April's POV

It had been one year since 3 things had happened that changed my 18-year-old life. One, my worst enemy and brother, Chad, went to Dartmouth College. Two, my gaurdian angel, Jake, went to Standford. Three, the love of my life, Fernando, went to Oklahoma University, breaking my heart.

Little did I know, what would really change my life, was yet to happen.

Ana and I sent our applications together, we did four of the same, and one different. Oklahoma University, Stanford University, Juliard University, Princeton University and Harvard University. Ana did all the same except Dartmouth University instead of Oklahoma and Yale instead of Juliard.

Today was the day that everyone left in Bleeding Hearts had gotten the letters back and we were meeting in the tree house to see where we were going to college.

Ana and I gathered up our letters and headed over. My hands were trembling. My phone pinged and I checked it quickly. 2 new texts.

Hey sis, good luck today and tell me where you're going soon! Was the text from Jake.

You can always talk to me April. Was the text from Fernando.

Once we were all seated around the little kitchen area we each pulled out a stack of letters.

"Okay, everyone pick their first letter!" Vada announced.

I picked the one from Oklahoma University up and ripped it open.

I am delighted to inform you that the Committee on Admissions and Financial Aid has voted to offer you a place in the Oklahoma University Class of 2013. Following an old Oklahoma University tradition, a certificate of admission is enclosed. Please accept my personal congratulations for your outstanding achievements.

I beamed and looked around quickly putting a poker face back on.

"I got into Harvard!" Vada cheered.

"I got into Stanford!" Adrian replied.

"I was rejected from Yale," Riley shrugged.

Ana bit her lip, "I was rejected from Dartmouth."

"I got into Oklahoma!" I said timidly.

"Next letter!" Adrian suggested hurriedly.

I grabbed Harvard next.

I scanned over the letter and I felt a lump in my throat.

Dear Miss Dickson,

I am very sorry to inform you that it is not possible to offer you admission to the Class of 2013. I wish I were writing to report a different decision, but the competition was so rigorous this year that there were many outstanding young men and women to whom we could not offer places in the class.

Over twenty-seven thousand students, a record number, applied to the entering class. The great majority of the applicants could certainly have been successful here academically, and most candidates presented strong personal and extracurricular credentials as well. The Committee was, therefore, faced with the necessity of choosing a class from a great many more talented and highly qualified students than it had room to admit.

We wish it were possible for us to admit more of our fine applicants, and we understand how difficult the college application process can be for students and their families. While the Committee conducted its deliberations with the utmost care, we know that no one can predict with certainty what an individual will accomplish during college or beyond. Past experience suggests that the particular college a student attends is far less important than what the student does to develop his or her strengths and talents over the next four years.

We very much appreciate the interest you have shown in Harvard College. We hope that you will accept the best wishes of the Committee for success in all your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

William R. Fitzsimmons
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid

It went on like that. I was accepted into Julliard and Princeton. Rejected from Stanford.

Ana was accepted into all of hers except Dartmouth.

Riley was accepted into Stanford.

Adrian and Vada were already accepted into their dream colleges.

Ana fuffiled her dream of attentding Harvard.

And I. I was lost. Hopelessly lost.

~~** TIME BREAK **~~

Finally, I decided to call my brother. Chad.

Didn't expect that, did you?

ooooh cliffie... soo, tell me what you think and if i should continue! if you want your oc in this, tell me who and what college they want to go to!
