Temptation

Chapter 82

Beth's POV

I hate when he is like this. Just a couple seconds ago he started..or tried to pick a small fight with me for asking a simple question. The last thing I need to do right now is get him angry at me. He won't make eye contact with me as his eyes focus at the blank wall in front of him.

"Your mum must have changed your mailing address." He still doesn't look at me. "Letters are in the kitchen."

Part of me doesn't even want to go and read those letters but my legs talk for me when They make there way into the kitchen.

Two envelopes sit there, unopened as I walk close to them. I don't hear harry making his way into the kitchen and I know he is mad. I let out a deep sigh and open the envelope to NYU, my throat is dry and my brain can only think of the negative reactions I could have gotten from this.

I rush to take the piece of paper out and the envelope slips to the floor. I don't even bother to pick it up when I start to read.

New York University

Miss Collins,

The administrations committee has carefully reviewed your application to The University of New York. After much consideration, I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to offer you a place for the class of 2018.

The paper falls to my feet along with the envelope. My throat seems to be closing and my breath gets heavier and heavier as I grab the second letter. I rip it open faster, letting this envelope fall to the floor as well,

PENN State University

Dear miss Collins,

After a very careful review of your application with the administrating committee, we have come to a regretful decision that we will not be able to accept you into the freshman class starting in September. You are one of thousands who-

I can't even finish it, I let go over the paper letting fly away across the room with the other papers. Hot streams flow down my face and I sit down on the kitchen chair. I bring my face into my hands and silently cry to myself, not wanting harry to hear me.

I thought I wouldn't have to worry about this happening to me. Never have I ever had to worry about not getting accepted into a school because I knew that I worked hard. I know that my grades were perfect and I never failed a test in my life. But this happened and it's not making any sense to me at the moment. I stopped going to high school for a couple reasons but the main one being I didn't really need to attend anymore. I got my diploma and could start applying to schools. And to which I did, turned out horribly wrong for me in the end. When I decided to go through with the early graduation I thought that everything will start to turn around again. Maybe, just maybe I could have met some new people and have a roommate and have my mom complain to get me another room because she was too destructive. I've had dreams of visiting back here for holidays or whenever I missed harry too much.

Those hopes and dreams are gone now.

It takes me a while to realize why I wasn't excepted. After realizing how perfect my grades are, and how I sent applications in extra early and not late.. There's only one reason I wasn't excepted.

Background checks.

I bet these schools make background checks of their students and they must have seen something that didn't put a sparkle in their eyes.

My whole life is just..it's like it's over. I won't be able to do anything with this so called reputation it looks that I have.

I get out of the chair quickly and wipe the tears from my face.
