"Mom....." Rose heard Ava calling her. She was attending to a customer, when Ava came calling.
From the look on her daughter's face, she could tell that there was good news.
"Mommy" Ava called again, with the most beautiful smile her mother had ever seen.
"What's behind this happy face, honey?" Rose asked, eagerly. Smiling along with her daughter, even though she was yet to know the reason for her smile.
Ava didn't answer her mom, but rather hugged her tightly instead.
"I got it, mom" She smiled so hard. "I finally got it" She added, a smile not leaving her face.
Her mom frowned a little, still not getting what Ava was talking about.
"I got the scholarship!" She screamed it out, almost making her mum go deaf.
Rose's eyes widened in complete surprise and joy.
"You did? Like, you really got the scholarship?" Rose couldn't believe what Ava just told her. "This is one of your pranks, huh? Her mom then asked, not wanting to believe her at all.
Well, Ava had applied for scholarships countless times without being given any. So it was hard for her mom to believe.
"Take this and see for yourself, geez!" Ava said in excitement, handing her mom the sheet of paper she printed out.
"You really got it, oh my goodness! Rose exclaimed, happily.
"Yes mommy. Since four days ago. I already thought I was not going to get it. So I stopped checking and had no idea I have gotten it.
"So that means you can start school even tomorrow? Rose asked, excitedly.
"Even this instance, mommy" Ava replied happily
Rose was way more than happy. That was what her daughter had always wished for, and her dreams finally come true.
"We should be celebrating this" Ava said, instantly holding her mom's hand like a kid's.
"Yes baby, we should" Rose quickly said and started gathering the things together.
"You want to close already?" Ava asked, seeing her mom packing in the things already.
"What's the use of staying when there are no customers" Rose asked, shaking her head.
Ava looked at her and smiled, sadly.
There are days that not even one single customer buys food from them.
The food truck business just keeps dwindling everyday, because there's no money to stock it.
Anyway, Rose held onto her daughter as they both walked home together.
[ 8:00PM * HARTS RESIDENCE ]
The Harts family were all seated on the dinning table having their supper, when Jaxon walked in.
He rolled eyes at no one in particular as he got in.
"Another dance class? Football?" His dad asked, knowing exactly where Jaxon was.
Jaxon is a grumpy, impatient and hot tempered dance instructor and loves sports too. He's very good in both.
Jaxon rolled his eyes again, but this time, at his dad.
"Dad, stop bugging me, please. I am a dancer, I love it and you can't change that.
I am an adult and I know what I want, you can't choose for me"
"I don't want to handle the company, because I am not interested. Besides, I'm still in school" Jaxon said it out clear to his dad.
"If you keep bugging me with this, I will go back to school and never come back" He added.
"Talk to your son" Was all that his dad said, because he was actually lost of words.
Without saying anything else, he walked out of the dining room.
Jaxon's father is the second richest billionaire in England. He wants Jaxon to run his companies, but Jaxon is interested In something else.
"Jax bebe!" Maisie, Jaxon's little sister called.
"Stop calling me that, witch" Jaxon fired at immediately.
"What? I love you, Jax bebe. And I'm your baby sister, so I can call you any name, right?
Right? She doubled the question, getting Jaxon more annoyed.
Jaxon rolled eyes at her, hissing.
Jaxon and Maisie are always fighting like babies. Maisie is just 12, while Jaxon is 22, but it's always as if they're mates.
"Jaxon, you just have...."
"Not now, mom" Jaxon cuts his mum off immediately as he already knew what she was about to say.
"We'll talk about this later" Margaret said and left the dining room too.
It was just Jaxon, Maisie and their grandma (Grand Ma-pee).
"Why are you looking at me like that, Grand Ma-pee?" Jaxon questioned, when he noticed his Grandma staring at him, funnily.
"Have you found a girlfriend yet?" Grand Ma-pee blurted out.
"Give me a break, Grandma. You guys are suffocating me in this house.
I'm going back to school first thing tomorrow morning" Jaxon said and left the dining as well.
"I will bring one for you, if you don't mind" Grand Ma-pee said loudly as Jaxon walked away.
She and Maisie laughed and high fives, before continuing with their food.
[ 8:15AM * AVA'S RESIDENCE * NEXT DAY ]
It was morning the next day.
Ava was set and ready for her first day in school.
"Oh my! Is this my daughter?" Rose asked, staring at Ava, who walked down to meet her mom in the living room.
"You look incredible, baby" she said.
"It's the same clothes I've always worn, mommy. Nothing new" Ava chuckled out lightly.
"But you always rock in them" Rose replied with a smile.
