Chapter Nineteen
I replayed my best attributes and long-term goals in my mind like a monologue as I anxiously sat in the passenger seat of Lucaâs truck. Selling myself had never been my strength. Iâd never really had to because most things I committed to were performance based like soccer, but it was imperative that I said all the right things at this interview we were headed to at Columbia.
Luca glanced over at me while he was driving, taking my left hand to offer me some comfort. âYouâre gonna do great, baby. Stop stressing yourself out.â
âEasier said than done.â I exhaled sharply, gazing out of the passenger side window. âYou know Iâm an overthinker.â
âI know you are, but I guarantee you theyâre gonna see what I see.â He raised my hand to his lips and gently kissed it. âTheyâll have no choice but to see how amazing you are. His confidence in me outweighed my own and actually added to my nervousness. I knew Columbia was his first choice, so if I totally bombed the interview, weâd have no chance of going to college together. The stress of that was weighing me down, along with the awkward passes Tony Rossi was making at me and the insight Uncle Angelo had given me surrounding the mystery of my father.
I studied Luca as he held his usual relaxed driving stance with his left hand at the top of the steering wheel. How the hell is he so calm when this is a life-changing event? One interview can be the difference between a fulfilling career or just working odd jobs forever. I knew I definitely didnât want to end up like my mother, relying on wealthy people to live a comfortable life.
âYouâre going to bore a hole in my head if you keep staring at me like that.â Luca broke the silence while he continued to focus on the road ahead.
âSorry.â I snapped myself out of it by shaking my head. âIâm just a nervous wreck.â
âWeâre almost there.â He offered me a reassuring smile while shaking the tension from my hand. âIâm sure youâll feel a hundred times better when itâs over. Just give it your best. Thatâs all you can do.â
As we walked into the admissions building, I could feel my knees buckling beneath me. We checked in with the receptionist and were sent to the waiting room where my nerves had noticeably increased. I observed the other applicants who sat around the room, many of them just reading while they waited to be called.
Luca sat to my right, scrolling through his social media apps like this was just an everyday occurrence. I deeply envied how cool and collected he was while I was literally shaking like a leaf. It was a miracle that I wasnât drawing attention to myself from the vibrating of my chair against the tiled floors.
A man with a clipboard entered the room, calling another studentâs name. My heart sank into my chest like I had just been given some bad news.
