Chapter 1 - Back home

Everything began on a cold day of November.

I was stretched out on my bed, half tangled up in my sheets, earphones in my ears and a block notes filled with small sketches in hand.

If somebody had seen me lying in such a way, they would have been very well able to think that I was a big lazy person making nothing out of her life and spending the day in bed.

However it wasn't the case and wasn't  going to be.

Actually, I was pondering over the big project of this quarter.

I was racking my brain trying to find some genius idea to present in December.

Yes, that's it I was "finally" attending the long awaited - or not - University.

The school was located in Austria, " The technical University of Vienna". The only inconvenient was the distance between Austria and London, my home.

It was a very good school renowned for its architecture and its wide choice of studies.

My final choice had been to study the interior design and to be sincere, it was better than what I had thought it would be.

It was, in contrary to all expectations, very interesting and numerous techniques had been acquired to me since the start of the school year in September. Furthermore, many people were added to my friend-circle.

A good news was that Estelle, my best friend and I had been able to find a way to be together although we weren't going to the same school.

She attended the Academy Of Music And The Performing Arts where she could study the cinema as she had desired it during school, which was brilliant because this one was also situated in Vienna.

We had thus found a small nice apartment in the center of the city which we shared and paid to 3.

Our roommate was called Evi. I had to admit we were extremely lucky to share an apartment with her. She could have been a disgusting fool, but she was all other than that.

Evi, whose physical appearance reminded of a character pulled out of the Harry Potter World, had short black hair with matching dark – yet attractive – eyes that would stare deep into your soul while talking to her.

To return to the present time, I still found myself on my bed.

My beloved bed, not that shitty bed in Vienna.

- Dinner's ready! My mother's voice echoed from the kitchen.

I jumped out of bed and went to the kitchen where my sister joined me.

Chicken with pepper sauce, purée and salad- YUMMY!

Homemade food was the best, no discussion about this. I looked back to the disgusting smelly fish that had been given to us the day before yesterday at school.

My body was shaken by a shiver of disgust.

My mum had been cooking a hearty meal because I was back home. It made my heart melt that she put so many efforts for making our family happy, even though we were suffering from a lack of money. She worked hard to pay the costs for my studies. She should definitely open a restaurant, she would earn so much more money..yet even though she had successfully studied cooking, she hadn't enough money to open a restaurant.

- So, you're on holiday now ? My sister asked me by taking a full spoon of purée to her mouth.

- Yeah, 3 weeks! We were given a project to prepare during 4 weeks which will be our mark for this quarter.
