I really did it, I got in!"

I flashed back to where it all started
I walked into Ms.Newton's office after the last kid left.
I was shocked when I stepped in the room, I saw carmel-colored black lady with hazel eyes,and a warm smile.She was in her early twenties, with a fish tail braid and business,but trendy clothles sat in the chair behind the desk.As I sat down and got settled in the comfortable chair.

She asked "What can I helped you with sweetie?"

"Uhhmm...I would like some help applying for colleges."I answered

"Okay,first what colleges are you trying to apply for?"

"My first and only choice is Spelman University."

"Oh..okay..Are you sure you don't have any other choices?"

"Yes mama!"

After that we started talking about my grades and what I need on my SAT to go to Spelman.By the time I was about to leave me and Ms.Newton were cool as fuck.Right before I walked out her office I asked the question I was dreading the whole conversation

"Uhmm...Ms.Newton...can I use your address for my college application?" 

"May I asked why?"

"Uhmm..I...My..y..Stepfather...Ugh.."I studdered and almost broke down crying trying to answer It's okay...I understand,yes you can use my address!" She answered .As I was walking out the door Ms.Newton touched my hand and said "Never let him break your spirit."

"Shyann...hello there...anyone home?" Ms.Newton asked.

"Uhmm...oh my bad..what happened?"

"We were dancing,then all of the sudden you went in daydream mode."

"Oh sorry, I was just thinking about college life and how much my life has changed since you came into it."

"Aww...you just made my day...I'm going to miss you too,I have come to see you as something like a daughter to me." She said as she pulled me into a tight embrace.

As she hugged me,I then remembered the time.

"Oh shit Ms Newton,I have to go before my stepdad gets home." 

I grabbed the letter and raced out of there and ran two blocks toward my apartment complex,in Chicago,which was in the worst part Illinois.We were called the "Murder Mitten 2.0" and had the highest crime rates in the state.As I made through the front doors, I ran to the elevators.
That is when I noticed that was a poorly written "Out of order" sign on the door.

"You got to fucking kidding me!" I yelled and kicked the stupid elevator. I sprinted up the stairs. Till I got to my apartment 2B.
I slowly and quietly opened the door and tip-toed over the door but I forgot to the shut the door as it creaked loudly.

"Where the fuck you been Annie? Michael asked calmly

"I was just....my teacher" 

"Oh so you think you grown now huh? Huh bitch? Mike yelled over me as he got in my face. I could just smell the acohcol reeking from his breath. I should have known Mike always drinks on Fridays. 

My mom remarried to Mike when I was four and my biological father wasn't in the picture, so Mike become a father figure to me.My mom died in a car accident when I was twelve,but when the police told mike she was in the car with another man,who supposedly was her lover.

Mike disconnected from the world and found solace in the bottom of a bottle.He lost nice paying job and we lost our decent sized house to his alcoholism. He gets his paycheck,then spends the whole thing on liquor.We have gotten evicted four times before this apartment because he spent the rent money.

"No Mike,I'm Sorry."I cried

"Who asked you to speak bitch?" Mike said as he threw me on the floor.He yanked me by my hair and punched me dead in the face.

"You look just like that scheming bitch!" He yelled as he spit in my face

All remember is feeling hit after hit.All I felt was pain.Wondering when all this was finally going to end.He slammed my head into the wall,and then I finally felt myself drift into darkness.

I woke up two hours later with a overwhelming headache.
Mike was gone.Which meant he went to go get more liquor.I knew he wouldn't be back until the crack of dawn.I walked to my room,which consisted of a ratty old twin sized mattress and a plain black dresser.

I laid on my bed and pulled out my letter.I was smiling ear to ear because I knew I was one step closer to getting the fuck out of dodge.
