A new beginning

Chapter 6: A New Beginning 

The sun rose slowly over Silver Creek, casting its warm golden light upon the sleepy town. As the first rays of sunlight streamed through the curtains, Lisa Micheal awoke to the sound of her alarm clock.Today was the day she had been dreaming of and working towards for as long as she could remember. It was a day she had been anxiously awaiting for weeks - her first day at her new school. The summer had flown by in a blur of excitement and anticipation, and now the moment was finally here. Lisa took a deep breath and whispered to herself, "This is it. A new beginning." Lisa's family had moved to the picturesque town of silver creek over the summer, leaving behind their bustling city life. It was a drastic change, but one that they all welcomed with open arms. Lisa's father had died when she was young, at least that was what her mother always told her anytime she asked about him. She barely knew anything about him not even a picture, he was like a bad omen her mother was scared of mention. Her mother had taken up a position at the community center. As for Lisa, she was about to embark on a new journey at fountain collage. For Lisa, attending Fountain College was not just a dream, but a goal that she had set for herself early on in her academic journey. Throughout her childhood, Lisa had been an introverted and shy individual. However, her reserved nature often made it difficult for her to forge deep connections with those around her. Nevertheless, she had managed to cultivate a small circle of close friends who shared her passion for learning and understood her quiet demeanor. The night before, Lisa had meticulously laid out her outfit for the first day - a light blue dress with white polka dots, a denim jacket, and her favorite pair of sneakers. She wanted to make a good impression, and dressing well was a small step towards that goal. After getting dressed and eating breakfast, Lisa grabbed her backpack, She glanced at her reflection in the hallway mirror, taking a moment to adjust her hair and smile nervously at herself. "Are you ready, sweetheart?" her mother asked, looking up from her cup of coffee. "As ready as I'll ever be," Lisa replied, trying to sound more confident than she felt. With a reassuring hug from her mother and a pat on the back from her father, Lisa stepped out of her house and into the crisp morning air. The walk to the bus stop was only a short distance, and the streets were lined with trees that had begun to display the first signs of autumn. As she walked, Lisa tried to calm her racing thoughts by focusing on the beauty around her. The leaves crunched under her feet, and she could hear birds singing their morning songs. She got to the bus stop and not long later, a the bus pulled over and she got in. The whole journey to school was quite peaceful except for the constant annoying giggling sound the girl that sat beside her kept making it looked as if she was reading a novel online. Almost an hour later she arrived at the school's bus stop and got down. As she made her way to the Fountain College campus, Lisa couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the beautiful architecture and lush greenery that surrounded her. The college itself was an impressive sight, with its stately buildings and sprawling grounds that seemed to invite exploration and discovery. As Lisa walked closer to the campus, she felt a growing sense of belonging and knew that she had made the right choice in pursuing her education here. Lisa's heart began to race even faster. The imposing brick building loomed ahead, and she could see throngs of students milling about, chatting and laughing with one another. She took a deep breath and reminded herself that she had faced challenges before and always come out stronger. This would be no different. Upon entering the school, Lisa was greeted by a cacophony of sounds - the chatter of students, the slamming of lockers, and the footsteps echoing through the hallways. It was both exhilarating and overwhelming at the same time. Lisa consulted the schedule she had received in the mail, noting that her first lectures was English with Mrs. Thompson. She made her way through the crowded halls, trying to blend in and not draw attention to herself. As she entered the hall, it was crowded and filled with different kind of people each with a unique appearance. she could hardly find her way through Lisa scanned the room for an empty seat. She spotted one near the back and quickly claimed it as her own. The other students paid her little mind, too caught up in their own conversations to notice her in their midst. When she got to the sit, there was a girl sitting beside the empty space. She was smiling really hard and observing everyone as thou she was in the cinema. Lisa approached and stopped beside her "is anyone here?" She asked with the most polite tone she could come up with. "No" the girl replied then she stretched her hands for a handshake " my name is Mia" she said while shaking Lisa's hand. "I have a feeling we will get along really well" she said. Mia had a bright smile and a bubbly personality, and she eagerly invited Lisa to sit with her and her friends. As they chatted about their favorite books, movies, and hobbies, Lisa felt a sense of belonging that she hadn't experienced all her life. "Have you guys heard, apperently we have 3 supernovas in our year" A girl sitting in front of Lisa said to her friend " really? I heard about it too but I haven't seen any of them" the friend replied " that's because they are not here yet one of them is Elijah" said the girl. Her friend was shocked and it seemed to Lisa as if the Elijah mentioned was a really popular person but it had nothing to do with her, she never had passion for school gossip especially when it involved boys she preferred to keep herself away from all the drama just as her mother always adviced. While she was still Lost in thought, the teacher entered and introduced himself. And so began her first day in college
