A month had passed Christmas was coming. For the first time Sam and everyone else were spending Christmas and New Years in New York City. Randy was paying for it all. There was a few days left before Christmas vacation. Sam had just gotten home from school.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi Sam." Her mom said. "How was your day?"
"Good." She said walking into the living room.
"You got some mail today." "It's on the hall table."
"Thanks." She went into the hall. She looked through the mail. She had letters from Stanford University, Yale University and she had a letter from London. She opened the letter to Stanford first. She got accepted. Then she opened the letter to Yale. She also got accepted there. She put the letter from London in her purse.
"Get anything important?" Her mom asked. Samantha walked back into the living room.
"I got letters from two of the universities I applied to."
"And?"
"I got into Stanford and Yale."
"Stanford and Yale?"
"Yeah."
"That's great." "I'm so proud of you." She stood up and hugged her.
"Thanks mom."
"Accepted to not one but two colleges." "This is a great day."
"That's not even all the schools I applied to."
"I'm going to call your dad at work and we're all going out for a big celebratory dinner."
"Well I have to go to AJ's for awhile but I'll be back buy the time dad gets home."
"Ok."
Sam went over to AJ's house. She knocked on the door. AJ answered it.
"Hey." "What are you doing here?" AJ asked.
"Did you get any mail today?"
"I haven't checked." "Come in." She went in. AJ's mom walked into the living room.
"Hi Mrs. Lee." Sam said.
"Hello Samantha." AJ's mom said. "How are you today?"
"Good."
"Yeah I did get some mail." AJ said smiling. "We'll be upstairs mom."
They went upstairs to AJ's room.
"I can't believe it." AJ said. "Our letters are finally here." They opened them. "Alright I got the internship." "What about you?"
"It is our pleasure to inform that you have been accepted into the London internship program." She read from the letter happily. "I got accepted." She said smiling. They hugged.
"A few days after graduation we'll be on a plane to London."
"Yeah it's great." AJ looked at Sam.
"Hey what's a matter?"
"Nothing it's great that we both got our internships."
"I know you're worried about what Randy's gonna say."
"Yeah." "I got accepted to Stanford and Yale."
"Don't tell you're thinking about not going?"
"I don't know if I wanna be that far away from Randy."
"Sam you have to go." "If you don't you'll regret it."
"I know."
"When are you gonna tell Randy."
"I don't know."
Two days later they all drove to New York City. It was Christmas Eve. They checked into there hotel. Everyone had there own rooms expect for Sam and Randy who were sharing a room. They were walking around the city. They went into a restaurant to eat and warm up. Sam and John were getting the food.
"Sammy are you ok?" John asked.
"Yeah." "Remember that internship I told you about?"
"Yeah."
"I got accepted."
"That's great." "What did Randy say?"
"He doesn't know yet."
"When are you gonna tell him?"
"I don't know." They made back to the table.
"Here's the food."
Sam sat down next to Randy.
"Guys I have something to tell all of you." Phil said. "I'm still waiting on a few other schools but I got accepted to the University Of Chicago."
"That's awesome dude." John said.
"Cool." Randy said.
"That's great Phil." Sam said.
"Yeah that's great." Trish said.
"Congratulations Phil." AJ said.
"Well since we're sharing I have something to say." Trish said. "I've been accepted to Hudson University." "I've decided to go."
"That's great Trish." Sam said.
"Yeah." "That's where Chris is going to college so it works out great."
"Since we're sharing plans for the future." AJ said. "I've been offered an internship for biochemistry in London." "I'm taking it."
"Wow London." Randy said. "That's great for you." "Congratulations."
"Thanks." "Does anyone else have anything to say?" No one said anything.
After they ate they were walking to Rockefeller's Center. AJ was walking with Phil.
"So the University Of Chicago huh?" AJ said.
"Yeah."
"What are you gonna major in?"
"Math." "Maybe be a calculus teacher." "London's a big thing for you."
"Yeah." "I can't wait to go."
"I bet." "It'll be fun." "You know I'll miss you next year."
"Really?"
"Yeah out of everyone we hang with you're the one I have the most in common with."
"I'm sure after high school we'll see each other again."
"I'm counting on it."
Later that night everyone decided to go to there rooms. Sam and Randy went to there room. Randy unlocked the door. They went in.
"Randy this is beautiful." Sam said.
"It's the honeymoon suite."
"Really?" She said turning to him.
"Mm-hmm." "I figure this can be our practice honeymoon."
"Ooh."
"Let's get started." They kissed and went into the bedroom
The next morning Randy wheeled in room service.
"Sam." "Baby wake up." Randy said. "Breakfast." She opened her eyes and sat up. "Merry Christmas baby.
"Merry Christmas." He got food for them and sat next to her. She got a black box with a bow on the tray.
"Go ahead." "Open it. She opened the box. Inside were diamond earrings.
"Wow are these real?"
"Yeah."
"I love them." "Thank you." They ate there breakfast. "I have a present for you to." She got up picked Randy's shirt off the floor and bent down under the bed. She pulled out a box. It was a big box.
"What's this?"
"Open it." He lifted the lid. It was a leather jacket.
"This is the leather jacket we saw in the mall a couple weeks ago."
"Yep."
"Thank you Sam." "Come here so I can thank you the right way." She got on the bed. They kissed.
"Randy." She mumbled against his lips.
"Hmm." She broke the kiss.
"I got into to Stanford and Yale."
"You did?"
"Yeah."
"That's great." "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I also got offered a medical internship."
"That's great baby." "Where?"
"England."
"England?" "Like the country England?"
"Yeah." "London."
"How long?"
"A year."
"Are you gonna take it?"
"Not if you don't want me to." "I can go to Stanford or Yale and there's still a few schools I haven't heard from yet."
"Do you want to take the internship?"
"Yeah."
"Then take it." "It's only a year I'll be here when you get back."
"Really?"
"Really."
"You're not mad?"
"No." "I won't be able to come see you but there's the phone there's the computer." "We'll work it out." Sam kissed him.
