Testing new things

Friday 20 June 2008, Luna Nova

"The days in Luna Nova were going pretty smoothly, I was even doing well in the final exams, doing everything more calmly, as well as the activities, since every Friday I was studying the content with my girlfriend who helped me whenever possible, and I was getting within a foot of graduation, doing everything right, it was finally the moment I had been waiting for so long, I was finally graduating from the place I'd always dreamed of studying to become a witch, it was a real shame that Mum couldn't attend the graduation live at the moment I received my diploma, because of the assault, and I tried really hard to get her to attend at all costs, but nothing worked, finally I was here at the end of my studies and that made me so happy."

Wow, it's today, it's finally today, I've been waiting a long time for this moment, I've finally graduated, I'm so happy to be able to put on these clothes, it's a huge honour, I keep looking at my friends, they're all smiling and very excited, oh I've finally fulfilled a dream of mine, who would have thought I'd get to the end, I'm so excited.

"We've finally graduated, haven't we, I thought this day would never come, but we're finally here, graduates" said Becca.

"Look, it's been the best three years of my life getting to know you, at first I was a real pain in the arse, but today I see that I've improved a lot, I've matured a lot since all that happened to me, I've been able to grow as a person and realise that I value what's good for me, you've given me new eyes on this world and I'll never forget that" said my girlfriend.

"I've realised my dream, to study at Luna Nova and graduate here, I've always wanted to do this, ever since I was a child, when I heard the stories my mothers told me, I always wanted to be a witch studying here, to meet my friends, to live my adventures, and apparently I've had them all, it's been a long time, I won't forget how I've spent all this with you, these three years studying with my friends and having fun on adventures, it's been really wonderful, I love you" I say, hugging them.

We finished dressing for the graduation, our bags were already packed, this time the room was really empty, we only ended up leaving the other things like the cooker, fridge and everything else in the room, maybe someone will be lucky enough to take our room so they can enjoy it all, I just hope Professor Finnelan doesn't take it away from future visitors.
It's my turn, we're opening the doors, with our suitcases in hand we're walking down the corridors, goodbye room, you've made us live all these years, now it's time to say goodbye to this place where we've stayed for most of our time here in Luna Nova, I'm going to miss this place a lot and now I'm leaving.

"Our room, now we're definitely leaving it aside, who would have thought that our graduation was coming up, today, it still hasn't hit me" I say, glancing at our door.

"Who'd have thought it, but seriously Chariot, you thought you'd be on Luna Nova for a few more years, now our journey has come to an end, don't worry love, the people who come in our place will know the history that the beige team of 2005-2008 once made, I'm sure of it" said my girlfriend.

"It's bizarre that now we're leaving our room for good, I can't get used to the idea, we've lived through a lot in it, goodbye room, we'll miss you" I say waving to the door of our room.

"You're crazy Chariot, it's just a room, we stayed in it to sleep and play video games, nothing much" said Becca.

It's not just a room, it's more than that, it's the story we lived in it, the three years we spent having a lot of fun in this place, it was more than just a place to sleep and play video games, it was the things we lived.
We finally arrived outside, that summer sun beating down on our faces, the day was even sunny, the girls from our class were staying with us, while the girls from the other years were just admiring us, there were very few of them, since many ended up travelling back, since classes ended a week ago, but the whole place had to prepare that week for our graduation, I was soon next to the girls in the waiting chair and they even had our names written on it.
