Now am I good enough?

‘Riley tomorrow is the final recognition’ said Bethany while jumping excitedly.
“Yeah, yeah and also my final year na hanggang sa ngayun di ako  sina-sagot ni Louise” I said frowning.

‘Oh come on tanongin mo nalang siya ulit bukas pagkatapos mung tanggapin ang highest honor with an average of 99.8 percent and pagkatapos mo ring ipakita ang acceptance letter mo from Harvard University’ she said with full of pride for me.

I grin widely and nod my head.
After kung makuha ang awards ko I immediately head to my parents and hugged them and tell them I love them.
‘We’re so proud of you Riley’ my dad said and hugged my once again.

Nauna na silang umalis kasi magpre-prepare pa sila para sa party I then headed to Bethany she gave me all my awards and certificates.

‘Good luck’ she said and kissed me on the cheek.

“Thank you” I said to her.

I spotted Louise talking with her parents I greeted them and excuse Louise from them.

“HI” I said excitedly and nervously.
She smiled.

“I done it I became the highest top student in the record in the juniors” I took a deep breath and continued “I was accepted at the Harvard University, I won the arts competition, the music feast competition, Nakatanggap ako ng award for MVP in volleyball, I was the best spiker, blocker, setter and lastly the best captain in the whole season.” I said to her habang pina-pakita lahat ng awards at certificates. “Now louise am I good enough? And can I finally show my love for you and court you?” I said to her with all determination, courage and hope in my eyes.

‘I'm proud of you, you’ve done more than enough’ she said genuinely smiling.
‘But I think you should focus on your dream and your future first’ she said.

‘And didn’t you get the card I sent you along with the first gift you gave me?’.

I looked at her confused.

She smiled and said ‘It says there that I will not accept any courtship and relationship right now because I wanted to fulfill my dreams first and you should to’ she said then sighed.

‘I didn’t answer you’re constant question because I was assuming na you’re just being stubborn’ she said with an apologetic smile.

I stared at her and then asked her “Then when will you be ready?” I said in a low voice.

She stared at me and said ‘I don’t know’.
I let out a breath and smiled at her with love visible in my eyes “Then I will wait and prepare myself when the time comes that you’re ready to accept my love for you” I said to her with full of passion.
