Professor F

Chapter 2: Acceptance Letter

Two weeks later...

"Moooooooom! Daaaaaaaaad!" She screamed as she was reading an email on her MacBook in the

living room while they're watching a Netflix movie.

Her parents were both startled, spilling soda and pop corn on the couch.

"What?" Her mother asked, worried.

"What's wrong?" Her father asked and grabbed the controller to pause the Netflix movie they're

watching.

Her dolly eyes were in tears when she turned her MacBook and showed them the email from Pearsons

University!

Their eyes were glued to the bright screen as her father holds his eyeglasses close to his eyes while

reading. Both of them murmuring as they read...

Subject: School Acceptance Letter

Dear Miss Augustine C. Peters,

On behalf of the admission board and management of Pearsons University, I feel immense pleasure to

inform you that you have been accepted as a scholar student of our college following your application

and interview.

You are requested to report at the University on the 22nd of April 2019 at 11:00 am in order to

complete the admission process. Kindly bring all the credentials and documents on that day. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Welcome to Pearsons University!

Her parents jumped out of the couch and hugged her. They were all ecstatic to learn about the news.

"I know you'd make it! You're the brightest kid in this neighborhood!" Augustus proudly said as he wipes

the side of his eyes while smiling widely at her.

"I'm excited!" Her mother exclaimed with her hands clasped together. "We should go around the area

and get you to a dormitory! And then we'll go furniture shopping and—"

"I'd like her to have her place where we can visit her anytime and stay overnight sometimes." Her father

interrupted.

"Oh! That must be pretty expensive to rent a whole apartment." Her mother said, being a typical frugal

mother she is.

"I'm prepared for this. Our daughter is going to college. You think I didn't think of saving up for it?" Her

father said to her mother, sounding proud of his savings.

"Really, honey?" Her mother said, looking so happy. "I knew I made the best choice marrying you!"

She snorted as the situation started to get so cheesy between her parents. "Geez! Stop that already."

She looked at them with disgust. "And not to worry, mom. It's not just a scholarship that I got!" She

started to feel excited about the other news. "I sent an application to the University Brew & Coffee! I've

been in touch with the store manager who is also a student at the University and they're happy to let

me work part time! If my schedule allows it, I may consider tutoring few students, too!"

"What? You're planning to work while studying at Pearsons?" Her father asked in disbelief.

"Don't you think it's time to just forget about working and just focus on studying, sweetie?" Christine

asked, trying not to sound too controlling over her. "Besides, you already got a scholarship. That's

already a big help to us as your parents."

She smiled. "I made up my mind. I'm helping out with the rent. And don't worry. I'll make sure to not

slack in college, Mom, Dad! Trust me!" She gave them a reassuring smile.

Her parents sighed and smiled at her.

"Whatever makes you happy." Her mother said.

"We're always here for you." Her father assured.

She hugged them and couldn't contain her tears, realizing Pearsons University is far from home. She'd

definitely miss them living away and independently.

Growing up with both parents working a regular job, Augustine or people call her August learned at a

young age that work is essential to an individual.

When she was twelve, despite her parents being against it, she started working as a baby sitter for

their neighbor. She's friendly and a fun person. She loves kids and being around people. Everybody

loves her, too.

Being an only child, she finds other people as her playmates especially that her parents are busy at

work. But then she never blamed them for being busy because she understands why the adults had to

work and why they had to sometimes skip breakfast because they're going to be late, why they had to

press the snooze button for five more minutes, or why they had to sleep on the couch with work clothes

on.

When she turned fifteen, she also learned about earning money just by walking their neighbor's dog

and tutoring kids. She's smart and wise as a kid. School had always been good to her as well. She

managed to get straight A’s and join few clubs as extra-curricular.

Her parents were always supportive and just gave her one condition: It's alright to work as long as

school is not compromised.

She doesn't really need to work because her parents can support her studies but seeing them working

hard to bring her presents on special occasions, buy her needs and wants, take her out for a movie,

shopping or food trip, she told herself that she'd also earn her keep to do those to them as thanks. She

proved that tutoring, walking the dogs or babysitting will not cause problems in school. Her parents

inspired her to be responsible.

Her father, Augustus Peters, works as an engineer at the city hall while her mother, Christine Collins-

Peters, works as a nurse in a private hospital. Both of them graduated in the same state university.

They urged her to go to that same university but she had something else in mind!

She wants to get a scholarship at Pearsons University! One of the country's prestigious state

universities. And she finally got it!

The university not only produced graduates who were successful in the fields of medicine and

technology, engineering and architecture, finance and banking but also in other fields like art, music

and literature! Some of their graduates are famous artists and professionals in their fields!

Not only that, their school has the reputation of getting only the best and intelligent professors with

outstanding credentials and background!

That's why she's worked her ass so hard to graduate with flying colors, drowning herself with her

reviewers and notes before she took the entrance exam a month ago and had her interview two weeks

ago!

With that in mind, she remembered him! That hot creature glaring at her!
