And Then I Met You (girlxgirl)

Chapter 17 - I...

[Jessica's POV]

~~~~~~~~

I suddenly pulled up from my bed with no hesitation. I opened my eyes telling myself the same question over and over again... 

"It was real, right?"

She confessed to me, right? I could have sworn she confessed to me. I'm at the stage between Hooray, Confused, and Rejection. I'm confused... but I didn't argue also. Does that mean I loved what has happened? No, no, no, there's might be some mistake. I feel like I... UGH!!!

How come I'm blushing? I don't get all of this at all. Her confession was way more different that Luke's. I don't know if it's better or worse. Oh my gosh, I DON'T KNOW! All these thoughts still ramble around my head over and over again. It doesn't stop. Good thing I have food as my distraction. I ate my breakfast and took a shower.

After I got in my comfy clothes, I sat down on the bed and opened my laptop. Then again, I rubbed my temples still thinking about that freaking confession. Was she serious about all of it though? I mean, it looked like she really did love me because she saves me all the time and I was the only one who she cared about... but no, that would be way too obvious. I got on Facebook and posted "Happy Graduation, Seniors!!!". Yeah, today's the day we graduate.

The graduation will start at somewhere in 5:30. Wow, it's my graduation and I don't know the schedule, nice one Jessica. I'm so excited to see Cassie and Abi in their toga. I also want to see Luke with his gelled hair, that would be cool. And heck, of course, I really want to see Laura do her Valedictorian speech.

[Laura's POV]

Why did time go so fast!???? As I looked at my clock, it's already 4pm. I already wore my civilian clothes. I'll wear my toga later. When I was about to leave, I gave a last glance on my Finals Result. I got the highest rank, I guess? Whatever. I didn't want to brag about it anyway. I smiled at it, then turned into a frown. That means I'm the Valedictorian, right? Uh-oh...

I sweat and sweat as I walk to school. I cursed words under my breath. I HAVE NO SPEECH AT ALL. I haven't got time to prepare. All I thought about this week was to prepare how to confess my feelings to Jessica. No regrets at all. Well, I guess I'm just going to wing it then. I looked at Southeast High. This school has pretty much been old for me. I grinned and stepped in.

Within a matter of seconds, I came across to Cassie. 

"LAURA!!!" she giggled. My eyes went wide as she looked great today, maybe it's the make-up, or whatever. 

"Hey Laura" Abi greeted. Yeah,she looked great, too. 

"Why aren't you wearing your toga yet?" Cassie asked. 

"It hurts to know that we're finally going to separate from each other" I half-lied. They gave me an 'awww' and hugged me. Abi helped me out to find the backstage of the gymnasium, cause hell I need to practice my speech.

"Ahhh Miss Cook!" Mrs. Johnson appeared. I just smiled at her. "It's finally that once in your life event." she smiled proudly. 

"Yeah" I replied. 

"I'm so proud of you, darling" she hugged me. I hugged her back. Yeah, I remember now. She's like my substitute mother or whatever. The reason why she placed me at the corner was because maybe one day, I might get to know someone that may color my gray world. She was right all along.

I went to the line of graduates. It's almost start of the event. I saw students that're hugging each other. Some are sad. I also saw some parents who are crying, happily. Seeing their children go on to the new stage. I smiled at all of it. Maybe, that's what I needed. After the graduation, I'll try and go to them.
