Chapter One- The Result

---

-Damn, the Sun is blinding me. - I grumble, dizzy

I wake up to the sun right on my face. I sit on my own bed, and look around my room.

Everything perfectly clean and organized, exactly how I like. The dresser right beside the three-door wardrobe, with no dust at all. My books and games alphabetically organized on the shelf, which is right above my desk with my notebook and drawing tablet, also perfectly symmetrically positioned and clean.

-Uhm, what time is it? - I say still dizzy

I forced my eyes to check my phone on the bed table: 9:36, Saturday.

Today is the day I'll get the results of my application to the so appreciated Lionheart Pokémon College, who accept only the best of the bests of every course they have to offer, the biggest and best college of the entire region. I studied hard for two months so I could get accepted there, and today I'll finally get the result! I'm all anxious now!

I get up and open my wardrobe, and just put on some grey shorts, after all its Saturday, and I was sleeping with a shirt already.

I get down running on the so familiar stair and find my family all around the kitchen table eating happily their breakfast.

My little brother Mike, as always, making a mess while eating, my father is reading his daily newspaper and mom is finishing making some pancakes.

-´Morning Sis! - Little Mike said happily

-Good morning, Miky - I said while petting his head

I sat right between dad and Mike, with a plate already waiting for the freshly done pancakes

-Good morning Lucy- Dad said, laying his newspaper down and smiling brightly at me.

At these times he reminds me so much of grandpa, that bright smile and short messy hair... I miss grandpa

-'Morning dad- I said-anything good on the newspaper today?-

I didn't have any interest in that, but I wanted to start a conversation

-Ah, the Lionheart Soccer Team won again the school's tournament! - He said happily. Why was him happy? I thought he didn't like soccer

-Oh, the college team is good then- I said with no interest, drinking the coffee that was set on the table, which I didn't notice at first

-It is, and this year they're recruiting more students, it's definitely one of the most powerful college team of the state! - He seemed pretty interested, this is suspicious...

-Here sweetie, good morning -Mom laid some pancakes on my plate and kissed my forehead and sat beside Mike

-'Morning mom, thank you- I sliced a piece of the top pancake and ate it. As good as ever, simply delicious

-Oh, Lucy, something in the mail came for you- Dad said handing me an envelope with the Lionheart College symbol printed on it, the LH with a lion.

I may have looked like I was normal in the outside, but in the inside I was exploding with anxiety. Was I accepted?! There's one way to find it out.

I take the letter from my dad's hand and open it slowly, to feel every moment of it. Even if they decline my application, I want to feel every moment, the result of nights and nights awake studying hard, declining going out with family and friends to study, sacrificing hours that I could have practicing my drawing skills. It can't be all in vain.

I take out the paper and read it silently. Tears fall down my cheeks instantly as I read the first two lines.

-What's wrong? You didn't pass? - Dad said concerned, with a sweet voice

-"From Lionheart College.

We completed the examination of your tests and with honor we can call you another member of the Lionheart College. Within this letter you'll have your schedule; also we inform you that your request for a private house was accepted. Wish you a great semester; see you on the next Monday.

-The Lionheart's Staff" -I read it out loud- I did it-

My father hugged me, mom joined too

-Group hug!!- Mike said and hugged too

"I did it!!"
