Days turned night and nights turned day and just that I didn't realise that it was now our graduation day. Me and Gabrielle never dared to talk or even look at each other. Now I'm not really sure how should I act around my family. It was awkward and hard for me and I know she feels the same way.
"Ren, you ready?" I heard my Father call for me downstairs
"Yeahh, I'm coming down." I yelled as I looked at the mirror one last time before I got out of my room.
I walked downstairs and saw my father and Nadia waiting for me at the the bottom of the stairs. I smiled at them as they gave me back one. "Oh look at you," My father said to me"My little girl is so beautiful."
"I'm not a little girl anymore Dad." I reminded.
"I guess you're right." He said holding both of my shoulders to looked at me, then he sighed content "We should get going." My father said as he walked towards the front door and opened it.
"Wait, where's Gabrielle." I asked.
"I forgot, she told me she might come late." Nadia said.
"Oh.." was all I could say.
I glanced once again where my family sat but there still no sign of her. 'Come late my ass' I thought. I smiled though when my father saw me. He smiled back at me mouthing a 'I'm so proud of you'.
No dad, if you just knew it all, you wouldn't be so proud of your little girl.
I sighed. She's not coming even this is one of the most important events of my life. She doesn't care. Why would she? She said she hates me. Of course she has the right to hate me. I know, but still, she should've come. I want her to come.
"Ren Anne Constantine." I heard Mr. Ransford, our head master, call for me.
I readied my fake smile and started walking on the stage. After I shook hands with the principal and with some other school boards, or whoever they are, I came down the stage and took my seat.
Finally after throwing our cap in the air, the student's joy of tears flooded as they hugged each other, the ceremony is finish and now I'm headed to my parents.
"There she is." said Nadia when they saw me approach.
I gave my father a big hug as he gave me one too. "We're so proud of you." He said as he kissed my forehead.
"Thanks dad." I said smiling at him genuinely and then I remembered "Where's Gabrielle?" I said casually not wanting to sound so hurt.
"She texted me, she said she's really sorry that she can't come." Nadia said when my dad released me.
I smiled at her reassuringly "It's okay." and I just lied to myself.
"Ren!" someone yelled behind me.
I turned around and smiled when I saw Ken and Ricci walking towards me, my two bestfriend.
Ken he's gay. Can I say he is just awesome? And then theres Ricci, the girly girl that always bully Ken when we're only in grade school. Now, we three are bestfriends. But its sad even though we're bestfriends. Not being completely honest with them. I never told them that I'm in love with Gabrielle. I'm scared that if they found out about it, they'll think of me as a sick, crazy person.
"Oh my God, I said I'm not going to cry." I heard Ricci said, fanning her face with her hands trying to stop the tears.
When they came up to me I was immediately attacked by their hugs and joyful tears. I can't deny it, I'm really truly going to miss my two besties and our memories in this school. Every skipping our periods, the bullies, of course we are the bullies, the laughs, the tears, I will never forget all of them. It was the best years of my life.
