Chapter 2

{Collecting Results}

-------------------------------------------------

Me and my family returned from our 3 week holiday to L.A in the middle of August. Just in time because the next day, August 18th, was A Level results day. I woke up that morning, not thinking of anything but my results. Everything I had worked for, revolves around this one bit of A4 paper. The amount of tension was massive.

My mum and I met George and his family at the main college building. Not having seen George for about 4 weeks, I gave him a massive hug. 'I missed you so much George!' I whispered in his ear. He smiled and whispered back 'i missed you too'. We walked into the college building together holding each others hands (as best friends, of course). Most of the other year 13 students were already at the desk, collecting there envelopes. Me and George made our way forward and nervously asked for ours. The Middle aged lady was super nice and found both of ours straight away, although they were at separate ends of the table, as my surname was Liquish and George's was Shelley. Slowly, we backed away and stood in the middle of the room. It felt like we were the only 2 people there as we carefully unstuck the seal at the top.

The 10 seconds it took to open them, honestly felt like a lifetime. We both looked at each other and grabbed hold of the pieces of paper sticking out the top. 'You ready Ly?' George asked. 'Yeah I guess' I replied, lifting my piece of paper out even more. '3....2....1' George said.

At that moment we both pulled the paper out. Silence soon followed.

I stood there, looking at the page of writing, in shock. George was doing them same. Then I screamed with happiness. My mum obviously heard the screams and came running up to me. 'What is it Lyra?!' She yelled. 'Mum look!' I screamed, showing her what I got. A in geography, A* in music, A in Media and B in English!! I couldn't believe it and had to continuously repeat pinching myself. 'Well done Lyrina-Lexi' my mum said, hugging me. I looked up at George who still had the face of shock, but he soon smiled and cheered. 'What did you get George?!' I asked, squeezing myself next to him. 'A* in music, A in graphic design, B in Art and B in English' he yelled. We both stared at each other and hugged so tight, there became a point where I struggled to breath. 'Wait you know what that means?! We both get to go to Cambridge!!!!' I exclaimed with excitement. 'Omg yes! Wow this is going to be amazing!' George added.

That moment, honestly felt so special. It was like me and George were made to be together and never to be separated.
