Life couldn’t be any greater. A few weeks ago, I was very sad knowing I wasn’t all that good at the audition.
Acting and modeling were my ever-since dreams. I just couldn’t help it I messed up at the audition. I feared I would not be selected. Though Daphne, my half-sister, helped reduce the pressure during that time, I was so not okay.
Now making my way into my dream college, AMDA, feels ultra great and after breaking up with Jake, I think it helps more moving from Florida to New York. And forcing mom out of Britain to the USA completes my joy.
I had been to Britain with uncle Lucas countless times for mom’s sake. But now that she agreed to live in New York, I’m so happy we would be a complete family, and forgetting Jake would be much easier.
“Shopping with you is no fun,” Daphne grumbled, placing the shopping bags on the bed.
“You don’t mean that.” I moped.
“Oh yes I do,” she grinned. “You’re nervous, I can see that.”
“Yeah” I exhaled. “But not totally, though. You know I wasn’t my best at the audition.” I complained.
“Don’t worry, you’ve got this. I know one thing for sure is, if you were accepted, then they saw a thing in you.” She reassured me, patting a space on her bed for me.
Daphne was more than a half-sister and I was never gonna deny that. From the time uncle, Lucas and mom were a thing, we got close enough and filled the space of no siblings.
She was a lawyer, my lawyer. She didn’t waste time defending me every time and any time. And her boyfriend Todd was a thoughtful and supportive guy. We talked most of the time too.
I sat where she patted, and she hugged me.
“ Now, I think you should get your beauty rest cause tomorrow’s gonna be a long day for you.” She told me, ending our hug and coaxing my back for a short while.

If there was one thing I hated about sharing a room with Daphne, it’s how she tickled my feet every morning.
“Can’t I sleep for a bit?” I pleaded.
“You’re gonna be late.” She voiced out, pulling away my blanket. I sat up and stretched, then lazily made my way to the bathroom.
By the time I was done, Daphne already had my stuff put together.
“Girls!” Mom’s voice echoed from the kitchen. I knew it was for breakfast.
I made my way to the kitchen, with Daphne behind me.
“Good morning.” I pegged her on the cheek as Daphne greeted her from where she pulled a stool.
“Good morning Lucy.” She said, smiling.
“You girls are ready?” She asked, placing French toast in front of us.
“Yeah, but you’re the only one coming. Daph has a trial today.” I announced. Daphne had already promised she would make it up to me.
“Sure you’re okay staying on campus with someone you barely know?” Mom asked during the ride.
“Yeah mom, you don’t need to worry. I have had a roommate for years now. Never think Daphne was moist.” I laughed. “ I need this, a friend,” I assured her.
“Also, your audition...”
“It’s fine. Everything is in control. I interrupted her before she can even finish her statement, giving one of my fakest smiles. I knew she was really worried about me and I didn’t want to give her a reason not to have a Goodnight rest while am away.
Far away from my audition, I hated it. I was getting into a school where I barely knew people. But I needed this. Getting to know people, having friends.
The moment mom pulled up in front of the dorm. I knew this was real. My dream college. I saw this monumental task in front of me, to prove to everyone that the audition was a once-in-a-lifetime mess up. I was ready to be that actress. Though so many students surrounded me, looking fit enough and all that, I convinced my inner self that I looked just as great.
Was I?
“Here we are, hun. “ She announced, “ I hope you have a great time studying.”
“I certainly will. I couldn’t ask for more.” I smiled, pulling my exaggerated large valise out of the car alongside other stuff. Daphne was to get the rest of what I needed tomorrow because we both knew organizing my room and space was not a day’s job.
“I can get this up my way, mom,” I told her insisting on carrying the last luggage up.
I hugged her goodbye after assuring her I was okay for the last time. She reminded me of how much she loved me and insisted I call later.
I viewed the building from where I stood and pinching myself was the only way to be sure this wasn’t a dream. But negative thoughts did not seize to torment me.
What if I did not belong here?
what if a particular number was needed, and I was just the fortunate one who clocked the figure?
I rolled my valise carefully. It was really heavy since I had a lot of my stuff inside. I had not wanted many other little boxes and bags, so I got a valise that was big enough to contain all my makeup, clothes, bags, and shoes. I later regretted not accepting mom’s help for the second time. I could tell I looked abandoned.
But it's not like she had not helped me with the carriage
I had my key holder worn on my ring finger like a ring and my phone in my pocket. As I rolled gently, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket so I glanced down on the left where I had it, still rolling my valise only to bump into someone, some guy. On the first day!
