#ILWTG24 Chapter 24

"Get that away from my face," I said as he was taking videos of me. He was laughing but he did not stop taking videos and pictures. We were here in the makeshift studio. Naka-pila kami para sa graduation picture namin.

"You look so different when you're fully made up," sabi niya habang patuloy pa rin sa pagkuha ng video. Then, he turned the video to Jax who looked like a living dead. Ever since his break-up with his ex, sobrang mas lalo siyang naging tahimik. Kung dati parang disappointed lang siya sa mundo, ngayon parang legit galit na siya sa mundo.

That's also the reason why her name could never be mentioned in front of Jax. He's that sensitive. He's just still so in love kahit galit siya.

I frowned at him. "Just talk to Jax, okay? Layuan mo muna ako."

He laughed. "Sungit," sabi niya pero sumunod naman siya at pinuntahan si Jax na mukhang one step away from going insane na talaga.

It's been a long time coming, but we finally reached this point. I could confidently say that the second year was the worst. Sobrang bigat ng load. Third year was hard, but I was used to the load. I almost got delayed because I almost failed civil procedure—what could I say? Civil's not really my best friend. Fourth year? Sobrang bilis ng pangyayari. I couldn't barely breathe because iyong mga inaral ko ng isang sem, isang linggo lang nung fourth year.

Ang dami kong iniyak.

Sobrang hirap.

I lost count of the times that I asked myself if I could still do it.

I just did.

But damn, it's all worth it.

We're finally a step away from getting our diplomas.

"Floresca," the photographer called. Naupo ako sa harap. I couldn't help but smile as he began to take pictures. I longed for this. I worked for this. Sobrang kinikilig ako na hindi ko mapaliwanag!

'Go, babe,' Yago mouthed as he watched me. Kumukuha din siya ng sarili niyang pictures. 'Di ko alam kung ano ang gagawin niya sa mga videos, though. Magpapaka-vlogger na yata siya sa dami ng videos na kinuha niya ngayong araw.

I was really looking forward to our one-month break! We still needed to finish our application for the BAR permit tapos finally, pinayagan na ako ni Papa na sumama kay Yago sa Seattle for vacation. After kasi nun, start na ng review namin. Yago and I decided na 'di muna talaga kami mag-uusap masyado kapag start na iyong exam. We needed to devote our full attention to reviewing.

After I was done, it was Yago's turn and then Jax's and then Cha's. Nang matapos sila, nagpose kami para sa group photo namin. I was so happy. We all worked incredibly hard for this. Gusto kong maiyak na malungkot na hindi ko maintindihan. I knew that after this, we wouldn't be able to talk as much. Jax wanted to pursue a career in criminal law. Cha wanted to be a corporate lawyer. I was still deciding—I was more excited because Yago promised that he'd propose after the BAR... I guess that that was my plan.

"Samgyup?" I asked. We're legit done with school. Naghihintay na lang kami ng graduation.

Cha shrugged. "Sure."

"Ikaw?" I asked Jax na mukhang lutang na naman.

He sighed. "Fine."

I beamed. "Nice," I said as I anchored my arm with his. Si Yago naman sa kabila. We just felt really bad seeing Jax so down kaya tuwing umaalis kami ni Yago, we try our best to take Jax with us. Mukha tuloy ako lagi iyong third wheel sa kanilang dalawa, but it's fine.
