By getting our acceptance letters soon I didn't mean the next day! We are waiting till after school to open them, since we got them this morning from the box. I'm really nervous about what mine says. I still applied to Julliard like they did but I changed my major. A certain girlfriend of mine helped me realize i got the potential to do something more.
I am currently alone in the library with Rachels. We aren't allowed to have our own or open someone else's. It nerve wracking! I just wanna see if she got in or not! Rachel and I aren't the closest out of the 4 but we still are close.
Surprisingly the closest to her is actually Santana. Brittany and her are innocent and all but they don't get along sometimes. I think it's cause they are so alike. Santana and Rachel got closer with their mindless wobbling and bubbles. It's not my fault I can't always blow one!
"You doing ok?" I look up and see a smiling Jesse "You look like your cat died"
"Just scared about if we all made it into Julliard" Jesse chuckles and sits beside me "What?"
"I can't imagine you four not getting in" He smiles genuinely at me "You are a very intelligent girl and so are they....Brittany is intelligent in some other ways but still smart!"
"Thanks Jesse" I sigh and hand him the letter "Can you take this to Shelby? I don't wanna risk opening it"
He takes the envelope and nods "I'll get it to her right now" He stands up and smiles at me again "You'll get in"
He walks away and I sigh. I wish i had his confidence in myself. Maybe I would still have Jasmine as a full friend of mine. I really need to fix things.....Maybe I should talk to her. First I gotta find where she is.
-Santana pov-
I'm looking at Lucy's application nervously. I feel like it's a baby in my hands that I'm gonna drop! Hers seems to be bulkier than the others were...what's in this thing? I look at the Bunsen burner beside me then back at the envelope. If I can get steam I could open and close it.
"There you are" I look up and see Kurt walking towards me "Still on suspension"
"Sorry about that" He shrugs and looks at my hands "What?"
"Julliard I see" He walks closer "I applied there too! I got mine a few days back and got accepted!"
"Congrats!" I give him a sincere smile and then look back at the envelope "This is Lucy's though"
He chuckles "I could tell by the name" I flip it and see her name on it "You really wanna read it don't ya?"
"I do" I sigh and set the envelope down "But i can't"
"I understand" He puts a hand on mine "You're doing the right thing not reading it"
I look up at him and smile "Thanks" I pick up the envelope and hand it to him "Take it to the moms?"
"It would be an honor" We both chuckle "I'll get this to one of them"
We share a hug and then he leaves. I sigh but this time in relief. Who knew a envelope could be so stressful? I see Lucy pass by the rooms door suspiciously and narrow my eyes. I have a blonde to tail.
-Brittany pov-
Why would they trust me with S's letter?!?! I am currently sitting in a ball by the entrance. It's a place everyone can see me. They can see me in my mental breakdown. I feel like I'm going insane! I'm not stupid and I never have been. I understand what this letter means.
I played stupid so people didn't suspect things of me. Teachers don't question the dumb girl and expect it to be right. I sigh and look at the envelope again. This thing is EVIL! I hear footsteps and see Tina walking toward me.
"Hey" she stops and looks at me worriedly "Are you ok?"
"They want me not to open this letter" I show it to Tina "It's the acceptance letter to Julliard"
"I see that" Tina comes over and sits beside me "You wanna read it don't you?"
I frown and nod "We all wanna get in together" I sigh and shake my head "If one of us don't get in I'm afraid of what will happen"
"You need to calm down" Tina starts rubbing circles on my back "Stress isn't good for you"
"I o" I lay my head on her shoulder "Il ou ake t?"
"Of course" She smiles and grabs the envelope "Why don't we go find your mommies?"
I nod and follow her but we both stop when Lucy rushes past followed by Santana. This cant be good. I look at Tina who seems to be thinking the same thing. She surprises me when she picks me up and carries me after them. She feels nice to cuddle into.
-Rachel pov-
Why would they give us the other ones envelope? We could've just kept our own and not opened them. More importantly why do I have Brittany's? We may have been the first together but we are also the first to fight. I sigh and look at the letter. I can't open this even if i wanted to. It would be wrong to.
"Knock knock" I look up to see Blaine and Jasmine "How are you?"
"Shouldn't you be at Dalton and you avoiding Lucy?" She shrugs and he does too soon after "You need something?"
