Hope

[Ollie]

After a day or two full of frantically attempting to contact Cody, I managed to find him at the art gallery.


"Jeez, you put on weight," The first words to come out of his mouth reminded me of food. Speaking of food, I'm getting quite the craving for chocolate, and mmm, biscuits and cheese. I need food, god damn these devilish pregnancy cravings.
"What a lovely thing to say," I replied. "No I'm not fat, I'm pregnant." I accidentally blurted out loud.
"P... P... Pregnant?" at first Cody couldn't comprehend the situation but it soon sunk in. "Are you sure it's mine?"
I could tell he wasn't ready for this. His face was as white as a ghost.
"Yep, I'm 100% sure that it's yours."
"I... I got to go to work." Cody then ran off into the sunset.


While going the hospital to have a check-up, I experienced the worst pain imaginable.


I could see people crowding around saying things like, "OMG, someone help this woman."
Thankfully someone helped me in to the hospital before I gave birth.


Welcome home Ms. Cherry Hope (me and Cody debated on the last name but the fact my surname had a meaning behind it convinced him to come over to the dark side).




Oh and yes, after some discussion, Cody finally decided that it's his child too, so he moved in.




I know it seemed a bit early but I really didn't want my baby girl thinking of her mother as some low-life criminal, in the same way I grew up thinking of my parents as poor low-life's that have to go dumpster diving to earn a living, Disgusting. There was no way I was going to let those thoughts hit Cherry, I needed to do something with my life and I was going to start at University.




I decided to go for a life in the Sports career, so of course I chose Physical Education as my study choice. It was hard saying good-bye to Cherry and Cody but I had to go.




On my way to campus /I thought over many things; the time my dad took my to the gym, my many successful and unsuccessful pranks I pulled, the moment the police came to the door to inform me of the death of my father, what I would be doing now if both my parents were alive. I tried keep the past behind me and start over. No more thoughts to bring me down, just the road ahead.




A couple of hours of thinking passed and I arrived at my new home for the next term.




I made it clear to my roomies that the death trap was mine for the term.




After a short period of time settling in, I went out to the meet and greet.




After taking all the freebies that I could, I played a bit of juice pong.




A day passed and it was time for my very first University class!




After class I fiddled with my free study skeleton.




University was going great so far, bowling was an awesome past-time activity!




Days and classes continued to pass on as usual but soon I finally got my first lecture filled with taking notes and shoving my hand up as high as possible (because you know, the higher the hand the more likely that the teacher will pick you).




After another night it was time for exams!




Woohoo! I passed with flying colours (I totally didn't cheat through the most of it).




Over the weekend someone decided to leave their meal cooking in the kitchen and forgot about it.


Thankfully, the firefighters managed to put the fire out before it got out of control.


Seeing as everyone appeared to be holding parties, I decided to host one too. It was a large bonfire party (the best kind), although herbs were continuously added to the fire.




I had quite the fun time streaking, just letting everything fly free felt amazing!




Before I knew it another week passed and I was on to another set of final exams.




I was pleasantly surprised when I passed the term with a B. It wasn't the best, but it was better than high school, in which I kept receiving D's.




It was time to go home and check up on Cherry and Cody, ta ta University, see you very, very soon.
