Will's burned me

I've burned him

Time to call it even?
"Melissa's been accepted to Smith College," Amy explained to Will. "Her 'dream school'"
Will felt a strange thud inside his chest. Melissa was going to Smith? When did that happen? And when had she been planning to tell him all this? Not that it mattered now. But still. If this had been in the works all along, did it mean she'd never planned on being with him after graduation?
For years they had talked about going off to the same college. They'd planned to stay in the dorms the first couple of years and then maybe rent a place together - if they could get her parents to agree to it.
Get over it, he tols himself. Obviously Liss is moving on. Why can't you?
Suddenly Will remembered something - the letter from NYU. He was moving on. All the way to the Big Apple, in fact. He smiled. Then he sat forward and cleared his throat. "Hey, guys. Speaking of college, I've got some news."
"What?" Josh asked. The others grew silent and stared at him expectantly.
Will took a deep breath and said, "I got accepted to New York University."
If Melissa thought she could just run off to an East Coast school and totally blow off everything, fine. She wasn't the only one.
