Liam stared at his phone, a goofy grin plastered across his face. He kept refreshing the admissions page, as if the website might magically change, providing new information. He felt a bubbly excitement, and his chest felt full. He’d recognized his words immediately.

His pulse quickened at the thought of other people reading his writing, of them knowing his story. He’d always felt a bit invisible, but now he felt… noticed. He imagined the admissions officers, whoever they were, sitting and reading his innermost feelings.

He closed his eyes for a moment, savoring the feeling. The world seemed painted in brighter hues, the dullness of the library, the flickering screen, it was all beautiful now. He felt compelled to text everyone he knew, but for now, he decided to just let this feeling simmer.
