Every Sunday until finals, I was at Uncle Griff’s apartment. For lunch, we’d have hamburgers and fries, then he went out with a couple of friends. Benny would come over in the early evening with a couple of snacks, and even though I wanted to take the snacks from him and tell him to go, he said he didn’t buy all of it for me. So we studied together until Uncle Griff came home and caught us in the middle of our make-out session on his leather sofa.

That morning when I wrote the most important exam ever was weird. The AP Physics exam itself was quite challenging, but I managed to get through it. The second part I struggled a bit since it was long answers and problem-solving. The bell rang, and that’s when I realized the three hours went by so fast. I was the last to hand my paper in, and when I looked up, Benny was out of the room. I was about to catch up to him, but Carter told me that he had a meeting. So I followed Carter out of the classroom and caught up with our friends. I hadn’t spoken to any of them except Carter this morning before the exam because I had to ask him a few things. They stood with blank looks on their faces. I bit the inside of my cheek then rocked back and forth.

“Listen, guys, I’m sorry about the other night. I was just really…stressed and worried,” I mumbled then pushed up my glasses. I avoided my friends up until finals. Sometimes even my boyfriend. “I didn’t mean to take it out on any of you.”

I looked at them because I realized no one would talk. I turned to Aidan, who looked at everyone as if he waited for them to speak.

“It’s cool, Lana,” he said. “We got drunk anyway and forgot, but thanks for the reminder.”

“It’s okay. It’s just we all have our own way of coping, Lana,” Nick stated.

“I know, and I’m sorry. I know that you don’t wanna talk about it,” I said then looked down. “I don’t, either.”

From there we quietly walked, yet I trailed behind. I spun around to see Benny run toward me. The sleeves of his blue flannel bounced as he ran, and I laughed. He stopped, wrapped his arms around my waist, picked me up, then spun me around.

“What’s up with you?” I laughed.

“I got in.” He smiled. “I got into Boston.”

My eyes widened when his face lit up. I squealed then wrapped my arms around him.

“Congratulations!”

“Thanks, Nick told me he got in last week,” he said then bit his lip.

“That’s amazing,” I said then kissed his cheek.

“Yeah, one of the scouts were at Friday’s game, and that’s when they made their final decision,” he said then hugged me again.

“Now it’s just you and Yale, which you’re going to get into, Lana, then it’s us against the world.” I smiled. The bell rang, and everyone crowded the halls again. Benny placed a hand on my shoulder then looked down at me.
