Chapter 3

Jennie POV

“What happened tell me slowly” I said

She gulped water in one go.

“ The....results are out.. Hunsberg Universityyy” she screamed.

“What really, when! Where!” I jumped.

“It’s uploaded in the website, we need to check it right NOW” she squealed.

We started jumping with fear. We took our phone from our pocket and unlocked the lockscreen and searched.

“ Okay, here is the website..... You go first” Harper said.

“No, you enter your registered ID first”

“No you first”

“You first”

“ Fine....let’s enter together in your respective phones, deal?” Harper chirped.

“ Okay deal!” I said with excited face.

“ On the count of three....

1 ......1.2...1.3...1.4...”

“Oh come on Harper...” I smacked her shoulder.

“Whaaaaat I am so scared... FINE.....on the count of three” she screamed.

1.....

2........

3.......GO GO GOOOOOOOOOO

“Aaaahhhhh” we both screamed and clicked the enter button.

I was stars trucked by seeing my result. It showed my marks and down it showed..... Congratulations you are SELECTED.

Yeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I am selected. Wowowowowow.....

I jumped in excitement.

“ Harperrrrr I am selected woohoo....what!!” My happiness faded instantly when I faced Harper.

Harper looked pale. Sadness lingered all over her face. Her eyes became watery. Oh no! What.... happened....she didn’t......no it can’t be ....she is excellent in studying.....she worked hard for this.......My heart was racing like horse.

“Har..... Harper!?....what happened...what about your result..?..” I panicked. She said nothing, her head was down.

“ Harperrrrr say something don’t scare me like this... Show me the result” I shook her. She hid her phone and stepped away from me.

“ No please leave me alone..” she said making crying sounds.

“ Harper give me your damn phone” I shouted. She nodded and gave her phone to me.

I read....

“Congratulations, you are selected”.

My eyes widened. This....girl... Harper laughed like a maniac.

“Gotcha....you are so dumb...you fell for my trap....take that...ow....” She started dancing.

“ F*** you!...you...dram queen I will kill you” I snarled angrily.

“ My acting is no joke... someone give me Oscar award for best actress in the world.” She flipped her hair and flicked her eyelashes.

“ You little twerp ....come here...” I threw a pillow in her direction.

“ Nae...nana nana....” She started running from me as I started chasing her. She ran towards the hall and I caught her easily because the house of mine was small. I was on her and dunked her head many times up and down up and down.

“Do you know how scared I was....F*** you!” I barked at her.

She giggled and whined at the same time. “ Get off me....are you planning to crush me to death. I am my mother’s only precious child”

“ You should have thought about it before, drama queen...” I started crushing her and jumping upon her. She suddenly hugged me and caressed my back.

“ I am so happy you got selected” she said caressing my back.

I released her and we made eye contact. We smiled at each other and jumped like kids.

“Yeeeeessssssss!!!!!!!! “

“ Here we come HUNSBERG UNIVERSITY.....” we shouted together.

We calmed after dancing, chirping for a hour, we informed our parents. Everybody congratulated. After all the drama we went to the park for mental peace.

“ Our problem is solved....our dreams will come true..” I said smiling.

“I am excited to go to that University....I have heard there are many handsome boys huh!” Harper said wiggling her eyebrows.

I looked at her with a expression like are you crazy?

“Oh come on, you expect me to be a nerd out there. It’s the Hunsberg University....people enjoy there with studying”.

“Ya right, you and your theory” I said sarcastically rolling my eyes. We talked and laughed for hours.

After a week..........

I can hear the melodious chirping of birds in the background and can feel the warmth of the...sunlight?

I looked at the time, oh shit! it’s 8 am.

Today I have to get admission into Hunsberg University. It takes 3 hours to go from here. I called Harper..

“ Hello Harper are you there!? We have to go now where are you!? What are you doing.” I said in one breath.

“ Wha...let me sleep.... I am not going to any party.....” She mumbled. This girl.....if am careless, she is mother of carelessness.

“ You idiot, we have to go the Hunsberg University for ADMISSION, you fool”

“ Oh f***, holy cow I forgot...get ready soon Jennie I will pick you up in 15 min” she screamed and cut the call.

This idiot...

I hurriedly got up from the bed, took a quick shower and changed into t-shirt and long black jeans. I looked in the mirror. My grip marks have faded.. but the hickey on my neck was still there.

It’s been a week since the incident happened. I think he forgot me! Where is he right now? Why do you care Jen..leave it...it’s for your own good.

I heard a car honking sound. I pulled my hair into a pony tail, took my bag which had important files for admission and cash to pay the fees.

I ran towards the hall and hugged mom and dad.

“ Dad....mom...bye..I don’t have time...I will come back after admission...love you....” I said picking up the toast which was in the table .

“ Bye sweetie, take care..tell me how it was..” father said cheerfully.

“ Get in looser, we going to Hunsberg University” Lisa said sarcastically.

“ Will you stop watching movies..” I rolled my eyes.

“ Never...” Harper stick out her tongue.

Lisa’s driver drove of to the Hunsberg University.

After 3 hours.....

“ Here we are.!.” Harper squeals as we drive through the stone gate and into the campus.

The campus just looks just as great as it did in brochures and online, I’m impressed. It was a posh college. Everything screamed rich. The campus was very vast.

I was stars trucked seeing the view. We went to the admission department and filled our fees. Well we were selected through scholarship so we had to pay half of the fees. We did all the procedure and finally we got admitted to the HUNSBERG UNIVERSITY!!!

The clerk out there gave us the admit card and said “ your classes will start after one week, thank you!” She gave a wide smile.

We thanked her went off the building. We were admiring the college campus. Many students were roaming,...most of them were rich.. well dressed.

I was looking at the building out there... I was amazed.

Suddenly someone called us from behind

“ Harper........”

I was busy staring at the buildings so I didn’t look back.

“ Lisa....you are here... you got admitted here!?”

This time I turned towards the voice coming. Rose!!!!

“ Oh my God Jennie! You are here too....now that’s destiny..!”

“Destiny!???” Me and Harper said together.

“Uh.... I...I mean...see we all selected the same University...yay..haha” she said nervously.

“ Even you are selected through scholarship?” I said with excitement.

“What...no... I am not genius like you people... I joined through management quota you see, my father has a contact here.” She said shyly.

Rose was filthy rich. Her dad owned many business but she was down to earth. She never showed off. She had been our classmate in high school. She was very kind and cheerful. We didn’t hang out much but she was a good friend of ours. She hugged me and Harper excitedly.

“ Thank God! At least I have my friends here... I am not alone..” she squealed.

“ So......where will you stay...?” She said blinking her eyes twice. She is so cute!

“ In our house of course” Harper rolled her eyes.

“ Oh come on, it will be tiring if you make... up and down to college and home, it’s 3 hrs journey.”

“ But the hostel fees is too expensive” I sighed.

“ Well you can stay in my place.... I mean my father bought a house for me...so that I can stay there..you people can join me if you want” she said with excitement on her face.

“ Are you sure...? Like free of cost!” Harper raised her eyebrows and I smacked her shoulder.

“ Whaaat.... I was kidding...” Harper whined touching her shoulders.

“ Yeah of course.... I own the house now...no rent.. I need a roommate, I don’t want to stay with my cousin brother’s apartment, he is a maniac” she laughed.

Maniac!!! Suddenly it reminded me of someone...
