Room 528, Friday Afternoon

[icecoldfrost]

While most people were probably already getting ready for prom, Emma was staring at a medium-size envelope, with a return address of Empire State University. She shouldn't be worried, really. She'd handwavily been accepted to Columbia University and UCLA, and she was still waiting to hear back from MIT. But E.S.U. was her first choice, and it had her unreasonably nervous.

After about fifteen minutes of staring at it, she ripped the envelope open and pulled at the pages inside.

Dear Miss Frost,
We are delighted to offer you membership in Empire State University's student body...

It went on like that for two pages, with various and sundry things about scholarships and housing, but Emma could barely process it. She was still stuck on the first part, and the signature at the bottom. She was in. She'd been accepted to her top choice program, tonight was prom, and she had a very handsome date. Today was awesome.

Anyone with empathic or telepathic abilities anywhere on the island probably heard her undignified mental squeal of delight before she remembered her manners and brought her shields up higher. This called for a trip to the spa to get her hair and make-up done.

"That's wonderful," Sookie gushed right alongside her. "Are you going right away, or stayin' through the summer, hon?"

"Staying for the free rent, and working at Devil's Nest for as many hours as Eric will let me," Emma replied. "I'm going to need all the savings I can get if I'm hoping to pull this off."

She nodded along. "That's my plan, too -- work at Luke's until I have to go. Eric's money or no, I'm going to need some savings for books and stuff even at my measly little state school. But that's so exciting." She slanted a look at Emma, adding, "You best be accepting visitors. I'm going to school out in the country. I might need to see New York."

"Of course I'm accepting visitors, don't be silly," she said. "But if you're sticking around too, we should put in to room together this summer, or get an apartment together or something."
