Chapter Thirteen - In Shock

The women spoke on the other end in a professional manner.

"Who is it?" Dylan whispered.

I shrugged my shoulders and gave him a questionable look.

"Yes this is she?" I spoke.

"Hello, this is Mrs Julie Davidson, I am Wintershore Univercity HeadMistres. I am happy to inform you, that your transfer papers with your grades from your previous school have been accepted and we are delighted to have you."

Wow my body froze, this did not feel real. I swallowed hard and turned my back on Dylan, walking further away from him so that he couldn't hear what was being said.

"Thank you for accepting me, I really appreciate it. My mother will be very happy when I tell her."

"I understand that you are finishing your last year in your previous school, it will be your first year here and I would like you to feel welcome as you have started a year behind your age group." She spoke softly.

"Yes I understand that will be happening and I will be happy to do that, as I understand the way everything is different in each country."

"Okay, now that I know you will be happy to attend, I will be sending over a pack of information about everything you need to know. I would also like for you to come and visit before the summer break starts."

"I understand that I will have to visit so that it is out of the way, before I start in September."

"I will attach information about the meeting inside the pack I will be sending over. Now do you have any questions?"

"I will be looking forward to the post to arrive and I do have one question, is the meeting for just one day or will this take longer?" I asked nervously.

"The meeting and the tour of the university will last over a two day period Miss Richardson. Will there be a problem?" She sounded stern.

I hope she doesn't turn out to be a horrible head mistress like Mr Niles.

"No there is no problem, I wanted to let my mum know about when this would take place."

"Like I said everything will be in the information pack I will be sending, as we need to sort out when the teachers will be free to see you upon your arrival. Take care and I will see you soon."

"Okay thank you, I look forward to meeting you Mrs Davidson. Goodbye."

I hung up, took a big breath in and walked back over to Dylan jumping into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He said brushing my hair away from my face.

I hesitated to answer him because I didn't know if I wanted to tell him now.

"Nothing I'm fine, I need to go home and speak to my mum about something."

"If you're sure about this then yeah I'll drive you back. Is it important?"

"Kind of but its not anything that you need to drive back like a crazy man about." I laughed.

We walked back to the car, I turned and had one last look at the view before getting into the car. He drove me back home, kissed me on my cheek and said he will talk to me later if I was free before pulling out the drive and driving back down the road we just come from.

I walked slowly up the porch steps. He did ask me what the phone call was about on the way back home but I pretended that I never heard him.

The door swung open and there she was, standing in the door frame with her hair in a loose bun.
