Cupcakes to Caviar

3 // College & Pancakes

"Bye Grams." I give her a kiss on the cheek and wave to her as she walks down the street to her car. When I can't see her anymore I rush inside, up the stairs and into my room, pulling my phone out of my pocket in the process. I put in my passcode and pull up messages.

I text Anna 'Come over. ASAP'. 'Already on my way' she quickly replies. About a minute later there was a knock on my bedroom door. "Come in" I yell to whoever is on the other side, not knowing wether it was Anna or my mom. Anna slowly walks into my room and I abruptly stand up. "So what happened?" I quietly asked.

Then Anna went on about how he told her that he didn't want to break up, that he was sorry he wasn't putting in enough effort and that he didn't care what college either of them attended, he still wanted to be with her. And that he dropped the L-bomb.

Love.

"Oh my god! Anna I'm so happy for you!" I say. "I know! I was so happy, I said it back." She tells me and a big, genuine smile appears on her face and I was SO insanely happy for her.

"Oh, do you want to stay over and help me research stuff?" I ask.

"Sure. What are we researching?" And with two words I could answer her question.

"College scholarships."

Anna gives me the most serious look she can and says,

"Let's do this."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"NYU? We could be roomies! They have lots of academic scholarships." Then Anna lists all of the scholarships they have.

NYU is definitely a possibility, I would love to stay in New York, plus I could spend my college years with my best friend.

Of course she hasn't gotten into NYU yet but she really, and I mean really, wants to go. Plus she has the grades and extracurricular activities so she is pretty much a complete shoe-in.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum, I have absolutely no idea where I want to go. There are so many choices, multiple colleges in every state. I guess I just have to deal with the idea that I have no clue where to go to college and how to pay for it.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

My eyes flutter open, Anna is on the foot of my bed sleeping. The computer is still open on her lap, I chuckle to myself and turn to the clock on my bedside table.

It's 8 o'clock and I'm hungry, I guess it's time for breakfast. I slowly walk out of my room, trying not to wake Anna, and down the stairs into the kitchen.

I decide on chocolate chip pancakes because it's what we have ingredients for and they are delicious. So I take out everything I need and start cooking.

Just as the pancakes reach the final plate, Anna and my little brother, Mike, come stumbling into the kitchen. Obviously they are both still half asleep because Anna bumps into a chair, and Mike mumbles something that sounds like a mixture of 'hello' and 'good morning'.

I start a pot of coffee for my parents because I know once the smell reaches my mothers nose she will be out of bed.

I put the pancakes, plates, forks and knives, and a bottle of maple syrup on the table. When I turn around to pour a cup of coffee for my mom, just as I thought, there she was slowly sipping her coffee.

"Well good morning." I greet her. "Good morning, and thanks for cooking breakfast Em." She returns my greeting with a smile. "No problem." I say.

As I turn around I see Anna drenching her pancakes in syrup. "You're gonna ruin the them you know!" I tell her while pulling the bottle from her hands.

"No, nothing can ruin your pancakes." She says while waving me off. I roll my eyes and she smiles.
