The picture up is Veronica Danielle  Jones.

*Veronica's POV*

I have always thought about university, right from the beginning of high school. Am sure you all are like duh! But trust me I really looked forward to the day am going to leave this place to university, I guess being the only child has your parent watching every move you take or every boy u wanna date. My parents likes this thing where I introduce the guy before dating him but trust my parent to always scare them well mostly my dad, I kinda think he's right about his saying(DO NOT TELL HIM THIS), well it goes like this
'If he really likes you, he's going to stay, no matter how much I scare him.'

I really don't know how my dad scares them cause when I invite a guy then after dinner my dad is going to be like ''I need to talk to this guy'' after 'the talk' the guy runs away, avoid me at school, every where'

After three guys, I surrendered.

That brings us back to the present day

I am currently in my room packing my bags for university yeah you heard that right, finally going to university!, I can still hear my mom's cry from here, just like the day I found out I got accepted into UCLA like in fucking LA, California, my mom had refused to talk to me except if important.

I had always wanted adventures, but my mom ties me  down to one place, we are rich though so of course I go for vacation and that's how I found my love for Los Angeles, California.

Ring ring

the blaring sound of post Malone's 'circle' song, my ring tone filled in my room.

Where the hell is my phone! I searched for the thing looking every where.

Found it! It was just under the piles of mess I created.

It was Amanda Markle. The only crazy bitch that understands me.

"Mandy!" I said as I picked

"V!" She answered back with the same enthusiasm as me.

"Are you ready for Uni?" I asked, we both got into UCLA.

"Duh!, I just need to check again though, ugh... I hate packing" she said with frustration

I laughed at her, she really is bad in packing.

I sighed "Am almost through"

"I really can't wait to get out of here" her parents are also just like mine but hers better, she's allowed to have a boy friend without her dad scaring them off, she is currently single which makes it easy for her to leave.
She also has three siblings, an elder brother (who I may or not be crushing on), a younger brother and sister, they are twins by the way.

I snapped back to present as Amanda keeps calling my name

"You weird bitch, watcha thinking?" Did I remember to say she has a blunt mouth, well she does.

"Nothing, Mandy"

"This is going to be a fresh start for us" she sighed

"Yeah"

"Honey, its time for dinner" my mom said sticking her head into my room. You could hear the hoarse in her voice cause of the crying.

"OK mom, be down in 5"
She nodded

"Have got to go for dinner" I told Amanda

"Your mom still angry?"

"Yeah, I hope  she understands that I just want to be free"

"Am sure she does V" she said softly

"Bye, mands"

"Bye"

I put down my phone and head downstairs.

"Hey guys" I greeted my parents, my dad pecking me on the forehead as I sat down.

"Veronica?"

"Yes mom?"

"I am really not angry, you know?" She paused, I nodded my head to show am on board with whatever she wants to say "I am just really sad, cause my only baby is going to university, very soon you will be planning to get married..."

I choked on that one.
Marriage! So not looking forward to that well not now at least

My mom rolled her eyes at me while my dad patted my back.

"Well as I was saying... I am really going to miss you, make sure you call me everyday" I winced slightly "Or at least during your free time" she added after seeing my face

"I am really proud of you" I could see it in her eyes that she really was, cause UCLA is not an easy school to get admission, you have got to have brains.

"Thanks mom, it really means a lot to hear that from you" I said tearing up a little.

"Have you finished packing?"

"Yes dad, am still going to do some checking though"

Surprisingly my dad took the idea of me going to UCLA really well and I was so damn happy about that cause I wouldn't be able to handle it if my two parents are not okay about it. Apparently, I took after my dad's adventure spirit so he kinda understood why I had wanted to fly very far away from here.

The dinner went smoothly, I decided to excuse myself to go tell Amanda the good news.

Veronica: hey! Guess what, my mom's finally wrapped over the idea that am really going to UCLA.

Just as I set my phone down, it chimes in

Mandy: Wow! That's great news, am really happy for you. Finally, you can go with free mind.

Veronica: Ikr, am so happy too but you are the lucky one here, not having any problem with your choice of uni.

Mandy: Oh pls trust me, it kinda wasn't easy too.

Veronica: Yh right.
I typed with full sarcasm.

Mandy: watever, I need to go sleep so as to look like a fresh meat, I want UCLA boys to know have arrived.

I rolled my eyes, don't worry this is just Amanda being herself as usual, you will soon get used to it.

Veronica: Oh God mands!, I thought finally being an adult and going to  Uni, will make you more mature but damn! I was so wrong.

Mandy: whatever V, you need to lighten up a bit, seriously!.

Veronica: am just being responsible.

Mandy: okay whatever floats your boat, am really feeling sleepy😪, good nyt hun.

Veronica: okay good nyt b, wake up early okay.

I teased her, she is so not a morning person.

I kept my phone on my bed side table.
Mandy and I decided to rent an apartment near the school, we have already chosen the closet one there which is about ten minutes drive from the apartment to the school, its a three bedroom apartment.

Some of my high school friends has already left, some will soon go just like us and some decided to take a break before going to Uni.

I hope you guys didn't think I was just a loner without friends, I wouldn't say am so popular but I guess I had a fair share of friends, I might kinda be nerd though but I still attend parties and am fucking not a social awkward person.

After tossing around for a while, I finally went into la la dreamland.
