Congratulations, graduates!

So this is what a high school graduate feels like! In two months time, I will be a college student. That means our schedule will have lots of free time and our free time will be the preparation for our comeback, which will be our first full lenght album. We haven't talked about the details yet, but our manager said that they're working on it and we'll be practicing for the whole year.

But going back on today's celebration, we are now high school graduates! My parents are not here, but they called me that they are sorry that they couldn't be on one of my very important dates of my life. I understand them that's why my manager was the one who was with me when I received my medal for being the athlete of the year and being the class' top 6. (While SuHo's the validectorian, such an intelligent guy.)

My mom called me just now, she congratulated me and thanked my manager for being here with me. My parents said that they will make it up to me soon and said i'll be waiting.

I texted Nam Ji that we'll have a date later, I said I am sorry that I can't come near her right now because my manager told me that the group will have it's lunch now. She did not reply so I'm assuming that it's a yes, maybe she's just busy with her parents.

"Athlete of the year, huh?" Jessica appeared right in front of me and punched me in my shoulder.

"Hahaha, yeah, never thought that they would give it to me." I told her.

"Humble?" She asked in a sarcastic way.

"Noooo-"

"Just kidding, so congrats to us? High School graduates?!" She said with an excitement in her voice and face.

"Yeah!" I screamed in joy and we did some high five and jumping. But it all stopped when Kris came by and told me that we'll be going. I snapped Jessica in her face because she's drooling because Kris just said 'hi' to her.

I told her that i'll see her again soon, she said that yes she'll be seeing me soon too, because we'll be going on the same university.

I went out the auditorium and I saw some of my members here outside. But we're not yet complete. Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Tao, and Kai are not yet around. They told me that our manager's looking for them already.

Suddenly there's a vibration on my pocket. It's my phone, I opened it and there's a message, perhaps from Nam J-

Fr: Unknown

Okay? She's still texting me, but it's been months now since she last texted me. Her last text was the one i'm pissed with, I can't tell you yet.

What would she say to me right now?

'Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
If you want to see her,
That's your clue.'

What kind of braniac is this?

But if she knows where the girl is, then she must be close to her? Wait, who's the close friend of the girl? It's Jessica! Could the texter be Jessica?

I started walking towards the auditorium again, but someone grabbed my arms.

"Where are you going?" SuHo said.

"Just give me 5 minutes men. I have to go to the bathroom." I told him, which is not true, it's just an excuse so he'll let me go.

"Okay. 5 minutes." SuHo said and I ran towards the auditorium to find Jessica.

There she is! Still with her parents.

"Can I talk to you for a sec?" I ask her.

"Yeah, what is it?" She said and she faced me, leaving her parents talk with their friends, maybe.
