Nothing

Halley was ready, she had woken up early, well rested, had a delicious breakfast her mother made, she took a shower, put in a light face of makeup and braided her hair to keep it out of the way for the fight, she had her bag packed with her gi and her captain headband. The morning was going very peacefully until her mother came into her room with three envelopes in her hands for her.
Central Saint Martins
Istituto Marangoni
Institut Français de la mode
England, Italy and France. Her three top choices of all the applications she sent, it felt like a dream to have her in her hands and it was unbelievable that they all came at the same time and something in her had her scared they were rejections but maybe they weren't and she didn't know what scared her more. She started with the one from France, her bottom choice of the three
Rejection
She didn't let that discourage her, she brushed past it quickly moving onto Italy, her second top choice, with her hands as steady as she could manage them she ripped it open and her eyes immediately scanned the page ignoring all formalities and just looking at the important thing
"Oh, my god" she almost screamed, she had been accepted to that one. She stared at it for a second processing the information, everything becoming much more real, it wasn't just some applications she had sent with uncertainty of if she'd even hear back, she had been accepted to one of her top choices and one of the best fashion schools in Italy. As if her hands weren't shaky enough, she grabbed the last envelope and took a deep breath before carefully opening it once again ignoring the non important information
'We are pleased to announce-'
Halley didn't need to ready more, eyes wide and wet, she jumped from her bed, both acceptance letters in her hands as she ran out of her room and down the stairs
"I got in! Mom! Dad! I got in!" both parents stood up, the biggest grins in their faces and rushed to their daughter receiving her in their arms, the ambiance differend, much more lighter than what it was the day before
"We're so proud of you, Hally" her father told her softly. After that Halley went on an excited rant to her parents about England and the things she was planning to do there, the places she wanted to go to and overall how excited she was about it. It took her a while to finally go back to her room where the excitement settled down and she realized one thing
Eli had no idea
He had no idea she was even thinking about studying outside of the country, let alone so far away. She hadn't said anything not wanting to create fuss over nothing but now it was no longer 'nothing' she had a spot secured for a college abroad. Halley immediately started to think when and how to tell him, she figured she'd wait after her fight, regardless of what happened he surely couldn't be mad at her, if she won he'd be too happy for that and if she lost he'd be wanting to comfort her too much to even care
