Numb (Harry Styles)

Chapter 2

-2 months later-

I give my mother one last hug before I head to the entrence door. I've packed my suitcase with all my clothes in it and some shoes, makeup and my teethbrush. My mother made me some sweets that she wanted me to eat on the way to the flight. This was my first step into the adult world and I feel even more stressed and lost than before. Thank god it's friday and the classes begins on monday. I have some time to get ready for my classes and I really have to take in the whole new college thing. I'm on my way to the airport. The ride is very long.

I'm trying to find my seat in the flight. 27B. I finally found my seat and I sat down. Great, there are babies crying. This will be a long ride. Thank god I've my headphones. I closed my eyes and hoped for a better life.

I'm finally of the airplane, walking out the building to find my taxi. There he stood with a blank paper with my name on it. "Mia Wright", I walked up to the chauffeur and told him that I was Mia. On the way to my new school I almost felt sick. I wanted to throw up. I know that I will hate this school as much as I hated all my schools. Every students was as evil as satan. I once had a friend that was nice. She stood up for me when I got bullied. I got bullied everyday. She told me that she saw it happen everyday. She didn't want to help at first because she thought they would bully her to. Her name was Jessica. She's dead now. She commited suicide after everyone calling her disgusting names. It all happend after she helped me. I feel quilty beacuse she wouldn't have killed herself if it wasn't because of me. I know i'm the reason even though everyone tells me otherwise. Jessica will always be my only friend. Sometimes I look at the stars at night hoping she hears me. I don't think she does.

"Is it your first time in New York?" The driver asks me taking my thoughts away.

"Yes." I say and look out the window. I don't want to miss a single building. It's really amazing out here. Everyone seems so happy.

"Where do you live?" He asked again.

"I live in Oxford, the United Kingdom." I say looking down at my nails. They look horrible. The first thing I should do in the dorm is to paint them. Should I pick nude or light purple. I should pick nude, I don't want to get attention the first day. Yeah, nude is probably the best choice.

"We are here." He says and points to the building.

"Thank you." I say giving him money for the ride while he took my suitcase out of the car.

Here I am. This is it. This could be a good thing. I could get happy in this building. I could make friends and good grades. I could also make my mother happy if she knew I was getting better. I'm really scared but I have to put my pokerface on. The first move is the most important one. Just smile and be nice.

I went in to the building. It looked very modern. I'm actually starting to like this school. There will probably be very kind professors and students here, afterall they are all grown ups. They wouldn't hate on me would they. I don't know what I do wrong.

I'm making my way down to the reception to sign in. 

''Hi, I'm Mia Wright and I just came here.'' I say shyly as always.

''Hi, are you going to stay here?'' The receptionist asked me.

''Yes, I'm starting my classes here on Monday. I've payed for a dorm so that I could have one by myself.'' I say politely.

''Okay. One minute.'' She says coldly while she writes something on her keyboard and looks confused.

''I'm sorry but you haven't payed anything for a dorm.''
