CHAPTER ONE.
DAWN'S POV.
As soon as I stepped out of Mr. Jones' car, a view of the massive building greeted me, serving as a reminder that I had gotten the chance to study here.
A scholarship to one of the most prestigious colleges in the city. Everyone's dream school.
Finally, I could study freely, be myself, achieve my dreams, and maybe even meet him afterward, without anyone being insulting towards me or reminding me about my parents.
I found myself smiling wide at this thought, my heart racing.
"Are you alright, girl?" I heard Mr. Jones right from behind me, and I found myself trembling for no reason, before turning to face him.
He too had gotten out of his vehicle and was adjusting his suit.
"Yes, thank you so much, sir, for everything, especially this," I replied with a thin smile while gesturing with my free hand towards the gigantic building, my books in the other.
"I should be thanking you instead, kiddo. I owe you my life," he told me with a bright smile, reminding me of the incident which led to all this, the incident which brought me here.
He started moving towards the building, and I followed right behind him, my two hands clutching my books tightly to my chest, my head bent down towards the floor, due to the fellow students I saw walking around, and I wondered why.
'Could it be the fact that I did not belong here with them?' I wondered.
We made our way towards the Chief Accountant's office to get myself settled in, and after everything, I was handed my timetable, my hostel key, and other stuff.
The registration was pretty easy and simple, but I needed not be surprised, for it was a big shot who gave me the admission after all.
"I will be taking my leave now, Dawn," Mr. Jones informed me while turning to look at his watch, and I nodded.
"Thank you once again," I appreciated for the hundredth time, and he gave me another one of his bright smiles before departing, leaving me all alone to myself and fate.
I took in a deep breath before deciding to locate my hostel room and get settled in. I used this period to look around the school, and I was amused.
'Everywhere was so perfect and beautiful'. I thought feeling my face forming into another smile.
"I finally get to study," I muttered to myself. As I was walking trying to find the hostel, the first thing I noticed was the school had a sprawling green garden and a large ground.
