The Alpha's Academy

I reloaded my email logging out and logging in to be sure that this was not some mistake. But it appeared unchanged after I reloaded it for the third time." ...You have been offered a full-time scholarship to Renkeda University for..." the contents of the mail read . " oh my! I am so happy for you Zarah!" Aunt Rose exclaimed hugging me from behind I did not hear her come in and I jumped when she exclaimed startled by her actions. I was happy yet confused I did not understand why an Ivy league school would give me a full-time scholarship when I had never applied to any of their programs. Forgive my manners Aunt Rose would always say I lack prioritization skills and at this point, I would agree with her just this one time. My name is Zarah which I am sure you figured out already I am 18 years old and live with my aunt Rose. My parents died when I was 2 years old Aunt Rose is the only family I know and she took me in as her daughter having no family of her own. Aunty Rose was kind but intense and fierce I still remember when I was little and would play with the wild rose bushes she had always warned me about I would come back with injuries she would scold me fiercely while attending to my wounds. I also noticed something about her she only spoke when spoken to and would often be found lost in her thoughts. whenever I tried to ask her about my family or my parents she would only say" they were lovely" which did nothing to satisfy my curiosity. And when I asked how they had died she only ever explained in a word" a terrible accident" she would say with glazed eyes. When she wouldn't answer my questions I stopped asking cause she only ever left me confused and more curious. From the mail, I received yesterday I had a week to prepare. Aunt Rose and I went shopping for most of my things together even though she was quiet most times like when I went shopping for lingerie she had a weird look on her face which gave me quite a laugh. The second day we went out to eat and get some seedlings for Aunt Rose's farm. She had a huge garden behind the house and planted all sorts of plants flowers at the back heck there's even a giant tree at the back of the house. I remember any time I would get sick she would get some plants from her garden mash them and give me to drink it usually tasted awful but worked fast. She would sell freshly cut flowers to the florist shop whenever they bloomed. I mumbled some incoherent words to whoever it was that was tugging me I just wanted to sleep in peace," go away" I said sleepily eyes still close pulling my pillow back to me. The tugging stopped and I relaxed some more almost immediately I felt a sharp sensation on my back and I woke with a start, " what was that for ?" I asked sitting up with a scowl on my face to find Aunt Rose the perpetrator by the door looking at me with a scowl equally on her face shutting the door behind her as soon as she saw I was getting up. And then it came to me today is the day I leave for University I quickly rushed to the shower grabbing my towel. I had packed my bags the night before, Aunty Rose had scolded me all night on how lazy I was, not that she needed to remind me heck! even I know I am lazy( well sometimes). I had finished packing my bags at almost 1 am I hated packing especially packing a week before which was what Aunt Rose had suggested. I picked my outfit high waist denim and a white crop top I didn't want to be the newbie everyone would remember on her first day especially at a prestigious school like Rankeda University.
