It's been a week after my debut party and it is now our Graduation day! We gathered around the gymnasium where all the students are assembled with their parents waiting for the ceremony to start. Lively chatters are everywhere and all you can see is the happiness for the additional achievements everyone managed to acquire. As for me, I'm sitting beside Piwie who's been going crazy about her parents little 'antic' about bringing a humongous banner with her name printed on it as a sign of their support. Well, tough luck for being Batch Valedictorian, no one will ever dare stop the Greene's when they put their minds to it. No doubt "weird" is their family's middle name.
"Can you believe this, Kia? My whole high school history is about to end and I will be forever remembered as the 'Girl with her Face in a Banner on Graduation' rather than the 'Batch Valedictorian' that I'm supposed to be!" She stomped her feet on the ground in so much frustration and kicking a pebble in the process. I just rolled my eyes at her, and tapped her shoulders.
"Piwie, you will still earn the 'Batch Valedictorian' title... It's just that respect would not be the same with your face in a banner, that my friend is a different story..." I suppressed a giggle to come out and faked a troubled look. I am getting really into making Piwie more frustrated. It's fun to see her face change emotions in a blink of an eye.
"See! See! I'm really close to disowning my parents now!" She glared at where her parents are, the damned banner still at hand.
"You see Piwie, parents are the one who's suppose to disown their children and not the other way around. Thought I'd tell you." I looked at her parents too, feeling a bit of pity at how Piwie has been talking behind their backs. As if they felt someone watching them, they both looked our way at the same time, waved their hands with a toothy grin. I smiled forcefully to them and waved back while Piwie just glared at them for a few seconds and turned back to me, again, ranting about how stupid her face was on the banner. I stifled to laugh out loud.
"Looks like you're having fun again without me, ladies." I turned to look at Nathan as he approached us. Immediately flustered as he wrapped his hand on my waist and kissed my forehead while Piwie groaned and rolled her eyes at his public display of affection.
"Well hello to you too, Nathaniel." Piwie greeted him with a scorned look. Nathan looked at me, curious as to what brought our friend's hostility. I just shrugged and nudged him to look at Piwie's direction. He carefully examined them and the moment he faced us, I can tell that he's been enlightened of the situation at hand.
"Oh... By the way Piw..." Nathan caught Piwie's attention. "Congratulations on bagging the Valedictorian spot! I must say... You're parents are very much delighted. That banner is indeed the cherry on top of the wonderful year!" I couldn't help myself but laugh along with Nathan while Piwie attempted to glare at us but failed and we all shared a good laugh until the emcee called our attention that the program is about to start.
The ceremony started with us graduates marching with our parents beside us until we reached our designated row of seats. Everyone has a satisfied smile flashing at everything most especially to cameras around us. I myself felt blissful. At last I've come to accomplish yet another stage of education. Though I know that this is just the beginning of the yet again anticipated hardships when I step up to college, I don't think I can give up just yet. If there is anything that I'm feeling when College come across my mind, that would be excitement and questions like how am I going to manage, how am I suppose to adjust, how am I gonna find time for Nathan... I felt my face burned up when Nathan's face came to my mind. It's only been a week since he'd proposed to me in front of every soul we've known our whole life and it's a mixture of embarrassment and euphoria.
