Chapter 9

"Principal Goldman." Ember called out. Her cheeks soon began to lose their shade of red.

"Yes, Miss. Gonzalez."He replied with his friendly tone once again.

"Why was I called in to the office? She spoke in fear. Someone had spilled the beans as they say. Or had he seen the video that soon would be on youtube; if it isn't already.

"Well, Ember-Esmee, The University of California System has sent you a letter to the school. Here it is." He handed over the letter over to her. Ember held her breath. Her future has already been began, and what this letter contains is part of it. What as in it? 'Oh let it be good news' she thought to herself. Omar began to be concerned, she wasn't moving, her chest was moving slowly.

"Em, baby?" Omar took her hand and squeezed it. Em blinked and began to breathe normally.

"Do you have a letter opener, Mr. Goldman?" She asked nervously.

"Yes, its here somewhere" he spoke giving her a difficult time. He already knew where it was.

"AH HA!" He finally said, Ember sighed it was in front of her the whole time. He handed it over to Ember. Her chubby fingers taking hold of the letter opener she carefully oppened the envelope. Being careful not to tear the letter in the process. Finally the letter has been removed from the envelope. She unfolded it and read it.

Ember-Esmee Gonzalez,

We have recieved your application, and we are eager to inform you that you have been accepted not only to one but all the colleges within the UC systems. We expect to hear from you soon to set up an appointment to tour the schools......

The letter continued but she couldn't read any further. She was very happy-Happy was an undestatment.

"I was accepted!" She yelled estatically.

"What?" Omar asked.

"It said I was basically accepted to any UC College!" She bounced up and down in excitment.

"Well you are my top student!" Principal Goldman add proudly. Ember had perfect attendance except for yesterday but it was excused.

"Which are you planning to attend?" Omar asked rather intrigued. He had been accepted into UCLA with a full ride Sports Scholarship. It would kill him to not be with Em. Just the thought made his heart ache.

"I don't know, I still haven't heard anything from Harvard or Yale."

"Oh-Okay..."Omar spoke in disappointment. She had her own dreams as well but how could she live without him. If he can't go on instant with out her.

Before Ember could continue to enjoy the news, the cold feeling returned. Her chest was cold and it had begun to spread. She had to give up on her dreams of being accepted. She placed down her acceptance letter.

"Principal Goldman." Her sweet smile turning in to a small frown. She folded the letter and placed it on the desk. It felt heavy in her palms.

"Yes Ember?" He spoke rather confused with her emotional change. What could possibly be so bad that has her in a down mood.

"I-i" she hid her face in shame. " I broke Britneys nose momments ago. She had begun to insult me again. I honestly don't know what happened. I lost control and hit her. Now I know I will loose every scholarship and no longer be accepted into any College." Her hazel eyes began to tear up.

"Ember" the principal sighed, "I know they had bothered you the more we took action the more they attacked you. As for this I am not going to report you. Your colleges wont know."
