Love And Hate

Chapter 1

Joanne's POV

First day in school and I'm already 10min late for my first lecture. I was up all night talking to Alberta on Skype. She kept me up all night talking about the adventure. I must confess, I miss the fun and adventures I have been having whilst in Greece. I miss the food and great sight. My dad has always been absent in my life, just me and my step mum Vivian. An American citizen whom he met 7 years after my mum died of Cancer of the Lungs. She has tried her best to be a mother to me and I wish I can accept her as my mother but I really can't.
Nobody can fill in the space of my mum. Vivian has a son by name Chris and a daughter by name Fiona. Fiona and Chris are nice people as well but I rather not get to attach to their lives. My father is whom I want not strangers and I barely see him. He comes in and the next minute his jetting out to God knows where. In his own little way of making me responsible and getting me serious with my life, he got me admitted into University of Belgrano in Belgrano district of the city of Buenos Aires in Argentina. Like my life isn't hell enough, my father is sending me down to Argentina. It's been 2weeks I came here and I have not gotten use to the country. It's a beautiful country I must say, but the food and people here are strange to me. I have a roommate, I don't know her name. We don't speak to each other as I barely see her. She leaves very early before I wake up and comes back in the middle of the night. She's really a strange person.

Waking up I discovered I was 10min late already, I had to just brush my teeth and comb my blonde curling hair and then I parked it up into a neat ponytail. I wore my favorite above the knee Gown and picked up my bag and laptop heading for lectures. I ran passed a lot of people who were really moving in a slow space for me. "Excuse me please" I yelled at every one in my way. In the heat of running I bumped my head on a hard chest, I felt a little pain in my forehead and felt a soft hand pulling me away from this chest I had bumped into. "Are you blind? Or do you have a death sentence" I heard his voice for the first time.

Pulling me away I felt a little bit embarrassed and I couldn't risk him knowing it, so I snapped back at him "oh yeah! Why can't you be more careful Mr. You clearly saw me running and you couldn't make a proper way for me to pass through. After all I said Excuse me. Or perhaps are you deaf to actually hear me say that? Look Mr. I am in a hurry and I need to go." I know I was been unfair to him because I bumped into him, but I did not come this far to be talked down by some man.

As I was done talking, I noticed 8 men dressed in really expensive suits frowning at me and one made a move to do whatever to me but the man I had bumped into signaled him to stay put. " This is hilarious really, are these your guards? Why will a grown man need a baby sitter ? Or are you some kind of high profile person we all should be scared of? Well Mr. Whatever you are, you need to watch how you move and stop bumping into people. And remember this is a school and all of these" referring to the guards " is inappropriate as it's intimidating to other students. Keep your profile at home. I'm just trying to advice you as someone you bumped into 5min ago..." I looked at my watch as I spoke and realize I was 15 min late. "Damnit I'm late". I ran off as he stirs at me without saying a word. I can swear I saw him smile whilst I talk. I get to talk out of point Everytime I'm tense or in an awkward situation. "Damnit Joanne, good job to you for been a total bitch" I spoke to myself whilst I entered the lecture hall. Luckily for me the lecture was late as well. He walked in 5min later.
