2. Her perfect life

Bianca

Sweat was dripping from my forehead but I couldn't wipe it. My fingers kept fiddling with each other and my legs wouldn't stop shaking.

"Will you stop shaking? " Shawn said annoyed by my hyper actions.

" Sorry, please check the list." I continued to pray to God.

I just hope I get selected. I have been waiting for this e-mail for a month now, I couldn't help but feel scared of not being selected.

"Bi, stop being so nervous. You are a bright students, it would be their loss if they didn't accept you." I knew that he was just trying to comfort me.

He opened my laptop and checked the email.

" Shawn wait!! " I shouted. He looked at me with annoyed face and raised his eyebrows, " What if I don't get selected? How will I go to New York? "

He closed his eyes, "Bianca you don't need to worry about it. I promises you even if you don't get selected I'll help you study in new york."

I smiled at him, I am so lucky to have a brother like him who supports me in everything. Without even asking why I want to study in that college.

''Now can I see the e-mail? " I nodded my head in 'yes' and my hands again joined to pray again.

I closed my eyes not wanting to face any rejection , I couldn't see my hardwork being destroy. This means alot to me, and I don't even have any backup plan. If I didn't make it then Dad would not never allow me to study in New York.

My Dad is a great person, he owns his own shop and works really hard but he can be  quite controlling. Like I am not allowed to go out of the house after 8, I can't go to any party and I don't even have any friend. Ok fine, the friend part is due to my fault and not my dad's.

"Bianca" I heard Shawn's voice and he sounded nervous. My eyes were still closed so I can't see his face.

" What happened? " I shuttered.

My heartbeat went faster than ever and my legs were still shaking. Shawn went quite making me even more nervous if possible. I opened my eyes and saw that he was looking at me with sad face.

My vision became blur due to the tears. What did I expect? That I'll get that scholarship in St Mary. No, students works so hard to get the scholarship, as only 5 students are selected every year.

But you tried your best.

Maybe I didn't , otherwise I would have been selected. I didn't watch any of my favourite shows or movie instead I focused on studies. When all my family was busy in parties and family functions I kept myself locked in the room. But in return I got failure.

"Bianca," Shawn called me. He took the laptop and showed me. " I was kidding, you're selected."

I looked at the screen with wide eyes, it was my scholarship letter. I couldn't believe it.

"Oh my god!!! " I shouted and hugged him tightly.

He laughed at me and started spinning , I started laughing along with him.

" Why did you do that? ", I asked with a pout.

" To mess with you." he placed a hand on my head and pulled my hair.

"Hey! " I started running behind him like crazy.

Being a footballer he was much faster then me and my height didn't help much. I hate being small , everyone treats me like a toddler, I even feel like one.

I wish I had my dad's height but instead I got my mother's gene.

Shawn ran down the stairs and I followed him, our house wasn't big but still we could run while breaking things along our way.

" Kids stop."Mom shouted.

We immediately stopped at our place, mom placed both her hand on hip and gave us a disappointed look.

"Even small kids are better than you. Don't you have any shame Shawn you're going to graduate next year and Bianca you completed your high school. Behave like adults,"she scolded.

Shawn went towards her and hugged her sweetly, " It's not my fault she started hitting me." My mouth open at his words.

"No mom, he is lying," I said .

But I should have known better that no matter what mom is always going to take her son's side. Shawn is Mama's boy and it annoys me but I also have advantage as Dad always take my side against him. But he is not home right now.

" What is happening? " a smile came on my face hearing Dad's voice.

I looked at Shawn and his face paled, I stick my tongue at him and ran towards Dad.

" Dad, Shawn is  teasing me,"I complained.

Dad looked at Shawn and he gulped, both of us know that Dad is harsh on Shawn when he does anything to me.

"I-i was joking," he nervously laughed. " Bianca why don't you tell them about your scholarship? "

Dad turned towards me and raised his eyebrows.

"I got selected in St Mary," I said with big smile on my face.

But Dad's face was still cold and expressionless. He didn't look happy or proud as I thought. I looked at Shawn and he had same confused expression.

" You are not going to study there," he finally said wipping my smile.

"Why? " my voice came out as a low whisper.

" I can't let you go to other state by yourself ,"  He said.

I looked at my mother to take my side but she looked down. All my hopes are gone, if Dad doesn't give permission then I wouldn't make it.

Even after the getting selected I couldn't go there.

" Dad, Bianca has worked really hard for this scholarship. She didn't even celebrate her birthday, I have seen her dedication for it. It's once in a life time opportunity. Please, don't stop her. Let her go," Shawn said. I shocked at my brothers words.

I knew that he will help me to go new york but I wasn't sure if he'll able to speak against Dad.

We looked at Dad in hope. He observed my face and walked towards me.

"Do you really want to study there away from us? In the new city,"  he asked.

I nodded my head.

He let out a sigh, " Fine ."

I jumped in him and wrapped my arms around his neck. I still couldn't believe this ,it all felt like a dream. I'm finally going to New York.
