Acceptance Letter
Double D can't help but pacing back and forth in the living room, hearing the clock taunting him with it's ticking, palms sweating as he looks up at the clock. It's only 9am but normally this is the time the postman comes. The anxious eighteen year old looks around to see if he can do anything to distract himself, but he basically done everything. He had a shower, ate breakfast, cleaned both living room and the kitchen and he still couldn't keep his mind off the letter he'll get. Suddenly, he hears the doorbell where he immediately got up and answer the door.
"Hey Double D." a familiar face with a raspy voice causes Double D to be disappointed as he looks up at his friend.
"Hi Eddy," he said with a sigh as Eddy barges in uninvited with Ed running, giving Edd a massive hug.
"Double D! Monster Marathon! Monster Marathon!" Ed screamed and drop him on the floor.
"Good morning Ed." Edd feels dizzy and slowly got up to face Eddy, looking comfortable on the sofa flipping through the channels. He can't believe how tall Eddy has grown, scarily looks like his older brother.
"Eddy, if you're going to be in my house, at least take off your shoes." Edd scold but Eddy's clearly not listening to him.
"Saturday morning and nothing is on telly. Not even a cartoon."
"Monster Marathon Eddy!" Ed shouted as he jumped on Eddy trying to get the remote.
"Get off me, you big lummox!" Double D is getting annoyed by his friends. He thinks that now they are eighteen they would be mature but he can't be even more wrong.
"Please gentlemen, now is not a good time. I'm currently expecting an important post." Eddy's eyes sparkle.
"An important post you say? Like a parcel? Or Cash?" Eddy said excitedly with dollar signs in his eyes.
"Or a brain of an alien zombie that can turn you into a mutant that likes to eat people's livers." Eddy and Double D just looks at Ed weirdly. Edd has noticed that Ed's imagination gets more bizarre by the day. The doorbell rang where Double D ran up to answer it where the postman has the letter he has been waiting for.
"It's here! It's here!" Double D is about to open the envelope carefully when Eddy swipe it out of his hands.
"Oh boy! Think of all the alcohol we can buy!" Eddy rips the envelope in half and is disappointed to see a folded up letter.
"Ugh. Boring!" Eddy just threw the letter onto the floor.
"Eddy!" Double D shouts as he picks up the letter and read,
"Dear Mr Eddward Vincent,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Columbia University where you'll be studying Science of Medicine. The next page is a list of textbooks you need for the whole year. Your 1st term starts on Sept 5th where you come to the assembly hall at 11am for an introductory fair to meet your teachers and peers.
Congratulations and we're looking forward to meeting you.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr William Ambrose
Principle at University of Columbia.
"I got accepted! I actually got accepted!" Edd looks at the letter with his eyes glistening from tears.
"I can't believe it, I am going to University! This shall be a start of my future." He hugs the letter to his chest, missing the angry expression on Eddy's face.
"You're leaving!? For University!?" Edd is shocked by Eddy's sudden outburst.
"Well of course, to further my education as a doctor which is my dream job. You don't think I'm going to stay here for the rest of my life, do you?"
"Yes! So we can go and do scams together! Run our own business! We're the Eds!" Edd is not happy that Eddy is not supporting his decision.
"That's not the life I want Eddy! That's your life! My life is going to a different place, enhance my mind with knowledge and finding ways to help people. Not being your underling for your rundown scams that no one cares about!" Eddy's face goes red with anger and Ed is starting to get scared with from the fight and sneaks outside.
"Oh is that so? So you think you're too smart for being my friend huh? That we are just holding you back?"
"Well, I don't want to put it that way but yes Eddy, especially that you're not supporting me at all!"
"Yeah, well I don't support traitors," Eddy said darkly, "So what's it going to be? University or me?" Double D stays silent and just look at his acceptance letter then sternly stare back at his ex-friend.
"Fine. We don't need you anyway. Have fun with your new life." Eddy walks out and slams the door close, Double D couldn't hold it in and burst out crying.
"Let's go lumpy. Let's leave the traitor." Eddy walks away when he noticed Ed isn't walking with him. He looks back to see Ed still by Edd's door.
"Come on Ed!" Ed looks back with confliction.
