Chased by The Past

A New Start .....

I was in the middle of a high intensity morning workout when my bedroom door flung open , revealing an ederly women in her early forties - Marie Willows , my mom.

"Good morning Samantha! Sammy is eager to play with you ." she said.

Just then, I heard a loud but friendly bark from somewhere behind my mom. I widened my eyes in horror as I saw Sammy  ,who was a Shih Tzu, running towards me with his tongue hanging out. Sammy jumped over me, tackling me to the ground and licking my face.
"Stop it Sammy !!.............Ha ha!!",  I laughed.

"Off  me Sammy , NOW!!"
I commanded and he seemed to obey my commands.

"Good morning mom. How come you have woken up so early ?" I asked .

"Dear it is already 7:00am."
I was not suprised that I didnt realised the time to fly away so quickly . This wasn't the first time it had happened .

" I'm very excited dear , it's your first day of college!!" mom said , a spark of excitement seen clearly in her eyes.
" Yes mom but I won't be able to get ready if you don't go ." I said .

"Oh yes. I'll leave right away" , she said while closing my bedroom door and leaving my room along with Sammy .
I went to my balcony to see the rising sun . The gentle breeze was fanning my face , making me feel cool and calm at the same time.
"A new day , new opportunity and A new start to my life. I won't let my past ruin my present life " I said .

I stood there for a while , taking in the picturesque view of Nashville.

After a moment or two, I decided to take a long , warm shower to wash off the drying sweat on my body . I stripped out if my clothes , hopped into the shower and washed my body cleanly . For sometime, I just stood there in the shower;  doing nothing but replaying the events of the past . I came out of my memory lane and said to myself " I will never let him get to me , ever again!"
I turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around my body . I decided to wear a denim button-up skirt , a black tee,  velvet choker and my favorite sneakers. I applied a little bit of  foundation and added mascara to my eyelashes to make them pop-out.  When I glanced at my room , I could only see boxes filled with my stuff . We had  moved into this house just a week ago  and I was too lazy to unpack .So most of the things were still unpacked , only essentials were out.

"Come downstairs Sam, breakfast is ready ", mom shouted from downstairs.
"Coming mom!" I exclaimed. Mom usually uses the nickname 'Sam' to address me and I never complain. I like it.
No sooner did I climb downstairs than Sammy came towards me , making circles around me . I tickled Sammy along his tummy and he barked playfully . He always likes when I tickle him . I made my way towards the kitchen where I kissed my mom's cheeks and she smiled at me . I poured some black coffee in my mug which would keep me up through lectures and ate a sandwich . While savouring the flavour of my breakfast, I glanced at my watch ,"7:45, hmm.........I should be leaving now to be on time for college" , I said to myself.

I bid goodbye to my mom , fetched my car keys  and drove towards college; which was a brief 10 minutes drive .
I was nervous as I was new in the town of Nashville and had no friends. But I was confident enough to make new ones.

Soon I pulled into the college and made my way towards the parking lot. 
One could see students streaming inside the college building . Some of them were even gaping at my black 'Bugati', which was shining like the sun itself . I understood where that look came from. Once upon a time , even I didnt have such a stylish car . But I am glad that now I am not one of them.  I laughed at their faces,  while rushing into the college doors.

Inside , there was a herd of students , talking , getting their stuff from lockers and going to their homerooms. I asked a girl with blonde hair and petite figure the way to Student's department . Soon following her directions I managed to locate the department and peered through its  doors. I asked Ms. Higgens, incharge of Student's department for my schedule and locker keys.  I excitedly glanced at my schedule as I received it,

"Mathematics, then double english , social studies, double economic and science,hmm.......not bad for the first day ", I mutterd to myself.

I also learnt from Ms. Higgens that my homeroom was 223A . We had to first go to our homeroom for attendance and then we would have our regular periods. The only problem was that my homeroom was all the way to the other side  of the building . So I had to speed-walk .
'Nice workout!'  I thought.

I was walking so fast while mutterring profanities that I did not notice where I was going and I hit a hard wall.

"OUCH!!" I screamed and lost my balance . When I fell down , I looked up to see how was it possible for a wall to be in the middle of the hallway.
'Not possible ,right?'

Soon I realised that it was not a wall I had crashed into, it was a boy!

"What the Fuck!" I said as he did not even bother to apologise to me !!!
The boy with red hoodie and ruffled hair just glanced at me and then went away , disappearing into the crowd of people as if he used magic .
