Chapter 6 Better time

Nancy's POV

As soon as we got home i dropped my bags to corner of my room , changed in oversized tshirt with no pants on and crashed to bed. I was out like light.

My alarm went off at 8 am. Time to wake up. I was over excited as today i was going with aunt Luciana for my admission in highschool.

I quickly got of the bed and stood in front of bathroom mirror. I was smiling like idiot. After showering i went to kitchen.

Aunt Luciana's house was a bungalow with two floors. Living room was in left with adjacent bedroom and kitchen to right. She had two bedrooms on top floor. Of course i got a room to top. A small balcony. She had flowers planted in front which resembled a small garden and a garage. Her house was furnished with dark wood. In every way her house was many times better than mine.

Sweet delicious smell of pancakes hit my nose. I was offered a plate full of them dripping with syrup. I ate like there was no tomorrow.

"You look like someone starved you for all your life." Aunt Luciana said giggling.

"You are best cook. And yes i was starving." I said with mouthful of pancakes.

"While you finish eating i'm gonna change so we can go for your admission."

"Okay." I chirped happily.

We drove through busy roads of Chicago. I was always in awe of this city. The perfect weather made it more beautiful.

We arrived early as there was no traffic today. After parking our car we walked into highschool's direction.

The highschool was three times bigger than my old school. The campus looked more lively. I was over-whelmed.

We went into office for admission. After completing all procedures i was finally admitted. As highschool was not yet started the lady in office informed me that all schedules and class allotments will be pinned to notice board in the corridor beside lockers. We nodded amd left the building.

"Can we eat something? My stomach is growling." I asked holding my stomach.

"Of course honey. There is small caffee across the road which serves best cupcakes."

We walked in caffee called 'Bella's pastries'. Fresh aroma of coffee welcomed us. It was small with white tiles and creme walls. About 5-6 tables were placed with counter.

Couple of waiters were noting down orders. Counter was filled with various pastries and bakery products.

"Miss Collins. What a pleasent surprise. Long time no see." The man behind the counter exclaimed.

He was probably in his mid-fifties with little gray hair poking out and a gentle smile on his face.

"Yes paul. I was at my sister's house for few days." Aunt Luciana smiled casually.

"Ahh i see! And who is this beautiful lady may i ask?" He said looking at me with warm smile and interest.

"This is Nancy Scarlett-Owens. My niece. I brought her here for highschool. She will be staying with me." She told him.

"That's nice. I'm paul tyson. The owner of this caffee." He smiled at me. I nodded.

"So what do you wish to eat sweetie?"

"Umm, dark chocolate pastry and chicken sandwich." I told.

"Coming right away. Jasper just get these ladies a table." He ordered waving to one of the waiters. He quickly strolled towards us and led us to a table in corner. We smiled at each other.

After eating we went for a little shopping. I was looking at one of the dresses same as Tessa's when we went shopping few days before.

Tessa!!! Shit i forgot to call her. I'm going to get a big lecture. I scoffed at myself. I quickly texted her.

Me: Hey lee. I'm sorry i forgot to inform you that we landed safely. I'm enrolled in one of the best highschools in Chicago. Hope you are not mad. I'm really really sorry. I love you.

Tessa was the only person apart from aunt Luciana whom i said 'i love you.'

After exact 6 seconds my phone beeped.

Tessa: Thank god! I was starting to think that your ass crashed down. Yes i'm mad because not even one day you are in Chicago and you already forgot me. BITCH!!

Me: I would never. It's just a little amnesia i guess. Anyways i know you love me ;) I will text you later. Gotta go. Bye❤

Tessa: *rolles eyes and sighs* ok girl. Just be happy. I love you. Adios❤

We bought all necessary stuff for highschool. I am so happy that my life is getting better everyday. Aunt Luciana made chicken lasagne. We had our dinner and went to sleep. Two days more and i will be going to highschool. I am so damn excited.

-timeskip-

Finally my classes starts today. Warm sunlight greeted me as i woke up. And guess what!! Today i woke up before alarm went off.

I was in very cheerful mood. It was 6 am and my classes starts at 9 am. I got plenty much of time. I showered and put on a cute black top with bunny face on it and a ripped jeans. Today i let my hair loose and did a light make up which included nude lipstick and mascara. I jogged down to kitchen.

Aunt made scrambled eggs, fried bacon and coffee. I quickly chewed on my food and was all set for school. She decided to drop me because i did not know how to drive or the roads. She dropped me on gate and went for her work.

I stood staring at the building. To say i was anxious was an understatement.

Students were roaming in campus talking and laughing. Some were studying on benches while others were rushing inside building. Some boys around me checked me out from head to toe. Then laughed and went their way.

I sighed and slowly walked into the building. My phone started vibrating so i started to look into my bag while walking and accidently knocked someone on floor.

"You bitch!! You damaged my dress!!" A girlish voice came from person whom i accidentally knocked down.

A beautiful girl, no wait she was gorgeous said with pure disgusted expression. She was wearing a pink top and some mini skirt with cute heart locket and bracelets. She was fair with blonde hair and beautiful facial features. Perfect slim body and tall height. She towered me.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. I wasn't looking" i said meekly.

God scar, not even a minute and you are already creating problems.

"Well you should watch your fat ass. A fat hippo like you can easily injure someone." She spat at me.

"I said sorry to you. No need to insult me." I shot back.

"What did you say? Bitch, you don't know who i am. You just crossed your fucking limits. You are going to pay. Just wait a little." She said with an evil laugh and walked off. I rolled my eyes. Everyone in the corridor were staring at me with wide eyes filled with what? Fear? Great way to start first day of college.

Brushing off the thought i walked to lockers and started putting my things in it. I locked the locker and was just about to go when someone shouted.

"Heyyy, wait. You chubby girl." I peeped back and saw a girl hurrying towards me.

"Hi i'm Clara Campbell. And what you did to Nicole was so cool!" She said with hint of astonishment.

"Nicole?" I looked at her puzzled.

"Ah the girl you bumped into. I'm sure you are very new over here because no one dares to talk like that with Keith Carter's girlfriend." She said still amazed. Now who the hell is Keith Carter?

"Yes I am new in Chicago and of course in this college. And i don't know about who the hell are you talking about." I shrugged.

"Okay anyways, lets get check where are our classes. By the way you didn't tell me your name." She chuckled.

"Oh. Yea. Sorry. I'm Nancy Scarlett-Owens. I'm from Texas. You can call me scar." I smiled.

"Ok scar. Let's check our schedule." I had maths period first while Clara had history period. We had our 4th and 5th period together.

"See you in break. Meet me outside cafeteria. Bye." She winked and walked down to direction of her class.

I went to my class. As soon as i entered everyone started looking at me. That made me very self-conscious.

Some seats in middle were empty so i quietly went and sat down. The lecture was fairly interesting. After bell i decided to meet Clara.

As i started to walk towards cafeteria which i presume is in left down the corridor a deep masculine voice came from behind me.

"Where the hell you think you are going ?"
