VOGUE
Shrugging off the weight of my backpack and placing the small shopping
bag onto the kitchen counter as the door clicks shut behind me, I look
around the small studio flat that I will now call home for the next two years.
The walls are bare, the carpet a faded beige that’s seen better days, but it’s
mine, and it’s close to the campus of the prestigious Crestmont University,
where I’m studying for my postgraduate degree in Business. Dropping the
handle of my heavy suitcase-on-wheels that I’ve just lugged up a flight of
stairs, which fits in almost everything I can wear or that I cherish, I huff and
look around, ready to make this space work.
“Home sweet home,” I murmur, rolling up my sleeves. Not one to
procrastinate, I tie up my dark hair into a messy bun and get to work right
away, pulling out my clothes and books, little knick knacks that have
sentimental value and find them new homes on shelves and in drawers.
Every photo I arrange on the nightstand carves out a piece of comfort in this
tiny box of a flat.
When I finish what I can, it feels less like a flat and more like Vogue
Jameson’s corner of the world. Smiling, I flop down on the saggy twoseater couch and catch my breath, glancing at the double bed I have yet to
tackle. My fresh duvet and pillows are scheduled to arrive anytime now,
which was a splurge that was expensive but necessary, but at least I bought
a set of covers from home to throw on.
My phone vibrates on the small kitchen counter, slicing through the
silence, and I jump up to get it. ‘Mum’ flashes on the screen, and I smile as
I swipe to answer.
“Hi, Mum.”
“Vogue, darling. How’s the flat?” Her voice is a warm hug through the
speaker.
“Small, but it’s alright. Got everything put away.”
“Good going! Remember, you’ve got strength in you, enough to tackle
anything they throw at you.” Her cryptic comment throws me slightly, but I
roll with it.
“Thanks, Mum. I won’t forget.” Her sacrifices are etched deep into who
I am, and I won’t ever forget that.
“Love you, Vogue. We’ll speak soon.”
“Love you too, Mum.” I hang up and set the phone aside, a renewed
sense of purpose pulsing through me.
Deciding to get a jump on tomorrow while I wait for my bedding to
arrive, I unpack the shopping bag, pulling out a loaf of bread, cheese, a
small carton of milk, two apples, tea, butter, a roll of cheap-ass tin foil and a
six-pack of crisps which is all I could carry and will have to see me through
until I can get back to the shop tomorrow.
Methodically, I assemble a
sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch, wrapping it neatly in tin foil and placing it
back in the shopping bag with an apple. Then, I stick two pieces of bread in
the toaster and put the kettle on for a cuppa.
