"The list of the Dean's Lister this semester is already pinned on our bulletin board." our professor announced and dismissed our class. This is our last subject for today, it is still early to go home since I am just living alone. Rays and I went to the bulletin board to check if we made it.

"Yes!!!" Rays shout out of joy because she made it. "Where are you Lim..." she also checked mine.  

"Lays, you also got it in!" my eyes widened as I heard Rays celebrating because we both got in. 

"You know what Rays, we should celebrate, we also don't have classes tomorrow." I smiled and pulled her out and went to the parking lot.

"Hop in!" I said when I let her hand. We will go to our favorite bar to celebrate.

"I know where we are going, Lays..." she smiled. During our trip, we talked about love and our life after we graduate.

"We will get it to the top and be producers soon," I said while driving. After 30 minutes of driving, we arrived at our favorite place and ordered our favorite drinks. We can't drink hard right now because I need to drive home.

"Hey Lays, wouldn't you mind dating someone again?" I sipped in my glass when I heard Rays question. "Don't take it too much, I just want to see you happy again with someone."

"You know I struggled a lot trusting someone again after what happened to me and JM." a very tragic memory. I hate him because he cheat multiple times and I still choose to forgive him, not until one of my best friends got pregnant by him. "4 years of being a battered person." 

"We used to be 3 before." Rays said. Yes, we used to be 3 before but only in one mistake in one night she evicted herself. And now she is a mother with JM.

"It's her choice, I mean it's their choice." I sipped and trying not to cry. "I will go to the toilet." As I entered the comfort room, I saw myself in the mirror holding my tears not to fall. I covered my mouth as I cry while looking in the mirror.

"I want to be better," I whispered

"Lays, why are you taking so long? We need to go home." Rays knocked and I wiped my tears and washed my face quickly.

"I just sobered up inside." I excused.

I dropped off Rays at her place and drive all the way to my place to get some rest. As soon as I arrived at my place, I packed some of my things because I am planning to go home.
