Part 1 – A Fresh Start
I woke up to the sound of my phone alarm. I glanced at the clock — it was 5 AM. I got up, made my bed, smiled at myself in the mirror, and after washing my hands and face, I put on my workout clothes.
By 5:30, I left the house. The Chicago air was amazing. A light rain had soaked the streets, filling them with the smell of freshness. I took a deep breath and started walking. There was something magical about strolling in that lovely weather — I couldn't stop smiling.
At 6:30, I got back home, took a shower, and put on a T-shirt and a short skirt. I did a simple makeup look, ate my breakfast — delicious pancakes — grabbed my bag, and slipped on my new sneakers from a well-known brand. They were super comfortable. I've always had a soft spot for sporty style.
At 8:30, I headed out again. Since the university was close by, I walked there.
When I arrived, I greeted the security guard and stepped onto the campus.
The whole place was full of energy.
I walked into the classroom and saw the others chatting with each other. I waved at my friends and went straight to Lucy.
I hugged her and sat down next to her.
Lucy is my closest friend. She's one year older than me — she's 20 — kind-hearted, emotional, and always gives her all when it comes to studying.
