Sophie being a straight-A student is fretting about her chances to get into an Ivy League College. She selected Chemistry for her major. Her love for organic chemistry shocks me to date. I applied to top colleges for interior design. I hope I get selected.
Ryan and Leslie already got their acceptance letters from Caltech. Ryan chose Civil Engineering following Jason's footsteps, and Leslie chose English. Fate played cupid for the lovebirds getting them to the same college.
Ben wants to take a year off as he is still unsure what major to pick, which didn't go quite well with ambitious Sophie. They are still hanging somewhere between being friends and couples.
With everyone getting their acceptance letters my anxiety just grew. Maybe it's not good to be too picky with the colleges while applying. Kristina and Ryan tried to cheer me up that I will get selected for sure and not lose hope.
Sophie is in the worst position compared to me, constantly grilled by her parents, I at least had Brown's support whereas she has to live with her parents taunts 24*7
The loud sound of my phone pulled me from my thoughts. As soon as I accepted the call and placed the cellphone next to my ear, Sophie's loud cry almost deafened me, I almost pulled the phone away from my ear for a second and again placed it back.
"I'm in. I'm in. Woohoo, I got accepted to Yale. Can you believe it? I'm off to Connecticut. At last freedom from my Mom's taunts." Her voice got a bit of a crack like she was crying at the same time happiness oozed out of it. Bet she is happily crying in her room.
"Oh My God!! Wow! Congratulations Soph. I knew it. I knew it. I'm so happy for ya. I soo wanna rub in your mum's face how I knew all along that you will crack. I can't believe she doubted YOU!"
I couldn't stop the happy tears blurring my vision. I felt so happy and a sense of relief fluttered through me.
"We have to have a party!!" I shouted at her.
"Let's have one after you get your acceptance letter," Sophie said, her excitement reducing a little.
"Nah, I want to celebrate one for your success. Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm getting accepted to any of the colleges I applied for." My hope is crumbling with each passing day.
"I believe you are gonna get that damn letter by the end of this week. So stop doubting yourself." She sounded angry. I can imagine her red face and flared nostrils.
"Okay, less about me More about Yale. Are you in for a party tonight? Let's go out! You ask Ben if he could join us, I will ask Ryan to invite Leslie too."
"Yeah sure. See you tonight then."
*************
It's been 4days since our little party. I and Sophie planned a shopping spree with Leslie for college. We want to get close to her now that she is dating Ryan. What better activity than shopping for girls to bond with!
They both are now reluctant because I didn't get accepted to any college. I don't wanna spoil my friend's plans because of me. Somehow I pulled them for shopping. After hours of shopping, we finally managed to get out of the plaza, our hands full of shopping bags.
My cellphone chimed, I shifted all my bags to my left hand and took my phone out of my cross-body sling bag with the other hand looking at Leslie and laughing at the joke she cracked.
Nonchalant I turned my gaze to the screen and froze in my tracks. I dropped the shopping bags to the ground clutching my cellphone with both hands.
Oh my God!
