I dressed in a feminine graphic t-shirt, ripped jeans, and sneakers, aiming for an effortless look. I tried hard to conceal my wealthy appearance, aware of the significant social class gap between myself and Ana. I didn't want to mingle with girls from my social class, finding them too sassy, like Rose. So, I hid the truth about my family's social standing.
Mr. Ray drove me to Aim High University for a fresh start. As we approached the college, I asked him to stop.
"Why? We haven't arrived yet," he said, confused. I got out of the car, and he expressed concern about the impending downpour, offering me an umbrella "Take this"
I reassured him I'd be fine and pointed out the nearby school building "It's okay. My school is over there"
For a moment, I missed my parents. They'd have drove me to school for a new beginning. As I walked, the rain started drizzling, and I hid under a shop's awning. I checked my phone and saw "8:55am"
