Chapter 20: The Graduation Party
Huling Na-update:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Taylor's POV
It's finally the end of university life. Goodbye to examinations, teachers, detention; those are finally over for good. It is the beginning of adulthood that I was excited about. I've always been so busy with my university life that I never noticed when time flew by and it's already the end of my school journey. It feels like yesterday that Zach asked me to become his date for the graduation party.
On the other hand, I was still keeping contact with Liam. There was once when we were talking to each other and by the tone of his voice, I knew it was because of a girl. He finally confessed that he was dating Melissa.
Honestly speaking, I am happy for them. After all, everyone deserved a second chance and a happy ending.

However, we still keep contact with each other, even though we're in two different cities.Liam told me that Melissa was no longer an annoying bitch and she suddenly became nice to everyone and was starting to wear jeans.

I mean I was glad that she was changing

I stand there, frozen till I lock eyes with Melissa, and she pulls apart, saying, "Oh Taylor, didn't see you there."Zach looks behind and we immediately look at each other. The look on his face shows regret and something else that I cannot pinpoint. I feel a sharp pain in my heart, and I didn't realize I'm pulling at my clothing and tears roll down my face. Melissa gives me that idiotic smirk I hated so much, and I look away from her and look at Zach.Zach looks like he wants to say something, and I put my hand up to signal him to keep

The New Me Chapter 12: My Worst Nightmare
Taylor's POVHave you ever felt like nothing is worse than your nightmare? That's what I initially thought. I mean like really, nothing can be as bad as it seems to be. But today was nothing I like I would have expected it to be.I was on the way to school driving my car that my parents had given me on my eighteenth birthday last summer. I was extremely happy to see that they had bought me a red car, which was my favourite colour.I was driving my car and I didn't expect to get into an accident.
