Love at first sight

CHAPTER THREE; AFTERWARD

Alexa and Stacy were over the moon as they danced and played around Alexa's room, celebrating their admission to the University of their choice - Brick City University in New York. The excitement was palpable as they counted down the days until their screening, just three days away. Even after the exam they had to undergo a physical screening.

Finally, the day arrived, and they paced anxiously up and down the hallway, waiting for the results.

Minutes felt like hours, but eventually, the wait was over. They had passed with flying colors! The girls rejoiced, hugging each other tightly as they embarked on this new phase of their lives.

Their parents were beaming with pride, thrilled to see their daughters take this significant step. Preparations began in earnest – grocery shopping, clothes shopping, and all the essentials for university life.

But as the departure day loomed closer, the reality of leaving home began to sink in. Alexa and Stacy found themselves tearing up, knowing they would miss their family and friends dearly. The thought of starting anew, away from the comfort and familiarity of home, was daunting.

As they packed their bags and said their goodbyes, the emotions became overwhelming. They clung to each other, trying to hold back tears, as they faced the bittersweet moment of leaving behind the only life they had ever known.
