Nico sat in the dining room focusing on sending applications for community colleges when she got a call from her mother.
"Why is there a mail address to you from MIT?" Tina asked as she examined the envelope in her hand while talking to her youngest.
"I am gonna kill Hana." Nico shook her head, "I'll be right over."
Five minutes later, Nico drove up to her parents' mansion. As she walks in, Nico looks at the paintings on the wall and chuckles, remembering how Hana got those paintings. "Before she got married," Nico sighs, "in New York, Hana saw this painter on the street. Mom was so mad…"
Robert shook her head, "Tina threw a fit about how the painting was so cheaply made, but when we got home, she displayed it here… Your mom is really something, isn't she?"
Nico looks at her dad, "Yeah, a real pain in the ass."
Robert looks at the corner, "Hey, dear."
Nico winced as she turned around to find no one there; Nico frowned at her father's smug smile, "Not funny."
"What's not funny?" Tina asked.
"Nothing." Nico quickly responded. "Anyways, you got it?" Nico looked at her mother.
"In my office." Tina gestures for Nico to follow her. In her office, Tina handed a shiny envelope addressed to Nico. "Open it."
Nico, annoyed, ripped open the envelope and read the letter in silence. "I am gonna kill Hana." Nico handed the letter to her mom.
Tina looked at it with Robert looking over her shoulder, and they both gasped.
As if on cue, Hana enters the office. "What can be so urgent that I needed to leave the school?"
Nico snatched the paper from Tina's grasp and threw it at Hana, "What lie did you put in the application?"
"I… what?" Hana looks at the letter, "I didn't lie; you truly got in."
"How? When your sister, no offense Nico, got a C- in computer class?" Tina asked.
Hana smiles, "Don't you get it? The only reason for her low grade is because she didn't do the work, but in every test and quiz in that class, Nico got top marks."
Nico sighs, "I truly got in."
"Yup." Hana smiles. "Say it."
"Say what?" Nico looks confused.
"You know you want to." Hana in a singsong voice.
"I got in on my own… not because I'm a legacy."
