🛋 ( chapter eighteen )
"AND THAT, MR. Hunter, is how babies are made."
The entire class turned to see Shawn, who had no expression on his face. "I still don't believe him,"
Such a Shawn response.
"Uh, before I forget, uh, next Friday will be College Recruitment day. Representatives will be here from, uh, USC, NYU, and Rutgers." The bell rang, causing the students to stand up. Valentina took her backpack and put it on but waited for Topanga to join her before walking toward the classroom exit. "Oh, and Mr. Matthews, your interview with Standford has been rescheduled from three to 3:30."
"Oh, will Cory have an interview with the Stanford people, too?"
"Yeah, according to him, it'll only be an interview, but you-know-who will go crazy." Topanga replied to her friend as they watched the boys leave class.
"Yeah, I know. He'll freak out a lot more than he did when I said I'd have an interview with the Penn, Stanford, and Cambridge people."
"When we were little kids, you promised me that we'd go to the same college together."
Both girls saw each other, knowing that there would surely be problems between the two of them. "Did I say that?"
"Yes, and you also told me that if I graduated high school, you'd take me to Vermont to watch the leaves change."
"Right, Vermont."
"Vermont?"
"October. Write it down."
"Hey, girls." Angela sat between Valentina and Topanga. "What are you doing here? And why does Shawn look so offended?"
"Hi, babe. Well, Shawn just found out that Cory is having an interview with the Stanford people."
"Well, what's wrong with that?"
"That apparently Cory had promised Shawn when they were little that they would go to the same college. And it also seems that Shawn doesn't believe that he can get into those kinds of universities himself." And when Shawn had an specific mindset about something it could be difficult to turn it over.
