"Rose, can you come here, please!" My mother yelled from downstairs. Groaning, I trudged downstairs to see what she wanted.
"Yes, mother?" I said sarcastically, because she rudely interrupted me, while I was trying to figure out what I'm going to wear for the first day of senior year tomorrow.
She rolled her eyes while saying, "Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you will be attending St. Vladimir's, a boarding school outside of Montana", she said.
"WHAT?" I screamed "How could you do this to me, you know tomorrows the first day of my senior year"!
"I know, I know, I can't explain how sorry I am, but its time. With your 18th birthday next month, I alone cannot teach you everything in time before it's too late".
"I do not understand, what are it too late for and its time"?
"I cannot tell you right now, you have to find out yourself. Rose, honey, you are different than those you surround you. You are special, very special, and you need to unleash your full abilities". I had no idea what she was talking about, but deep down, my mind was telling me I need to give it a chance and I won't regret it.
"Okay, I will go, but I'll never forgive you for this one" I said, simply. She had a sad look in her eyes, that instantly made me regret what I said, but before I knew it she said" Alright, but I will always be here, if you ever need me, the van will be here at 8 tonight.
I slowly went up stairs, to start packing. I had no idea what she meant about how I was different. And that I need to 'unleash' my abilities. Is there something she's not telling me? Of course there is, but looks like I have to go out in the middle of nowhere to find out about it. There was always this feeling in my chest, an urge that keeps telling me that I don't belong here, ever since my 18th birthday got close and closer. Hopefully, I'll found out what exactly that urge is soon.
Before I knew it, it was 7:55, and the van will be coming to come pick me up. So, I went downstairs, to say goodbye to my mother.
Before I even spoke, she ran up to me, and gave me a huge hug," I'm so sorry, honey, but you have to go", she says, tears flowing down her face.
"It's okay, mom, I know you always wanted the best for me and if you think this is what I need to do, I'll go, just for you" I say, while pulling back.
"You don't understand, Rose, you have to do this for yourself, or you want fully become a Dham—"she gets cut off by the van horn honking in the front yard.
"Looks, like it's time to go, I love you" I say while grabbing my bags and heading out the front door.
"I love you too, Rose" she says, while waving.
I look out into the front yard in the driveway there's a van with the name, "St. Vladimir's" stamped on the side of the van in big black letters. When, I got inside there was a woman inside in her late 30s, with a tag with the name Alberta on it. She didn't say a word, just smiled politely. Talk about weird. Anyway, I look outside the window and see a tear go down my mother's face. Well, hell, looks like Janine Hathaway does have feelings.
