"Congrats, Dani!" They all said at once.

Today's my graduation, I finally graduated four years of hell, a lot happened, most of them were painful but it was a great pain from great people.

I hugged my friends and walked, we're going into a restaurant to eat and celebrate, mamaya ay may pa-dinner sina Papa para sa 'kin, wala rin si Christine ngayon dahil finals pa rin sila pero hahabol naman siya mamayang gabi.

I walked towards my car and noticed that there's rose sticked at the windshield, may note pa.

'Congratulations, Dani, this is the last rose you'll receive because we're going to part ways na. Masyado naman yata akong duwag kung hindi ako magpapakilala, hindi ba? If you can, meet me at the park near the school at 6 PM.' - Luca

Nagulat ako nang mabasa 'yong pangalan, he is the fucking son of the dean, my enemy 3 years ago but I don't care about him until now.

I hurriedly enter my car just to scream, hindi naman sa kinikilig ako pero bakit? Siya ba 'yong secret admirer ko, who has been giving me gifts or something ever since first year college.

I brushed off the thoughts and just drove to the restaurant.

When I arrived at the restaurant they're already talking, nakapag-reserve na kasi si Czarine dahil friend niya 'yong may ari. Balak ko ring mag business but I'm not yet suitable for that, ni wala pa nga ako source of income, e.

We greeted each other and I joined their conversation, maya maya rin ay nag order na kami. Buti nga at maagang natapos 'yong graduation than we expected.

We all went silent when our orders came, it's actually our first time eating here except for Czarine, of course.

We all gasped at sync while looking at the food that is serving in front of us, "May pangbayad kaya ako?" Ria joked that made us all laugh.

Siyempre, hindi mawawala ang picture taking bago kumain, the restaurant gives me classic vibes that's why I immediately liked the interior. I took some photos of the foods to post it on my IG later.

"Alright! Someone please lead the prayer," Czarine squealed, para pa rin kaming nasa eskwalahan dahil bago kumain ay nagdadasal talaga kami, it's like we've adapted it, "Ako na," Erin said then laugh.

We all made the sign of the cross before Erin starts to pray.

"Lord, we thank You for giving us strength and motivation. We thank You for being there since day 1, guiding us and putting us into the right path. Now that we all graduated, we're going to part ways so please still guide us going to the right way. We thank You for the blessings we received. We thank You for the food that is served in front of us, Amen." Erin prayed.

Nagsimula na kaming kumain matapos magdasal ni Erin. I'm just so thankful that I have a great circle of friends.

"So, what are your plans this summer?" Czarine asked.

"Magstay daw kami sa resthouse sabi ni Dad," Ria answered.

"Sa Seattle lang," Erin answered.

"I'm planning to go to Paris," I answered.

"I won't be able to stay here with you guys, I'm going to fly to New York," Lorainne said in a sad tone.

"Ha? Dapat ba may plano? Charot, sa Boracay yata kami," Lana answered.

We're all going abroad, huh?

"Sa sobrang yaman ni Erin parang one hour drive lang sa kaniya 'yong Seattle," Ria joked again, "Tanga, uuwi ako kina Mom kaya sanay na 'ko," Erin fired back that made us all laugh dahil parati na lang sila nag-babangayan ni Ria.
