Birmingham, my new home
One Direction: A life of being a fanWhen we arrived in Birmingham, I really got nervous and I really don't know why.
"Your brother is here" my mom hurriedly went to my brother who is waiting for us
I walked behind my mom. When I'm nervous, I really bite my lower lip. Then suddenly, a man bumped into me
"I'm sorry" I said while looking down
He got something from the floor and stood up and nodded. He continued walking
I looked at him curiously. He was wearing a polo shirt and jeans. He was wearing shades and a round cap. He seems so familiar.
"Jessy!" my mom called me
I looked at her and went to her
My brother pulled me for a hug "I miss you little brat"
"I miss you too bro!"
He let go of me "I already saw One Direction"
I pouted. I pout when I'm jealous
"I even saw your Zayn Malik" he tucked his tongue out
"Someday, I'll meet them" I tucked my tongue out
"Okay. Stop talking about that. Let's go. I'm a little bit tired"
We nodded and went to my brother's car. While we were heading to my brother's car, I realized that the picture of Zayn I was holding
during the trip was lost. I tried to look it on my pocket, bag and wallet but it wasn't there. Where is the picture right now? Then I realized,
the picture was lost after I was bumped into the man a while ago. I even remembered that he got something from the floor and stood
up. Maybe the picture was with him! OMG! What would I do? That man is already lost. Where can I find him? Arggh!
"Jessy. Let's go" my brother said
I sighed and went inside the car
When we arrived at the apartment where my brother lives, I put the luggages in the living room.
"You live here?" I asked as I was rooming around inside the apartment
"Yes. Why?" he asked curiously
"It doesn't look like an apartment" I smiled at him
"Well... Your room is beside my room" he said as he pointed out the room beside the door
I went to the room and took a look inside "It seems so old"
My brother was helping my mother unpacking her things
"Do you have paint?" I asked him
"It's in the cabinet near the kitchen"
I went to the cabinet near the kitchen and saw two cans of paint. One is apple green and the other is sky blue. I got the two paints
and placed them inside my room. I went to my brother and asked if he has anything decoratives but he said he doesn't have one. I
decided to look for a store who sells decorative for the house. I walked few blocks away from the apartment and saw a store who
sells paints, furnitures and decoratives for the house. I bought curtains, blankets, pillows and many more. My mom gave me money
before I went out from the apartment. While I was walking going back to the apartment, I saw one store who sells posters, pictures
and albums of popular artists. I went inside and saw a lot of pictures of One Direction. I bought some pictures and went home. I
started painting my room. The north and south wall was painted with apple green. The west and east wall was painted with sky blue.
After I let the paints dry, I started decorating my room. I have a window so I decided to put a curtain on it. I placed some of my pillows
on my bed and I started to unpack my things. I post the pictures of One Direction beside my window. And after a few minutes of
decorating... Tada! My room is done.
I sighed after painting and decorating my room. My mom went inside my room and looked at my room. She was shocked by the
room I made. She was looking around "Wow! I never thought you're good at this"
She looked at me and smiled
I smiled back at her
She sat on my bed "Have you already decided what will be your course in college?"
I sighed and think for a while "I want to be a fashion designer. Fashion designer is really my dream"
"Then, why do you like to get Physical Therapy when we are still in the Philippines?"
"Because you and grandma wants me to get a course that has Science on it. Don't tell me, you're not going to agree on my
chosen course"
"I will agree since it's your dream. I don't want you to enroll in a course that you don't really want because you're forced to do so.
Now, it's your choice" my mom stood up and went near to me
"Since to become a Fashion Designer is your dream, I'll support you" my mom put her hands on my shoulders and smiled at me
"Thanks mom" I hugged her tightly
I thought I will never reach my dreams. Now that I can have the chance to reach it, I'll do my best to reach it.
I let go of her
"Okay, sleep now because I'll enroll you to Birmingham City University. It's a nice school"
"Why so early?" I asked her curiously
"So that if you can't pass in Birmingham City University, I can enroll you to another school"
"Why? You don't trust me?" I asked her
"I trust you but I was just thinking of what if's" she said
"If you really trust me, stop thinking of what if's"
"Okay" she smiled and kissed my forehead
"Sleep now" she smiled and went out
I sighed and lay down on my bed. I can pass the entrance exam tomorrow. I now I can. I stood up and turned the lights off and
went to sleep.
