When the ice melt (profxstudent)freenbecky

Big day

I quickly looked away and my eyes blinked because of the impending tears that wanted to escape from it.

Gosh, Becky! Stop it, it's your day. Please don't ruin it. They're just pretending, alright?

It's okay. It's fine, Becky. Your girlfriend will still come home to you. She's only yours! Fuck! I said in my head .

No matter how much I force myself to let it all out, I feel my heart being squeezed delicately. It's just painful to see someone else kissing the person you love. And that's not me.

I shook my head and forced myself to focus on the front. This is not the right time to overthink. I can't ruin this day.

Soon the Doctors, Deans and Professors who will march in the middle to the stage are introduced and my heart beats faster.

I could see them walking in the middle of the corner of my eyes and I didn't dare look at them. I can't. I just can't.

But my heart betrayed me.

As they passed one by one, I felt eyes staring at my back and I didn't need to ask who it was.

I was stunned when our eyes met when I turned back. Freen was smiling widely and sweetly at me and I could see the sparkles of happiness in her eyes as if she was saying that she was very proud of me.

But then her sweet smile instantly faded when she saw my face. The previously happy face and twinkling eyes were replaced by frowning and questioning eyes.

I quickly took my eyes back and stared at the top of the stage. Sighing, I closed my eyes and opened my eyes again when the MC gave the signal for us all to stand up.

A few minutes later, the names of those who will graduate this year are being called one by one. And because of the nervousness and excitement of getting the diploma, I  temporarily forgot what I saw earlier.

"Armstrong, Becky Armstrong , Bachelor of law Education major in Pre-School Education."

I stood up with a big smile and started walking to the stage. This is it!

When I stepped on the stage, I immediately approached Mr. President with a wide smile accepted the diploma then shook his hand.

I was also greeted by my dean and other professors including Miss Faye and lastly, freen who stared at me intently as if she was studying me.

When I held her hand, she gently squeezed it and then softly whispered to me. "I'll text you later, Patricia. Congratulations." and then she smiled gently.

I smiled back at her and started walking back to our seat.

"Let's take a picture with Miss freen later, Becky huh?" Irin greeted me when I got back.

I faked a grin. "I'm sorry."

"Oh why? Don't you have a crush on her anymore? It's just a picture, it's the last day we'll see our professors. Let's go, huh? Later?" She keep persisting.

I just nodded for her to be quiet and looked in front again. I don't know if I'm ready to tell the truth to Irin , especially now that things are a bit complicated, especially with freen.

I heaved a sigh and continued to listen to the program. Soon, everything will be fine.

Arkiela cried out in tears as the six of us hugged each other. We just finished taking pictures with our close professors, Dean and our other friends at the University. And now, we are all together.
