“Oh, Libby, I’m just so proud of you,” Libby’s mother, Martha, said to Libby while sobbing, “your going off to college and- and- your never going to see me again!” “Mom, don’t cry, you know how I feel about that,” Libby said, “I’m going to visit you know, just as long as I have a reserved seat during Thanksgiving and that I can afford a plane ticket all the way back here.” “I’m sorry, darling. Yes, I know you don’t like to se me cry, but- I’m just so proud of you!” Martha exclaimed sniffling. “Good job, monkey,” Libby’s dad, Drew, said. “You’ve made it through all the forks in the road. Now you just need to focus on your major and you need to do good while in New York!” “I still can’t believe that you made it to New York and I didn’t,” Nathan said. “I had been trying so hard to go anywhere that wasn’t near this god forsaken place.” “Well, maybe if you had kept up your studies and didn’t go sneaking off at night then you would be going to college with your daring sister,” Martha said with a bitter tone. “Yeah, well…” Nathan tried to respond. They kept driving for a good ten minutes until they finally reached Libby’s school. As Libby got out of her car, she was quickly greeted by her two friends Marilyn and Rebecca. The two girls walked up to her, obviously nervous. Rebecca was going to USC and Marilyn was joining Libby in New York.
