Chapter 47

I decided to expand the book by one more chapter. First of all, because I love ending my chapters at an even number and Graduation should be a stand alone as well as prom. I don't want to rush anything because I want to meet a certain word count limit. I want to be very detailed and you know how much I love details. So, we will have prom in this chapter and Graduation in chapter 48.

P. S. That's how the hall looks like for their prom up in the media.

"Okay I get it, I'm not booed up," Khalil's voice shot through our tiny chemistry bubble and we all turned to look at him leaning against bonnet of that car, hands folded across his chest.

"But that doesn't mean y'all should oppress me at every chance you get na!" He added and we all laughed while he pouted at us. He sounded genuinely pained but I knew he wasn't.

Or was he?

Because if she was here...

I had to stop myself from continuing that thought because I didn't want to feel sad and if Khalil notices a change in my mood, he would know what up immediately. All I wanted to do was to make him feel like he was with his family tonight, with people that would always have his back. I wanted him to have fun tonight. And me feeling sad would spoil all of that.

"Sorry coz." I heard Skye say and Khalil rolled his eyes mockingly and muttered some inaudible words.

"Let's go take pictures by the red carpet. There is absolutely no way we are missing that part of tonight." Vanessa said and we hooted, all of us moving towards the red carpet. Thankfully, the crowd had dissipated, leaving room for us to shine on our own accord, no one rushing us.

This night would be the night of our lives.

Khalil went over to lock the car, while the rest of us moved towards the red carpet. Elyon told me she wasn't going to wear her shoes until it was time for us to take our pictures so I held on to it for her with my right hand, had one of her hands in mine while she used the other to pack the train of her dress off the floor, even though I was pretty sure it wouldn't get stained because most of what was on the ground was carpet grass.

"Guys, it will soon be our turn to take picture. How do we do it?" Somadina asked.

"Couples picture first, definitely." Skye chipped. "Then the guys will take together, the girls will also take together and at the end, we have a joint group picture." She added and the guys nodded. That's sounded about fine.

Somadina and Vanessa were the first to take, and boy did they do a lot of crazy poses. Khalil had gone to stay with the guy taking our pictures, who was also our set mate. They were in the media together. Skye and Mateo went next, taking as many pictures as possible. I turned to Elyon who was standing beside me, hands looped with mine.
