Not what I thought.

Rose pov.

The first day at the university went on just like that. Nothing much really happened apart from introduction and rather doing some self introduction like getting many friends .

But what I kept in mind is the fact that I am called for some party. I am in for it no matter what. Checking through the clothes, I don't see anything that is suitable for the party. 

I think that I need to to go and do some shopping for this party. Can you imagine having a a party on a Tuesday. But then this is not high school but campus so every thing here changes completely.

"Hello " Layla answers as soon as my phone goes through.

"Hello baby girl" I reply . "I want a partner in my shopping this afternoon, I have a party that I will be attending" I add.

She sighs for some time before answering.

"O-okay" but it comes from far.ooh I remember she told me she is from a family that is not well and therefore she might be thinking of again having to spend . Therefore I have to make this care to her so that she can be comfortable.

"Bill on me " I suggest.

"You don't need to " she tells me but me being me, I manage to convince her and she allows eventually.

So I am left with about one hour before she comes as we had agreed to do. I decide to prepare my self something to eat and then resort to watching a random TV channel kind of bored. I am not used of staying in a house all my myself ..I seem to be bored bit don't know what to do about it...I think I will be getting used to this so soon , no doubt I think.

***

I am awoken by the ring of the door bell and that is when I realise that I have been sleeping all this time. Inside of watching the TV, it was instead watching me ...how funny.

I just know it is Lalya and I get whatever I am supposed to get heading for the door to meet her downstairs to the mall. It is  A ten minute walk a wag so we decide not to take a cab and instead just move there .

"How are you coping up with campus life ?" I ask her out of the blue.

"Fine..fine, but my roommate" that is how she answers with some sort of annoyance in her tone.

"What about your roommate?" I ask. "What has she done to you ?" I add concerned about her though we have known each other for only three days and a half now.

"She is always bringing guys ..and to make matters worse, a different one each time. " she finishs.Poor girl, a pity her a lot. How on earth can you sleep almost in the same room with your roommate being fucked ..but I won't lie you the idea of being fucked by a different guy each night makes me feel moist in between my legs ...I am a real pervert for sure .

" so what are you going to do about it ?" I ask her.

" nothing " she answers. Poor girl, she is some kind of girl who is so committed to her studies and all she wants is to make sure that she gets a first class degree and that is when she will think about maybe getting into men..holy Mary.

" okay, let us talk about something else" she suggests maybe tiref of feeling sorry for her. 

"So are you I'm for this party tomorrow?" I ask her though I already know what her reply is going to be .

"Party ..or no," is all she says and I am least surprised.

"Just go with me, I am going to protect you " I tell her and I feel like laughing at myself by my choose of wordsike Protection.

"I just can't " she persists.

"Please !!" Plead with her at least with hope of being with some one at the party whom I know and not act like a stray dog who doesn't know where the hell to find the owner.

We continue talking as we short. I get a dress, heels, a bag , a crop top and a purse for self and then get two dresses for layla. But making her allow then was not a simple task but in the long run I am Able to even convince her to go to the party with me.

By the time I get back to my house .it is Almost 5:00pm..how ridiculous, we took almost four hours shopping.

As soon as I settle on the couch, I get an incoming phone call. Who could be calling me at this time. I wonder as I look for my phone from my small cross bag that I went with for shopping.

Damn it ... It is mom, I have not ed her the last three days, not that I didn't care but was just kind of occupied into adopting the new environment that I couldn't think of anything else however much.

" Hello ,mom " I greet her and I definitely know that I am going to get a lecture from her.

" So, you gave up and didn't even think of calling your own parents " she begins and I sigh.

"No...

I am cut off when she says.

" The too much shopping you did today ,what was it for " I nearly chop on nothing particular. How did she even know that I spent anot 5000usd on those clothes...I am doomed.

"Are you even thinking about your books" she continues.

"I called to tell you that your cards are all cancelled and it will always be me to decide when to give you money " she finally says.

By this time, I am lost for words and don't know what to do at the moment. For the first time in my life , I hang on my mom without even minding what she could do next.

Why can't this woman get it in her head that I am grown up and independent and therefore I should be doing what ever I feel like I want. She is simply a control freak!!?

She did all she could to ruin each and every friend that I had in highschool and she also wants to ruin every thing here..no no, I am not allowing this this time.

That night, I sleep knowing the fact that I have oy 1000dollars in my whole life and I will b surviving on that until by real mom deceides when to give me else.

She claims it is a good upbringing ...how ridiculous this is .

After toasting in bed over and over , only one solution comes into head.
