Flickered By Innocence (Crossing The Line Series 4) ✅

F.B.I-20

"... and I wish all of my co-students would be successful with all of the paths that we will be taking. Again, this is Gellian Ross Zamora. Happy Graduation, everyone!" He proudly said into the microphone.

Kaagad na nagtayuan ang lahat ng mga estudyante sa auditorium kasabay ng mga magulang na narito rin para saksihan ang pagtatapos ng kanilang mga anak sa highschool.

Gellian's average is 98.7, while Aaron's is only a point lower at 98.6, making Gellian our Valedictorian for this year. I'm in the backseat, but I can still see how Aunt Cecil and Uncle Allen cried from so much joy. Gellian ran down the stage to give his parents a tight hug.

"Ma, Pa, p-para sa inyo po ang tagumpay ko." I heard him whimper, severely overwhemled.

Nagulat ang mga magulang nung buhatin si Gellian ng kanyang mga tropa na sina Aaron, Gabriel, Leonard, at Roque. Napakamot nalang ng ulo ang aming principal. Alam kong sanay na siya sa ganitong eksena dahil laging laman ng Guidance Office sina Gabriel. Umiwas ako ng tingin nung makita kong hinalikan ni Krisha si Gellian sa pisngi na siya namang kinatuwa ng ilang estudyante.

Levi stood up from his seat while holding a tight grip on his camera. "Aba't gaga 'yan, ah! Lagot ka sa 'king bruha ka—"

"Levi, stop. That's fine. Hindi ko naman nakita na hinalikan niya si Gellian, eh." I whispered.

Tumawa naman sila Kyle at Ezra na nasa akin ding tabi. Padabog namang umupo si Levi at kami nalang ang kinuhanan niya ng litrato. I already told them that I had a crush on Gellian, so they must be worried about me. I'm so glad that I didn't hear any objections when I told them what I really felt. They assured me that my feelings are fine and that loving a similar gender isn't something I should be ashamed of.

"Congrats, Gellian." bati ko nung makalapit ako sa kanila pagkatapos ng ceremony.

"No need to congratulate my son, since he's really meant to be in the highest rank." Uncle Allen proudly remarked.

Bakas ang pagkagulat ng ilang estudyante nung marinig iyon sa kanya. My dad mentioned that Uncle Allen was really competitive when they were studying before and that never left him, even when he aged. I couldn't help but pity Gellian since I know he's having a hard time meeting the expectations of his own dad.

"We will be having a victory party in our mansion. Do you guys want to come? My son's girlfriend is also invited, so I hope you will come along." Uncle Allen added while pointing at Krisha.

Kyle gasped in surprise. "Girlfriend mo na pala si Krisha, Gellian? Hindi mo man lang sinabi..."

Gellian hadn't answered for a long time. Krisha smirked before she snaked her arms around Gellian's. We're both looking at their intimate scene, and it makes me want to barge out of the auditorium. It breaks my heart to see Gellian just letting her do what she's doing.

"Bakit kailangan niyo pang malaman? Di naman kayo kasali sa relasyon." Mapang-asar na turan ni Krisha.

Gellian removed the arms of Krisha that were wrapped around his and held her hand. My heart has been crushed already. I just smiled at him when he looked at me. Tears were forming up in my eyes, but I managed to stop them from falling.

Gellian's jaw clenched. "Guys, s-sorry if I didn't inform you, but yes. Me and K-krisha are now together. I hope you're... happy with us."
