A Dream Come True

Chapter 1: Beginnings

I sit in my seat anxiously waiting for my name to be called. I still can't believe that I've made it here. I'm 18 and today is my high school graduation. "… Crystal Stone." I hear everyone clapping as I stand up to walk on stage, shaking my principle's hand and accepting my diploma. I walk off to the side and make my way back to my seat. I wait patiently while everyone else accepts their diploma. Then the valedictorian gets up and says a few words. I'm actually a little upset because I had tried so hard to be in her place. But it's alright, she deserves to be there. After her speech we all move the tassel on our caps to the other side and applaud.

Afterwards I chat with my friends for a little bit. I can't believe I'll never seem them again after this. I had applied to college but later found out I couldn't go because I couldn't afford tuition. However my friends got into the same college and will be there together. So I give them one last hug goodbye and walk off. Meeting up with my family, my mother and my older brother. Unfortunately my father could attend because he had to work. He's always working and sometimes I feel that's why mom left him. I give them hugs and tell them I'll be home later. My mother tells me not to be out too late. Meaning she wants me home by eleven. I watch as they leave, waiting until they're gone before I head to my car.

I grab my change of clothes from the back seat, looking around and change into them right there. I sit in my car for a couple of minutes just thinking of where I want to go from here. I start my car and head towards the gas station since I'm almost on empty. Once my tank is full I drive out of town. I don't really know where I'm going. I end up at a park me and my friends used to go to. I find a parking spot and stop. Grabbing my iPod as I get out of my car, I decide to lay on the hood. I have almost fifteen hundred songs and I listen to only eighty seven, the ones by my favorite band Gorillaz. Scrolling through the artist listings I choose them and click shuffle. Putting my iPod in my pocket as I close my eyes, soaking up the sun.

I'm not really sure when I fell asleep but I did. I open my eyes to find that the stars have sprinkled over the sky. I reach at my pocket for my phone when I remember that it's in the glove box. Reluctantly I get up and unlock my car. Getting my phone out to check the time, its 10:30. I shrug, looking back up at the stars before getting in my car.

I drive home, but stop at the post office to check the mail. There's a letter saying we're two months behind on rent. On the way home all I could think about was what I going to do. I can't afford to go to school like I want and I'm not going to spend the rest of my life working at a convince store. I park my car in the driveway. Unlocking the door to our small trailer, I drop the notice letter on the table and head to my room. In my room I have a poster of the Gorillaz from phase three along with some other pictures of them that I printed out from the internet and taped to my walls. Plopping down on my bed, I crawl under the covers and fall asleep. My earbuds still playing Gorillaz songs.

I woke up around 2 in the morning and have decided what I'm going to do. This idea I have is one I've thought of many times before. I grab an old suitcase from my closet and start packing, staying as quiet as I can. I grab a piece of paper and write out a note to my mother, "Dear mom, I am sorry, but by the time you read this I will be on the next flight out of here. Gone. I won't be coming back, and if I do then you will know that I have made it. Love always Crystal P.S. You're two months behind on rent." At the bottom I sketch a quick picture of the Union Jack. I grab of a piece of tape and go to my mother's room. I tape the note to her mirror and pull out a few hundred dollars from her purse. Back in my room I get the mini safe out from the corner of my closet and take the stack of money out. It's all the money I've gotten since my sixteenth birthday. I get another bag and pack it with the things I want to take for my carry on. I change into something really comfortable and grab my keys.
