Chapter one : back to life

Dear diary,

Today will be different, I will smile and be a normal teenage girl, as I used to be. I will be a normal teenager who hangs out with her friends, and I will be back to life. After my father committed suicide, mom, Aarav and me moved to a town called LanCe, in Canada. Ever since dad left us everything was unusual, many bonds were broken, many faces dropped of their masks, true identities were revealed, I have been a depressed daddy's girl, who being the elder child, instead of supporting my mother I was in my own depression, but now I will be a whole new person. Better than I was, much better. This one year of my life was so depressing, and I don't know how I survived that, but I can't take that anymore; memories ran in my mind about my father, his promises that he will be there for us, I survived. But it wont happen anymore, I will live an amazing life; amazing.

Today is my first day at my acting college, yes, I always loved acting since I was a child. And it is happening, mom has been supporting me a lot, I mean acting colleges aren't so affordable. But mom, being herself does not let me down. Nadia will be accompanying me to this big place, Steller LanCe; a college for everything, acting, directing, and everything. I will be in acting section while Nadia will persuade modelling; of course she will, she is one of the most sexiest women in LanCe. Ever since I moved here, I got many friends, but Nadia; she was real, a true friend I always needed.

So, I will be fine, actually better than fine, awesome.

I got out of my bed, and went in for shower, the best place for thinking. I turned on the knob, letting down cold water to rinse my head. Washing away the pains and sufferings I have been suffering. I closed my eyes washing away tear marks on my face which was marked like it was embedded on my cheeks, since papa committed suicide.

I dried myself and wrapped a bathrobe around me and went up to my closet. What should I wear? A normal teenage worries. I took out a red tank top, and a pair of denim pants. I took out my favourite jacket, the one in which I am most comfortable. In LanCe, its almost cold, sun normally doesn't show up, I miss the sun, but I love the view of the mountains.

There was a knock on the door, it was Nadia.

"Swara, you're ready?" Nadia shouted, while knocking the door continuously. Such a desperate and cute bean. I love Nadia so much, she was there for me when I needed her, she was the one who was by my side even when my childhood friend from India broke ties with me. She believed in me, she believed that I will be fine and extra-fine.

"I am getting ready, Nadia, have some patience at least. I can't let you see me naked." I said while pulling my pants up.

"As if I haven't seen you naked?" She giggled, that caught my attention, no she haven't.

"When? That's a lie now." I gave out a sarcastic laugh, and unlatched the door. Nadia stood all gorgeous. She wore a white floral dress, with pink flowers. A belt tied around her 24 inch waist. She wore a blue denim crop jacket over. Her hair were down open, while her make-up was light and she looked complete.

"Nadia Winchester, when the hell you watched me naked?" I hit her on her shoulders and she showed me her tongue and entered the room.

"I know I haven't, I knew when I will say I've seen you naked then you may open the door quickly." She giggled and adjust her bra while looking in the mirror.

"You bitch."

"You doubt. Now Swara, go change." 

"Change? This is what I am wearing."
