The acceptance letter part 2

By: Wesley Zhao

Stanford was really big with lots of trees and buildings. But then, I turned around and my heart dropped. It was Jerry, the school bully at my high school. For some reason, from the second I stepped foot into the high school, Jerry has had it in for me. He targets me every day, takes my lunch money, and tries to shove me into lockers.


Luckily, my parents were there and noticed Jerry. I told them all about him and they really didn’t like him. They stood in front of me like bodyguards and told Jerry to go. Jerry just sneered at me and said, “Your parents won’t be here later”.


It was almost time for orientation so I rushed to the gym and sat in a chair waiting. All they explained was where our dormitories were and told us where each building was. After that, I went to my dormitory (B) and put all my stuff on one side of the room, leaving the other half for my other roommate.


When I heard the door unlock, I prayed will all my might that it wasn’t Jerry, Instead, it was one of my childhood friends, Bob. “Bob?” I asked, “Where have you been all these years?” It turns out that he went to boarding school.


The next day I went to all my classes and after history, I went to the superpower class. It was the most exciting class and I was looking forward to it the most. I had no idea where it was, though. But a teacher came and took me to a secret room behind a library shelf.


When I went in, I held my breath and saw something that made me ecstatic.
