The news hit Clara like a bolt of lightning. The scholarship… a mistake. Meant for someone else. Disappointment? No. Instead, a surge, an explosion in her chest. A feeling of lightness, of almost unbearable joy. She’d been working so hard, pushing so relentlessly. This… this was her reward.

She burst out laughing, a sound that echoed through the quiet library. People stared. She didn't care. She felt like she could fly. She grabbed her books and practically danced to the exit. She was going to study, she was going to learn, she was going to *live*.
