Chapter 3: Hunter Street
"You've been staring at the window all day Tess you didn't even have breakfast this morning," Eric said to his slightly emo daughter.
"Am waiting for the mail man to arrive," Tess said. "You should try to relax a bit," Jake tried to soothe her.
"You're not worried? Does that mean I should be more worried?" she queried. "Calm down Tess, I believe you both will get into that H.A.U.," Kate said calmly.
"Yeah your poems were awesome and Jake's comic books were great," Anika piped. "Good thing they allowed any form of art to be used for the application for admission," Jake sighed.
"Yeah, you can't sing," Sal spoke, finally looking up from his laptop.
Jake spluttered, "I... I'm actually a great singer." "Oh yeah? Sing for us," Evie piped up. "Yes sing," Anika joined in.
Soon the room was filled with chants of "sing! Sing!" Jake cleared his throat, "um I would love to but you see Uh... I have a bit of a cough so I can't right now."
"Sure..." Max said with a smile. The doorbell rang. "Hello I have a package for Tess and Jake Hunter," the mail man said after Anika opened the door.
"I'll take that thanks," Anika said in her usual bubbly voice as Kate signed for the package.
Anika placed it on the dining table and they all gathered around the table. "Well, are you going to stare at it all day or are you going to open it?" Eric asked.
"I'll open it," Anika said. "Be careful," Tess and Jake chorused.
She opened the package, in it was two T-shirts with the H.A.U. logo on them and a smaller envelope containing a letter.
Jake read, "Dear Jacob and Theresa Hunter, you have been accepted into Hollywood Arts University!" The room burst into a series of shrieks and whoops.
"I can't believe it," Tess said finally. "Well I can. I've always believed in all of you and your talents," Kate said with a smile.
"When are you guys leaving then?" Sal asked. "It says here, classes resume in September," Jake answered.
"That's two months away. So we still enough time to get ready," he added.
