"Roberta Barraquias, with high honors!"
I went to the stage with my tita, tita Harmony. Siya ang nagsabit saakin ng medalya. I was with high honors. I finished the school year, wherein I didn't expect that I will finish because I was mentally unstable.
Me, Matt, Ladim, Nadia were in the honors list. Sadly Andi wasn't there. She's still at the mental facility.
After the moving up program, my circle of friends scream outside. "Senior high school na tayo!" they say.
All of them hugged me.
"Congrats sister," my brother says.
"Thanks," I smiled back.
I'm still on medications and on therapy but now I was able to finish my high school, and manage everything. I was thankful for my friends and my brother, and late comer, tita Harmony.
A week later, we visited the mental facility and Andi was discharged. I saw her walking on the hallway.
"Andi?!" the whole circle of friends screamed.
"Guys?!" she smiled at us.
We ran towards her and hugged her. "We miss you!"
"I missed you guys too!" she says. "I'm mentally stable again now but sadly di ako nakamoving up." She pouted.
"Don't worry, kami kami pa rin naman ang makakasama mo, you can take the summer class!" Nadia says. "I've talked to Ma'am Briela at pumayag siya at ang principal so there's nothing to worry about na!"
"REALLY?!" Andi says in disbelief.
"Yep it's true," Ladim nods.
I went outside with Matt and the flower petals were flying. I looked up onto him, holding his hand. My hair was flying and his' too.
"We made it!" I say happily.
"Yep we really made it this far." He said, looking at me with a smile.
