How It All Started
ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO
GWENETH
I kept on tossing and turning in bed. Sleep eluding me. It proves so difficult to just shut my eyes and pretend to sleep even for a mere second because my brain is intensely clinging to the fact that I will be attending one of the best schools in the country a few hours from now.
I giggle silly to myself and kick my legs up in the air excitedly and kicking my blanket off in the process. The night cold seeping through my skin only adds to my joy.
That was not enough. I stand on my bed and jump up, I put my hands over my mouth so I would not scream out loud and disturb all the others that must soundly asleep. I stop after a few jumps because my bed is starting to make creaking noises. The excitement coursing through my veins is also blending with an undercurrent of fear and nervousness.
It is almost too much to contain. The fear and nervousness surpasses the excitement when I have a thought.
