Congratulations! Welcome to the family, Kian Maynard!
To continue with your acceptance, please follow the instructions below. We look forward to meeting you in the Fall 2022 semester at the University of Calgary.
Does it ever feel like you're living someone else's dream? I know, U of C is an extremely prestigious school filled with British and international snobs. But their pre-med program is outstanding and I have a legacy to fulfill. My father and mother are both doctors and they're crazy intelligent. Growing up, I had opportunities paved like none other, both for my brother and me.
"Oh isn't this great Kian? You're going to do amazing things. Your father and I are so proud," my mom says over the phone. With the house all to myself, this celebratory event doesn't feel so... celebratory.
Too bad I don't have time to celebrate since I have Carter's party to get to. A weekend LA was what I needed before I'm sped off to study abroad. Forever.

"GET DUNKED BRO!!!"
The party is crazy filled and I just got slammed by one of Carter's friends. The music was filling the air as well as the smell of freshly cracked beer and lit joints.
Being a part of the lacrosse team definitely helped me lock-in to this chicken fight, but alas I lose. The boys continue to laugh and I look off to the pool chairs. I spot this girl stripping off her shorts. In a totally-not-creepy-way, I watch her unveil her body and watch the sun shine on her body. She radiates and glows unlike anything I've ever seen. I'm fixated. We lock eyes and she grows red. For some reason I can't turn away either.
Carter breaks the stare as he approaches her. I turn my focus back to the game as more of the guys start patting each others back and hollering crazy noises.

As I grab a slice of pepperoni, I realize that I was grabbing the last one. I checked the other boxes and we completely cleared out the rest. I walk back waiting to devour this delectable cheesy piece until I hear Carter's mutual, Jenna yell to her friend. "Did you want pepperoni, Ash?" Her friend pulls out a thumbs up smiling. She approaches me with an empty plate.
"Here you can take it. Give it to your friend."
"Are you sure? Ash is not picky, at all. It's whatever!"
"Nah, it's okay I'll give it to her!"
For some reason, my head is locked in and I just without thinking. I wanted to go to the girl and talk to her face to face. She looked so gorgeous in that bikini and I was letting my heart lead me straight to her. I gulp as I walk toward her and her beautiful brown eyes meet mine.
