chapter 1
"Oh my god, I can't believe I'm going to uni, so excited I can't wait for it to start."
"Oh do not be, trust me it's nothing special and you will get bored really soon." responded her friend.
"Can you at least not ruin my mood and let me live the moment." she glared at him
"But you know it's true." He laughed
"Shut up!!" she yelled not wanting him to destroy her dreams of uni she has been waiting for the day when she goes to a new place and meet new people and most importantly her prince charming.
"You will come nagging at how boring and stressful it is in no time. No worries I'll be here for you." he chuckled teasing her.
"You know what, I'm leaving I've got work to do." she spoke leaving towards her home "And don't call me." she sang out loud reaching the door.
Willow has been saving herself all these past years in hopes of finding the right man and that at university, yet something bothered her a great deal.
Reaching her house she walked straight to her room calling her friend -the one she so kindly ordered not to call her- yet she needed to talk to him, they have been friends since primary school.
"Didn't you say 'don't call me!'?" he mimicked her voice through the phone.
"Actually, Mike there's this thing that is bothering me."
"What is it?" He asked suddenly serious
"What if I can't make friends there and I end up all alone in such a huge campus," she spoke desperately.
"Oh come on Willow, we both know that's not gonna happen, girl do you look at yourself in the mirror?" he spoke trying to comfort her.
"You know I don't have one in my bedroom." she joked
"You're going to be alright, just stop glaring at people and you'll be fine." he teased
"I don't glare, that's my face." she sang.
"Oh yeah, yeah... Anyway, call me if you need anything," he spoke
"Okay boo" she responded throwing her phone on the bed. Willow opened her window looking at herself "I am beautiful." she whispered smiling at her reflection.
Throwing herself on the bed, a habit she couldn't get rid of no matter how many times her family nagged about, she reached for her phone sending a message to Mike
<tell the Zed that we need to go out before starting school.>
< Why don't you tell him yourself.> she got a response
< Because I don't want to, you know how possessive his girlfriend is.>
<Kay sweets.>
< don't call me that.>
<Sweets.> he added making her throw her phone again in frustration he knew very well how to get on her nerves.
Putting some music on, she decided to spare her closet the chaos and get things tidy and in order, this is a new start for her and she has to be well prepared for it.
It was evening when she finished, she decided to take a shower and get ready for bed.
.
.
Sun rays bothered her beauty sleep, she woke up annoyed until her brain started working, smiling she threw herself back on the bed "Tomorrow is the day." she stretched squeaking. Standing up to wash her face, she looked at herself in the mirror "Oh such a mess, a hot mess." she laughed to herself. Willow took off her hair from the braid she made yesterday after showering; walking towards the kitchen she sat to eat the breakfast her grandmother made.
Her phone startled her, picking it up "First thing in the morning." she groaned
"Who else but I can bother you." he cheered making her smile
"Nobody." she laughed drinking her milk.
"We're waiting for your majesty," informed Mike
"You're already here?" she asked
"Take a look," he spoke
"Uh Nah, I'll change my clothes and come right away," she spoke ending the call.
Going towards her bedroom, she threw on a white T-shirt along with knee ripped jeans and white Nike.
Willow applied some sunscreen and lipstick.
Running towards the door she chanted "I'm leaving." informing her grandma.
"what's up boo." Asked Zed
"I'm doing fine, you?" she smiled cheerfully.
"Great now that I saw you," he spoke turning towards her as she settled herself in the back seat.
"What was your girlfriend's number again." teased Mike from the passenger seat.
"Shut up dude, I have known willow for years now." he glared at Mike
"Yeah yeah, willow and I just met I'm sorry," he spoke sarcastically making her laugh.
"Enough let's hit the road." she cheered.
"As you wish your majesty." teased Mike making her smile again
She felt happy and blessed; it is in fact rare to find such amazing friends.
"So what's the plan?" she asked
"Don't you want to go shopping for tomorrow?" asked Zed
"Nah, I have got enough clothes already, it took me half a day to clean my closet yesterday."
"Okay then we'll have a walk around the mall, eat lunch together then, there's a football match that we can watch," spoke Zed
"Sounds fine," she responded.
Hours flew by; as they sat together eating ice cream while waiting for the match to start, Mike and Zed teased her about the fact that she has to start uni tomorrow while they still had time to chill around.
"So as you gentlemen have got nothing to do come with me, I'm kind of anxious about not making friends."
"And why do you think you won't be able to make friends?" asked Zed
"And why do you think we have got nothing to do?" added Mike
"First of all I don't know if I'm going to meet nice people or not and what if they don't like me or my personality, Mike said that I glare while it is just my face, also ..." She started
"Calm down Willow you will be fine, man look at yourself you're standing out between all these girls with only some lipstick on can't you see the looks they're giving you." Spoke Zed.
"That's not the problem Zed," she whined
"Also about your glaring habit, it's not bad unwanted people will stay away." winked Mike
"Mike!" she called sweetly
"Willow!" he mimicked
"I hate you." she glared
"Em boo, that's why we've been side by side for thirteen years now." he smiled making her sigh in disbelief before smiling herself.
"Uh uh where am I?" asked Zed dramatically
"Come here." she giggled hugging both of them.
"You guys are such a blessing" she added.
"You will conquer the uni tomorrow deal?" cheered Zed making all of them laugh
"And call us if you find your prince charming!!" teased Mike making her shake her head in disbelief.
They watched the football match before driving her home, encouraging her throughout the whole road back.
Her Alarm went off at 6:45.
Waking up, she yawned stretching on the bed.
Washing her face, eating breakfast then brushing her teeth, Willow hurried towards her bed where she put the outfit of the day earlier.
"Here we go let's start this." she tried hyping herself.
