The result!!

The three friends spent the next few weeks studying intensively for the exam. They met up every day, reviewing notes, practicing problems, and quizzing each other. Eva's grandmother provided endless support, making them snacks and drinks, and even helping them review their notes.

On the day of the exam, Eva's grandmother prayed for her before she left the house. "May God guide your mind and heart, Eva. May you remember everything you've studied, and may you do your best. I'm so proud of you, no matter what happens."

Eva felt a surge of confidence and gratitude as she hugged her grandmother goodbye. She met up with Daniel and Ruth at the school, and they all took the exam together.

After what felt like an eternity, the exam finally ended, and the three friends breathed a sigh of relief. They went their separate ways, promising to meet up soon to find out the results.

Days passed, and Eva was getting anxious. She had been checking the website every hour, but there was no update yet. She was working at the cafe when Daniel burst in, a huge grin on his face.

"Eva, the results are out!" he exclaimed. "I had to come tell you in person!"

Eva's heart skipped a beat as she finished her shift and met up with Daniel outside. They walked to the school together, Ruth joining them along the way.

As they reached the school, Eva's heart was racing. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them to see the results posted on the bulletin board.

And then she saw it - her name, on the list of students who had passed the exam. She felt a surge of joy and disbelief, and her friends rushed to congratulate her.

But as they looked closer, they realized that only Eva had passed. Daniel and Ruth had not made it.

Eva felt a pang of guilt and sadness. "I can't leave you guys behind," she said, shaking her head. "I won't take the offer."

But Daniel and Ruth were insistent. "Eva, this is your chance," Daniel said. "You have to take it. We'll be happy for you, no matter what."

Ruth nodded in agreement. "Yeah, Eva, you deserve this. We'll support you every step of the way."

Eva looked at her friends, and her heart swelled with gratitude. She knew they were right. She had to take this chance.

"Okay," she said finally, smiling. "I'll take it."

Ruth pulled out a few bills from her pocket and grinned. "Ice cream's on me, friends! Let's go celebrate!"

Eva and Daniel cheered, and the three of them set off towards the mall, eager to indulge in some sweet treats. As they walked, they chatted excitedly about Eva's acceptance and what the future held.

"I can't believe I'm actually going to attend that school!" Eva exclaimed. "It feels like a dream come true."

"You deserve it, Eva," Daniel said. "You've worked so hard for this. I'm beyond proud of you."

Ruth nodded in agreement. "We're all proud of you, Eva. You're going to do amazing things."

Once they arrived at the mall, they made a beeline for the ice cream parlor. Ruth treated them to their favorite flavors, and they sat down at a table, savoring the creamy delights.

"This is the best day ever!" Eva exclaimed, her eyes shining with happiness.

Daniel nodded in agreement. "Definitely one for the books. And we get to celebrate with the most amazing ice cream ever!"

Ruth grinned, her eyes sparkling with joy. "I'm so proud of you, Eva. You deserve this and so much more. We're going to miss you so much when you leave, but we know you're going to do great things."

As they licked their cones, the three friends couldn't stop smiling. They knew that this was just the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives, and they were thrilled to be facing it together.

After finishing their ice cream, they decided to take a walk around the mall, enjoying the sights and sounds of the bustling shopping center. They window-shopped, laughed, and joked, savoring every moment of their time together.

As the day drew to a close, they reluctantly said their goodbyes and headed their separate ways, already planning their next get-together.

Eva walked home with a heart full of joy and gratitude, knowing that she had the best friends in the world. She couldn't wait to see what the future held for her, and she knew that no matter what, Daniel and Ruth would always be there to support her every step of the way. She rushed home to tell her grandmother the good news
