Rejected!

You look down, reading the fine lettering. "Dearest Morgan..." . "Get on with it", you mutter

"We regret to inform you that you have been rejected from Ravenswood college. You are more than welcome to apply at a future date, but as it stands, we had the most competitive turnout we have ever had this year and we were unable to offer you a spot at our regal institute...

Best of wishes,

The Deans Office"

Your heart drops. You feel a pit in your stomach as your hand crumples the paper. You feel your legs turn as you begin to head back upstairs. "Hun? Did you get rejected again...? I know you wanted to go there but I'm sure they were just..." you barely hear your mom trying to comfort you.

You slide back into your room feeling the weight of the world crushing down on you. You head over to the whiteboard next to your door. Multiple college names have been roughly crossed out and you look at the bottom of the list. "Ravenswood" stands stoic among the red marker hashmarks. You pick up the red marker and uncap it. You roughly cross off Ravenswood from the list. You try to look for a name after Ravenswood and see nothing. Nothing. Holy fuck, I blew it didn't I? You feel tears beginning to stream out of your face as you shamble to your bed. You fall onto your bed feeling the comforting softness of large bulbus plushies poking you. You cry for what seems like hours before you fall asleep.
