[ Sophia's p.o.v ]

As I waited for the plane to descend, I thought about all I did for this past 3 years. I went abroad to study health sciences and got a bachelor degree. Since young, I wanted to become a neurologist. My family really supported me and I am grateful for that.

After descending and checking out, I took my luggage from the conveyor belt and started to walk briskly. I really missed my family and my bestfriend, Natalie. How I met Natalie? Well, it's not your average high school bestfriend. In fact, I met her in the club. I was having a really bad day and an inconsiderate brute tried to make his moves with his stupid pick up lines.

He started touching me at uncomfortable places. I wanted to punch the hell out of him but I couldn't. Then, I saw a girl. She was really beautiful but she had a face where everybody would know that nobody should mess with her. She pulled the guy away from me and slapped him across his cheeks. Wow, she's one fearless and feisty girl. She would make a good friend.

To my surprise, she came up to me and smiled really brightly. It's like she had split personality but in a good way.

" Hi, my names Natalie and you seemed like a good person," she confessed.

Well, let's just say we became really good friends after that. As I walked out, I saw Natalie and my family holding up a big sign stating, ' Welcome Back Sophia!'. Oh god, I really missed them. But seeing them now, I felt ten times better. I put my luggage aside and run up to them, hugging them so tight, afraid to let go.

Joyful tears run down my cheeks. I was feeling really contented. It seems so surreal.

" Let's go home!" both my parents said.

My older brother carried my luggage. My brother has that looks and built those high school girls will really want and admire. His black hair and blue eyes were inherited from my mother whereas my rose gold hair and brown eyes were inherited from my father. Although he looks like he wants to kill a person, his actually really caring but slightly overprotective. Actually, screw that. He was too overprotective. One time, he threatened all my schoolmates. Unbelievable.

On the drive back home, I didn't know what should I actually do. Little do I know that many things have been planned out for me.
