Chapter one hundred thirty-nine: "Graduation"

"You ready Penelope?" Daisy asked as she enter my clean room with all of my clothes packed in my luggage
4 months passed by quickly

Today is my Graduation

I glanced at myself in the mirror where I can see my natural hair coming out of the roots and my natural hazel eyes
I have decided to end my identity as Mia here, I did admit to the school staff that my real name is Penelope Angel Price

They thought I was joking until they saw the things Cloud did and how identical I was to the girl in the pictures

I requested to them that they could continue to call me Mia but say my real name in Graduation

Bun-bun was sleeping on top of my luggage peacefully, the baby bunny was like a companion to me throughout those 4 months
I decided to use the name that Cloud calls it since it's cute

My hand reached my phone to see if Cloud has sent me any messages, there weren't any.
How weird, he usually says good morning to me, either message or calls

Daisy looked around the room where the bedroom furniture has all been cleaned out, her eyes watered "I can't believe this is your last day here" her voice cracked before shedding tears in front of me

We have formed a sisterly bond during my stay here and she had made it a habit that we would do a lot of fun stuff every night, She would have to get used to living without me here. I put an arm around her "Hey now, don't cry or your make up will be ruined" I wiped her tears with my handkerchief

"True I better hold it in" she sniffed before fanning her eyes with her hand to dry it

We were wearing our uniforms and fixed our hair for this big day "Too bad my family is not here to witness me Graduate and get my medal" I said then sighed sadly

I haven't reconciled with my family during those 4 months after Cloud had found me, he asked my permission if he could tell them my location and I did let him
I'm not sure if they're gonna come though

All those nights of staying up late to video chat with Cloud so he could help me study and we would chat for a long time so he could sleep after our call
He complained that he can't sleep without talking to me

"Hey" we heard Mira say as she entered my room, her eyes were filled with sadness "So you're going back home huh?" Her eyes landed on my luggage

"Bitch you better visit us or else," she said while her eyes watered, Max came in to comfort her

I gave all of them a huge hug "I'm gonna miss you guys so much"

We heard a camera click, all of us turned to face the door to see Olivia holding a camera "For memories" she said to us

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you ready with your speech?" Ted asked as he drove us to school

Daisy gave me a smug look "I'm embarrassed that my idiotic friend in elementary is now a valedictorian in high school, I'm ashamed" she dramatically sighs
Yes, I was surprised as well when it was Sir Feng and the principal himself told me that I was gonna be the valedictorian for Graduation

It turns out that I garnered so many points in helping during language day including my good scores during tests that I was surprised when I saw my average results

The night before was pretty hectic, to say the least, I memorized my Graduation speech with help from Max while Daisy and Mira kept experimenting with which makeup style would look great on me.
