Chasing Sunset (COMPLETED)

Epilogue

"And now, to give us his speech, let's call this year's class valedictorian Mr Aeon Collins."

High School Life is a journey. We learn as we progress, we stumble and fall but we still rise, we will be hurt but we still manage to smile, we felt betrayed, but still we forgive, we struggle as we move on, but a brighter future awaits to all of us.

Others can see that being smart is boring, but it brings you to lot of opportunities. Life always open up a path for you to choose. Yes, my life is boring, just having three friends around me, but that was before, not until I realized one day, you should value every moment because you'll never know how long it will last.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone here, this institution, the faculties, my teachers, to all your efforts into teaching and guiding us into better individuals. To all the parents here today, my parents, Mom and Dad, for your continuous trust and support, we will not be here today if not because of you. To my best friends, Matt, Chris and Bern, to all my classmates, and friends, for always being there for me, you made this experienced more fun. To all the people who help us to be inspired every day, thank you. For giving joy into my world, I may not count the stars for you but I look up to them every night to remind me how lucky I am to have you, My Queen... Celine.

Everyone, as we leave this stage of life, and turn our page to the next chapter, may we continue to grow and fonder all the lessons we learn. May we always look forward to the future, but never lose sight behind our past. May we cherish every moments of our lives, filled with hopes, love and humility.

Seniors! Soar high! Congratulations!

Aeon meet my family.

Dad, Mom, Chad, this is Aeon, my boyfriend. I wink at him to let him feel that everything's going to be fine. He smiling but I know that he's feeling nervous right now, I am holding his sweaty cold hands to give him assurance.

Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Chad.

It's good to finally meet you Aeon. I heard a lot of good things about you. Mom happily greeted him.

Congratulations Aeon, we are so proud to both of you. Please take care of Celine. Daddy requested.

Hey Celine, we'll be talking about this later.

Sure Chad, anytime! Can't wait to hear what he's going to tell me.

And Aeon, don't think that I'll approve to you immediately. I need to test you first, anyways congratulations.

Hahaha! Enough of that! How about a family picture together?

And my high school life ends there with a 360 degrees turn of events. From boring, to a gazillion times more fun. I never been so happy and complete, not without the people I cared about, my family, my friends, and Aeon, not without the things that happened to me, and not because of the right choices I made, the opportunities that I didn't let to pass, and the feelings I opted to let go.

I am so proud to have Aeon, the person who never failed to believe in me, who continues to love me unconditionally. Our Future? Nah! Bring it on, because I have him, and we will be facing it together.
