EMMA’s POV :
--- Eight Months Later--- -
"To the last finals week ever!"
I exclaimed and raised my glass.
"I'll never have to see another Calculus textbook ever again!"
Sophie chimed in, raising hers too.
"Four years of sleepless nights and anxiety over student debt, and now we get to do it all again, except with a job instead of school,"
Tristan added and we burst out laughing.
Sophie, Tristan, and I were celebrating the last finals week of our college career.
The three of us and Elliott went to this fancy Italian restaurant and ordered one of their most expensive bottles of wine.
Why? Because we freaking deserved it, that's why.
We had been slaving our asses off for the last four years, and this week was the end of all that.
"I don’t remember being this happy graduating from university,"
Elliott chuckled and watched us merrily downed our drinks.
"Once you start working, you're going to wish you're still back in school,"
"That's what a lot of people say, but I’m just tired of learning, you know?"
Sophie replied.
"I'm ready to get out there and do something real for a change,"
"Hear, hear,"
Tristan raised his glass again.
"Yeah, me too,"
I agreed.
"I’m kinda over school.I’m tired of being a student,"
"Ah, school,"
Elliott nodded and sighed, "Students hate it, and us teachers hate it too.How could it last for so long? Who knows,"he shrugged and we laughed.
This was a big week for me, the last week of me being a student.
What an interesting word.
Student.
School.
Teacher.
He hasn't been my teacher for years, but every time the word comes up, all I could think of him was him.
"So, what are your plans after graduation?"
Elliott asked the group.
"I'm thinking Chicago or New York, but I might be persuaded to stay in Philly if there’s a good offer,"
Sophie answered.
"I'm keeping my options open,"
Tristan said.
"I applied everywhere, but I’m really into the Times or the San Francisco Chronicle.If I could get a shot out there, that'd be amazing,"
"And you, love?"
Elliott asked me.
"Well, I've been applying to places, but so far I haven't heard from any"
* RING * RING * RING * My words were suddenly cut short by the sudden ringing of my phone.
I picked it up quickly and muttered, "Sorry..."
I was about to hit the reject button, when I noticed that it was a 212 number calling me.212 was the area code for Manhattan.Who could possibly be calling me from Manhattan? Oh, wait a minute...
"Guys, it's a New York number,"
I said, pausing for a second before getting up and leaving the table.
"Excuse me for a second,"
Making my way through the row of tables, I quickly stepped outside the restaurant and picked up the phone before it stopped ringing.
"Hello?"
I pressed the phone tightly to my ears.
"Hi, is this Emma Sinclair?"a woman's voice spoke.
"Yes, this is she,"
"Hi, Emma.
I’m Margaret, and I’m calling on behalf of David Haskell from the New York Magazine,"
Margaret's voice was calm and clear, but the moment I heard the words ‘New York Magazine’, I almost dropped my phone in shock.
"Oh, hey, hi, yes,"
I stammered nervously.
"David's seen your resume and he’s heard great things about you from your professor.
