Elise's POV

March 25, 2014

Graduation Day

"Oy Elise! Bumaba ka rito! May sulat galing sa Cliffstone!" Usually, hindi ako makikinig sa Kuya ko kapag nagsasalita siya, kasi puro kalokohan lang rin naman lumalabas sa bibig niya. But because I'm reaaaaally desperate to move my butt out of this make-up session, i'm ginna take the risk.

"Geh Pababa na!" sigaw ko. "Elise Anne Manuel Bernardo! Bumalik ka rito! Hindi pa ako tapos sa buhok mo!" my bestfriend, Allie screamed. Huh. Like I'm ever coming back to being caked with hairspray. You can never tame my hair. Ever.

"O! " Binigay ni kuya yung sobre. oh ma gaaaah!! Its really a letter from Cliffstone!!

Cliffstone University for Elites. Also known as CUE. The alumnis who graduated from the said university are the best in their proffession. Though, its only for rich kids with wealthy parents. That's why its only for elites. Well, rich kids must only mingle with their kind.

But. This year, they're giving scholarships to students who deserve them. I love the new governing body of this university already!

"Bes! Anong nakalagay?!" she asked me excitedly. I stared at her. "O? ba't nakabusangot mukha mo? Hindi ka ba nakuha?" Slowly, a grin began to appear. "Bes! Kyaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!! Nakuha ako! Nakuha ako! "

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!" sabay naming sigaw with matching talon talon at ikot ikot pa. "Ang ingay niyo punyeta! Ano bang meron at excited kayo?" si kuya. "Natanggap kapatid mo sa Cliffstone Babe!"

"Wait. BABE?! May hindi ba ako alam dito?!" I knew that kuya was courting Allie for 5 months, but I actually thought it would take longer than that to tie my best friend down.

"Yep. Kami na nga ni Jericho bes!" sagot niya na para bang binabasa ang isip ko. "Kailan lang?" tanong ko. "Uhm, about 3 weeks ago." sagot ni kuya. 3 weeks! that Long? "What?! bakit ako ang huling nakaalam?"

"Gusto kasi naming i-surprise ka sa mismong graduation mo. Hehe." well, I'm definitely surprised na they were able to keep it a secret for long . Sa laki ng bunganga ni Allie, himalang hindi niya nasabi sakin within three weeks.

"And since alam mo na, Pwede na kaming mag PDA sa harap mo!" and they kissed. sa lips. Huhuhu kadiri!

"Ohmygod! Please lang! Don't eat each other's faces in front of me!" sabay takip ng mata ko. "Shut up Elise! alam ko namang gusto mo rin tong gawin kasama ni Asdfghjkl" mabuti na lang at natakpan ko yung bibig niya kundi baka nalaman na ni kuya ang tungkol kay Apollo.

Apollo, Apollo, Apollo. Pinakagwapo, mabait, sweet, caring, gentle, matalino, hot, ah basta! the list goes on. Crush ko ever since third grade. He lives next door, and he's my bestfriend. Maybe if we met under a different circumstances, magiging kami. Hihi. Taas talaga ng pangarap ko noh?

So eto na kami, papunta sa venue ng Graduation namin. Malaking bagay to para samin kaya nag-rent pa talaga ng limo si kuya. He even bought me some designer dress to wear for the after party.

Oh and, did I mention that I'll be graduating as salutatorian? All the hard work paid off. Ang Valedictorian naman, si Apollo mylabs. Diba? I told you he was very smart.
