Chapter 6

Myra's P.O.V.

Today is what we have been waiting for. Because it’s our graduation day!

"It feels so good to know that we have already graduated!" Hazel said and smiled, one of my classmate.

"Yeah all hard works has been paid off, but we're going to split up" Dave said. The tone of his voice is full of sadness made us feel sad too.

We’ve been together for almost 9 years, We are classmates since highschool up to now.

"That's why we should enjoy tomorrow night" Cass said, happily.

Tomorrow night, we will all have a drink party fot our batch 2019-2020.

"Let's take a selfie first before calling our name" Paulo said.

We took a selfie and waited for the names of our sections to be called.

"Myraquel Gonzaga" Say my name.

I got up and I heard the applause, of course the applause was scripted, Sir said the one who did not applaud would not graduate.

"Thank you" I said as our principal handed me my diploma.

My heart was full of joy, Now I can chase my dreams because I’m done studying. I walked back to my seat, but even before I could sit down I felt dizzy.

Suddenly my sight keep on rotating itself, so I stopped walking and grabbed my head.

"Hey? Are you okay?" Cass asked and helped me to sit down.

"What happened?" Dave asked.

"I was just dizzy" I said and closed my eyes.

"Hey? Are you okay? What happened?" Hazel asked.

"I'm fine guys" I said.

"Drink some water first" Cass said and handed me a bottled of water.

"Rest there first" Cass said.

"Don’t worry my dizziness will disappear later" I said.

I just applauded for every student who was called but I was still struggling with dizziness and accompanied by a headache.

**

We all finished the ceremony and we graduated. We congratulated each other and took selfies.

"It's annoying that I delayed again" I told Cass.

"I was like that sometimes" Cass said.

"I'm a regular, I don't know why not now" I said.

"Ow no! menstrual talk" Dave said laughing.

"You're really gossipy" Cass said and punched Dave on his arm.

"Hey, maybe you two end up together" I said and laughed.

"Yuck don't! never!" Cass shouted.

I just smiled to them and watch them tease each other.

I went to Mom who was in the Canteen and bought her food, she was watching my graduation.

Then we went home together.

The next night was our batch celebration.

We wore the printed T-shirt where we all looked alike. Sir John also joined and joined us because he was our supervisor.

My phone suddenly vibrate, I pick it up from my pocket.

From: Nhel

'Be careful, you are not allowed to drink until I am the one you are with. Go home right away and text me. I will be overtime here for my part time job to earn more salary, I love you '

I immediately replied to him.

'All right Love, you are also not allowed to drink ha and then don't get too tired there, you might not be able to eat and letting yourself starve just because you’re saving money. I’ll text you later ha. I love you too '.

"I hope all have a boyfriend" Cass jokingly said.

"That's Dave" I said while pointing at Dave who was coming to our table with a beer case.

"Are you going to drink?" Cass asked me.

"I'm not allowed" I said.

"I’ll have just one bottle, don't tell my Dad" Cass said and approached Sir who was preparing glasses and ice.

"Just try!" Cass said and took a pick of food.

"Wow, a lot of food" I commented.

I got up from my chair and got a plate. It was like we were at a fiesta because there was a lot of food but we didn't really drink.

I got spaghetti, shanghai, chicken and vegetable salad.

"Hhhhmm! That smells good" I said to Andrei and looked at what he was carrying.

Pure gelatin with a different flavors.

"Can I already get some?" I asked.

"All right, just go and get" Andrei said and lowered his belongings to the table.

I got another plate for dessert gelatin.

I can say that the scent is really and it looks delicious.

I went back to my table and they looked at me because of what I was carrying.

"You won't drink?" Dave asked me.

"No, I'll just eat" I said.

"You ate a lot that’s why you became fat" Loid said, teasing me.

"Lol, shut up" I said and started eating.

"I'm sorry besty" Cass said and ate a food at my plate.

"Just drink slowly, you are not used to it, you might get drunk, That would be bad" I said.

"I know" Cass said.

"Gelatin is really delicious" I said as I tasted it. Exactly right because my favorite is strawberry flavor.

After a while, my smelling has changed, because the smell of alcohol was getting stronger.

"You smell drunk" I said to Cass.

"Crazy" it simply says.

I took my plate and took some gelatin, I never went back to my seat because my classmates were stinking.

"Smell of alcohol" I whispered while scooping gelatin.

"Is it delicious?" I was stunned in my position when I heard the familiar voice.

"Yes sir John" I replied.

"Good and you liked it, I made that gelatin" said Sir.

My eyes widen, what? He’s the one who made this?

"Ahh" I just said.

The smell of alcohol is really poisonous because it stinks and I hate it.

"All right, rest first, or maybe you want to sing" said Sir and pointed the mic.

I agreed and went to the karaoke.

It’s been a while since I sang like this and the crowd was watching.

She will be loved.

🎤Beauty queen of only eighteen she

Had some trouble with herself

He was always there to help her, she

Always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles and wound up

At your door

I've had you so many times but somehow I want more

I saw them applauding as they watched me.

"Nice one!" Cass shouted.

🎤I don't mind spendin 'everyday

Out on your corner in the pourin 'rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

I turned to my classmates for the Chorus and invited them to join me.

🎤And she will be loved, and she will be loved

I looked at Sir who was just sitting. He's just staring at me. So I felt awkwardness.

🎤Tap on my window, knock on my door, I

Want to make you feel beautiful

I know I tend to get so insecure

It doesn't matter anymore

When I finished my song I walked away from them drinking, I no longer liked the smell and they talked.

John's P.O.V

She has a very unique tone of voice. Her voice is so beautiful.

When she finished singing she walked away, I just stared at her beauty. Very simple and very attractive.

I can't help but look at her. I still recognize the moment of my desire. The night that we made love.
