"Did you see?" Mia asked, her voice high-pitched and breathless as she rushed into the kitchen. Her roommate, Sarah, looked up, startled. Mia thrust her phone forward, displaying the university website. "My essay! They used it!"

Sarah read the website's headline. The news was instantly followed by loud cheering, then high fives. Mia was practically bouncing off the walls, radiating something that Sarah could not contain.

The news hit her like an ocean wave, washing away the ordinary. She immediately turned on her music and danced around the room. She kept looking at the screen, unable to believe this was real.
