Violet POV
A beautiful looking woman probably in her early twenties was seen running up the stairs with a three year old child in her arms, she looked back in fear continuously as if someone was following her, soon she got to the top of the stairs, sighed in relief and smiled at the baby
"did you really think you could run from us" a male voice came from behind her, the woman froze then gripped the baby in fear
she shouted "you can't take her"
"too late" the man said as he took a gun and shot the woman's leg making her fall and cry in pain
"noooo" she wailed as the baby was taken from her
"any last words" the man asked smiling devilishly as he pointed the gun to her forehead and pulled the trigger...
I woke up in sweat, I just had that stupid nightmare again, I've had that dream a few times ever since watching a scary movie last year, I'm not really into horror but I did it on a dare, curse Lisa for forcing me to watch
Suddenly Bella barged into my room
"come on Vee today is the big day, you have to be ready in five minutes and I've prepared your favorite breakfast"
I rolled my eyes, sometimes i think she is the big sister rather than me, she's just ten and she can cook simple dishes, do house chores and wake up early on her own.
And here I was at eighteen, too lazy to get out of bed early, even frying eggs could be considered rocket science for me.
With a groan, i lazily dragged myself out of the bed and stepped into the shower letting the warm water cool my head
Today is the day of my very important interview with Avia Institute of Gems and Jewellery the one that will grant me a scholarship to the institute.
And honestly i wasn't nervous or anxious like most people will be because not to brag but i know for a fact that I'm the best when it comes to Gems and Jewellery, so getting the scholarship will be a piece of cake for me
Within minutes i was done showering, i went to my closet and picked a denim trouser and jacket with a white shirt, i love such casual wears, they often boost my confidence
"i thought you were never going to come out" Bella teased as I entered the dining room, my mouth watered as i smelled the delicious aroma of the breakfast she just made, "you are the world best cook" i complimented her and she beamed with pride.
As I stuffed my face with waffles I told her "remember if Amanda and Gary comes home and asks of me you know what to say" she sighed "you know I'm not a fan of lies but for you, I'll do it"
Avia Institute of Gems and Jewellery is known as the world's number one institute of studying Gems and creating Jewellery, any parent will be proud to have their child there except mine of course.
Though the tuition is expensive, over five thousand people are going for the interview and out of this five thousand, Three thousand will gain admission to the institute and just ten will get the scholarship, I have to be one of the lucky ten because no one will pay for the tuition, especially not my parents, they hate the idea of me studying and are never in support of what I do
They must not even know about this interview or else they will do everything in their power to stop me, that's why Bella has to lie to them.
I kissed her cheek in appreciation "love you sis, I'm running late so i have to go now"
"Good luck Vee, i know you will do great, so eat that interview and leave no crumbs" she laughed at her own joke
Her assurance of me doing well only fueled my confidence to a 1000%
The institute has placed at least fifty buses in different parts of the country to convey interviewees to the office where the interview is to take place.
I took a taxi to the nearest bus station and Within twenty minutes i got there, and met almost a hundred interviewees standing by the side of the road, waiting for the bus to arrive
Some looked nervous while others looked determined, I sighed, today is going to be tough
Most of them stood in groups talking and sharing ideas, i didn't know anyone there so i just stood in a corner and looked over my credentials and documents that will be used during the interview.
Satisfied with what i saw, i looked up to find a handsome guy with gorgeous blond hair and grey eyes looking at me
I grimaced "and you are"
"Caleb, nice to meet you" he stretched out his hand but i didn't shake it
"I see, you are not comfortable with talking to strangers" he blushed with embarrassment putting his hand in his pocket
"What do you want" i said already bored of his presence
"you dropped your earring while walking and i thought of giving you" he said and held out a pair of my expensive Chanel earring
I touched my ear and sighed in realization "thank you so much, sorry for being rude though"
"its okay I'm not that welcoming to strangers either" he smiled, i took the earring from him and wore it.
We talked for a while and i found out that his mother is one of the directors of the institute but she told him that she will not pull strings for him and he should work just as hard as everyone to get the admission to the institute
I was surprised "wow, its rare to see parents do such, your mom must be really strict to do that, but honestly its the right thing to do"
He nodded "i couldn't agree more, mom and i strongly believe in hard work rather than nepotism, by the way getting into such an institute will be such a huge feat"
For me getting into the institute will be more than a huge feat, but a dream come true.
Gems and creation of Jewellery has been my life long passion and studying in the institute will only ignite the fervor in me and fulfill my dreams of having my own Jewellery making company, dreams of being known all over the world, dreams of proving to the world and especially my parents that girls are more than pretty faces and can achieve something other than being a good house wife.
I smiled I can't wait to make these dreams a reality.
