SUNNY COAST PRIVATE SCHOOL

Dear Ms. Sawyer,

We are delighted to inform you that your application has been hereby acc-...

WHAT IS THIS?

I never made an application for this school and most importantly for THIS private school in the other side of the country away from home, if you still can call it home, right Maggie?

Living with my aunt for the past 3 years has been the best time of my life if I say so, after all that suffering and hurt happening in my life I guess I should probably be thankfull for being alive in general

Yes I said my aunt, my parents or more precisely my father hadn't always been the best father figure in my life even before my mothers death caused by a car accident, which he blamed me for

But that's another story for another time

Right now what's important is to find out what this was

I knew about this school, it had great recommendations and almost everyone that graduated there had been shipped to ivy league schools and those who didn't was because they didn't want to go there not because they failed to enter them

And I was accepted to this school, with a full riding scholarship and benefits and everything...

But how?

I guess my answer came a few minutes later with the arrival of my aunt, Angie

"Well did you get in?"

"You did this?"

"Yeah, yeah I did this now tell me did you get in?"

"Yes, full scholarship and stuff but why did you do this?"

"YES, I knew you would get in, you are one of the smartest people in the world pumpkin and you deserve the best, you have been through so much in your life already and you should spread your wings and fly from here, Blue Springs Nebraska doesn't deserve you, you are meant for bigger things and i thought you needed a break from everything going on here, so i just filled the application for you and hoped for the best which happened and I am so proud of you pumpkin"

I was teary eyed even before she finished her sentence, she believed in me so much, she always pushed me to be the best and succeed in life and that's what I did

Honors student although all the bullying aside from everything else, volunteering at home shelters and nearby hospitals not only for college application purposes but because I wanted too and just be a goody two shoes as they call me

All the cat-calling and bullying actually were my motivations to become a better human being, a better human than them actually

And now I could leave this town, leave all the bullying and just about everything behind and start anew there

But I would have to leave my aunt too behind

"But what about you aunt Angie?Are you coming with me to National City?"

She looked at me with a sad smile that all theconfirmation I needed to know that she wasn't coming

"I'm sorry pumpkin but I can't, I am the sheriff here and I can't just up and leave, besides you will be living in the dorms there so even if I wanted to live with you I couldn't, but I promise to visit and of course you will be here for the holidays or I will be there, anyways we will figure it out and if you just need me I am phone call away"

I hugged her tightly and never wanted to let her go, she was the most constant thing in my life and now she would away from me in a few weeks time so I tried to savour the moment as long as I could

I guess a new beginning was coming to my life, crossing my fingers hoping it was a good one

National City here I come...
