(Lily's POV)

I sat on my bed not caring about anything around me at the moment. I thought Evan would've given up on me but what Sofia told me yesterday gave me just a pinch of hope.

Flashback

As I was sobbing in the stall, I heard footsteps come in.

"Lily? Are you in here?" Sofia says and I sigh standing up and opening the door to the stall I was in.

"Hey. . We're gonna be late but while we walk to our classes, let me tell you something." She says and I nod. She helps me wash up the ruined makeup from my face and we walked to our classes.

"Listen to me Lil, Evan. . .he really cares about you. . .give him a second chance." She says and I stayed quiet after what she told me. She sighs and I continued to walk.

"Lil, if he didn't care about you. . .would he be trying his best right now to get you back?" She asks and I stop in the middle of a hallway. I guess she had a point there.

"Sofi. . .I don't know, what he did with Karina broke me. . ." She suddenly lifted up my chin and made me look into her eyes.

"Lily, forget Karina, she confessed what she did was wrong. . .now Evan told me to tell you to meet him at the park after graduation practice. Gotta go. ' With that she runs off to class and I run to mine.

End Of Flashback

I sigh into my pillow and laid there until I heard my door open.

"Hey Lil, dinner is ready." My aunt says and I stand up from my pillow that held in my depressing sigh. As I walked out, the smell of my aunts food filled me up with joy.

"Glad you can join us Lilybug." My uncle says and he pulls out a chair for me. I sit myself next to him and we talk about my graduation.

"Are you excited Lil?" My aunt asks me and I nod, feeling the relief of all the stress from my school days disappear though, one thing was still stuck to me.

"Yeah, I am excited, can't wait but. . .can I go to the park after my graduation practice tomorrow? There's someone I want to talk to that asked me to meet them there." I say and my aunt looks at me with a silly face.

"Who is this person?" She asks and I can feel myself blush from embarrassment. I turn to my uncle and he was staring at me.

"Uhh, well its most likely. . .a childhood crush. . ." I say and my aunt smiles in awe but my uncle on the other hand.

"What's his name?" He asks strictly. I gulp and breathed in slowly.

"His name is Evan. . ." I say and soon my uncle smiled and sat back down.

"That guy that always comes for permission to speak with you but you were never around." My uncle says and I look at him in shock.

"He what?" I can see him chuckling and my aunt was doing the same.

"He is a nice man Lil, never knew he had the audacity to come knock on this very door to talk to you." My uncle says and I sigh then look down at my hands.

"Go on Lil, you seem like you have feelings for Evan, he seems to like you too." My aunt says and I smile. I can't get my hopes up though. My aunt handed me and my uncle a plate of food and we both started eating.

I guess I should give him another chance but I gotta see how it turns out with our meet up tomorrow. We chatted as we ate our food and my uncle told me funny stories about my mom when they were young and how she was always loud. I laughed at the way my mother was in her childhood years.

"I will be on the front, I need some air." I say and they both nod as they set their plates in the sink. I went outside and sat on the steps to my house. I looked up and saw the stars shining brightly in the night sky. I was soon taken out of my thoughts.

"Hey. . .Lily." I look down at the least person I wanted to see.

Karina.

"Karina? What are you doing here?" I ask, standing up. She seems to be thinking hard about her next words, though whatever they were, I was prepared.

"Listen. . .I just wanted to say that. . .I am sorry for how I acted all these years." My mind couldn't believe what it was processing. Did Karina actually say sorry?

"Wha-What?" I say quietly but Karina wasn't done.

" I was just rude because. . .I thought your life outside of school was full of happy moments. . .but Sofia told me everything earlier. . ." She stood there quite as she expressed her feelings to me.

"I-I didn't know. . .Lily, please forgive me. . .My life is shitt so thats why I took it out on you from how you were happy with Evan. . .I wanted to have that special kind of happiness but. . .I got nobody to give it to me." She says as she continues to not look at me straight in the eye.

I soon got wide eyed when she starting crying. I instantly went to her side and hugged her. All these years, I know she was mean and such pain but this kind of pain was serious. I hugged her and she returned the hug.

"Karina. . .I forgive you, it must be hard but. . .you got me now. We can start over and be friends. . .Like before." I said and her crying calmed down.

"I am just really sorry Lily, I can't believe how much of a bitch I was all these years." I chuckle at her choice of words but hey, it's her personality.

"I forgive you Karina, we have a whole new chapter ahead of us after we graduate and. . .maybe the new chapter of my life could include you." I say and she slowly pushes away from me so she can look at me clearly. Soon her sad face was brightened with a smile.

"Thank you so much Lily." She says and with that I gave her a hug that made her feel the happiness she has been wanting.
