I am secretly a Princess (Royal Series #1)

Capitolo Trentotto

It's been a week

It's been a week since fratello left the country

It's also been a week since it happened

Am I okay?

No, I'm not 

But I'm trying to, for the sake of the people around me

No, I did not cry anymore but my heart feels like it's been stabbed multiple times. Why do I feel like this? What happened? Did I do something wrong? Mali ba ang decision na ginawa namin?

Why did things fall apart when I'm ready to say I love you?

"Ms. Young, are you finished?" the teacher in charge asked

I arranged my papers, stood up and hand it to her, "Yes ma'am. Thank you so much"

She gave me a smile, "No problem. We will ship your diploma at the end of week. It's too bad that the two of our best students will not be participating in the graduation ceremony. We will miss you"

I felt a lump in my throat when she said the 'two of our best students' but I just gave her a smile, "I'm really sorry" that's all that I can say

She laughed,"Oh no no, don't be sorry. We're glad that you've been a pride and part of this University Ms. Young. I wish you the best of luck"

"Thank you so much" I actually needed that

I gave her a last smile before I bid goodbye and left the office. I went straight to the parking lot and drive myself home. My fratello and I decided that I should come home for the sake of everyone and myself. I agreed to the idea because we only just have a month left before we graduated. I  already told my close friends and the council about it before I proceeded to take the finals and boy, they cried hard and I got teary as well. I will miss them so much

I parked the car outside of the house and went inside, only to see some luggage at the end of the stairs. Mike,Mary and Lucia are already packed and I also see some white cloths draped over the furniture. They're probably not at home at the moment so I just went upstairs to take a quick shower and change of clothes before I went out again and drove to the nearest mall

After fifteen minutes of driving, I parked my car and went straightly to the salon

"Good afternoon madam!Trim? Color? Rebond?" one worker said as soon as I went in

"Please color my hair auburn red" I said

Yes, I'm bringing back my old hair colour

"Alright madam! Please sit here, relax and we'll do the rest" he said and lead me to an empty seat and I did as what he told

I spent the next couple of hours reading or listening to music. It took a while before they finished what they're doing with my hair. I glanced in the mirror and I felt satisfied. It looks exactly the same as before

"What do you think madam?" he asked

"I really love it!Thank you" and I gave him my card to pay up. He came back afterwards and I bid goodbye then left the salon. I also bought a few clothes and additional luggage before I went home. Still, the three of  them are not yet home. They have so many things to manage before our flight tomorrow and yes, we are leaving as soon as possible

As soon as I got into my room, I started cleaning up. I placed all the valuable things inside a luggage and placed some white fabric over the things I can't bring. I also started packing but I only took a few and the new ones I bought. The rest will be donated to charity.
