"Are you lost Miss Wilson?".

No. It couldn't be.

It sure as shit was.

"Mr Gallagher?". I frowned.

"I'll ask again, are you lost?".

Why did he always come across as an arrogant a*****e?

"No". I made a face.

We never did have the best student teacher relationship. Or I was reading into it too much. I had to remember I wasn't in high school anymore and he was no longer my teacher. "Then may I remind you; you can't loiter around here if you don't go here".

"Maybe I do go here". I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Hm, I don't think so".

My stomach dropped. Did that mean I didn't get accepted? Why was he here? Didn't he teach high school kids?

Wait, was he smirking?

"Why are you here?". I frowned.

"I work here".

That would explain why I didn't get in. I swear he hated me.

"Oh". My shoulders sagged.

What chance did I have now? I knew coming here was a waste of time. If I knew he worked here I wouldn't have bothered driving out.

"Did you apply here Miss Wilson?".

I hated that he always used my second name. What was wrong with calling me Leah?

I nodded.

"Oh, that's right you did. Your application in sitting on my desk".

Wait, he was the dean?

"Whatever". I huffed about turning and walking back to my car.

"You chopped and changed about Yale so many times Leah. How do I know you won't do the same here".

Ah, so this was about Yale. The favour he did for me by sending in his recommendation. I basically screwed him over and made him look bad in front of his fancy friends.

Still, what a way to act about it. I wasn't going to let him hang this over my head to decide whether I get to go to college or not. It wasn't worth it, and I could still do online courses if I wanted to. Besides, I don't think I could survive another 3 years of him.

I shrugged. "I guess you don't". I got back in my car and didn't give him a second glance.

That was that idea out the window. Bummer.

There were other colleges, but it was too late to send an application, and they were hours out of town. I wanted to be close to home. How do I tell Jake about this? Do I tell him I didn't get in or do I tell him I changed my mind?

No matter how much influence Jake had I don't think Mr Gallagher liked him either. Pulling into the side of the road I grabbed my phone dialling Alanna's number.

"It's too early to be calling me". She groaned.

"You'll never guess what". I spoke.

"What?".

"Mr Gallagher is the dean to the college I applied for".

There was a thump and then a groan and I'm guessing she just fell out her bed.

"Shut up". She gasped. "Wait, I thought you hadn't heard back yet?".

"Yeah, I don't think I'll be going to college".

"Don't let that asshole put you off Leah".

"That's the thing". I paused. "I don't think I've been accepted".

"Shut up you're a straight A student with a 4. 0 gpa. Yeah, you sucked at chemistry but who needs that. They have to let you in". "Apparently not".

"Mr Gallaghers a dick". She huffed. "I bet Jake could get you accepted".

"No". I sighed. "I'm really not bothered. I'll take a few online courses and be happy".

I was bothered I wanted to at least experience a little of the college life, but I wouldn't dare tell anyone. It was easier just to brush it off and accept it.

"No, fuck that. He's being an asshole and if you don't tell Jake then at least let me tell my parents. I'm sure my dad could put in a word".

"He didn't actually say I hadn't been accepted". I chewed the inside of my cheek when I heard her groan.

"What did he say then?".

"Meet me at the diner for lunch and I'll tell you all about it". I ended the call and pulled back onto the road.

He didn't actually say I didn't get in, right?
