Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)
Chapter 55: Acceptance Rate
EMMA’s POV :
It was mid April and spring was in the air.
It had been two months since lan and I broke up and...there was nothing much I could say about that.We still tan into each other every now and then around the school.We'd give polite smiles or nods, but that was about it.My heart still ached every time I walked past him or heard his voice.My friends said things will get better in time, and I realized that two months weren't enough time.
I still wondered about him daily.I wondered if he thought of me just as much.If he did, he wasn’t showing it.I buried all my energy and time by hanging out with friends, family, working, and doing extracurricular activities.If I wasn't in cheer practice or swim meets, I would spend my time hanging out with Tiff and Carrie at the mall or working on the community garden with Tyler.I had dinner with my family almost every day of the week.After the accident, mom and I couldn't be closer.Dad never said one word to me about the pregnancy, he was never a man of many words.
Plus, mom had probably filled him in on everything.They kept a close watch on me, though.I was never officially grounded, but if it wasn’t school related or best friends’ related activities, I would allow was never officially grounded, but if it wasn't school related or best friends’ related activities, I would allow myself out.
On weekends, I still picked up same shifts at the diner.
Iwas saving up good money and I was still excited about college.
Only two more months left for school and I couldn't wait for it to be over.
Sure, leaving this town and all my friends behind would suck, but there was so much pain that I had endured this past few months that leaving town sounded like the best way out.
It was Saturday morning, and I still had a few hours before my shift at the diner.I was lounging on the couch casually with the TV on.Mom and dad were in the kitchen.I was checking through my phone when I noticed an email from the admissions office of U Penn.The subject read: Admission Decision from the University of Pennsylvania.
"Mom! Dad!"I yelled after them.
With shaky hands, I clicked the email and the letter unfolded on the screen.I couldn’! believe what I was seeing and my breath was stuck in my throat.
"Honey? What is it?"mom and dad entered the living
"Hey! “I yelled.
"He jokes about this now, we've reached that point,"mom waved her hand and laughed, "So, what did it say?"
"Mom, dad, you are looking at a full ride scholarship recipient to the University of Pennsylvania!"
I exclaimed with my hands in the air. Mom and dad were shocked.
They couldn't speak of move for a second, it was like they were trying to take it all in.
"Me, I’m talking about me!"I said again.
"Oh my god, you got in?* mom said finally, her voice came out breathlessly.
"Yes! Full ride scholarship!"
I repeated it again.
"Oh my god! Bill! Oh my god!"mom finally understood what was going on.
She pulled me into a hug and we Started jumping up and down in excitement.
Meanwhile, dad was just staring at us with his jaw on the "i'm gonna go to an Ivy League school! With a full scholarship!"
I squealed into my mom's chest "Oh, honey, I'm so proud of you,"mom was holding back her tears as she cupped my face with both her hands.
"I knew you could do it.We're so, so proud,"
I smiled and nodded into her hands.
On the corner of my eye, I noticed dad standing behind her and he was wiping tears away from his face.
Dad was never the emotional type and to see him cry tears of joy for me, that just made my whole year.
