He’d just received the call, the one he’d waited for, the one he’d dreamt of: he’d been accepted to Juilliard. He paced the small apartment, unable to contain the giddy feeling bubbling inside. He fumbled for his phone, eager to share the news with his older brother. He composed a joyous message, his fingers practically dancing across the screen. "I’m in! I’M IN! Gonna make it! Drinks are on me when you get back, dude!!" He paused, glancing at the contact name. *Mr. Harrison - Landlord*. He cackled, a bark of pure exhilaration.
