The weekend was great, Lana made it great. You've been obeying Wilhemina to keep her anger down. You tried your best to please her by behaving well. She's busy in her office so you spend most of your time in your room.

There's nothing else to do, no classes to attend to since the finals just passed and you decided to unwind a bit. On weekdays, you go to work to fill in your missing days, and sometimes working on overtime.

It's been a few days and now you receive an email from the University. It's about the results of the finals. You see the results and you managed to pass every program, thinking that your sleepless nights paid off.

You rush to your messages to contact your professor. "Hey!" Greeting ecstatically as soon as she picks up the call.

"Hello, (y/n). You sound so happy, may I know why?" Hearing her let out a soft snicker on the other line.

Biting your lower lip to contain your excitement before telling her the good news. "I just received an email about the final exams, I passed!" You exclaimed then inhaling deeply before continuing to speak. "I was thinking of celebrating, would you like to hang out?" Sending her an invite and hoping she'll accept.

You're on your way out of your house as you just finished doing your laundry. It's Tuesday if you're wondering. So you plan on hanging out with Lana before you proceed to your work.

"Congratulations! Well, I just finished lunch but it's still my lunch break. I guess let's hang out while I still have an hour." There's some distinctive noise in the background as she responds to your invite.

"Alright, I'll pick you up in fifteen. See yah." The words dance out of your mouth before ending the call and then you hop into the car as Jerry is waiting for you. "To the University, Jer."

He nods his head once then starts to drive away. "Good mood?" The driver query as you hum to yourself in joy.

Your eyes darted to the rearview mirror while the delighted smile in your mouth never left. "Yup, I just passed the finals." Giggling like a child as you tell him the good news.

"Congratulations, kiddo. Are you gonna celebrate it?" Another question he asks.

You nod your head "Will do, I'm gonna have lunch with a friend." You tuck in your white shirt under your ripped jeans while wearing on your red and black flannel over your shirt.

Minutes of traveling, you see your professor is standing at the entrance of the campus. Lana sees the car as it drives closer and closer to her direction.

You push the door open and she enters in "Congratulations, (y/n)!" Her greetings as she settles in, causing you to chuckle with her energy.

"So, where do you want to go?" Facing your prof to look at her as she fixes her seating.

Her head faces you and beams a smile "It's your celebration, your choice."

"Hmm, then we'll eat ice cream." You turn your head to the front, to look at Jerry. "Jerry, to the nearest ice cream parlor, please."

Jerry steers one block away from the university where there's an ice cream shop nearby. The two of you enter the parlor and there are tons of flavors to choose from.

"What flavor do you want?" You nudge her arm gently as she's busy thinking of what to get. It alarms her a little then turns her gaze at you with a pleasant smile across her face.

"Oh, salted caramel." She opens her purse to get some cash out but you seize her by putting your hand at the top of hers.

You hold stares and you slowly shake your head no "Don't think about paying, it's my treat." Then proceeding to the cashier to order your desserts.
