It was a rare occasion for Alex to get mail. He didn't have any bills, he didn't order much from online and he didn't have any family to send him things. This time he was expecting mail. He had taken his GED test two weeks ago and the results had finally come in.

Now he just had to open the envelope and see what his results were.

Except he couldn't do it. He just stared at the envelope in his hands.

	She took it from him. "You sure about it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-11-22 03:14 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," he said. "I can't do it. I'd rather have you open it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, if you say so..." Nim carefully opened the envelope. "You want me to tell you what it says...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Please," Alex said with apprehension. He shied away as if expecting a physical blow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She carefully looked at the results, making just a bit of a show of studying them. "Relax," Nim said after a moment. "You passed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex sighed heavily with relief and then hugged Nim. "Thank you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2011-11-23 12:20 am UTC (link)
	Surprise hug! Ack! Nim grinned. "Congrats, Alex!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-11-23 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks! I didn't think I was going to pass." The smile on his face was huge. Passing this was reason for celebration and he'd have to ask Mel what she wanted to do. He hugged her again. "Thanks for opening that for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No prob," she replied. "I didn't even know you were studying for it!" Huh. Maybe she ought to consider going back to college. Saving the world, discovering you're a princess, learning court off and on, those things had a way of derailing everything else. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I kept it quiet because I was a little embarrassed that I didn't even graduate high school. I didn't even make it past the sixth grade." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nim shrugged. "I don't think any of us would have judged you, Alex. You had... a really different childhood than the rest of us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-11-23 01:49 am UTC (link)
	"I know," he said and knew they wouldn't judge him for it. "It's just...I guess I don't like to talk about my past much and there are things I'm not proud of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2011-11-23 02:05 am UTC (link)
	"Well, you're one of us now," she told him. "That's all that matters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-11-23 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"I know and I'm really glad I'm here." He gave her a small smile. "I should probably go tell Mel, shouldn't I?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2011-11-24 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"Bet she'd like that," Nim agreed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-11-24 01:55 am UTC (link)
	"I think so. Thank you." With that he'll go find Mel. (Reply to this)(Parent)
