Megan Pov
Our graduation was in two days, it was only my Parents coming, as Ava and Ben were settling in N city, and Logan had his final semester exam, so none of them came. I was very upset, Uncle Felix and Aunt Felix were coming to my graduation on the same day as he was busy with his business. Bluish Grey colour dress was our colour code for graduation, this time my dress was sent to me, by my sister with its accessories as an apology for not coming for my graduation from a designer friend of hers.
It was an elegant Knee-length two-piece dress, it was a sleeveless dress with self floral design with a high neck Chiffon jacket, it looked very nice, with grey stilettos, and Diamond stud and a spiral bracelet...
On graduation day, I got ready, wore my dress let my hair loose to flow to my waist, put on light makeup and a bright mate lipstick, and looked at myself in the mirror, I looked good... I came down, my Mom and Dad hugged me, congratulated me with a single strand of Diamond necklace that matched my dress, my Mom helped me in wearing it, We left to our school, as we reached I saw Karen and her Parents, and My Uncle Felix and Aunt Felix, waiting at the gate.
We went in, I went to the dressing room to wear my graduation coat and hat, it was a red satin coat with orange colour ribbon boarded around it, I was seated with all other students, my family sat in VIP seating, as I sat, next to Olivia and Jia, Olivia told that Brother James is come, and showed them sitting in the fourth row, as I saw them he waved at me as he sat with Mr Rose and Aunt Rose, but I was also searching for my special person, but couldn't find him, finally, I saw him in the sixth row, with a group of people, must be his family, Daniel smiled, and waved slightly to me, He wore a grey formal shirt with a grey pant and a black shawl collar blazer with a black bow tie, Olivia and Jia were giving me a nutty look, I bowed down with a shy smile.
My family waved at me, Karen was recording and as well on live video with Logan, Ava and Ben, when she focused the mobile on me I waved, the program started and the Chief guest was called to stage, "We are honoured to call Mr Adam Felix a senior-most government official in the banking system, to enlight and congratulate our graduates". I was amazed at the name...it was my Dad, I was so proud, cheered from down... my Dad walked to the stage with a majestic look that he had always, He today wore a solid black tuxedo, he looked so elegant and handsome, My Dad gave a lot of tips for us, finished his speech with congratulating all of us, as he walked down, he looked at me with a grin. Our school Head Nun started to call out the name of all the graduates, and our Chairman gave out our certificates, as we were cheering for all the graduate, then a lean girl walked on to the stage when the name Mia Reid was called. I turned to look at the family in sixth-row applauding, oh ok this his sister, as I was looking, Daniel nodded, I just turned and focused on the ceremony... Finally, the students who scored above 90% was announced, our Head Nun said, " We feel proud to call our school toppers, who made us proud by scoring above 90%, and above we especially congratulate them with a big round of applaud", all our name were called one after one, "Jia Davis, 91.5%", few other students were called and Olivia's name was called, Brother James stood up and cheered loudly,
"Olivia Rose, 93%" we all applauded and cheered... finally my name was called "Megan Felix, 96%", my whole class up roared and cheered me, as I walked up the stage, I was rewarded with a 2nd topper trophy, a girl named Richa Rik was awarded 1st place trophy as she scored 98%, I happily took it from our Chairman and waved it above to show my family, friends, as I searched for Daniel but he was not in the sixth row, I scanning the auditorium, I found him in the left corner of the auditorium standing, clapping his hands, I couldn't take my eyes from him, but managed to look away, the ceremony was over with the Chairman's thank note.
We took our class group photos and a lot of photos with family and friends, I took photos with Olivia and Jia's family, and I asked Olivia to get Daniel so we can take pics with him, as we both were discussing, Brother James walked with Daniel by his side, as Daniel approached me he smiled and put his hand in front of me and congratulated me, I shook my hand and thanked him, then we took some photos with James Bro and Daniel.
We all student were asked to return our Graduation coats and hats, I, Jia, and Olivia took off our coats and handed over to the person in charge, revealing our dress, Olivia wore a grey ankle-length satin sequence dress, while Jia wore a grey simple knee-length frock, again we stared our photo section, as we finished. I went back to my family, my sister, brother and Ben were on a video call, I spoke to them, I missed my both siblings, though I was angry, I wouldn't ignore them, as we finished our call, a family walked towards us, behind them Daniel was trailing, I was little taken back, a man in his early 50s introduced himself to Dad as Anders Reid, a supervisor in the financial department of government and his wife Abel Reid, his third son, who was training in military Jovel Reid, his youngest daughter Mia Reid, and finally introduced Daniel Reid... my Dad shook his hands with all, while when It was Daniel, he tapped his shoulder and said " I know this young man he works for Brains, he's as a good potential, you should be proud of your son", I was happy for Dad to have such good thoughts about Daniel, I smiled and looked at Mrs Reid accidentally, she had a rigid look on her face, somehow I felt her smile was fake. Our family moved along everyone to the dining area where the refreshments were arranged, and all became busy with talking and entertaining themselves, many people came to talk to Dad, I excused myself to the restroom, as I was walking the narrow corridor, I was stunned by a sudden pull from someone into one of the classrooms, I was so panicked, as I was about to scream, "it's me, Meg", Daniel's low voice came from the back of my ears, I just turned and hugged him with all my strength, I was so scared, he hugged me and said, " Sorry for scaring you, I just wanted to meet you alone, without any intruder", I buried my head in his chest and nodded, then I let him go, as we stood apart, Daniel took a small velvet pouch, and gave me saying, "It's your Graduation gift, Meg, you really did a great job, congratulations....", I took the gift, and opened it to see, a pendant, it was engraved DM on it, I looked it, and put it in my clutch, and took my phone out and asked to take a selfie, it was the first most photo we both took together, we took few more and I headed back to the dinner, Olivia and Jia, came to me and we three sat together, we will not be to together anymore, don't know when we will meet again, as Jia was going to her nunnery schoo, and Olivia was relocationng to H city for her high school, we three will barely meet, we hugged each other and cried our heart out, and promised that we will be in touch, again it's going to completely different set of people in High school , I was so sad... James bro came to me and said, " Hai Little Devil, what is worrying you so much, we will come every two months or three months once to K city, Olivia is moving there because of me, I got my posting in a nearby place to H city, so I am allowed visit my family on weekends, I can see her during my visit", I nodded, it makes sense, Jia too hugged me and after the dinner, we all left saying our bye reluctantly, I reached home changed my dress removed my jewellery and put in my wardrobe safe, and changed into my casual cartoon pyjamas, and took my birthday gift, the chain that my Mom gave me, and put the Pendant that Daniel gave in to the chain, and wore it around my neck, the pendant stopped right on my cleavage, I just clenched my hand at the cold touch of the pendant. I finally closed my eyes to sleep.
