i go outside to check the mail and come back inside.

"that was quick." ashton says.

"well if you know a letter from a university is coming for you then you would be fast too." i reply.

the past month and a half, ive been eligible to go to three different universities, but i wanted to go to a certain one; fairland university.

its been my dream since i started high school.

i flip through the envelopes and find one from fairland.

the boys gather around me to get their stuff while im just standing there, afraid to open my envelope.

what if i dont get accepted?

"okay." i breathe out.

i open the envelope and get the paper inside.

i read the letter and let out a scream, jumping up and down.

"WHAT?! WHAT HAPPENED?!" michael yells.

"I GOT ACCEPTED INTO FAIRLAND UNIVERSITY!"

"congratulations denise!" calum exclaims, hugging me.

calum and i are getting close, really close. we've been on 3 dates and every time i see him i like him even more.

"aww, theyre so cute together." luke tells ashton. "youre baby sister is growing up." he pretends to cry, wiping a tear.

ashton chuckles as i roll my eyes.

"when's your first day there?" michael asks.

"uhh." i scan my eyes through the letter. "on monday?! THATS IN 4 DAYS!"

"good luck." luke pats my shoulder and sits on the tall chair in the kitchen.

i walk to the kitchen and open the refrigerator to grab a water bottle.

"you drink a lot of water." calum states.

"yeah, i know. did you know youre supposed to drink eight cups of water everyday?" i reply, closing the fridge.

calum smiles and asks, "do you like me?" changing the subject.

i almost choked on my water. i was coughing my lungs out attempting to say 'im okay, im okay.'

after ive calmed a bit, calum looks at me questioningly.

"can we talk somewhere else? my brother is like right there and i dont feel comfortable talking about this in the kitchen." i quietly say.

calum nods and we walk to his room.

after he shuts the door, he says, "well?"

"yes, i like you. ive liked you since i saw you at the airport. youre a really sweet and funny guy and i love going on dates with you, calum." i reply, sweetly.

he blushes and walks towards me. his tall figure towering over me as he attaches his lips to mine.

"where did denise and calum go?" i ask, looking around the kitchen.

"theyre probably getting it on in calums room." luke laughs.

"ew! dont say that, luke!" ashton exclaims.

"well then, go check!" luke points to the hall.

"no!"
