814
The envelope felt heavier than it should've
I stared at it like it might explode if I opened it wrong. My name was printed across the front in bold letters, the logo of Dresden Heights University etched in a faint gold at the top right corner
Even the envelope looked expensive
Ari bounced beside me, practically vibrating with excitement
I peeled back the flap, slow and cautious like the paper might bite me
Inside was a single sheet, for a second I couldn't read anything. The numbers blurred. The words meant nothing
Ari
Wait is that...is that your score?
I nodded slowly, my voice caught somewhere between shock and disbelief
I flinched as she launched herself across the bed and hugged me so hard it knocked the paper from my hands. My mom gasped and then she was crying. My father, ever the stoic man, crossed his arms but his jaw tightened, and his eyes-he never cried- but they softened
Stephen/Maya's Father
My girl, you did it
Not through money, connections. Not through someone pulling strings behind closed doors. Just me and the number 814
Maya/FL
No way we have plenty of time
Stephen/Maya's Father
Actually you don't, you are required to report next week
Maya/FL
But I thought Dresden students were to report one month after admission
Stephen/Maya's Father
I guess you're just a special case. With a score like that I'm sure they just can't wait to have you
Anna/Maya's Mother
That doesn't matter right now dear just focus on how much fun you will have going to an elite college, making new friends, seeing new boys
Ari lit up when Mom mentioned boys
Anna/Maya's Mother
Remember that guy she was crushing on in high school?
Stephen/Maya's Father
Oh right that golden boy 𝘓𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯
Mom hit my Dad with a death glare
Stephen/Maya's Father
I will just get started on lunch
And just like that I made a mental note to never tell my mother secrets again.
I still couldn't believe I made it to 𝘵𝘩𝘦 Dresden Heights University
Something tells me this wasn't just a simple acceptance to a prestigious University, this was the beginning of something bigger
