Crawling out of Brandon's bed was a lot harder than I thought. I the floorboards made loud noises as I carefully made my way out of his room and god knows what time of the night. Smiling as I shut the door, I hurried off to my room.

Melia🌹: good morning

Mico🐭: someone's in a good mood...

Melia🌹: because your university has accepted you!! Didn't you get the email?

Mico🐭: shit I just remembered, So your going to!?!?

Melia🌹: if your studying law, I'm studying law.

Mico🐭: I better start packing.

Melia🌹: duh hurry I'll be at nicks place at 10am, since it's literally 3am.

Mico🐭: see you then.

I've never been more excited but felt deeply sad as well. I felt a strong connection between Brandon and I. I hope I wasn't just some girl he slept with. But I've been excepted to Harvard. And I know what your thinking. When did all the test happen? Well about that. I did it online a few months ago.
Some how I managed to pack a suit case, with all my stuff. Nick news about this, but I never told anyone else that I got in. I only just new now. Should I wake him up?

I changed into a comfy outfit and pulled my suite case to the door. It was now 9am and soon enough everyone would be waking up. Well that's what I thought.

"Nick." I whispered. "Nick." I said dragging his name on. Soon enough his eyes opened. "What?" Nick said sitting up as he looked at the time. "I'm leaving today." I said holding up to the paper which had my bus ticket and the Harvard slip. Nicks eyes widened as he pulled me into a big hung. "I'm so proud of you!" Nick yelled as he got up. "Pancakes for you. Pancakes for everyone!" Nick yelled as he left his room to the kitchen. I followed him, but I sat on the couch.

"What?" Edwin said rubbing his head as he came out. "Mico is going to Harvard today!!!" Nick said as he placed pancakes in front of me. Edwin gave me a very long and big hug. "That's great, are you leaving today." Edwin said sadly. "Yeah. But we can keep in touch." I said holding my phone up and we gave each other our numbers. Edwin was a good friend of mine, I wasn't going to lose him.

Edwin took a plate of pancakes and began talking about the room I would be staying in and about how I need to set alarms and getting good sleep.
"Morning, whats all the screaming about?" Austin said walking out as he too sat at the table. "Mico is going to Harvard, I'm not saying it anymore." Nick said handing Austin a plate of pancakes. "Today?" Austin asked looking over. "Yeah, my friend Melia is coming with me some how she got in." I said laughing as I took a bite out of my pancake. Zion came out and basically everyone knew at this point, besides Brandon. I tried not to think  about Brandon.

"Well what time you leaving?" Nick asked as he sat down with us all. "When ever Melia turned up." I said as I took all the empty plates to the sink and washed them up. "We're going I miss you." Edwin said smiling. "The house has never been cleaner." Zion said as everyone laugh including me.

9am

"I'll take the last one to Brandon." I said taking a plate of pancakes to his room, I shut the door to see Brandon in is phone. "Hello beautiful." Brandon said placing his phone down. I sat on the bed next to him as he ate the pancakes. "Brandon." I said looking over to the boy eating pancakes as his glasses slipped down his nose. He nodded. "I haven't been completely honest with you." I said looking deeply in his eyes. "Go on." Brandon said with a smile. "I'm leaving for Harvard today very soon." I said looking down as I saw Brandon place the plate down. "Harvard... wow that's uh great." He said as I knew he tried to be happy. "I only found out this morning and I'm sorry, I didn't think it matter after all I only just slept with you. That's all I thought it meant to you." I said. "Mico, I've always loved you. I understand and I respect it. Just promise me." Brandon kissed me. "Promise me you won't forget me." He whispered as we kissed. "Never." I said as Brandon let go and got up. I left the room with a smile and an empty plate. "You were there for some time." Austin said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes as I cleaned the plate.

10am

The sound of a nock at the door, was excitement but also said, I opened the door.
"Hey!" Melia said hugging me. "You excited?" She asked taking my bag to the car. I looked around and said my goodbyes. "Make me proud." Nick said. "Happy food happy life." Edwin said laughing. "Good luck." Zion said. "Go to as many parties as you can." Austin said as Edwin nudged him. I paused in front of Brandon. "Have fun." He said as he pulled me into a kiss. I was shocked that we kissed for the first time in front of everyone. After that I quickly ran out the door and into Melia's car, waving at my brother and my new friends.
