Helen was nervous. She knew that any day now a letter would arrive telling her whether or not she had been accepted to Larkhall University. If she was, she would also get information about where she would be living and who she would be living with. The last part was what she was most nervous about.
Helen Stewart was the only child of James and Sharon Stewart. Her parents had always taught her to share and she was by no means spoiled, but she had only had to share a living space when her friends would sleep over. Now she was going to have to share for an entire year. She knew that sharing wouldn’t be a huge problem. It was the fact that she wouldn’t have to be alone all the time, something that she never told her parents that it bothered her, that made her nervous.
Helen made her way to the mailbox, nervous as always, grabbed the mail, and slowly started to leaf through it.
“Bill…Bill…letter from Grandma…Oh my God!” Helen gasped.
It was here. The letter she had been waiting weeks for, but now couldn’t bring herself to open it. She was excited, anxious, and nervous all at the same time. She ran inside hoping one of her parents would be around.
“Mom! Mom!” Helen yelled.
“What is it child?” Sharon Stewart asked, somewhat concerned.
“I need you to open this,” she said, thrusting the envelope at her mother. “I can’t do it, I’m too nervous.”
Sharon took the envelope, opened it, and read it to herself. Helen watched her mother’s face, hoping it would give something away. As her mother finished, she slowly handed it back to Helen.
“You might as well read it yourself,” she said with a sound of defeat.
Helen took the letter and from the look on her mother’s face her heart sank. She slowly began to read, not noticing the smile that was slowly starting to form on her mother’s face.
Dear Miss Stewart,
We would like to congratulate you on your acceptance to this University. Enclosed you will find information on your housing assignment, your roommate, and a financial aid package. We look forward to seeing you in the fall and good luck with your studies.
She looked at her mother as a feeling of relief washed over her, now seeing that Sharon had a broad grin on her face.
“You cow,” she said, playfully hitting her mother’s arm. “You made me think I didn’t get in.”
“I know, but how many opportunities like that will I get?” Her mother asked, still smiling. “So, what’s you roommate’s name?”
“Uh…” She started, as she leafed through the pages, “Nicola Wade, she’s from London. It’s got her email address too. Do you think I should contact her?” Helen asked.
“Contact who?” James asked as he came into the lounge.
“Helen’s roommate for University. She got her acceptance letter today.” Sharon announced proudly.
“Helen, that’s fantastic!” James replied, hugging his daughter.
“Thanks, but I was dead nervous though.” Helen replied honestly.
“Why? You’re top of your year.” Sharon asked.
“I know, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t be nervous about it. Anyway, do you think that I should contact Nicola?”
“I don’t see why not. This way you will have the chance to get to know each other before you live together,” her father answered.
“Ok. Maybe I’ll do it later.”
