Is the light really at the end of the tunnel...

Chapter 19

The assignment that we were given a while back was finally due this week so that meant that we had a lot of work to do.

We were supposed to work on it the minute it was handed out but we didn’t so that’s that, we’re lazy and can’t help it but today was the day we decided to work on it and so I called the gang over.

Kyle wasn’t in our group since we were paired before he came and it was already full so he was paired with a group that had less members.

Mami went out to run some errands and also to attend her meetings that she usually calls once every two weeks, Kyle went to work with his group so that meant I was the only one at home waiting for my group to arrive.

They finally arrived and now we were I my room trying to come up with some ideas of what to do and after a lot of arguments we decided to go with a poem.

“Okay so what are we going to write about?” Ethan asked 

“That’s going to be hard,” Matt said scratching his head.

“Guys please let’s just think because we really don’t have much time, I mean we only have this week so it’s safe to say I’m kind of panicking okay, so please someone just say something, anything,” I blurted out starting to panic.

“Can someone say something quickly before little miss panicky loses her mind over here,” Elle said chewing her pen whilst looking at her phone

“Calm down,” Dylan said while on whatever was on his laptop.

Three whole hours were spent discussing on what we were going to write about and finally figured it out because I was getting worried that we were going nowhere with this and were going to fail.

Since this was group work we all decided to have an equal input in the poem. Every one of us will write a small stanza about a different type of emotion that they have felt before and then at the end we will sum it up about how these different emotions can have an impact on a person’s life, obviously putting it in a poem form.

We finally finished the poem, did the final draft and now all we have to do is to hand it in. When the final draft was done we decided to go and treat ourselves to lunch.

We found a spot, well it was our favourite diner so anyways we sat there and ordered our food.

We stayed for some time and then left. When I arrived home mami was already back and was in the living room so I had a quick shower and went to join her.

A moment later Kyle arrived, he did the same and came to join us.
Later we helped mami make some dinner for the three of us, we ate and went to our rooms to get ready for bed.

*************next morning*************

I did my morning routine as usual and went down for breakfast.
“Hey family,” I greeted
“Hey baby,”
“Hey little sis,”
They both replied at the same time.

We had small conversation over breakfast and went to school.

Nothing interesting happened there, it was just another usual day at school and we also handed in our project two days early because it was due on Thursday.

************TIME SKIP****************

The year came to an end, my friends and I finally graduated from high school including Kyle.

We went to the same college but in different campuses. Well it was a technical college so yeah. Ethan, Kyle and Jasmine were in the electrical side, And Rea and Dylan were in mechanical and Matthew, Giselle and I were in civil engineering.

         ****EIGHT YEARS LATER*******

All of us studied, are working with good companies and are basically settled in our own ways.
Andrea and Ethan-- these two have been dating for the past two years. They got an apartment together and have been looking to buy a house so everything has been going great for them.

Dylan and Giselle-- they have been in an on and off relationship but now they decided to take a break and figure out their feelings for each other but they are still good friends.

Kyle and Jasmine-- my brother has been dating for five years excluding the three years that they separated, college does that to relationships sometimes. Kyle introduced her to mom and she loved her like her own. I think he is planning on proposing to next at the end of this year or early next year.

Matthew and I-- well I’m still single mostly because I wanted to focus on me first, get everything in check and a relationship would have just made me unfocused and trust me I know myself, at the slightest inconvenience I’m already giving up. Matthew and I are still good friends, best friends even, we do everything together. We are inseparable and he hasn’t been in a relationship after Jas. He has his own apartment while Elle and I share ours, we’re roommates if you didn’t catch that.

Mami-- everything has been going great for her, she even started another clothing company for babies, I know that it’s weird and every time I ask her she says it’s for her future grandbabies.

I would tell you about my mom and sisters but I can’t because it’s like I never existed in their lives so all I can tell you is that everything has been going great for them according to the news.

The stalker-- I never really saw him after the day I saw him at mom’s house which was a relief and no ever really touched the subject. I also didn’t forget those eyes and birthmark and the fact that mami and Matt’s parents handed the wrong guy to the police… So that is basically the summary of the past eight years.
