POV: Shin-ae

"I'm...so...hungryyy" I groan, plopping down on the couch. I had just finished final shift at Wacdonalds, but it was still a wild one. My last customer demanded a refund on her chicken nuggies because she 'had more of the circular ones than the oval ones'. I sighed and opened up a bag of potato chips. I kinda liked that job, but I realized that I should just stick with the job that gives me more. It would be less stressful that way.

I still couldn't believe that last week I had graduated from high school. I had already put in several applications for colleges, but so far, none of them had gotten back to me. Heck, how could I even afford for college? I definitely don't have enough, and I definitely don't want my father to have to struggle to keep me in...

"Ugh, why can't life be simple." I take a big bite of potato chip, but nearly choked as the front door slammed open.
"A LETTER-" my dad started, but tripped over my shoes and fell flat on his face.
"Sorry, I should've moved those to the side..." I giggled nervously, standing up to help him. As he got up, he handed me a big envelope.
"A letter! From 'The University of Tokyo'!!!" He said excitedly.
"Yeah, how happy I am to see that they don't want me." I mutter, tearing the envelope to open it. I felt my heart beating profusely as I scanned over the piece of paper.
"Well?" dad asked.

I handed him the envelope and looked down.
He scanned it over and looked up, even more excitement in his eyes.
"YOU GOT ACCEPTED!!!"He screamed, pulling me into a hug, "IM SO HAPPY!!"
"But, how will I pay?" I asked.
He pulled back and pointed on the paper.
"It says that because of your financial issues, you have most of your tuition cut off!"
I looked at the area on the paper.
"And it also says that I am not approved for living on campus.." I sigh, "how will I live there?"

"Get a roommate! I bet that there are loads of people looking for the same thing!" He held my shoulders, "come on, this is a really good opportunity for you." He smiled.
"Fine.." I sighed.

'This will be interesting...'
