ERRORS AHEAD

Jennie's Point of View~

I stared at my reflection looking at the glass wall. Wearing a black pencil skirt, white polo rolled up to the sleeves with a little black tie. I heard my block heels tapped as I walk at the school corridors with my graduation gown folded in my hand. Heading to the school gymnasium where finally I can throw my cap in the air and say I've made it through high school.

I'm happy for sure but something inside me felt uneasy, and I already know it's because of him. 

Shems. I shouldn't be like this just because of some boy. 

Making me cringe.

Those times I kept saying he's cold, like 100% cold. Well actually he's just some arrogant jerk.

I guess I wasn't at the right state of mind back then. 

"Claire? Are you alright honey?". I heard my father asking me from behind.

I stopped walking and turned my back to meet his gaze.

"Why wouldn't I be?". I saw how his worried face glimmered up.

As we stepped inside the gymnasium I heard the loud beat of our graduation song. It wasn't that emotional since I wasn't here from the beginning, but I got to say my memories here was surely unforgettable. They.. He made it unforgettable. 

I kissed the cheeks of my parents and hugged my brother before proceeding to the front of the stage. As I was walking I noticed he was already there. 

"Sehun". I uttered under my breath.

He needs to be up on stage since he's Batch Valedictorian and I'm the First honorable mention. I saw the Salutatorian already there sitting beside him, she wasn't from our class. I guess she excelled better than Baekhyun and Chan.

I sat down beside Baekhyun in front.

The program had start and that made me forget about my uneasiness towards him thinking he can take a glimpse of me any second.

"As the Top 1 and Batch Valedictorian of this school year, may I call on Mr. Sehun Scott for his words". Our School Dean said, Baekhyun's mother. 

Everyone applaud as he stood up and took the mic.

"To be honest,  I don't know what to say".

His face was still firm.

Shocked, seeing him suddenly smiling.

I heard the crowd. Not everyone saw him smile like that. I know for sure.

"I'm just overwhelmed talking here in front". Hearing him chuckle make want to melt and his eyes are already smiling. "Since I'll be taking college at Australia, I just want to Thank you to everyone who's part of the journey. To the Dean, Aunt Leila. I've got nothing else to say, so I guess that's it."

He smiled to the faculty behind him. I smiled back to us, his gaze met mine but before I could blink he already turned his back at me.

Wait...

Australia?

He's leaving. When?

I need to resolve the conflict I started.

But how?
