Weeks passed by swiftly and a lot of good things happened into my life, to the point that it feels surreal.

If Vernon was clingy before, well he is more clingy now. Like he would hug and kiss me every time he gets. It was as if he was restraining himself from doing those, while he was courting me because he respects me.

But of course when he visits me at home, he can't be so clingy because Kuya Prix is always there.

Hays.

Natatawa na lang ako sa kanila.

My parents especially Halmoni were so happy for me and Vernon. Nalaman ko pa na kasama pala si Halmoni sa plano niya. That explains why she wanted me to go out that time.

Kuya Prix, on the other hand, wasn't saying anything about us but I know he is respecting my relationship with my boyfriend. Plus, I was surprised when the results of our final exams was released. I got high scores -the scores my family wanted me to have.

Also, as days goes by, Vernon never failed to make me feel loved. I no longer have a hard time studying because we're now study buddies. He always helps me doing my projects, lalo na pag sobrang dami na.

"Congrats, princess!" bati ni Dad pagbaba ko sa stage para kuhain ang awards ko.

Yes, it's my graduation day.

Senior High School wasn't really that easy because there's a lot of school requirements you need to do. But still, I'm glad I finished it. I also thanked my teacher in Physics. Kung hindi niya ako binigyan ng extra projects ay baka maging irregular student ako. Possible din na i-take ko ulit ang subject na 'yon for the next school year.

"Congrats, Euri." Mom greeted me with teary eyes and then she hugged me. "We're so proud of you! College ka na rin sa susunod na school year." She wiped her tears.

Lumapit si Kuya samin at ginulo ang buhok ko. "Congrats, iyakin." ngumisi siya.

"Kuya!" I pouted my lips and glared at him.

Tumawa sila Mom sa reaction ko. Nilipat ko naman ang tingin sa katabi ni Kuya Prix.

Vernon smiled proudly at me. "Congrats," he mouthed.

I smiled back and mouthed, "Thank you."

Syempre hindi 'yon nakalagpas sa paningin ni Kuya. Ngumiwi siya at umirap kay Vernon.

"Come on, let's celebrate! Libre ka namin nila Mom." he announced excitedly and drape his arm around my shoulder before throwing a glance at Vernon.

He stuck his tongue out.

Natatawang umiling na lang si Vernon sa pinaggagawa ni Kuya.

Mommy pinched Kuya's ear when she noticed him. "Ikaw talaga! Graduation na graduation ni Euri puro ka kalokohan, Prixther!"

"Alright, I'll stop na!" he conceded. Pilit na inaalis ang kamay ni Mommy sa tainga niya.

"Let's wait for Mama before we leave." Daddy laughed because they almost forgot Halmoni, who was at the restroom.

While waiting for Lola, I excused myself for awhile and went to my friends.

"Congrats, Lynn!" I greeted and then she hugged me.
