Roseanne sat on a chair in front of Mrs. Irene's desk. while Mrs. Irene is finding something in the book shelf, she then took an office file with Roseanne's name on it. "Here, its your daily record for every exam." Roseanne took the office file and opened it up with Mrs. Irene's eye on her to see her reaction. Roseanne turn to every single page and the last page was a certificate with her name on for students who got accepted in University of Oxford, seeing the certificate with her name on is unbelievable. Roseanne teared up in front of Mrs. Irene because of her happiness to enter Oxford and because of her sadness for leaving her friends with problems. Mrs. Irene stood up from her seat and comfort Roseanne "I know its hard to leave your friends but, if you write their names in your heart then it will forever be there. The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud." Mrs. Irene said calmly to make Roseanne feel welcome to the university, she continued- "If you are never scared, embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take chances. I believe in taking chances and living your life. Sometimes doors open and others close and you have to figure out which one you're going to take. If you believe in your dream with all your heart, you can achieve it. Accept who are you and your uniqueness. Define your choices and believes. Please do meet me again for more information and please do not miss this chance."
Roseanne went out from Mrs. Irene's office and politely close the door and leaned back at the wall near the door crying. She then stood up and walk calmly looking down to the canteen and to a table where she finds Wendy, Lucas and Mark talking and laughing she gave up and just burst out in tears and went to her knees in front of them. Wendy hugged her and brought her up to the empty seat next to her. "Why are you crying Rose?" Wendy asked her politely while she took a strand of her thin braid that was covering her face and place it at the back of Roseanne's ear. "I-I-i a-am m-m-movi-ng a-awa-y." Roseanne stutter cause her sobs. They then looked at Roseanne with their disbelief look. "S-so I want to tell you one of the main reasons why I'm working so hard.When I've reached my goal, I want to give you as much happiness as I possible can. I want to be the friend that pushes you to reach your full potential instead of burdening you. I want to hold your hand on level ground instead of tugging you down."
"The bell is going to ring in about three minutes now. What you gonna' do?" Mark said as he look at Wendy. "Lucas you tell Mrs. Irene that Roseanne is going to have some space for a while and Mark please can you tell Mr. Bobby that I went to the nurses office cause I was not feeling good. Now that we got three minutes left, let's go Roseanne to the rooftop." Wendy said and she helped Roseanne to the rooftop making sure that no one is looking so that no one could make any rumour about their seniors skipping class.
As they reach the rooftop Wendy saw Jennie sitting alone there with Suzy. 'Seems like she cried...?' Wendy thought as she pulls Roseanne to the opposite way as they walk towards the door.
