Possibilities

Have you ever wanted to get away from everything? Start a new life somewhere? Just be someone else?

No?

Me neither.

However, this move was not my choice , even so , I'm going to make the best of it, or at least try . I woke up a little earlier than usual , I wanted to look my best today.

I decided on burgundy heels , a nude skirt , and a burgundy and nude chequered style shirt which was kinda baggy but I made it work. I curled my hair and kept my makeup cute and simple. This outfit is perfect for school and I can pop by  Dad's  office.

I've got so many mixed emotions  about today , I'm not sure how to feel honestly.

I had a really  quick breakfast and headed out the house , our driver Tyler , on my tail, he will be driving me to and from school every day unless I choose otherwise .

Tyler is pretty young , he looks about 24 maybe 25 , I'm not sure .  He is quite attractive, don't  judge me , I can appreciate  a good looking male from time to time , I am allowed to. It's  not like I'm going to jump his bones or something.

"You nervous cupcake?" Tyler asked , with that signature smirk adorning his face.

So yeah he calls me cupcake,  I don't know why , I dont mind , we're  pretty close.

"A little , I  don't really know what to expect,  it's a whole new start for me  that's a little scary , maybe even overwhelming" I say , rambling a little  .

"You're  going to be fine , no one can resist your charm,  you'll  have them wrapped around your pinky by the end of the day" he says , sending me a reassuring smile.

I felt a little better afterwards, the rest of the drive was spent with us singing  along to catchy  songs and making small talk. I must admit , I did feel a lot more at ease.

Shortly after we arrived in the school parking lot. Tyler opened the door  for me and offered me his hand, I took it and he squeezed mine a little in a reassuring way.  I looked to my right and saw Hunter , my personal bodyguard,  I don't know why he's here , dad probably instructed him to stay with me.

They both walked me in and stayed with me until all the paperwork was complete and they both had a copy of my schedule.  Crazy, right? However I've learnt to not question  these things anymore I've just grown accustomed  to the security and realised everything  is for my own good.

Tyler gave me a nod and reassuring  smile once again , he's  been doing that a lot today, and thereafter said goodbye and wished me well. Hunter just remained silent and  kept a close eye on Tyler's  interaction with me. I rolled my eyes and continued on.

I got to home room , met everyone.
There really isn't much to say about it. Everyone  is , well, they're just there.

I went through the first few periods, without anything memorable  happening,  I got to math ,and met a quirky girl named Lilly , she seemed nice , maybe we'll  be friends.

By the end of the day , I'd  had enough of the stares , the whispering,  the flirty smiles from guys and girls. I'd just had enough , Tyler  had texted me letting me know he was waiting , I was all too eager to leave . Hunter in tow as always. I mean  if he could come into the womans room , he would.

Tyler opened the door for me , and offered me his hand , I got in as graceful as I could. I was exhausted  however, I had to go to Dad's  office. He wanted to go through some figures with me.

Why?

Oh because  he's basically been training me my whole life to make money on my own , and be completely  independent. He has always wanted that for me.

Eventually  it became my own dream to have an empire of my own.

I guess it grew  on me.

We arrived at the office , and I'm not going to lie , I was impressed. Is everything here just bigger?

I walked into the building , Hunter  by my side, silent , as always. The receptionist asked what I was there for , rather rudely.  I just gave her my last name.  She quickly apologized  and let  me up.

Dad's  office was the highest floor, yay my fear of heights is so excited right now.

The elevator finally  stopped. I stepped out and onto the marble floors,  I noticed the receptionist,  she smiled politely at me.

At last! Someone friendly.

She showed me the way to my father's office, I had to wait outside because  he was in a meeting. 

I busied myself with my cellphone, soon after I heard voices , and no they were not in my head. Dad walked up to me and place a chaste kiss to my cheek before holding open the door to his office.

I walked in , and so it began , the numbers , the business jargon,  all  things time consuming, before we knew it, it was dark and we were headed home , Dad had sent Tyler  home , and so I was riding with him.

Once we got home , dinner was prepared , and believe  me , I was ever so grateful . I truly was famished.

Dinner went by pleasantly, then Dad brought up a work thing he has coming up that we all have to be at , it's a charity event. A gala of sorts. I don't care for all the fancy dresses and talk with business  men , mom  and I  parading around with Dad , like his entourage. 

It's  tiring,  it's boring , and I'm anti-social  as hell.

However I faked a smile and told my father how excited I was for it, completely  lying  through my teeth, oh the things we do for family.

I guess I have to get something to wear , at least Tyler and I have something to do this weekend.

Dad continuously  spoke about a steel manufacturing company  that he wants to partner with for an upcoming  project , he says the CEO and Founder will be at the gala thing. After all the business talk, I was bored of the conversation  , I didn't stay to hear more about the company , their statistics  , or anything  else, Dad seemed happy  about his new partnership  , he most certainly  does not need my opinion any longer. I excused myself as politely as I could , and headed to my room .

I took the longest shower and then a bath to follow that , after my unnecessarily long bathroom saga , I  was worn out , I locked my bedroom door, pulled out my diary  and jotted down the day's  events.

Dear Diary
I'm exhausted beyond words,  today was such a long day , I went to school here for the first time , I guess it was okay , same story , annoying teachers , whiny students, nothing different  , nothing authentic. Dad mentioned a gala , he wants us all to attend  , I don't want to , but of course , I'll  have no choice , it's  his work , I just have to suck it up. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

Yours truly
Renesmeè

I put my diary back in its hiding spot,  and as soon as my head hit the pillow , I was out like a light
