Rachel's POV

Dear Diary,

      Today is the day the Elite Academy invitations are being passed out. In the envelope is everything you need to get to Elite Academy and how to start. I heard that there's something in there that helps you throughout the year, like a guide... I'm so nervous. I really hope I got in. PRAYING,

      Rachel Kina Silverman

I shut my diary and clamped the lock around it. I sighed. It was 6 A.M. in Westchester, New York. I looked outside my window. Still a little dark. I slipped on my slippers and creeped out of my bedroom. I sneaked down the stairs, making sure to skip the stair that creaked. I didn't want anyone to see if the envelope from Elite Academy was here. I, was the one who had to see it first. 

I opened the front door and walked out into our front yard. The mailbox's red flag thing was up. I'm sure it wasn't for the mailman... We hadn't any outgoing mail. I rushed to the mailbox and opened it, pulling out the contents. 

I looked through them. Bills, something from Grandma, something for my little sister, brochures, and...

Ohmygod.

An envelope. A pink mettalic envelope with golden edges. From the Elite Academy. I got in. I had to have gotten in. I'd gotten in.

I started sprinting for the house. I grabbed the doorknob and opened it. I ran into my mom who was about to go out and get the mail.

I screamed in her face.

"Ow, Rae. What's wrong?" she asked.

How could she not know what today was?

"MOM! OMYGOSH! TODAY IS WHEN EVERYONE GETS THEIR ACCEPTANCE LETTERS!" I told her.

"OHMYGOD! SO? DID YOU GET IN?" she asked in excitement.

"Well, I came in screaming, didn't I?" I said with a grin.

"...Technically, you could've been screaming because you didn't get in and you were angry..."

"Oh, shut up mom. I got in, be proud for me!" I said with a little pout.

"OH HONEY! Of course I'm proud of you. Elite Academy is one of the best, if not the best, schools in the US!" she said with a proud smile.

I smiled back. I couldn't wait till... when was I going? I looked inside the envelope. I pulled out the letter and started reading.
