Two weeks later
“They’ve arrived!” my roommate Aisling says excitedly, pink hearts
shimmering in her eyes as she hip-bumps the front door to the condo
closed, setting the inconspicuous brown box down on top of the coffee table
in front of me.
I slide my eyes over from the screen of my laptop, allowing myself to
soak in the sight of the little package, as if I didn’t specifically orchestrate
this uncharacteristically early morning study session for this very precise
purpose.
“They were arriving today? I didn’t know,” I say weakly, my tone as
casual as I can manage.
“Should I open them now?” Aisling asks, her fingers brushing adoringly
over the paper.
Them, I think, a small splinter cracking in my heart. As in, there’s more
than one this year.
Holding back my sad little gulp I nod my head and hold my breath.
“You know what? I’ll model them for you,” Ash decides, much to my
absolute horror. “You wait here, and I’ll be back in, like, ten seconds.”
“Ash,” I begin, in a voice that clearly translates to dear God no, but
she’s already speed-sashaying into her bedroom, a vision of petite
cheerleader perfection.
I drop my gaze back to the unfilled grant application on my screen and
the ever-growing pinch between my brows burrows a little deeper. Did I
really want to spend my senior year at college applying for the most hotly
contested arts scholarship available at Carter Ridge University? No. But I
also didn’t expect to get benched from the cheer team after three years of
being their perfect, unbeaten top-of-the-pyramid flyer, meaning that the
graduate sports scholarship I have been not-so-secretly praying for?
Yeah, not gonna happen.
Thoroughly distressed by the empty state of the document at my
fingertips, I shut down my laptop and set it down on the glossy table,
sighing inwardly at the fact that, without funding, this is one-million
percent about to be my final year in the safely suspending arms of my
academia haven. My final year of being enveloped in this condo,
researching my latest Lit essay and obsessively plotting my secret just-forfun dream manuscript, whilst thinking that this is what life could have been,
if I had only worked hard enough. Not having to fear the prospect of
heading indefinitely back to my parents’ house and disappointing them
further because I don’t want to go pro with my sport.
As much as I love doing cheer, I don’t want to be ogled for the rest of
my life on the field of every NFL game.
But it isn’t just about doing the work, my mind reminds me. It’s about
having the money.
Which brings me back to my original point: not being on the cheer team
means not getting another sport scholarship, and not getting another sport
scholarship means not getting to stay on at Carter U for the Master’s degree
that I’ve always wanted to do.
And if I can’t stay on at Carter U to do my
Master’s, then I’ll be sacrificing my studies – my only form of genuine
validation in this world – not to mention my secret manuscript, for the kind
of job that will pay my bills but will never leave me enough time to
accomplish my real dreams.
