Everybody Has 1 Power

Chapter 7 | What?

Anya told me about her life, it sounded really sad. I don't know how she coped, I wouldn't be able to cope. Well, I guess she had to. She's so brave, she's still my friend. My only friend since Stacy died. John's been giving me side glances, I don't really care about him anymore since Stacy died. I've been focused on studying. I got called into the headteacher's office, and she said something that shocked me. ''You have got the chance to graduate early at the age of 16 to go to the University of Oxford.'' I was shocked, I didn't know what to say. I could start my studying for medical school, and could get into medical school at 18, and become a doctor at 25, including the internship that every surgeon has to go through. I've always dreamed of this, but not graduating at 16! Why are things starting to go right since Stacy died? Not in that way, I'm not saying I'm happy she's dead. I'm saying that things have been going right since she died, I got a new friend and now I'm graduating highschool early and going to the University of Oxford. I felt like I wanted to cry, like Oh My Gosh! ''What?'' I ask quietly, in shock. I nod and smile. I'm going to England again and going for university. ''We have already told your mom.'' I mean, it's a bit scary. I'm just 16 and I could go to University at 16 and medical school at 18, and become an intern at 24! Stacy would be proud, she'd probably be with me. She was smart too, she wanted to be like Izzie Stevens, and I don't blame her, she was smart and pretty like Izzie. I miss her. Not Izzie, well yeah, I do miss Izzie, but I meant Stacy. I'm so excited! After that, I went home and got my books out about surgery and turned my phone on, propping it up with my lamp and turning Grey's Anatomy on. I watch S21 E4 and read the book 'Grey's Anatomy'. My mom walks in, smiling. She knew and she seemed happy about it, I could become a doctor in a few years like her and Meredith Grey! ''I got a letter from Oxford.'' She hands me the letter and I almost rip it open and start to read it, it was an acceptance letter. I hadn't even applied and I got accepted, I'm not complaining! ''You're gonna be like me in a few years.'' My mom says and I smile back, I'm happy I'm going to be like my mom. I finally get to show how smart I am at OXFORD UNIVERSITY!!!! It's exciting but scary at the same time, mainly exciting. I shake just thinking about it, I'm finally becoming like my mom!! My mom smiles back at me and turns my phone off, knowing I wouldn't like to miss any of Greys. She knows me to well, well she is my mom. I'm smart!!

The next day, I started to pack my bags for Oxford, I have to move to whole other country to go to Oxford. Am I the first every 16 year-old to go to Oxford? Imagine? It'd be crazy! I realized that I have to say bye to my mom for multiple years while I study surgery at university. Yes, I'd realized, but it just finally hit me fully and it's scary and exciting. I am gonna miss her. I miss Stacy too, she would be so happy for me, and maybe even coming with me. She wanted to be a Cardio surgeon or be an oncologist like Izzie. We used to banter about who was the cutest or smartest of funniest in Greys Anatomy, I've missed that. She'd always win, bringing up Jackson, or April, or Bailey. I never won. She was too smart for me. We met in Nursery, and then we were friends the whole way through to highschool.. and now she's gone. I'm gonna have to say bye to Anya, and John. I mean, I might have different friends in University, there might be people like me. Really smart, I mean. No one could ever replace Stacy, and I would never want anyone to. She'd be so upset, and it wouldn't feel the same. It's nearly Christmas, and we usually have snowball fights and make a mini Christmas tree together, but I guess we're not doing it this year. It's my first christmas at University! It must be pretty cool, I mean, Oxford looks really good in the snow, so it must be okay inside. But what if I get too ill to go the lectures, I would miss all of the lectures and not be able to become a doctor. I might be able to do online classes about medical stuff, I'm overthinking, that wouldn't happen. I've already writ a lot for the first day of University. I'm a bit scared because what if they don't accept me and this is all a trick? I'm just overthinking again.
