Chapter 1
Scarlett hugged her mom tightly not wanting to let go as if it's the last time she will be seeing her
"I'm going to miss you mum" she cried
Her mum pulled away from the hug and stare at her face
"Don't cry baby, you know I will miss you more, just remember all I have told you, stay away from people that won't benefit your life, you know how I struggle to get you to college and don't you ever make me regret doing so" she said touching her cheeks
"I won't mum, I promise to make you proud, I promise to be the woman you want me to be" she muttered trying to stop the tears
It was hard leaving her mum, she has grown up having her mum all by her side and surely it wouldn't be easy for her
"You got to go scar, I will really love to go with you but you know I still had to open the store" her mum said
She nodded because she understands perfectly
"It's okay mum and please promise not to stress yourself too much" she said and her mum nodded giving her a smile
"Promise to call me when you get there" her mum added
"And I promise to visit home when I'm free, bye mum" she kiss her cheeks and walked out of the small apartment she share with her mother
Life has really been hard on them since when her dad died,
She kept wondering how her mother was able to send her to college but one thing was sure she was never going to let her mum down
She stop a cab and after staring at the house she grew, she heaved entering the cab
The cab drove down to the city, she hasn't ever been to the city but she has heard of how big it was
She rested her head as thing flow into her memory
Who will help her mum now in their grocery store??
She thought as the cab drove down the road
After some hours of ride the cab finally stopped, she enlighten with her few stuff and paid the man off
She walked to her room number, she doesn't have enough money for a house, so she was going to be living in an hostel, she got to her hostel and heaved when there was no sight of her roommate
he quickly unpacked her little stuff and went to take a shower
She was almost done when she heard noises outside
Maybe her roommate is back
She quickly rushed up with her bath and came her
She saw two girls who was smoking and drinking,
They were even making out, maybe a lesbian! She thought
She cleared her throat and the girls turned to stare at her,
A fair skinned girl walked up to her and smile
"I guessed you are my roommate, I'm Valerie" she said offering her a handshake
"Scarlett" she replied with a smile
"Nice meeting you" she added
"You want some" Valerie asked offering her a cigarette
"No I'm fine" she shook her head
"A newbie" the other girl who was making out with Valerie said
"Don't mind her, she's Ella my girlfriend" Valerie said and she saw Scarlett eyes widened
"Don't be surprised, I'm a lesbian, I guessed you should enjoy your stay in college, am off" Valerie said and walk away with Ella
Scarlett sighted walking to her bed, one thing she has learn before coming to college is to avoid everyone
She quickly took her phone and placed a call to her mother.
