I'm Bella. Last week I shifted to Chicago from California. That's my first time in Chicago. In California, I lived with my mom. I applied to the University of Chicago. When I told Mom about that, she was very angry. Like very very angry.

The first week she didn't talk to me. It took one whole month to convince her. And finally, she agreed. But she gave me some conditions and I have to follow them. Otherwise, I couldn't move to  Chicago.

So, now I'm in Chicago. Here I'm all alone. I don't know anything about this area. That's why Mom wanted to come with me but I told her not to. Now I'm staying in a small apartment. It's my mom's apartment. She spent her childhood here. It feels amazing to be here. I can spend my time where my mom grew up. I feel nostalgic about thinking that. I never dreamed about these things. Like moving away from mom, and living all alone. I never spend a night without Mom. She was always with me. Never feel lonely because of her. Missing mom. I feel like I have become so grown up. Living all alone. Looking for myself. Learning about new things. It's exciting though.

Two days later, my class gonna start. I'm very excited about my new environment. Mom never permitted me to stay over in my friend's house. And here I am. In Chicago all alone  Mom always told me some crazy stuff, like somebody wanted or would harm me or would kidnap me. That's why she never permitted me to hang out with my friends. And I never argued with her about this matter, why she thinks something like that. She's overprotective I know. And I love her.

I'm always mom's girl. So I didn't ask her anything about that. I know, she always does what's best for me. I never doubted her decision. She is one of the best mom and best friend. I'm so grateful to god for giving me a mom like her.

So, today is the first day of the university and I'm very excited to meet new people. Last night I couldn't fall asleep. I got up at 7 in the morning. Then take a shower and make some breakfast.

I'm wearing black pants, baby blue tops and sneakers. I have long hair. It feels better to keep the hair open. Oh Man!!!!! I love my hair very much😌. I'm applying some makeup. I don't like a cake face.

Whatever I'm done with my makeup and everything. Now It's time to leave. Grabbing my backpack, locked the door behind me.

I'm going to start a new journey. I hope it ends beautifully in the end. Always hope for the best.

Now the journey has started. Or I will say the journey is on fire. 😉

Now I'm standing in my varsity gate. It took 30 mins to reach here. I'm feeling so nervous. Oww shoot!!!, It hurts to tell what I'm feeling. I don't know, some strange feeling. Let's forget everything. Take a deep breath, Bella. Mmmm in and out, in and out. Okay, I can do it. Let's go.

My department is literature. The classroom number was given on the noticeboard, I didn't have much trouble finding the classroom. my classroom is on the third floor 335 no room. the class will start at 9 am, now it's 8:45 am. and my all classes will end at 3 pm. There will be a break for about an hour. During the break, I have to search the library.

Class time is over. I didn't even realize it all ended so quickly. now it's about break time. After that, I have to collect some information. Then I will be done with my first day at uni.

On the way home, I have to buy some snacks. Now it's 2:50 pm. My class will finish in 10 min. I'm so tired.

Finally, the class is over.

I'm home. I have no energy left. God, I'm so tired. I want to sleep. But I can't. I have to call mom. And I have to study little a bit. What a hectic day!

It's time to call mom. I haven't heard anything from mom the whole day.

"Mom, how are you? Are you okay? Did you eat your dinner?"

"I'm perfectly fine baby girl. Yes, baby, I  ate my dinner. How about you? Did you eat dinner baby? How's your day?"

"My day was good Mom. No, I haven't eaten. I ordered food, it would come in 15 min. I'm missing you, Mom"

"I'm missing you too my baby "

" Mom I think the food comes. I will call you later Mom. Love you, bye"

" Love you too honey. Take care bye."

I end the call and then get up to open the gate. The delivery man handed over my pizza and took the money.

OHMYGOD the pizza is so yummy and delicious. I ate the whole pizza. Now I can't even move my body.

Awww!!!finally, I'm in my bed. I have to sleep early so that I can get up early. But the problem is I can't sleep early. Before sleep, I have to find a gym near my house. I found a gym. It's not so far and not so near. I have to go tomorrow morning to register. Tomorrow I will finally be able to go to the gym. I couldn’t do the gym after coming here. Lots of work tomorrow. Household items need to be kept in the right place. The books have to be taken out of the box and put on the bookshelf.

Now it's sleep time. But I can't sleep until I read some books. Yup, I know it’s my bad habit. My mom always scolds me for this.

It's going to be a pain in the *** for my whole university life. But nothing to do.

The next few weeks went by very busy. Do some shopping along with tidying up the house.

I have met many people in varsity. I have also made some new friends. They are so good. I have never had such a good friend in my life. In a few days, they have made me very close to them.

So far my only friend is my mom. I didn't have any good friends except mom. I didn't even need it then. In everything I got Mom.

I thought I would not be able to adapt to the new environment but they have made me so close to them that now this place and people no longer seem unfamiliar.

I don't know what would have happened to me without them. I can't mix with anyone easily but once they blend in, they become very close to me. Coming to a new place, I don't feel alone at all for them. They are always with me.

If you see them, no one will say they have known me for only a few weeks. You will think they are my childhood friends.

Everyone on campus says a lot about us. We all make fun of it. The funniest thing about our group is that we are all single. Maybe that's why we are such good friends.

I now spend the whole week in class and hanging out with them. Every weekend we go to the club or watch a movie together.

Mom doesn't know about my hangout. If she knows, she will not let me stay here even for a moment.

I am spending the most beautiful days of my life. I have never had so much fun in my life. Everything is happening for the first time. Right now I'm the happiest person on earth.

Our favourite hangout place is my home. I don't know why they liked my house so much.

shit, I'm so late to wake up. It's 9 o'clock. Classes start at nine o'clock. How could I sleep for so long? I didn't hear the alarm ring. There is no time for breakfast today.

I talked to them till midnight yesterday and then went to sleep.

After finishing everything, I took the key chain and left the apartment

I locked the door and got down quickly and hit something very hard. I thought I would fall. I closed my eyes tightly in preparation for the pain. Even after a few seconds, I did not touch the floor. I opened my eyes and saw a handsome young man holding me.

I have never seen such a beautiful young man before. I looked into his blue eyes as if I was lost somewhere.

I came back to reality with his words. At first, I didn't understand what he was saying. His words were coming to my ears so beautifully. I'm just staring at him.

The second time he spoke, I realized what he was saying to me. I returned to my senses. I hurried away from his arms and straightened up.

This is the first time I have seen a boy so closely. My cheeks turned red with embarrassment at the thought of what state I had been in. I can't look up at him anymore.
