"A scholarship?" Emily asked as they drove home from school one day.
Midterms had come and gone and there was only a month left before the semester ended and they could all go home for winter break.
"Yeah, I saw a flyer for it in the engineering building. It's specifically for students who don't qualify for financial aid because of dumb loopholes. I don't qualify but I thought you might be interested so I grabbed one."
At a stoplight Justin pulled the folded piece of paper out of his pocket. He implied that there were many flyers but really this was the only one he printed. He set up a fake application website for the supposed full tuition scholarship. Other people could technically apply if they came across it but he was the only one with access to the applications so he could make sure it would only go to her.
Over the top? Probably. But that was how Justin's mind worked. He could only be happy if he knew Emily was happy and taken care of.
