Graduation Day
One Direction: A life of being a fanWhile I was sleeping, my mom and Henry woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw them in front of me.
"Congratulations!" they said
I smiled at them. It's my graduation day today and I'm a little bit excited.
"You should be ready in a few minutes, okay?" my mom smiled at me and kissed my forehead
She went outside my room while Henry was seated on the couch across my bed. I sat up.
"So, what will be your decision?" Henry asked
I rubbed my eyes and looked at him "You'll know later"
"Psh! Just tell me now" Henry insisted
"Later" I tucked my tongue out
Henry crossed his arms and went outside the room. I saw my project beside the window. I remembered that I got the highest score
in our final exam. I wasn't really expecting that would happen. As long as I passed, that's enough. I saw the business card of Brian
Friedman sticked into my project. I haven't think about yet of my decision. I stood up and got the business card from the dress I made.
What will I do? To accept his offer or not? I know dancing is my hobby but I like fashion designing. As what Zayn said, I can be a fashion
designer and a dancer as well. That idea was cool but...but..I think I can't do it. It would be hard for me. A fashion designer plus a
dancer. What a heavy schedule that would be. I recalled about my motto. 'Never be afraid of trying something better' I'll just think
about this after my graduation. I went out to eat my breakfast. My graduation will start at 3 pm. I still have time to relax. I watched the
television. When the clock striked 1:30 pm. My mom told me to be ready. I went inside my room and changed clothes. I comb my hair
and I didn't put make up. I'm really not into make up but I know how to put some since my mom taught me how to. My mom entered
my room and told me to put some light make up. She was ready with her dress. I obeyed her and put some light make up on my
face even though I don't want to. After preparing myself for the graduation day, my mom went out ahead from my room. I was
looking myself at the mirror. I can't imagine myself. I am now graduating from college. I passed! I smiled at myself. I was going to
open the door until I forgot something. I opened my drawer and got the box. I opened the box and saw the ring that Louis gave me.
I took a deep breath and kept it inside my bag. I went outside my room and Henry was surprised looking at me.
"You look so pretty little sister" Henry said as she touched gently my hair
"Don't touch it! It might be destroyed" I said as I put away his hands from touching my head
"Let's go" my mom said
We went out from the house and we hopped inside the car. While we were going to our school, I was looking at the ring. I hope no
one will get hurt about my decision. I hope they will accept my decision. I hope I don't have regrets about my decision. When we
arrived at my school. I put the ring inside the box and I put the box inside my bag. We went out from the car. Henry was bringing my
graduation malta and toga. When we arrived at our school's gym. Charlotte and Megan went towards me. They were already wearing
their graduation malta and toga. Henry gave me my graduation malta and toga and I wore them.
"Let's go now!" Megan grabbed my hands
In the middle of our gym, chairs were displayed. We look for chairs and sat down. I was looking at the crowd. I was looking for Louis.
He told me that he's going to come here but I didn't saw him. I sighed and looked at the stage. I was looking for my bag and I
remembered that my bag was with my mom. The box was inside my bag and I can't go to them because our graduation will now start.
Our teacher started to call some of my classmate's names. I looked at my hand and looked back at the crowd. I saw Louis and Zayn
in the corner. They were wearing Ray Ban and hoodie. I think they wore that because they don't want people to get their attention.
I looked back at the stage and sighed.
"Are you okay?" Charlotte looked at me
"Yeah, why?" I looked at her
"You kept looking at the crowd"
"It was just nothing" I smiled at her
"Jessy Lauren" my teahcer called me
I stood up and went towards the stage. I went on stage and received the diploma from my dean. I stood in the middle of the stage and
took a bow. I looked at Louis and Zayn. They were clapping at me. I smiled and went down. After my teacher called all the students,
the magna laude in our batch left us with inspirational speech.
"You’re going to fall down, but the world doesn’t care how many times you fall down, as long as it’s one fewer than the
number of times you get back up. Develop your own compass, and trust it. Take risks, dare to fail, remember the first
person through the wall always gets hurt."
We were inspired of her speech. After her speech, we stood up and threw in the air our toga and the crowd clapped their hands. After
our speech, we had some pictures. Henry took pictures of us. Nichkhun also came to our graduation. Too bad for him he still have
one more year to graduate. We took pictures with him and to our teacher. I went towards my mom and got my bag. I got my phone
and Louis called me. I answered his call.
"Louis"
"Jessy. I'm at your classroom right now"
"Okay, I'll be there"
Then I hang up
"Mom, I need to go to the classroom"
"Be back, okay?"
I nodded and ran going to my classroom. I was still wearing my graduation malta. I arrived in my classroom and I saw Louis
seating on my seat. I smiled at him and went towards him.
"Is it a no?" he asked as he was looking at my finger
I got the box from my pocket and got the ring. I put my ring on my finger. He was surprised when I put the ring on my finger. He
stood up and hugged me tightly.
"Louis, I can't breathe" I said
He let go of me "Sorry. You don't know how happy I am today"
I smiled at him
"Jessy, I love you and I will never hurt you"
"Louis, I love you too"
He kissed me on my forehead and hugged me. I hugged him back. I let go of him.
"You look so pretty today" he looked at me
"Only today?" I pouted
"Everyday" he smiled
I smiled back at him
We decided to went out from the classroom. While we were walking going to the gym, we met Zayn on the hallway.
