Two different world

Padgett POV

The sound of that annoying alarm is the one thing I hate to hear every morning but the truth is, I am stalked by it.

"This bloody alarm, can't it just stop working for once" I scream then press the button to make it mute.

Padgett, you should get off bed, you wouldn't want to be late on your first day in school.

"Come on mom, it's too early to label me a latecomer" I could hear my mom smirk then footsteps follow. Dragging myself out of bed, was all I always do, each morning, I never get used to that thing called early to bed; early to rise.

Quickly taking my bath, blushing my hair, I know I have to be in yet a short gown, not like I like wearing anything sharp, but the truth is, I am growing taller every day and mom doesn't have the luxury of changing my wears every time, so I just lie that I like them short, it looks good on me.

Come here, sweethearts! You are looking reddish like some fresh tomatoes.

Mommy! Can you stop?

Don't blame me, I want to stop but this daughter of mine, drives me nuts with her beauty and it got me wondering how many boys are on your tail.

Hearing those last parts of her words, makes my heart race, I don't just know the reason, Cameron's face keeps appearing in my eyes when boys, relationships, crushes, and love are mentioned.

You don't want me to go late to school, do you? I try changing the talk, I don't want to go through that this morning.

Fine! I give up, you should eat, so I drop you off before reporting at the clinic, remember it's my first day at the city clinic.

Never mind, I could find my way, I am not a baby.

But you are my baby?

Mrs. Ryan? She raised her hands in surrender, she knows whenever I called her that, it simply means I don't want the conversation to continue.

Here, I will let you find your way...

Sound better! I pulled the tea to my lips, and just when I was about to sip from it, her voice came up again to remind me of the one person, I want to forget about.

Padgett! Did you know that Cameron is in the same school as you?

What? I yelled bursting out the tea before I could even take it down to my throat.

Hey easy dear! You should be careful and try to contact him, you wouldn't want to give him the shock of his life, after going MIA for three years, it will not be fair for you two to meet in school like some...

That's enough, I better go. I dragged my bag, move it on my shoulder, placed a soft peck on my mother's neck then off I goes, I could hear her giddy with my silly act.

She is all that I got, the one woman who had worked so hard just to make sure, I have a bright future, this is the least I could do for her, transfer to a new school because she got a new job, the past three years, this is all we do, move from one place to another because she is a nurse. Even if I had to always leave my friends behind, I want to make her happy, I realized she is struggling to always foot my bills, so I decided to apply for a scholarship, and fortunately for me, I got one, Into the prestigious high school of country A. But the truth is, I couldn't say, I am fortunate, it happens to be the same school where, my number one crush is, Cameron Adrian, my childhood friend, the son of my mother's ex-boss, the city's richest man heir, the one boy, I couldn't stop blushing over, whenever I heard his name but the truth is, he is way out of my league, will he still remember me? If we meet, will I still be his best friend or I am just going to be the girl from his past? He might probably not recognize me.
