Every ceremony has to come to an end,' that is often said. But the reality of the matter is how the ceremony was. Enjoyable? Lovely? Or was it one enough to bring joyful memories.
There was no doubt Joy, Andrew, Kevin, and Rachael enjoyed their day. Their graduation brought memories of how their life had been especially as teenagers who faced different challenges.
Andrew was shown love as he did not feel the absence of his parents. Since his stepfather had been sentenced to life imprisonment, he was more relieved and hope for the best in his own life. Rachael's and Joy's mums graced the occasion, as they showered them with advice, gifts, and prayers.
Kevin felt his father's absence slightly. He could still remember how his father had promised him two years ago to grant him any of his wishes if he graduates from high school. For now, the promise will be on hold. It still amazed him that his father was sentenced lower compared to what he thought. Not
ANDREW POVI have never for once imagined my life as an easy one as I grew up with a single mother, the only love of my life.I always wanted to take things step by step hoping to give my mum a better life, one in which she would be free from haunting others who committed crimes.Everything began changing when my mum eventually brought a new person who began having a crazy obsession with me. I thought that was it all until I eventually ended my mother's life mistakenly. I do hope mum forgives me.If I hadn't tried to add sleeping pills to her drinking, she would probably not have died that night. At first, I blamed myself, but with time I realized that letting go of the past was the best.And when the WEIRD FEELING hit me hard, I became more saddened at my feelings for the same sex, something I deemed as an abomination.I came to und
There is a true feeling that comes from within when you have friends who are ready to stay by you through thick and thin. They are friends who put one's interest ahead of theirs. A blessing in disguise.Loud chattering could be heard as the four jolly friends hung out two weeks after their graduation. It was a happy sight, as they looked vibrant, with joy on their faces."Guys, I have good news," Andrew confessed"Shoot," Joy said, putting some shrimps in her mouth."I have gained admission into Faculty of Medicine and Surgery," Andrew stated."Congratulations. More wins," Rachael smiled.Aww, Congratulations. I will miss you," Joy gave Andrew a side hug as he smiled.Kevin simply smiled as he already knew about the news."I would still be around during weekends. I don't want to miss the girls' faces for too long," Andrew announced as they all laughed."Let's make a promise. That no matter what, we will always have each
Rachael could not help but increase her walking pace, completely ignoring her best friend's call. Joy was irritated and furious, as she tried to keep up with Rachael, breathing in and out gently as she seemed to have gone through a long walk. Joy stopped abruptly, folding her hands into fists as she began to run, not minding the stares from those in the hallway who happened to watch her in awe, surprised she was breaking one of the school rules. Rachael halted, turning to see her friend running after her, her mind going frenzy. Can't she give up?" she thought. Her mind went back to how she had avoided her three best friends, but she had no doubts how she would be able to keep up with her acts
# FLASHBACKIt was summer, one of the four Earth's seasons, that goes after spring and foreshadows Autumn. Kevin glanced at the trees bearing fruits and feels Summer is the best season ever. The warmth and everything make it perfect. No wonder most families like to go on vacation during summer.He went back to the mirror for the umpteenth time checking himself out again. He was dressed in a checkered shirt themed with a pair of blue jeans and black shoes.His mind kept beating fast, trying not to lose his focus on one of the important things he wanted to do today. He noticed a little pimple on the upper part of his head and
Grace was the replica of a perfect girl. She was affectionate, lovely, adventurous, and has others' best interests at heart.She was more like a legend in high school. A legend because of her good ways and conduct which some of the students are becoming envious of.She was a young girl many parents prayed to have as a child. Amiable, courageous, compassionate, and considerate were words that fitted her perfectly.Born and brought up in a well-known Catholic home, she has been taught to live by God's standards of right and wrong. Most of the time, she encouraged anyone she sees disheveled or about to give up.Many love her because of he
It has been over two weeks, and few things have happened. Grace was beginning to recover from her mental state, as she was operated on again. Her whole family relocated outside the States, to give Grace a new beginning. To them, once Grace completely recovers, they will do everything within their power to make her life the best life possible. **** Rachael stared at her reflection in the mirror and for some seconds, she felt like she might end up making a bad decision. Grace has been like a second role model to her, apart from her mum being the first. She learned a lot from her, as she was one in a million. She could not help but wo
Rachael could have felt comfortable if she was in Joy's car or that of Kevin, but she could not think straight, being in the car of the boy she was and still is attracted to.The SUV car of Zack has this familiar scent that she has become accustomed to, a strawberry smell. The drive was rather a silent one and Rachael was less tensed up as she looked outside the car window, different thoughts running through her mind.'Crushes, infatuations, and attractions are part of those distractions in a teenagers life', her mum will always tell her'And that is why it should be properly controlled', she would always conclude.It was easier said than done as she is attracted to Zack's physical features, and her best friend Joy also seems interested in him. The big bang is Kevin whom she has not developed any kind of feelings for aside from their friendship tag.If Kevin figures out her big secrets, he would probably break up their friendship with
Rachael touched her hair slightly, a habit she does when she does not know how to respond to a particular situation. She never thought Joy would ask."Hello, reasonable ladies," They both turned to face the direction where the voice was coming from as their mouths opened in awe. " Andrew, "Joy almost screamed as she went to hold one of his hands. "We miss you," Rachael added as Andrew smiled"Why do you have to call us reasonable ladies and not beautiful ladies," Joy complained, slapping Andrew's face playfully as they all went to the cafeteria.Rachael could only thank Andrew for coming to her rescue. If she had to mention that Zack brought him to school, then Joy might not be happy about it. Not only that, she might ask personal questions. For so
