"Koschei! Koschei! Koschei!" Theta banged on Koschei's dorm-room door. "Open the damn door!"
Koschei yawned as he did so, quickly noting the stray tears that ran down Theta's cheeks contrasted with the huge grin on his face, "Theta? Is everything all right?"
Theta nodded enthusiastically, "Everything is brilliant, Koschei! Brilliant!"
Koschei instantly stopped worrying and watched Theta carefully, finding his smile contagious and smiling back, "So are you going to tell me why everything is so brilliant?"
"Because! Because! Because! I… Rassilon, Koschei, I can't believe this!" Theta replied, leaving Koschei no less confused that he was previous.
"What, Theta, whaaat?" Koschei pressed.
"I've been dreading today so much and now, everything's all right! I did it, Koschei, I did it!" he pulled his phone out of the pocket and pressed a few buttons before waving it in Koschei's face. "I actually did it!"
Koschei couldn't help but laugh, "Theta, if you want me to read that you're gonna have to hold it still. Or better yet, give it here," he took the phone off Theta and read the message he had open
CONGRATULATIONS! We are delighted to confirm your place at the Academy. We look forward to seeing you next term!
Koschei's face broke into a grin and he threw his arms around Theta, "This is fantastic! What did you get exactly?"
"I… don't know," Theta admitted and laughed. "I was too excited by the text that I haven't actually gone to get my actual results."
Koschei rolled his eyes, still smiling, "That is so typical of you. C'mon, assembly hall."
Theta took Koschei's hand with one of his hands and took the phone back with his other. As they walked to the assembly hall, Theta was too busy rereading and rereading the text to make sure it was real and that what it said wasn't going to change that he wasn't watching where he was going. More than once Koschei had to pull him out of the way of passing students. All around them was mixed emotions regarding the results achieved and it made Koschei glad he had got his two weeks previous.
"What grades did you need?" Koschei asked.
"CCD," Theta replied instantly, still staring at his phone. He managed to talk himself into putting the phone away – after he forwarded the text to his Dad – and looked at Koschei, "I was so sure I had blew it. I was so sure there was no way I could've done it. I didn't do enough revision, I blanked on one of the exams. How is this happening?"
Koschei grinned at him, "You need to stop putting yourself down and start listening to me when I say you can do something."
"Yeah but it made sense, it made perfect sense that I hadn't got it, there was no way. I mean, I messed up the mock in one, I had to retake before in another."
"Theta, stop trying to make sense of it and go get your envelope," Koschei told him, making Theta realise they had reached the assembly hall.
Theta quickly went to the table marked S-U, told them his name and showed his ID. Just a moment later his envelope was passed to him, "I know I've passed, I know I've got in. Hell, I know what's written in this envelope. So why the hell am I still nervous?"
"It's understandable. Open it!" Koschei replied.
Theta ripped the envelope open and pulled the sheet out. The second he did a few tears fell down his face, "No. Way," he whispered, almost silently in disbelief.
Beside him Koschei was watching him anxiously, "What is it?" he asked, "Show me."
Shakily Theta passed the sheet over to Koschei.

"Oh, my god! Theta, I'm so happy for you," Koschei told him and kissed him, right there in the sports hall.
Theta was too shocked to respond much, he was shaking slightly, "This can't be real…"
"It is, Theta, it's really real."
Theta just stared at him, "I'm going to the Academy. With you. We're going to the Academy! I did it! I got a grade higher than I needed in everything! I can't believe this."
Koschei just smiled, "Believe it. It's real. I'm so proud of you." And that time when he kissed Theta, Theta got over his shock and returned the kiss.
Izzy asked me to update when I got my results… So here's the update! EEEEEEEEEEP! :D :D :D
