“ M iss Caddel, your tuition is paid through the end of the year,” the clerk says as she types away on her computer.

“No, there must be some mistake. I haven’t even made my last payment for this semester. Can you look again?” I steeple my fingers along the counter, nervous energy flowing through me. I came to ask for an extension because with everything going on, I haven’t been able to make the money I needed.

“Miss, it says right here.” She turns the monitor so I can see the proof plain as day.

“I-I don’t understand,” I say quietly, thoughts running through my head. Each more unlikely than the last.

“Oh, I see now. There was a donation on your behalf about two weeks ago. It paid off what you owed for this semester, and put you over on your tuition. You are all caught up for the rest of this year. See here. Look. The paperwork has already been submitted. So, no need to worry about that, dear. It seems like you have quite a good friend who cares for you very much.”

I grab the receipts from her, folding them and sliding them in my back pocket.

“Thanks for your help,” I reply as I leave the registrar’s office. The warm sun beats down on me as I walk across campus to the shaded sitting area. I pull out my phone and text the group chat.

Rowyn:

Went by the registrar’s office today. I’m sure you know what I found.