"Only your voice" They come up beside me to the piano "Know any good songs?"
"One" He wiggles his eyebrows causing Jasmine and me to laugh "Chill out I'm lesbian remember?"
We all laugh and I start playing the song that came to my head.
-Rachel-Blaine-Jasmine-All three-
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
La, la, la, di, dee, da
La, la, di, dee, da, da, dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Oh, la, la, la, di, dee, da
La, la, di, dee, da, da, dum
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feelin' alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "man, what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la, la, la, di, dee, da
La, la, di, dee, da, da, dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
"That was AMAZING!" Jasmine claps and has a huge smile on her face "I wanna do that again!"
"I can't" I hold the envelope up "I'm gonna take this to my mom"
"I can do that" Blaine smiles and holds his hand out "I have to stop by the office anyways"
I hand it to him trusting him to get it where it needs to go. As he starts to get off the stage Lucy barges in followed by Santana and Brittany carried by Tina. Tina hands him something and he nods. I look at them with narrowed eyes till Lucy brings me back to her.
"Please speak to me again!" I see real tears start to fall down Lucy's face "Life sucks without my best friend in it! I know I hurt you with that I said and I know I can't take it back! But...please...can you let me back in?"
"OH!" Jasmine runs at Lucy and pulls her into a hug "How can I stay made at little Lucy?"
Lucy hugs her back and starts crying. I smile at the friends getting back together. I'm glad Jasmine forgave her. Maybe not so quickly but they had gotten close. I could see it was killing both of them. I feel my tummy grumble and pout.
"Is Rachy Hungry?" I nod and Jasmine picks me up "Why don't we go see the moms and get you some food?"
I smile and nod at the suggestion. She carries me as we got to the office. Once we get there I see everyone already inside and I get confused. I see Madison holding the envelopes and smiling. All of the moms are smiling. What is going on?
"I see you all didn't open the envelopes" Mommy comes up and gets me out of Jasmines arms "We are so proud of all of you!"
"We were testing you all and you passed" I finally notice our whole family is in the small office "So why don't we open them?"
I get handed my envelope and look at mommy. I can't open this right now! I WAS PROMISED FOOD! I pout and mommy laughs. How dare she laugh at my pouting on not getting food! This woman is EVIL!
"I'll open it for you" She sits us down and opens it "Look!"
I smile at the words 'You've been accepted' on the paper. I MADE IT! I'm going to be going to Juilliard! I AM GOING TO COLLEGE! I look and see Santana smiling with Maribel. To my right Brittany is smiling with Madison and Emma holding her. I look to my left to see a blank faced Lucy.
-Lucy pov-
'You have been accepted to dual class playwriting and performance!'
That's the first sentence i can't get passed. I'm in a state of shock and I know my mom is too. I look at her and see her jaw dropped. She looks at me and we both scream! I GOT IN FOR BOTH PROGRAMS! I can perform on Broadway and write for Broadway! I look at everyone and see them all relaxing. I must have looked like I got rejected.
"So since it seems everyone got in" Kurt claps his hands and unveils a big cake "I think a celebratory cake is in order!"
I clap and we all slowly get a piece of cake to eat. Today has been a great day! I got accepted with my girlfriends and I can't believe it! I notice more papers on the desk and two gifts. I look at the tag more and gasp.
"Are you ok?" I nod and my mom looks at me confused "What?"
I point and she looks before gasping. Soon everyone is looking and Maribel nervously chuckles. We all look at her and she slowly stands up. She takes a deep breath before speaking.
"So as you can see on the present tags that they say happy adoption" Maribel looks at Grace "I talked it out and got the papers...You have been adopted by me!"
Grace launches up and hugs her "She's not the only one" We all look at Emma who smiles "Samantha has been adopted by me as well!"
"Really?" Emma nods and Samantha runs to her. Samantha wraps her arms around Emma sobbing "T-thank you!"
"No problem at all sweetie" Emma grabs one of the gifts and hands it to her "Here you go"
Sam opens it and reveals a heart necklace. She hugs Emma again and we all clap. Grace gets hers and its a moon necklace. Santana holds up her star bracelet and Maribel shows her sun earrings. We all cheer at the happy sights.
Things really can be alright and happy for us. I'm starting to enjoy this change of luck. I hope it lasts.
