Make a Wish, Doll

Chapter Two

Luna POV:

The College of Greenwich was pretty far from where I lived, about an hour and 30 minute drive. Mom had actually decided to let me dorm.

"I'm going to let you dorm but you have to come visit any chance you get," she had said. I was shocked. She never wanted me to dorm before. She said that since the community college was close, I was able to stay with her and there was no reason to dorm in the first place.

"Mom are you sure? You never wanted me to dorm. When I asked if I was dorming, you immediately shut down that idea and said that I will still live here," I replied.

"Well it's time for a switch of plans. This college is way too far from the house so I don't want you to waste gas every time you needed to go to school and back. Plus, you're 18, I want to let you meet new people and discover new things on your own, you're an a adult now and I should treat you like one, let you make your own decisions," I smiled at the support my mom was giving me. I nodded a thank you in response.

I'd be leaving in the fall when the 1'st semester starts. It may seem like such a short time considering that it's spring and there are only 4 months till' I leave, but to me it seemed like forever. I wanted to go right then and there, I wanted to see everything, make new friends, not that I don't love my friends here, Ava and Charlotte are the bestest friends anyone could ever have. When I told them that I was going to Greenwich, they seemed even more excited then I was.

"Really?!" Ava asked. Charlotte was simply making a shocked expression, she couldn't speak. Her mouth was left agape.

'Yep, for 3D animation and design, I get to pursue my childhood dream," I felt giddy as I said that, it's not everyday a young adult is able to pursue the childhood dream job they wanted. At that moment, Ava, Charlotte, and I were holding hands, jumping around in a circle, laughing like we were 10 years old, that's how I felt, and I didn't care that we were doing this in front of the people in the Cafe.

I never thought my life would come to this. My original thought was that I'd go to London Community College, get my bachelors, and get a job in the office, like my mother had. Then maybe be exactly like her and become a lawyer several years later. But nope, I get to go to an actual college, pursue what I want to pursue, and make a future for myself. I'm going to change the world, each and every little step counts.

Later that night, Ava and Charlotte had decided to sleepover my house. They wanted to throw a celebratory party, congratulating me on getting into college. I laughed thinking they were joking. I should've known they weren't, but it's cool. We ordered some Chinese food, put on "The Princess Bride" on Netflix, got comfortable in our PJ's, and we just had that typical slumber party or girls' night that all girls have had at least once in their life. Everything was going perfect.

"How do you feel about going to college?" Charlotte asked. I looked at her. I didn't really know. I was happy and excited and I was doing everything I've dreamed of doing since I was a little girl. But then there is the other side. I am completely nervous and petrified. What if I failed? I've only ever done 2D animation. I never thought about 3D animation. What if I'm terrible at it? What if I fail? That scholarship would've been a waste for the school. I was so conflicted. I looked at Charlotte and Ava, and just replied casually.

"I'm excited. Getting to learn more about animation. Seems pretty legit," Ava frowned.

"Boring! Charlotte do you think she'll meet a cute guy?" I rolled my eyes. It's pathetic to talk about the serious part of college with them.

"Please, that's the least of problems and worries right now," I said.

"I think so. He'll be tall," Charlotte started.

"And have ocean blue eyes," Ava continued. They both kept tossing back and forth a description of the "Perfect" guy.

"With dark chocolate hair."

"Or blonde hair would be nice too," I started to laugh. Their idea of the perfect guy is so outrageous.

"Wow good job, really wonderful description. So proud," I started clapping. Ava put music on and started dancing. Charlotte joined. I sat there. I hate dancing. I'm bad at it. If people were to ever see me dance, they'd just face palm and beg me to stop. I looked like a headless chicken.

"Oh come on Luna! I know you hate dancing but we're celebrating you're success! Dance!," Charlotte started to chant "Dance" and Ava joined in. Finally I gave in. 

We danced and danced till who knows what time. We forgot our worries, troubles, everything. I forgot about college and everything that's gonna come with it.

Tonight wasn't about school and grades and all that. 

Tonight was about having fun, and that's what I planned to do.

Okay I'm gonna go now it's really late and I want to sleep now so goodnight! Baiiii!
