Chapter 11

Phillip' s P.O.V

Just the thought of being in my parents house without Jessica was killing me. I didn't have my little sister to talk to anymore. I couldn't wait to move out. I was sitting at the dinner table with mom and dad. They were speaking about me applying for college. " Why don' t you apply for Sandford or Harvard?", mom asked placing some of the salad at the side of my plate. " Yes i have.", i replied. " And?", dad asked. Oh boy. " Ah. I don' t want to go to either of them. I was thinking of applying to MIT.", I managed to say. I heard when mom dropped her fork. " No. You will do no such thing Phillip.", mom said. " Mom its my choice. I know you think you know what' s best for me but, I've always wanted to go there. I already applied for there and got accepted.", i said confidently. They looked at me surprised. " Well then congratulations. If that's where you want to go then we can't stop you.", mom said kind of smiling. " Thanks mom", I replied. I knew my dad wanted me to go to Harvard. That's where he went. But I have different dreams from him. I can' t chase after his. I have to create my own. And besides its my life.
