BEAUTY AND THE GEEK ~ Timothée Chalamet ✓

~53~

Anya walked with her parents and little brother to the football stadium of her school, where the graduation ceremony was about to take place in.

"I'll see you guys later.." she exclaimed and they proudly smiled at her, before going to the bleachers.

The girl made it to the field, where there was a big stage and a lot of chairs in front of it, for the graduates.
A lot of students were already there, her friends also.
She carefully searched in the crowd for the one she desperately wanted to catch a glimpse of, but he was nowhere to be found.
Where was he? She wanted to finally talk to him, and apologize, and try to make up. She hadn't spoken to him in just 5 days and it felt as if a whole month had passed by.

"Girl!" Gregg shouted when he spotted her and all of her friends looked at her from afar. She quickly walked up to them and they put her in a group hug.

"Have you guys seen him... Or Nick?" she quietly asked.

"We haven't seen any of them yet... But Lauren is right there.. The news were shocking to me... How could she do this to you.." Marie spoke as she caressed her friend's back.

"It really was shocking for me too.."

"None of us has spoken to her yet.. We'll let you confront her first, since that's what you want." Ollie said and Anya nodded.

"Do you think she even knows we know?" Gregg asked.

"I don't know.. But we'll find out soon.. She'll only approach us if she thinks we're still unaware of her actions."  Anya shrugged.

"Ugh... How are we even going to pretend we still like her if she decides to come talk to us.." Ollie groaned.

"Don't pretend.. Just don't accuse her of anything. I'll talk to her after the ceremony. And then you can all give her a piece of your mind or something.." Anya exclaimed and her friends nodded.

"Isn't that Timothée's mother on the bleachers?" the boy asked as soon as he spotted the woman.

"Omg.. Yes.. And his father, and his sister.. So he must be here too.. Hes probably trying to hide from me..." she shaked her head.

"Maybe.. But he's gonna have to talk to you sooner or later.." Gregg exclaimed.

"Omg.. The traitor is coming." Marie instantly said as she noticed Lauren walking their way.

"Hi guys!" she fake smiled at everyone and they did the same.

"So sorry about what happened at prom... But it seems like you finally got rid of the manipulator.. So that's a good thing baby!" Lauren patted Anya's shoulder.

"Ooh yeah! Thank God I got rid of the manipulator...!" she ironically said.

It was time for everyone to take a seat, so they had to be separated and sit in alphabetical order.
Anya sat on her seat in the middle row of the south side of the stadium and some seconds later her eyes finally landed on him.
He looked handsome even in his graduation gown and cap.

He didn't take his eyes off of the ground, until he made it to his seat and finally sat down.
Although he was a few rows away from Anya, and she was only able to see his back, her heart was still beating too fast.

The principal got on the stage and the ceremony began.

After listening to a couple of boring speeches, it was time for everyone to get their diplomas.
A bunch of students got into a line by the stage and waited to hear their names, and get their diplomas, so the next line of students could take their place.
The principal started shouting the names of the students, through the microphone.
