The next day, we all went home. Q was completely hung over along with Sal. Joe didn't drink but he left earlier than the rest. Murray left the same time as I did. I of course walked home. Sal, I think stayed with Q for the the day. It was Sunday so that meant my dad was home. I walked in and placed my bags on the stairs.

"Hey how was it?" my mom asked

"Wonderful! Had so much fun!" I gave her a kiss.

"Zoey... These came for you." My dad handed me 4 envelopes. They were from the colleges I applied to.

"I'm too scared to open them." I said

"We can do it together." My dad said.

We first opened up the NYU envelope. I sighed. It was a rejection.

"I'm sorry honey." My dad rubbed my back.

"Well that's one out of four though." I opened the second one, which was Pratt. Another rejection. I bet they all are going to be rejections, because I'm a failure and I'm not good enough. Next up was Parstons. I slowly opened it. I was... ACCEPTED!?

"IT'S A YES!" I said

"Congratulations honey!" My mom gave me a hug and so did my dad.

"Wait open the Brooklyn college one." My dad said.

I opened it and was also accepted. But... Which one to choose?

"Q went to Brooklyn college and he said it was good, I really want to go to the same one he went to but.. Parstons has what I want to be when I grow up in it. I get to study fashion design." I looked down.

"It's your choice babe. Do what your heart desires." My dad said

"I'll think about it."

I took my bags into my room. I texted Q.

"Hey, got accepted to two colleges, Brooklyn college and Parstons but I don't know which to go to. What do you think?" I sent it.

He would probably text me back in a couple hours. He was pretty hung over. No matter which college I pick, I would have to leave. Leave my home. Leave my family. Leave Q. Is this going to affect our relationship? I hope not, he was my whole world! I love him. I grabbed my pillow and starting crying into it. Did I even need to go to college? Maybe I don't have to... But I really should. I started crying more. My phone buzzed. It was Q.

"That's great! I loved Brooklyn but then again I can't judge Parstons. Baby it's up to you, I will support you either way.

Ugh he's too nice! I guess if he doesn't mind that much... Parstons is the way to go.

"Then I guess it's Parstons! I'm so excited!!"

"I'm so happy for you, I'm going to take a nap though. Head hurts like a mother.."

"Aw ok. Feel better boo."

I changed into my grey sweatpants and my tank top. I threw my hair in a high ponytail and took off my makeup. I ran downstairs in my uggs.

"Mom! Dad!" I yelled jumping down the stairs

"Yes?" my mom said

"I decided to go to Parstons." I smiled

"That's wonderful!" My mom pulled me in for a hug, my dad joined.

"I'm so proud of you, I know you will do great!" my dad said

"Yeah but you know what I should be doing?" I said

"What?" They both said in unison

"Picking out my graduation dress. Hint hint."

"Do you have your eye on something already?"

"Actually no. But I would love if I could have some spending money at the mall for the dress and shoes and maybe accessories. Of course it all has to match and I do need it to be spectacular since I will be studying design." I smiled

"When have you gotten so.. Sneaky.. But smart?" My dad asked

"Ever since I was born. I get it from both of you."

"How much is this gonna cost me?" My dad whipped out his wallet.

"For now... Let's just take $200."

"For now!?"

"Thanks! I love you." I grabbed the money and kissed him on the cheek. I ran upstairs.

Graduation was in 3 months, we have to start to pay for the college in May. So I guess I had time before I bought a dress. I grabbed my secret piggy bank which was a can that I kept stuff in and put the $200 in there. I better not forget that's in there. I put the can back. What to do now?
