Chapter 15: THE PRINCE OF WALES STOLE MY GIRLFRIEND!
17 APRIL
Year 21 of the Reign of King Henry XII
I got an email from Santa Barbara today. They’ve accepted me after all. Brilliant, useless timing, that. I wonder if they ultimately took me simply because they kept seeing my name in the news.
In any case, I accepted the offer with a deferred admission to next fall — not this coming one — just in case it turns out I need a backup plan. There’s no harm in making sure I have options. I feel like I’m tempting fate to let my old life go quite yet.
