The Man I Never Thought I'll Fall To

Chapter Fourteen

Few days had passed, everybody are so busy going to one mall after another. They are looking for that perfect dress and perfect long sleeves, shoes and accessories for their graduation day.

The teachers already gave their final exams and all the students have to do is take a beauty rest.

This school year is so stressful. It's hard to focus whether you enjoy the last few days of your high school life or feed yourself with endless vocabulary and physics problems.

This year seemed to pass by in a blink of an eye. A lot had happened and the students couldn't almost believe it's soon to be over.

Every graduation, the students must practice proper actions such as taking a bow gracefully when your name is called and their respective seats once the ceremony has begun.

Yanna is used to be at the top 10 ever since she was in Grade school so she always expects to be seated at the front, together with the fellow honorable students. When the coordinator called her name and direct her to her seat, she is a little bit upset because her rank is only in 3rd Honors.

But thankfully, she still has an award. And she's a gold medalist for having such an impeccable behavior in class.

Seated to her left is Rams. Just like Yanna, she composes songs, writes in her diary and often seen with her group of friends. There comes Ruby, Trey and more with the awards they've been working on for the past few years.

"No Regrets. This is it 4 - Wellness. Congratulations! Thank you for all the memories." -  Yanna's group text message.

Graduation Day

Time has passed and soon it is the moment they've been waiting for.

It's the Graduation Day.

Everyone, together with their parents / guardians are all dressed in semi-formal. High inches of heels, and heartbreaking scenes filled the atmosphere. Friends keep on hugging each other, never wanted to say goodbye, but they had to.

The boys usually don't get emotional in this sort of things but you can see on their faces that they are sad. High school is all about creating friendships. Improving oneself, creating your own legacy and keeping memories.

Life has its ups and downs but we could always make it. Aside from learning academically, we also learn how to love, how to help, how to be kind, how to be selfless, how to forgive.

High school isn't about who's the most popular, who's the most pretty, etc. It is about building oneself before you are hatched to your shell and step on the real world.

Yanna is with her mom and other relatives that seemed to support her for all her accomplishments. For some, it is real happiness to have your family so close to you but for her, it seems to be empty. There is something she was looking for to be ready.

She scanned the crowd looking for Nathan and planned to give him one last glance. There was suddenly a flashback.

********************

10 days before Graduation.

It's already 6 pm when the class finished their final projects.

Harry always accompanies his girlfriend on her way home. As they were exiting the gate, they saw Yanna walking alone. With too many things in her hands.

Yanna saw the two and flash a weak smile then looked at the ground.

"Poor Yanna, no one will accompany you on your way home." Harry said mocking her.