"Actually Eddy, Double D isn't the only one who is leaving." Eddy gives him a very stern look.
"Who?" Ed points at himself.
"Me."
"What!?"
"Yep. Fine Arts College where I will be studying Illustration and Animation." Eddy storms over, getting madder by the second, jabbing his finger at Ed's chest.
"How did you of all people got into college!? I'm way smarter than you!"
"They invited me over to look at my drawings and, well, they liked them, so they accepted me."
Eddy is breathing heavily from anger like a rampaging bull. Ed tries to calm him down,
"Look Eddy, just because we're leaving doesn't mean we can't be friends. Plus, I'm leaving way later than Double D so I can still hang out with you."
"SHUT UP ED!" You want to leave and be a traitor like that asshole. Fine, but that means we will never be friends. Ever!" Ed watches Eddy walk away feeling his heart crack that this friendship has ended. Now he knows how Double D feels. He walks back into the house, hoping to cheer himself and his friend up with a monster marathon.
"Cheers!" three glasses clink together from Kevin, Nazz and Rolf, drinking and laughing together.
"Rolf wants to give you a full congratulations by giving you an armpit rub." Kevin is used to Rolf's strange customs and let it happen.
"By the way, why didn't the others come? Not that just having the two of us isn't nice, it is but I'm hoping to see everyone." Kevin said as Rolf stopped what he's doing and shared a worried look with Nazz.
"Well, Johnny had to go see a therapist quite abruptly which concerns Rolf." Rolf said sadly
"and Sarah's mum is taking her to see Jimmy at the hospital." Nazz continue in a sombre tone.
"Oh right. I hope he's ok. Will he be ok?" Nazz touches his arm.
"Yesm he will be Kevin. Let's enjoy your achievement." Nazz comfortingly said to Kevin. He reaches out and grabs his acceptance letter.
"Right. Here it is, from Columbia University all thanks to my sports scholarship. Which means playing football with the pros, tons of parties and most importantly, NO DORKS!" Kevin laughed as Rolf sighs,
"Ah yes. Lucky good looking jock but for Rolf it's endless scams while I break my back over farm work, which reminds Rolf, my dear Nana needs Rolf to do chores for her. See ya!" Rolf walks off, waving bye to his friends.
"See ya later Rolf." Nazz waves back. She continues drinking when Kevin slung his arm over Nazz's shoulders.
"So it's just you and me, sweetheart. So how about a celebratory make out sess?" Kevin leans in to kiss but Nazz pushes him away.
"Hang on Kev, we need to talk." Kevin can tell that statement doesn't sit right with him. He puts his arm down to give her space.
"Ok, what do you want to talk about?" Nazz just sighed, trying to think of words to say.
"Listen, I don't know how to put this nicely, but I think we should break up." Kevin is stunned, he felt like it's sudden.
"Break up?" Kevin's voice cracked.
"But we're going to the same Uni, right?" Nazz gives out another sigh.
"Actually no, I got rejected but I got accepted into Fine Arts College which is in Chicago. That's thirteen hours apart!" Kevin still can't believe what he is hearing, hoping he can change her mind.
"Yeah, but we can still make it work. I know we can." Kevin grabs her hands but she just pulls them away.
"No we can't, Kev. You said so yourself that you'll go to tons of parties and tons of parties means tons of girls. You'll be with other girls and you will forget about me." Kevin shakes his head,
"No I won't."
"Yes you will, especially in a city that never sleeps."When she feels like nothing's need to be said, she gets up and walk out the door. As Kevin hears the door close, he scrunches up his acceptance letter into a ball threw it on the floor and bury his head in his hands. He wouldn't think this would affect his relationship with his best friend and childhood sweetheart.
"Maybe going to New York is not a good idea." he muttered to himself when his mobile played a little jingle, he picks up his Iphone to see the message from a number he doesn't recognize.
"Hey asshole,
Just heard you got accepted into Columbia University. The same uni as me! And don't worry about accommodation, I have a spare bedroom you can use.
See you soon loser!
Your sexiest Cousin, Nat ;)
May Kanker is sitting on her bed holding a sealed envelope that's addressed to her. Her hands shaking from the nerves. She knows exactly what this is but when she turns it over, she sees the address of the University that just hits her. It all feels too real. She takes a deep breath and slowly open the letter and reads it carefully.
