"I can't feel my butt" Nathan groaned laying his head gingerly upon the steering wheel.

"Tell me about it" I said wiggling my behind across the seat slightly as an attempt to cure it's numbness. They felt lifeless, like a delicate cushion under the rough scraping fabric of my jeans.

"That's quite common when you drive eight hours straight, almost choking the life out of them by cutting their blood flow" he slowly tilted to open the door and tenderly hoisted his ass up, with precaution as he got out.

I followed the same pattern sluggishly.

We stood by the bonnet of his car helping our protesting muscles with much needed stretching before we walked back to the trunk, unloading it of my contents.

It was a day before new year, when Diana brought the posts in. squeezed in between her families and friends cards and greetings was an envelope that had a thick golden emblem with a black S in cursive. I waited impatiently for Diana to notice it, my legs tapping ferociously on the ground as I ate my breakfast. Or pretended to.

When she opened the seal from it, it was then my heart felt as if it could jump out of my chest and would start doing somersaults. The way it did when I had received the email last night, prior to the letter which possibly bored the same contents.

Admission management.

Her expression was that of confusion as she read, I saw it flip from shock to surprise and then

"What on the earth?" she breathed.

"I can explain-" I said getting up from my seat, chewing the contents of my mouth.

"You applied for scholarship?" her disbelief was evident as she scanned the paper in her clutch once again. I admit it was sad to see her like this.

"Yes, but i-"

"And you got selected" randomly she exclaimed, I frowned my lips parted for next words that didn't made its way out as I saw her grin.

"You got selected" she walked over my side and hugged me so tight that I had to remind her about my diaphragm compressing which she waved off.