"Zayn, where are you going?" Louis asked him
Zayn looked at us and he looked at our hands completely locked together
"I was going to... go... to the classroom. Are you now together?" Zayn asked
"Yes" Louis proudly said to him
"Cong...congrats" he smiled
I'm happy that he's happy about us. I smiled at him and we went back going to the gym. Before we arrived at the gym, Louis told me
that he will be going ahead since they have something work to do.
"Can we eat dinner together?" he asked
"Sure" I smiled at him
"I'll be going now" he kissed my forehead
"Bye. Take care always. I love you" Louis said
Louis and Zayn hopped in the car and went away. I went back to the school's gym, smiling.
"Are you okay?" Charlotte asked
"Yes" I smiled at her
Henry looked at my finger "She's wearing it" he mummbled
I looked at Henry and hid my hands. I smiled at them
"Yeah, she's okay" Megan smiled
"Let's have a picture together, Jessy" Nichkhun said as he was bringing his phone
"Okay" I smiled at him
After the graduation, we went back to our house. I changed clothes. My mom went inside my room and sat beside me. She gave
me a paper bag.
"What's this?" I asked her
"Open it" she smiled at me
I opened the paper bag and saw a dress. It's my favorite dress! I looked at my mom and gave her a warm hug. I let go of her
"That would be my graduation gift for you"
"Thanks mom" I smiled at her
There was a silence. I want to tell my mom about Louis and I. I'm afraid that she'll get mad at me. But I know she will really get
mad at me if I'll keep it to her. I broke the silence.
"Mom..."
"Hmm?"
I looked at her "Mom, I don't want you to get mad at me"
"Why would I get mad at you?" she asked curiously
"I did something" I looked down
"What is it?"
I looked at her "Louis and I are now together...but mom, you told me that it's okay for me to have a boyfriend after I'll graduate college"
"When did you become together?"
"A while ago. After my graduation"
"Then, there's nothing to worry about" she smiled at me
"Really mom?" my eyes went huge
She nodded
"Are you not mad? Are you okay with Louis?"
"I'm not mad. Of course! I'm okay with Louis. In fact, he's a sweet, cute and good guy"
"Thank you mom" I smiled at her
"You know, I can't force you who to fall in love with. It's your decision. You're already grown up. You already know what's right and
what's wrong. Always remember, I'm always here by your side"
I gave my mom a warm hug. She's the best mom ever! I told her that Louis and I will be having a dinner later. Louis texted me that
he's on the way going to our house. I changed clothes. I wore the dress that my mom gave me a while ago. I saw Louis' car
outside the house. I went outside my room and told my mom that I'll be going. She looked happy when she saw me wearing her
present for me. I went outside the house and saw Louis leaning on his car.
"My girlfriend looks good tonight" Louis smiled at me
"Thank you" I smiled at him
"Let's go"
I nodded and hopped in his car. We went to a restaurant. The boys were waiting for us. We went inside the restaurant and we sat
on the chairs.
"Congratulations, Jessy!" Harry, Niall, Zayn and Liam said
"Thanks guys" I smiled at them
When we arrived, the foods were already served. We ate our dinner happily and we had some talks.
"I'm happy for the two of you" Liam smiled at us
"Thanks" I smiled at him
"Be ready for the fangirls" Harry smirked
"Yeah... be ready for them" Niall said
"I won't let them hurt her" Louis said as he looked at me
"That's sweet to hear, Louis" Harry said
"Larry Stylinson" I mummbled
"Oh... that!" Liam said and they all laughed
"Jessy, don't be jealous if Louis and I are really close" Harry said
"No, it's okay. I won't be jealous. I'm not the kind of girl who get jealous easily" I said
"That's good" Liam nodded
I decided to go to the girl's comfort room. When I went out from the girl's comfort room, I saw Zayn leaning on the wall. I walked
towards him.
"What are you doing?" I asked him
"Nothing" he smiled
"Are you okay?" I looked at him directly to his eyes
"Yes"
No, you're not okay Zayn. I can see it in your eyes. Something's bothering you.
"You'll go to Australia tomorrow, right?"
He nodded
"Good luck and have a safe trip"
"Thanks"
"Are you not going to go back there?"
"Later" he said
I nodded and went back to the table. I sat down and sighed
"Where's Zayn?" Niall asked while he was looking around
"I saw him beside the boy's comfort room" I said
"What is he doing there?" Harry asked
"I don't know" I shrugged my shoulders
"I'll go to Zayn" Niall said
After we had a dinner, Louis sent me home. Before I went inside the house, he kissed my forehead like he always do.
"How about Brian's offer? Have you already thought about it?" he asked
I sighed "That... I need to think about that"
He nodded "Whatever is your decision, I'll support you" he smiled at me
"Thanks. I'll go inside now. Bye and Take care for your flight tomorrow. Sleep early so you won't feel sleepy tomorrow okay?"
He grabbed my hands "Okaay... Take care too. I will really miss you"
"I will really miss you too"
I went inside the house and went to my room. I changed clothes and prepared myself to sleep. I received a text from Niall.
From: Niall
Hey Jessy! We will really miss you. See you after one week :)
Awww... Niall is too sweet. If whoever will be the girlfriend of Niall, she's way too lucky to have him.