"Dear Miss May Kanker,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Columbia University where you'll be studying Drama and Theatre Studies. The next page is a list of textbooks you need for the whole year. Your 1st term starts on Sept 5th where you come to the assembly hall at 11am for an introductory fair to meet your teachers and peers.
Congratulations and we're looking forward to meeting you.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr William Ambrose
Principle at University of Columbia.
May can feel happy tears welling up. After working so hard to prove to herself she can do it, and now has an acceptance letter to prove it. To University. In New York. The Big City. Even though she is seeing it in black and white she still couldn't believe it, but she can't help but worry what her sisters will think of the news.
"May! Come clean the dishes would ya!? My nails are drying!" the raspy voice of he eldest sister made her jump,
"Alright! I'm coming Lee!" May stuff her letter in her pocket and walk out towards the kitchen.
"There you are! What took you so long?" May decides to ignore her and just start the dishes.
"I said, what took you so long May!?" May is getting annoyed at hearing her voice.
"None of your business!" Lee got up and stomp over to May,
"Don't use that tone with me! As your eldest who's working two jobs for you and Marie, I have the right to know what your business is!" May just continues doing the dishes while Lee stares her down, then something caught her eye, a piece of paper sticking out of May's pocket. She snatches it out.
"Hey! Give that back! Lee holds it up so May can't reach it and then kicks her down.
"Oooooo! What is it? A love letter?" Lee cackled mockingly but her smile slowly falls as she reads the contents of the letter.
"What is this?" May got up and brush herself down before snatching her letter back.
"I think it's self explanatory. It's an acceptance letter." May said calmly as Lee crosses her arms.
"Oh yeah? And who's going to pay for it? Because it isn't going to be me." They hear Marie walk in with a shock look on her face. May gives out a massive sigh,
"My dad and I have been in contact, I even went to visit him a couple of times. I told him I want to go to college and he supports me by making me a college funds for me." Lee is grinding her teeth while Marie is smiling.
"May! That's awesome! Congratulations!" she shouts excitedly as she runs over to her younger sister and give her a massive hug.
"What!? You don't support this, do you!?" Marie turns to face Lee.
"Well yeah, considering I'm going to college too." Marie says nonchalantly and continues to hug May.
"And how can YOU afford college!?" Marie turns around with an annoyed look on her face.
"I worked with my dad in the garage and manage to save up." Lee is not amused. Both of her sisters went to see their dads behind her back and now they're leaving her.
"And what are you going to do Marie?"
"Painting." Lee burst out laughing, like Marie had told a funny joke. She's laughing so hard, she's kneeling on the floor.
"And then what? Cut off your ear because no one wants your shitty paintings?" she continues to laugh while Marie can feel her anger boiling,
"And you?" she points at May "What would your role be? An ugly evil step sister?" May just feel hurt and dejected at Lee's comment.
"My waitressing job gets me more income than your pointless artsy jobs, but if you two want to go and ruin your lives, go ahead! See if I care!" May can't be in the trailer anymore and walks out to get some air. She breaths in the putrid air hoping it will calm her down.
"May!" She turns around to see her blue haired sister walk towards her with a concerned look on her face.
"Don't listen to her. She's just jealous that we're going to college and she's not." She can see her sister's trying to make her feel better but it's not working.
"What if she's right?"
"What?"
"What if we're just wasting our time?" Marie looks incredulous,
"Seriously May? Is going to a new place a waste of time? Seeing new sights? Meeting new people? Learning new things and doing something you love a waste of time?" she holds May by the shoulders.
"Listen to me. You are going to university and have an amazing time, and when you come back, you can say to Lee's face 'I told you so" and be a better version of yourself, ok?!" May look at her sister's eyes and see she has faith in her. May nods her heart,
"Ok. I'll do it." May said while Marie gave her a massive hug again.
"I am so proud of you. I'm going to miss you." Marie starts to cry on May's shoulder making May cry herself. Despite their ups and downs, she will always miss her sisters.
I feel like I am going to enjoy writing this story and I hope you will enjoy reading it. Do let me know what you think as I will continue writing the adventures I have planned :P
