When I enter our small yet comfortable kitchen, mom is waiting for me with a steaming cup of coffee.
I sit down and pull the cup of coffee towards me and take a sip. I can feel mom's eyes upon me but I choose not to look at her.
"How do you feel?" she finally asks breaking the silence.
"Better" is all I manage to say.
"Don't worry sweetie, you'll have a great day" she says.
I finally look up at her. She is smiling at me. I return it with a smile. I check the time, it's already 7 and my classes start at half past 8.
I finish my coffee and stand up to leave. "I think I'll get going mom" I tell her and grab my bag.
As I head for the main door, she follows me.
"Charlotte" she calls again.
I turn around and look at her. She is smiling a very sweet smile which I love the most in this entire world. As I look at her, she moves closer and pulls me into a very tight hug. She finally releases me after about 5 minutes and plants a kiss on my forehead. I again check the time for the tenth time since I woke up this morning.
"I'm getting late mom" I inform her and releasing myself from her I actually run towards the front lawn.
"Don't worry sweetie, you'll have a good day" she calls after me and waves me goodbye by the time I get into the car and turn around the drive way.
It is 25 minutes drive to FPU. As I am driving, a lot of things are going inside my mind right now. Nervousness is taking over and I am just worried if I will actually have a nice day like mom said. I would like to make new friends but I am too scared because I have mostly faced betrayal in my friendship and misjudged all the time.
As I near FPU, it is really huge and looks like some sort of castle. It has few towers and looks really beautiful. It reminds me of Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter Series. I smile at my own thought and I enter the gate. The parking lot is huge and spacious.
I park my car, grab my bag from the back seat and get out. As I walk towards the main building, I bang with someone but as I am too busy to look for a notice board, I only manage to say sorry without even looking at that person.
I see a large notice board and walk towards it and check my classroom number and floor. Luckily it's in the first floor. I climb the stairs. As I approach my new classroom, I see a tall guy standing in the door way. He is wearing a gray sweatshirt and black trousers and white converse. His features appear to be quite familiar and I suddenly feel my heart rate increasing. I just pray that I am wrong as I move closer to the doorway.
He turns around and I feel as if my heart will stop beating. I am completely clueless and shocked and I can see it reflected in his eyes.
Standing in front of me near my new classroom's doorway is none other than Cedric....
