Chapter 2
My days went, as usual, home to school, then school to home. Nancy made my life colorful. She was a
special angel sent by the gods. I applied for the entrance exam in the number one college in my city. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
New bane city, one of the largest and famous cities in my country. Well to add that Nancy insisted I
apply there.
" Sometimes you have to make choices in your life. Your life may not be a bed of Roses. I may have
fallen to a pit but when you look at every corner of that pit you may find a ladder that you can climb up
and search for a miracle ". I wrote it in my diary. I had a habit of writing a diary. I used to write diaries
when I was a little girl. I closed my diary and went to the kitchen to make dinner. Tomorrow is a big day
where my entrance exam results will be published. I was looking forward to that day.
I spent many hours studying to get into that college. They also offered scholarships to students who get
higher ranks. I hope I will make it to the top 10 students.
"Scholarship is all I needed. At least my account will be happy that it is getting something other than
spider webs " I smiled thinking about that.
The next day, after finishing my daily activities, I took my usual bus. This time, the driver didn't scold me
because I was always running and shouting behind it. He looked so pleased with himself.
As I was walking through the hallway on the way to my class I saw miss Rachel talking with miss
Samantha. They looked thrilled early in the morning. I wonder why?. At the next moment, they both
came running towards me with excitement. Their eyes sparkled while looking at me.
"Congratulations Maria Drew. You made it " she said, smiling while hugging me.
I was dumbfounded and shocked. I even forgot to close my mouth.
" You got the first rank. I am so proud of you Maria, "Rachel continued.
I was crying tears of joy. She wiped my tears and hugged me again.
I was on cloud nine. Everything around me stopped.
"Yes. I did it. Finally, " First time in my life I was very proud of myself.
Yes, some more steps and I will be successful. I thanked God for hearing my prayers and thoughts.
I sighed a relief and rushed to my class to see whether or not Nancy had arrived. I found her sitting on
the middle bench and scribbling something in her books. I told her everything. Her warm hug made my
heart melt.
"I knew it. I told you-you are a smart girl. I always believed in you. We need to celebrate this. Oh yeah,"
she laughed.
"I never thought I will achieve this. First rank. Those efforts I put into my studies didn't go down. " I said
to her.
" The world seems to be a better place now. I am so happy. "I added.
I need to get home and tell my parents about this news. It was their dream. They must be very proud of
their daughter.
The teachers brought me a gift to congratulate me. I was the only student who got the chance to study
in such a prestigious institution. They beautifully wrapped the gift inside a rainbow paper with blue
ribbons. I was curious, so I asked miss Rachel.
"Open it, Maria," she said.
I was getting excited. So I opened my gift, which made my eyes widen. It was a smartphone with a
wide range of extra features. I can tell it was very expensive. Of course the most expensive gift I got in
my life.
"Miss .. but . it costs a lot of money. Do I deserve this ?" I told her.
She smiled.
"Not so expensive for our favorite student, "She said.
"You deserve more than this. "Other teachers said. I looked at them with my puppy eyes.
"I am so proud of you, "She added.
I wiped my tears and thanked them.
Nancy was so happy for me. I never owned a phone in my life. My first phone.
"Let's take a picture together. "
I said goodbye to her. I was in a hurry to get home.
"Mom, where is dad?" I asked her. She was stitching my skirt.
"He is sleeping. You look happy today. Did something happen in school today? " She asked me. She
looked confused.
" Mom. I got a surprise for you "
She looked up. Then she stopped her work, got up, and walked towards me.
I told her everything that happened. She jumped with joy and hugged and kissed me several times.
She looked so proud of me.
I have never seen my mom looked so happy in my life. I showed her my new phone.
"Look, mom. This is a gift from my teachers. I am like a star in my school."
"We can take lots of pictures. Oh, let's surprise dad tomorrow. He looks so tired today. So I don't want
to disturb him. Let him sleep. "
The phone we got in our home was from the dinosaur era, so she was so surprised to see such an
expensive-looking gadget. I taught her how to use all the features.
I told my dad the next day while having breakfast. He hugged me and advised me to keep going. I
loved hearing advice from my dad. That's what made me keep going in my life.
After eating breakfast, I went to my room and looked at my new phone. I needed a new sim card. I
jumped to the bed and hugged the pillow, smiling like a teenager in love. It was really silly. I took my
diary and wrote about everything that happened. After finishing, I closed my diary and went to the
bathroom to clean myself.
After cleaning myself self I put on my pajamas and went back to my bed.
