“You’re going to squish the chips!” She giggled as she returned the hug tightly. She then followed him into the kitchen and took the bottle of vodka out of her tote bag and placed it down on the table with a smile. “Figured you might need some.” She joked and sat down next to him, her eyes falling to the envelopes. “You know whatever happens you still have a great future ahead of you, right?” She placed a hand on his and gave it a squeeze. She could tell by the look on his face that he was really nervous, it was a thing she never witnessed with Hershey. He was always so confident. Looking down at the names of the schools she smiled. “Want to be close to home huh?” She rested her head on his shoulder. “Good cause I would miss you.” She kissed his cheek and opened the bottle. “Okay, what are we waiting for? Open one!”
“Oops, sorry!” he said, slowly pulling away after a few seconds. “Come on then.” he said, gesturing for her to come in and into the kitchen. He grinned when he saw her put down the vodka. “You know me so well.” he said, a smile evident in his voice. He nodded nervously, gulping as he looked down at the envelopes. ”I know, I just really want to get in.” He admitted. It was something he did want as he wanted a good future and not to be just like his Mom, living off her parents money. “Of course I wanna be near home, I have too many people to leave behind.” The corners of his lips turned up into a smile as he felt her press a kiss to his cheek. “Okay, Okay. I’ll open Ohio state university as that’s the one I want the least.” Nervously, he picked up the envelope and began to open it. Pulling out the letter, he slowly read the words before letting out a big breath. “I got in.”
