Well done, kid.

Now, don't panic. You got past the hardest bit already.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Yeah, see, I THOUGHT I had. Except my acceptance letter came with a TON of student orientation stuff, deposits for dorms, a meal plan and on and on and on! And I'm not even going to live on campus!

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Then you don't have to worry about the deposits for dorms or the meal plan.

Want I should come by and help you sort through it?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Um. Can I come to you?

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Sure. I'm in the X-Corps offices, ground floor.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Gimme an hour or two.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Perfect. I've got to call this guy in Syria anyway.

[x-minibruiser.livejournal.com]

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

THANKS!!!!!

[x-minibruiser.livejournal.com]

Toldja you could do it. :D

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

heh, yeah, yeah. It's this whole nerve wracking process though that seriously can change your future....and I'm not exactly a saint here.

[x-minibruiser.livejournal.com]

Don't sell yourself short, Matty. Two schools thought you were good to let you in, not just one. That means a lot. Y'know?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

well, the other was Westchester Community College, which was my backup school. I didn't want to go there.

[x-minibruiser.livejournal.com]

Which one did you wanna get into that you got into?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

So far I didn't get into NYU or Columbia, and I haven't heard back from St. John's or CUNY City College.

[x-minibruiser.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

oh, I misread what you wrote.

I got into Pace Westchester!

[x-minibruiser.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, cool!

So are you gonna start in the Fall?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

looks like it! I was really wanting to stay here and at Pace Westchester, I can.

[x-minibruiser.livejournal.com]

Oh! Really? Oh! Neat!

But does that mean you won't get to be a New Mutant anymore?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Well...I turn 18 in May, Mols. I was thinking about upgrading, if they'll take me.

[x-minibruiser.livejournal.com]

Oh...that's good. Being an X-Person is important.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

If they'll take me.

[x-minibruiser.livejournal.com]

Never know til you try. :)

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

I don't really have battle-useful powers like you, you know?

[x-minibruiser.livejournal.com]

Batman has no powers and he's on the Justice League. Oracle has no powers and she's on the Bird's of Prey. You got powers. And you're quick and bendy and stuff.

You just haven't really had a chance to use them and stuff other than just in self defense. We don't fight real bad guys in self-defense. So we don't think...outside the box, y'know?

The X-People have to so they can help you think of cool ways to use your powers.

I'm so jealous! I gotta wait like a bajillion years and even then Mr. Angelo says you gotta have a parent sign off and my parents are evil.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Well, mine didn't sign off either, it's why I have to wait until I'm 18. It's not really like I could ask my social worker to do it. Or like she would.

Evil parents suck.

Congratulations, Matt.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

thanks! happy birthday!

[xp_daytripper]

That's great bloody news, Matt. Well done.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Amanda. I've been really nervous.

[x-meggan.livejournal.com]

Congratulations to you, Matt--that's wonderful news to hear!
