Alicia's POV

Hello! My name is Alicia  Redwood. A brunette having brown eyes? Me and my family are living in a  small town named Bradford in England. It's a nice place enclosing  serene beauty of the streets inside. Chirping birds outside our small  house are my friends and swirling leaves of the tall green trees are my  stress busters. I often talk to them when I'm alone in my room. It's  crazy. Isn't it?

"Alicia!" My father shouted from the hall room making me jump.

My father, Steve  Redwood,  is an employee in an IT sector. Because of a holiday he is at  home today otherwise he gets up early in the morning, goes for a job and  then comes back late night for sleep. That's it. He knows nothing about  my ongoing life which makes me sad.

You must be thinking  how bad of a daughter I am who is disgusted with her own father but...  it's true. I've got a careless father. He never ever asks me if I need  something  or what I'm gonna do for higher studies as I am nineteen now.

"Alicia? There is a letter for you. Collect it from the postman." He again shouted in annoyance.

"Coming Dad!" I rushed downstairs.

I went to the main door  and signed on the receiving register postman was holding. I collected my  letter and closed the door. As I turned back I see my mother coming out  from the kitchen.

My mother, Venice  Redwood, is a nurse at Crystal Hospital. She is a nice person. She cares  for her family so much, being the only responsible person of the house.  She always tries to give me every facility through the money she could  get from her job. She is an impatient but over-caring mother. She wants  me to be her perfect girl all the time. But she should know that humans  are made to make mistakes and they learn lessons from their mistakes.  Anyways, I try my level best to reach upto her expectations as I love my  mother.

"You okay Al?" Mother  asked as I got to know that I am standing still at our main door holding  the letter for god knows how long.

Ugh! Me and my thinking self!

"Yeah mom, I'm good." I smiled.

"What is it?" She asked while looking at the letter.

"I don't know." I said confused while opening the letter.

After reading it I was like....on cloud nine. I was actually shocked. My mom raised her eyes questioning for what it is.

"Mom! I got admission in St. Louis University in London. And that too with scholarship for one and a half years." I exclaimed.

"Really?" My mother smiled and hugged me.

"Well, it's not a big  deal. My daughter is a brilliant student so I was expecting that this  would be coming." Mother cupped my cheeks and kissed me on the forehead.  For the first time I felt proud of myself. I made mother satisfied with  me. Letter says that I will be joining the university from tomorrow.  Although it has started two weeks ago. So, most probably I will be the  one having 'Late comers' tag.

I mean seriously?

This late they are sending me letter to join University? I'm not getting it. Anyways, I got admission, that is more important.

Tomorrow!

What are you doing standing in the hall girl? Go and pack your stuff.

I roll my eyes looking  up. My thinking self is my enemy. I rushed upstairs and packed all my  stuff. It took me two hours to be finally done with packing. I'm not a  person who would go shopping and kill time. I'm satisfied with what I  have. I just do necessity shopping that is it. I laid myself straight on  the bed exhausted.
