Year Two
New Start
Lizzie's P.O.V
"You are to be studying. You need to be at the top of your class.Just because I let you have two majors-"I stopped listening to my father's rambling and looked out the window of the cab, watching the beautiful scenery pass.
I was transferring to The University of Cambridge.I was excited,to say the least.I would be far away from my controlling father.I am an only child and my mom past away a couple of years ago,which was part of the reason he was so overbearing.This was going to be my new start.
"Do you understand me young lady?"He said
"Yes sir."I said looking back at him. Even though I wasn't paying attention,I knew it was all about what I should be doing. I've heard it about a hundred times in the last 2 days.
A lot of my summer was taking extra courses,and interning at my father's business.I didn't get much time for my self,but when I did I took full advantage of it.I spent as much time as possible with my friends. My favorite thing in the world is music,which is why it is my second major.My music expresses what I’m to afraid to. It helps me escape my reality,and I just lose myself in it.
“We’re here. ”The cab driver said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I look out of the window and sure enough there it was, Cambridge .It was a lot bigger than I imagined. I got out of the cab, and went to the open trunk and grabbed my bag.
“Remember”My father started
“Study and focus” I finished
“Good Girl” he said. Before I knew It The cab was gone and I was alone. I looked at the people around me wondering if they’d be in one of my classes .Or if one of them would be my roommate. I grabbed my bag and started to walk when I realized, I didn’t know where I was going.I walked around hoping to find where to get the key to my new room. The room where I'd spend the next year of my life.
“Need help?”I turned around to see a guy wearing a Jack Daniels tee shirt and black jeans.
“Erm..Yea I need to go get my room key.”I say
“Follow me.I'm Michael Clifford by the way.”He says extending his hand shaking mine.
“I'm Lizzy Dawson.”I say with a smile.
“I'm guessing you’re new here?”He said.I nodded.It didn't even take us two minutes to get to the place to get my key,which made me feel stupid. I mumbled a thank you as I went to get the key.It surprised me when I came back and he was still waiting there.
"I'm assuming you're going to need help finding your dorm as well."He said.I smile and nod as I make my way over to him.
