I'm Gonna Reach You, My Love (Romantic Series #1)

Chapter 17

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng makita ko ang resulta sa bulletin board about sa rankings namin.

"Congrats, you did great" Ethan patted my head and smiles.

I ranked one, it's surprising because I didn't really expect to be this high. I was so anxious that I would be in rank lower than this, but I'm glad, thank God.

"Thank you, and congrats to you too" sabi ko din, he ranked two overall. He put his arm on my shoulder and pulled me closer to him.

"What do you wanna do? Let's celebrate hmm?" agad namang lumiwanag ang mukha ko at nag-isip kung ano bang gusto kong gawin.

"Let's get ice cream!" masiglang sagot ko naman at agad siyang tumango. We decided to go with our friends to celebrate pur achievements since kasama kaming lahat.

I'm supposed to invite the three pero may lakad yung kambal with their parents, and Claire still needs to catch up with her one performance task, pero nasa ranking silang tatlo, well na bribe ni Claire yung teacher niya na kapag pinass niya yun, sure na mataas ang grade niya and naka-compute na agad.

"Ang galing mo talaga Sky, I can't believe it, first year namin si Leo lang ang nasa top ten, pababa na kami, since you know, nanibago" sabi ni Kyle. Ngumiti ako sakanya.

"You will really exceed kapag gusto mo ginagawa mo, and besides hard work pays off" sagot ko naman at sumubo ulit ng ice cream.

"Well, congrats to everyone, we all did great this school year, I hope we will nail it next time" Ellaine raised her cup to make a toast, with ice cream.

We laughed at the idea but made a toast anyway. We are laughing, enjoying and talking about our journey.

"We're thankful that we met you, Sky" napa-angat ako ng tingin kay Ellaine. She is smiling at me.

"No, I'm thankful for you guys, after all, you contributed so much into my life, I couldn't thank you enough for making it easier for me, ever since you all came, it changed my life" sagot ko naman at ngumiti naman silang lahat na para bang nagbigay ako ng napakagandang speech.

"That's sweet, but really, ever since you came along, this circle had never been so lively, especially Ethan" tinaasan pa siya ng kilay ni Ellaine at natawa naman ako.

"Oh he's that grumpy huh?" pang-aasar ko naman at tumawa kami.

"Continue your little talk and don't include me" sagot niya naman. Nagkibit-balikat ako at itinuloy ang pagkain ng ice cream.

We stayed there for not long and decided to go home. Ethan dropped me off.

"How's your day?" salubong sa akin ni kuya. Ngumiti naman ako.

"Good, ranked one" sagot ko at ibinalik niya ang ngiti.

"That's my sister" ginulo niya ang buhok ko. "You're doing well Ky. I'm so proud of you" dagdag niya at nag ning-ning ako sa sinabi niya.

"Thanks! And thank you for being patient with me, love you!" pagyakap ko naman sakanya at ginawa niya iyon pabalik.

I was so happy. Nakangiti ako papunta ng room, hindi na kami nag kla-klase pero may mga requirements pa rin kaming inaasikaso to official pass the school year.

"You have so much energy" Ethan yawned. Nakasalubong ko siya at mukhang na puyat siya. He look so tired.

"And you look...." tinignan ko siya mula ulo hanggang paa. "Sleepless, what happened?" tanong ko.

"It's nothing, I just picked up my grandparents at the airport, it's kind of late so I didn't get much sleep" sagot niya at tumango naman ako.

"Well, you need to sleep, after this you can rest, since it's not a busy day" sabi ko naman, tinignan niya ako ng matagal bago nagsalita.
