"Soph, you have a letter!" Fitz called, seizing the royal blue envelope with the council's stamp on it carefully.
Sophie grunted. "Can you put it on the desk for me?" She asked. She isn't in the mood right now, what if she didn't pass? Is she going to graduate? The final result should be here 5 minutes ago.
A knock on the door caught Sophie's attention, another letter slid through the thin crack between the door and the floor. She picked it up, with her hands shaking, she tore open the envelope.
Sophie Elizabeth Foster's graduation exam:
Alchemcy: 60
Universe: 90
Advanced Telepathy: 100
Multispeciesial studies: 85
Metaphysics: 90
Elvin History: 89
Inflicting: 96
Lingustics:75
Enhancing: 93
Final Result: Passed
Sophie stared at the grades in surprise. "I told you they'll let you pass." Fitz said, peeking over Sophie's shoulder.
"Well, that was unexpected." Sophie muttered.
"Soph, I think your graduation will be in three days, that's what Sir Astin told me." Fitz said, wrapping a supportive arm around Sophie's waist.
Sophie pulled Fitz closer to her, pressing her lips against his, she kissed his like he is the only warmth in the world. Fitz slid his tongue into Sophie's mouth, savoring the soft touch, their tongues twisted together, and Sophie couldn't help herself.
Fitz handed her the royal blue envelope. "Open it." He urged.
Sophie slowly tore the envelope open, taking out the paper inside.
Dear Sophie,
I know you might be mad at me forever, but I still want to say that I'm sorry. I've liked Fitz for a long time, since the first time I met him. I know I have done horrible things to you, even after you helped me and Tam out of Elixium, and I already learned my lesson, I don't expect you to forgive me after what I've done. I mean, if you don't mind, can we still be friends after I get out of this cage?
Sincerely yours,
Linh Hai Song
Sophie looked at Fitz after she read this. "Should I?" she muttered under her breath.
"Your choice." Fitz whispered into her ear.
