☆Alexis' POV
“So, what is it you wanted to tell us?” dad asks.
“Ooh, is it another birthday present?!” Mia chirps excitedly.
“Maybe it's a surprise party” mom shrugs.
“At 9:28 pm?” Max questions.
“You guys!” I yell to get their attention.
They become quiet.
“Thank you” I breath. “Now, I got some really life changing news and I'd like to share it with my family. So if you'll just let me...”.
“What's this about?” mom interrupts.
“You're not pregnant are you?” Mia utters.
“Will you just let her talk?” Max scowls.
I shut my eyes in annoyance.
I wish...
“Hey! Let her speak!” dad barks.
It startles me and I jump but I'm grateful.
“Go on kiddo”.
I nod.
“Okay, so this is the best news ever! You ready?” I grin from ear to ear.
“Yeah (Sure) (Go on) (Come on, spit it out!)” they say over each other.
“I'm going to college!” I squeal.
The room goes silent and I swear you can hear an ant fart. Mom and dad exchange looks.
“Well? Say something”.
Max is the first to speak.
“You're going to college?”.
“Mm hmm” I nod. “And get the best part, I got a full scholarship!”.
“That's awesome!” he grins.
“I know right?”.
I turn to my parents.
“Mom? Dad? Say something. Mia?”.
Mia looks up from her phone.
“Sorry, I was just checking the time my flight leaves tomorrow night” she divulges. “So my baby is finally stepping up her game. College huh? You're going to need a makeover to get rid of all that high school...”.
“When did you get the news?” dad asks.
“Err... a few weeks ago”.
“Which college are you going to?” mom whispers.
“Well...”.
“MIT? Scripps? Brynn Mawr? Please don't tell me you're going to Yale...” she gasps, “... or Harvard!”.
“Ooh, if you're going to Harvard, I still have my sweatshirt and I still send the Dean every edition of my magazine” Mia grins.
“Kiddo are you going to Stanford? Maybe FGCU or Washington University...”.
“Okay stop!” I yell. “I'm not going to Yale, or MIT or Florida Gulf Coast University and certainly not Harvard!”.
I take in a deep breath and calm myself down.
“I'm going to Melbourne”.
Mia coughs out her soda.
“What?!”.
“Australia? Kiddo...”.
“Dad...”.
“Oh hell no!” mom exclaims.
