A WEEK LATER:
"And the best graduating student this year goes to Amanda Maxwell." The announcer said as the crowd cheered loudly for her as she walked up the stage to collect her award.
"Do you have anything to say Miss Maxwell?" He asked as Amanda slowly nodded and she grabbed the microphone from him.
"This had been my best year ever? What would have happened if I had stayed back in my hometown and refused education and had gotten married...what would have happened? I wouldn't have been here today to receive this award. I want to thank all my friends for been there and supporting me through ever step,I know it wasn't that easy and I couldn't have done it without them, thank you all and you're the best friends ever." Amanda smiled as the crowd cheered.

"Amanda, you did so well." Ella praised as she gave her a hug.
"Thanks." Amanda blushed.
"Where are the others?" Amanda asked searching the almost empty hall.
"They are in the garden... there's a surprise for you." Ella whispered smiling.
"Really?"
"Let's go!"
Amanda and Ella arrived the garden but found no one there but not to skip, the garden was beautifully decorated with rose petals and at the centre stood a big piano and CHARLES!
Charles was playing the piano.
"Charles!" Amanda called out to him as he stopped playing and looked up to see her.
"Amanda, you're here?" He said smiling sweetly as he walked over to her and once he got to where she was thousands of rose petals fell on both of them.
"I love you Amanda...from the very first time I met you at the cafe, I couldn't take my eyes off you." He confessed as Amanda blushed.
"I love you so much Amanda, will you be my girlfriend." He said as he went on one knee and brought out a ring box from his pocket and opened it to reveal a beautiful ring.
"Oh Charles!" Amanda stared at him in disbelief.
"Say yes!" Their friends cheered.
"Go Charles!" Chris and Daniel cheered.
"Say yes to him already." Eliza complained.
"Yes...I'll be your girlfriend." Amanda replied as Charles slid the ring into her ring finger.
"Yes! Go team #AMARIS." Ella and Eliza giggled as the two embraced themselves.
