All I Wanted
Chapter 1

"Jane!!" My dad's voice calls from the hallway. I open my eyes while yawning so loud. I picked up my phone from the little table beside my tiny bed to check the time; the light from the phone made my eyes close immediately. My eyes adapt to the light in no time, and it is just 6 am. I groaned. "Jane, hurry up; you don't want to be late," he yells

"I'm awake already," I groaned.

Hi, I'm Jane, and my life is quite complicated. I will resume at California State University today, and my dad is excited about it. He wants me to be a doctor, but that's a tedious job. Before I lost my mum, she used to teach me some dance moves, and I grew to be the natural that I am right now. My dad hates it; he hates dancers. He's a religious man, so he calls it a waste of time.

Even though I'm not interested in this "course" of mine, I still have to be prepared.

"Good morning, Dad," I say as I approach the dining room. I can already smell the aroma of roast chicken, and my tummy wants to consume everything at this point.

"Good morning, my jewel," He says as he kisses my forehead

"I can't believe you've grown already; it's all like a dream, and today you'll be miles away from me." he's getting emotional now.

"You'll be fine, Dad," he's trying to hide his tears now.

My dad gets emotional most times, but he'

s as tough as a rock and as stubborn as a goat.

"I made roast chicken," he says as he brings out the yummy little chicken from the oven

"Be careful, it's still ho.." he raises his head to see me taking a big bite out of the meal already. He chuckled.

"I'll miss you," he says while smiling

"I'll miss you too, Dad."

After breakfast, I went to my room to bathe since that would be the only thing I'd be doing. I arranged my outfits already, and I didn't feel slightly nervous.

As soon as the hot water touches my skin, my body relaxes under the shower as I run my fingers through my hair and shave my armpit. I might as well set a reminder on my phone to remind me to buy some wax.

I tie the towel around my waist and leave the bathroom; I don't have much time left. I hurriedly dry my air, and wear my clothes, an off-shoulder top, and a high-waisted blue jean. I put on my lucky bracelet, which my mother gave me. "Jane!!" Dad yells again

"I'm coming," I yell back

"Take care, dear, and are you sure you don't need me to escort you?"

"That won't be necessary, Dad, and I don't want to stress you," I say.

He helps me to put my luggage in the booth of my car and kisses me on my forehead.

"Jane?"

"Yeah?"

"Focus," he says

I enter my car and start to drive; I can still see my dad watching my car. Well... he'll be fine.
