*present*

I'm in the balcony listening to a relaxing music. This is what I usually do every morning to appreciate nature and to relax. In a few, I'll be going down in the dinning room to eat breakfast. Both of my parents are not around since they have obligations in their job. I'm fine with it tho, I clearly understand that what they're doing is for our future.

I almost forgot to introduce myself, I'm Scarlet Klare Everdin and I'm 15 years old. I'm from the Philippines and we're currently still staying here. I love it here but I wish I can explore more tho. I've always been home schooled and I wanted to end it.

"Good Morning Klare" Nanay said

"Good morning nanay" I replied

Nanay is one of our helpers at the house and obviously, she's my favourite.She's in her 40s that's why she has a calm heart.

"Nanay, have you eaten yet?" I asked

"Yep, I already ate breakfast a while ago" she replied

I just nodded and went to eat my breakfast. After which, I took a shower and prepared myself for my online class.

"Phew, finally it's over" I sighed

My class is over so I went in my bed to lay down and watch my favourite series.

"Today's the day" I said to myself

I am really nervous since I planned to ask my parents about enrolling in a university. I was really curious on what it feels like, where you have classmates, classrooms, big canteens and I might make some friends. I don't have siblings and that kinda makes me sad. I'm always doing the same routine everyday, I wanted some change. I think my parents are overprotective. I think I can handle myself tho, it's not like I'm going abroad. There's a university nearby that I can even go there through walking.

"Klare, we're home" my mom yelled

I immediately ran downstairs but I was hesitant to say it so i decided to just tell them after dinner.

"How's your class" dad asked

"It's fine dad, just the usual" I answered

We continued eating and I was still really nervous. Maybe they might say no again or maybe they might scold me. I can't stop thinking about the possibilities.

"Klare, are you fine?" my mom asked "you didn't touch your food"

"yes mom, I'm fine" I answered

I didn't realize that I wasn't eating. I'm really nervous right now. I hope I can gather some courage later on when I open up about enrolling in a university.

"This saturday, we will be going out of town, I have a meeting to attend and we can just roam around after it" dad said

I was really excited, it's been a long time ever since I went out of town with my parents. My face lighten up but it disappeared when I suddenly remembered about asking them. We finished eating dinner and I tried to gather some courage so I can finally spit it out.

"mom, dad, I wanna tell you something" I said
