"A dream is a wish that your heart makes."

ISABELLA

Mom's face was stained with tears as she approached me for a bone crushing hug. "You are grown up bella, I can't believe you are leaving us" she sobbed.

"Mother I'm just going for college you can always come and meet me there." I chuckled and hugged her back.

"Take care Bella, call me if you need anything." She said with a sly smile. "Thank you Mom." I said and checked myself in the mirror for the final time.

"Bell I will miss ya." John said while entering my Room. "I will miss you to John" I replied and hugged him one last time.

I cannot believe I'm going to NYU. I have always dreamed of studying there and today is the day when I finally approach my dream.

I'm going to miss my family. My Mom, Dad and my younger Brother John and my Dog Pruzo.

My dad is unfortunately busy as always. He does love us but he rarely gives us time. He is always out for meetings, business. My mom being so in love with him always understands and helps him through his work.

My younger brother John is in high school still. I adore him. He is the sweetest brother anyone could ever have and I'm gonna miss him.

"Be safe." Mom yelled from the door as I kept my bags in the cab.

"I will, I love you" I said and entered the cab waving a 'goodbye' to mom and John.

Evryone quickly shuffled in the large classroom, finding an empty seat wherever possible. Me being shy found a seat away from evryone at the back.

I was not one of those who would easily be friends with another person. I took time. I never really had many friends. My parents and my brother were kind of the only people i was always comfortable with.

My eyes wandered in the big classroom taking in everyones faces.

Most young adults of my age hate literature. They just want to go out have sex, hook up, get wasted and repeat.

You could say I'm given the things i like, watching Netflix and studying always trumps going out to be around my outlandish peers.

I was always the 'nerdy' in school it did not really affect me. I had friends who supported me and my decisions. My thoughts were interrupted when suddenly a boy with green eyes slipped down to my side seat and my eyes widened at the weird yet beautiful creature.

I stared as his hands went to his hair for styling them in a neat manner. His arm was full of tattoos, he was wearing a black skinny jeans and a simple white T-shirt. He caught me staring at him and smirked. I quickly looked back into my book as my cheeks flushed.

"Do you have a pen?" The boy spoke, he had a British accent, his voice was raspy and simply breathe taking. I continued to look at him still confused if he really asked me for the pencil.

"Well? Do you have it or you are going to waste my time?" He spoke, I was taken back by his rude behavior, but still gave him the pen plastering a fake smile which he did not return.

The class went quite as professor entered the room. I was ready with my laptop open for taking the notes.
The professor was quite a young man, maybe he was in his 30's his sleeves were rolled up to his elbow and he had a glasses on.

"Hello class, My name is Tyler, Tyler Richards. You can call me professor Richard. First of all this is an literature class, so if you are in the wrong class you may get out right now, for a fresh start let me tell you all, you are going to have to work real hard, this class will challenge you in ways you've never been challenged before." He spoke and opened his book.

Everyone in the class seemed taken back as the professor spoke they sat back and stared at the board.

I turned my gaze to the rude yet handsome boy. Something about him was different, it made me curious. He did seem like a normal student but I don't know why I was so curious about him. Maybe I'm overthinking.

"Class your first assignment for the year is that you have to write two thousand words on what you expect to learn from this class this year. Class dismissed." Professor Richard said and exited the classroom.

Almost everyone excitedly leapt from their seats as they got some extra free time. I, being the studious decided to take the opportunity to complete the work we were given just now. I opened my laptop and started typing.

I've always had that love for writing, even though I was not so good at it, I always tried to improve.

"Thanks." I looked up to see the boy I was staring at earlier. His lips were tugged upwards in a heart melting smile.

He handed me the pen back.

"Wel-welcome." I stuttered.

He seemed amused as I spoke, it was the first time ever since I spoke after entering in the Class earlier.

"So, in a hurry to complete your assignment?" He asked in his deep voice.

"Uh-yeah we have extra time so why not use it?" I said in a sweet manner.

"Do you happen to have a name Miss?" He asked with a warm smile.

"My name is-" I started but he was pulled back by another boy who seemed similar to him.

Wait.

Brown eyes, Curly hair, That face.

"Br-Brad." I exclaimed.

"Bella." He shouted as he pulled me in fir a hug.

The boy seemed clueless for what was going on. I pulled back and gave Brad a smile which he gladly returned.

Brad, Brad Wilson my best friend of all time. Or you can say my first ever best friend. We spent our childhood together but loss contact when we were fifteen when one day he had to go away for the sake of studying. I cried a river, I missed him too much.

"I missed you Bella." He said.

"You have no idea how much I missed you Brad" I returned.

"So if the reunion of yours is over, will you now introduce me to your old friend." The curly headed said amd I chuckled.

Having Brad here gave me a kind of confidence.

"Okay, so Bella this" he pointed towards the curly headed boy. "Is Harry, Harry styles my best friend." he said patting Harry's shoulders.

I nodded, smiling.

"And this Harry is Bella, Isabella Woods, my old bestfriend whom I lost contact with." Brad spoke with a apologetic smile.

"Its okay Brad I'm glad you are here now" I said.

"Nice to meet you Isabella Woods, i think we should now get going." Harry said and immediately started walking towards the exit.

"Dont mind he is rude but hey, see you around tell me if you need anything." Brad said as he followed Harry leaving me in the class. Alone.

I quickly packed my back and checked the time. I still had Twenty minutes until the next class started.

I was staying at the dorms, my roommate seemed to be late by a day so she was due to arrive today. It was said that she is a party animal but yet a very nice person to be with.
I stepped outside the class and took a deep breath continuing to walk.

Guess it was not so bad. I already met my old friend.
And a new one.
