Sound of Applause

 Life was taking a new turn and I hope it was a positive one. I've had enough roller coaster rides in my life. I don't crave for them anymore. 

TIME SKIP TO GRADUATION DAY

I was nervous as hell. I was going to be felicitated and not only that I was supposed to give a speech. Me, Brian and Paige, we all got the admission in the university which we aimed for and it was same.

Finally, the hustle came to an end, students were seated on the chairs, the parents and families were sitting behind the students. I was sitting in between of Brian and Paige. I was fiddling with my fingers in nervousness and I felt a hand on mine to stop it. It was Brian and he squeezed my hand slightly to assure me that it was fine.

My name was finally called, I got up and went up the stage. I got my certificate and I was given the mic. I stood beside the Podium and took a deep breath.

"Well, hi". I chuckled to myself as my nervousness went away. I put on a smile and continued,

"That was terrible introduction I suppose" everyone laughed

"These two years, my high school years to be exact. I learnt a lot of things. Good ones and bad ones. I learnt that nothing is permanent, not people not the things we love and of course not the things we hate also. Last year, I lost myself by losing some people but I am back because I realized that Life can't end like that. Well, mine can't. I still had people to love in this world" saying that I looked at Diego then Brian and Paige

"And there are people in this world who love me" with that I smiled at them.

"That was quite a melodramatic speech, I guess. Sorry for making it boring you all. Congratulations to you all. I hope when we all meet at our reunion sometime, we all have some amazing experiences to share from our amazing lives. And thankyou to all the teachers for being so patient with us. Salute to you" Everyone laughed and the sound of applause filled the hall.

I went back to my seat and asked how was it. They said I killed it. I hoped so too.

 I gave them a smile. She said," I mean, I know but I thought you had feelings for him because you met him way before than I did, I think you two should have a good talk. I am going to call mom and I will tell her that I am staying with you today and you can't object". And before I could say anything she left the living room. And it was us two. It was awkward. I decided to break the silence and spoke first," So, how did that happen. I am rather excited to hear about it". He was staring at the floor," Honestly, I don't know how it started but as we spent some time together. We realized that we had a lot in common , so it just happened like that. Honestly speaking, I also thought that....that you'. And he could not complete his sentence. So I completed it on his behalf," So you thought that I had feelings for you. He gave me a slight nod. I smiled at him and said truthfully," You don't need to feel guilty about anything. I have always th...

Still trying to digest it

 I went back to my seat an asked them how was it and they said I killed it. I hope so too. After the graduation ceremony, we clicked pictures. I was happy to see all of them happy. The feeling was surreal. After that we went home and all of us went out for dinner. Me, Diego, Petra, Paige, Brian and Petra's parents. Brian's parents could not make it to the dinner because her mother was extremely tired from the event and her father didn't want to leave her alone. After spending the one of the best days of my life, we were walking back. I went to Diego and told him slowly, "Can I visit mom and Dad tomorrow?" "Of course you can, but I will..." I cut him off "No. This time I want to be alone and trust me I will be fine" I looked at him with puppy eyes and he had to give up. After that he went to drop Petra and me and Brian were on our way home. "Can you believe we are going to be uni students in a next couple of weeks" I asked him still no...

Lucia was watching me nervously because she knew I hated Finn . But what else could we do other than the completing the project together . We had to complete the project after completing our school classes . So we decided to go to library after classes , and we started working on the project and that didn't go too bad.  I went home , sat in front of the mirror . I used to do this quite a lot whenever I felt depressed but today it was quite a different feeling . My days were going very well with good classmates and teachers , my grades were also fine . But , something was missing , somewhere inside my heart I felt that I was lacking something but what that was supposed to be find out . That feeling got worse in quite sometime , istarted to feel suffocated , I felt that there was something heavy on my chest stopping me from breathing . And then I started sobbing and didn't know the reason but I just wanted to cry , so I just let my tears flow. I holded my mouth with my hand so ha...
