somebody to you | n.c

v

joe and i arrived and parked in front of our house.

"now go inside, mom and dad are waiting for you." joe said.

i grabbed my skating bag from the bottom of my seat and got out of joe's car immediately. i ran quickly inside the house and just dropped my things by the stairs.

"mom and dad! i'm home." i yelled.

"we're in the kitchen!" my dad yelled.

i slowly walked into the kitchen, things were getting suspicious and it was bothering me.
it was getting really weird because the lights were off and everything.

"surprise!" i heard a voice. my mom, dad, my two best friends jordan and ariana, and my brother popped up from the middle of nowhere with cake, balloons, and a laptop.

joseph had his phone in his hand videoing the whole thing while my parents and best friends were just standing there smiling.

i was highly confused because it wasn't my birthday or anything, "what's going on here?" I questioned.

"see she's confused, we should of never done this." jordan said.

"huh?" i said.

my mom sighed, "ariana give her the laptop or just place it down on the table." ariana nodded and placed the laptop on the table.

i walked up to the table and read the email carefully.

dear miss anna flores,
welcome to yale college! it is with the greatest enthusiasm that i write to congratulate you on your admission to the class of 2022. you have every reason to feel proud of you accomplishment and i am delighted at the prospect that you will join our community next fall.

just only reading the first paragraph made me jump up and down screaming.

"yes yes yes!" i cheered.

yale has been my dream college since middle school because of there splendid dance program and i felt that the university was the best for me because of my gpa and my sats. so im very blessed that i can get this opportunity.

"im going into yale!" i screamed.

everyone cheered me on and gave me a group hug.

"congratulations!"

after an hour of fun and festivities for me being accepted in yale, i was dead tired that i ended up laying in my bed with my phone in my hand.

i felt a buzzing vibration on my hand, i looked up at my phone to see nathan calling me. hmm he never deleted my contacts i thought, i softly laughed to myself at just the thought knowing that i told him to delete my contact.

i simply accepted the call.

"yes nathan." i said.

"anna you're okay." he said in relief.

"i've been fine." i chuckled

there was something unusual with nathan and i just couldn't put it into pieces.

"the question is are you fine? because when you answered you seemed worried." i said.

i thought about it and then i realized at what happened earlier.

"im fine i just got home from the rink, but about what happened earlier with the kiss." he said.

"you're good nathan, that wasn't a bad kiss or anything, I'm not mad about it." i chuckled. "by the way don't take it personal that i just left the rink like that, i was trying to avoid you away from my brother."

i hated the fact my brother still has beef on nathan even though they never communicate that much.

"oh right your brother still hates me." he said.

"more like overprotective." i scoffed.

we both were silent on the phone until nathan broke it.

"so why did you leave early?" he asked me.

"oh so apparently that emergency was actually a surprise because i got accepted into yale." i happily said.

"yale has in the ivy league school?" he asked once more.

"yes nathan." i clarified

"anna that's great. that's like been your dream college since middle school."

i smiled when he said dream college, i forgot i told him this when we first started dating and when i did he said he would always support my decision, which was the sweetest thing ever and whenever he got in he said we would always walk hand and hand around the campus. but look how we ended up now, just two teenage kids that still have feelings for each other that was brokened up from a mistake.

"do you think you'll get in?" i asked "because remember what you said when we first dated."

he sighed, "maybe, yale was one of the east coast schools i applied for but i haven't gotten any acceptance letters yet and yes anna i can never forget."

"i'm really hoping you get in." i said.

"i do too." he responded back.

my thoughts just got cut off by a cloud of thought of what nathan and i would be now.

"what are we?" i asked.

"i have no idea anna." he said,"do you want to meet up tomorrow to talk about it?"

i had no time that much because i have dance practice for my competition this weekend and i've been working my butt off everyday, so that was stressful enough including my job interview next week with ariana.

"i can't nathan. i have my dance competition this weekend and i've been working my butt off." i sighed.

"how about next week, maybe i can bring you to milan with me for my worlds competition?"

nathan was too nice to offer these things but i had to have a busy schedule. i frowned in the dark just thinking about how busy i was.

"i have a job interview with my best friend and i can't miss it."

he sighed through the phone once more, "will find out a way."

"yeah we will.. look i have to go because i'm super tired from today but it was nice seeing you again and i promise you we will find a way, but for now good luck at worlds." i said, seconds after that i yawned.

"good night beautiful sleep tight and I'll see you soon." right after he said those words, he immediately hung up.
