At school things had been getting crazy the past months with finals and such but ecspecially for us seniors. I mean most of us spent our whole lives here and went to school in this town and grew up here, made bestfriends here, so much has happened here and most of us, were going away....
Our SAT scores came back and Luke and I were both happy with our results. I took a lot of catching up but finally I managed to keep my head above the waters and ended up acing everything. I had a 4.0 GPA and that made me super proud considering what I had been through this year.
Luke and I walked through my front door to both our moms were sitting down, drinking coffee and talking.
“Whats up?” asked grabbing a bottle of water for me and a soda for Luke.
“You both have mail.” Liz said handing out us two envelopes from Staley University, which we both applied to a few months ago.
“Well go on, open them!!”
“On three.” Luke said and we turned our backs to each other.
“one, two and THREE!”
We ripped the letter open and scanned through it.
“Holy shit.” I whispered.
“Oh my god.” Luke said, shock in his voice.
We both turned around and faced each other.
We traded and read eachotheres.
“WE MADE IT!!” Luke yelled picking me and spinning me around.
Our moms looked at us smiling their wide smiled and hugging us both.
“They want me to start the fall semester this coming year.” I said.
“They want me to start than too.” He smiled. “Wow okay, so we both already visited the campus and everything….What are you doing again?”
“Im majoring in English and minoring in creative writing and communications and education.” I said. “You?”
“Majoring in Classics, the ancient Greek and such, minoring in education and history.”
“Hey maybe we will get a class together for the Education one.”
“Ooh! That would be really amazing!”
I always loved teaching and reading and writing and I think teaching older kids, like middle or high scholars would be really neat, so yes, I want to be an English teacher. Luke has a thing for social studies and debate, those were his stronger classes. Naturally, he choose to be a History teacher,
“I’ve been thinking.” I said sitting up on my bed.
“About what?” Luke smiled trying to pull me back down which I refused so he as well sat up.
“My biological parents.” I responded.
“Shel…”
“I mean, we haven’t talked about this sience that note came up but, we need to.”
“Now?” He asked.
“Yeah, kinda.” I wishpered looking down because he sounded annoyed.
“Do you want me to help?” He asked taking my hand.
“Only if you want to, I mean you don’t have to…never mind its fine I’ll just ask Michael or something….”
“Shelby.” Luke said sternly.
“Yeah?”
“You know, I do want to help you out.” Luke said as I climed into his lap and rested my head on his chest.
“Really? Are you sure?” I asked, still worried.
“Of course. Hey Im sending out a group text to the boys so they can help decide what to do.” Luke said pulling out his phone. I ended up falling asleep to the sound of his gentle heartbeat.
An hour latter Luke and I were awoken by car doors shutting and the sound of my mom.
I came down stairs to find Calum and my mom talking like old friends.
“Yeah, my mom makes her fried chicken the same way.”
“Really? I thought only I did that?” She asked sarcasticly taking the chicken, dipping it in the egg than rolling it around in the flour and finally putting it on the stove.
“My mom thought she was the only one too!!”
Oh Calum, sweet Calum.
“Hi mom!” I smiled.
“Hey sweetheart. You going out?”
“Um were gonna hang out here than go grab a bite to eat, that okay?”I asked.
“Yes, sounds good. Can you spend the night at Luke’s or have him stay here because remember, Im heading out of town for a week for that meeting.”
“Yes, Liz said it doesn’t matter to her as long as we both get to school.”
“Alrighty than. I leave at 7 tomrrow.”
“Okay. Ill be upstairs. Ill text you when we leave.”
“Sounds good.”
“Hey guys!” I said walking upstairs into my room where Calum and Michael already had FIFA going. Ashton was talking with Luke about collage while playing tug O’ War with Promise. They all turned around and gave me a big smile.
“Hey Shelbae!” Ashton smiled. “Luke you need to call her that from now on because its, shelBAE, and her names Shelby and shes your bae!”
“How long have you been waiting to tell us that one?” I joked.
“Only 2 days.” He laughed along with us and Luke pushed him and called him an idiot.
“You are all the idiots.” I laughed.
“Hey boys text the girls!” I said.
“Why?” Calum asked.
I got a smile on my face and said, “Because Calum tonight were gonna go and spend the weekend at the cabin.”
