A week later
Today's the day, my last day at college, my graduation. As I have black college uniform, I decided to put on my favourite dress that I have in my wardrobe.
I put on little necklace with black heart and my black heels and I let my hair fall down my shoulders.
"I need a hand with this Els" Sophia shouted and I went to her room
"With what?" I asked looking at her
"this" she said pointing to lace around her waist and I tied it at her back
"you're so pretty" I said looking at her dress
"you're ten times prettier you're going to steal my show" she whined joking what caused us both laugh
"Caps, uniforms and we're ready" I said, and she nodded taking her uniform from bed and put it on her dress as I went to pick up my uniform and put it on
"let's go" she said and took car keys
"My parents will be here" she carefully said looking at me
"okay" I said and smiled at her even it hurts
After that she didn't say anything because she knew how this affect on me.
•••••••••
"Manuela Cooper" I heard my full name on what my heart broke even more as I walked to director of college who was giving us our diplomas
"congratulations" he said giving me my diploma
"Thank you" I said and lightly smiled walking to other people who already got their diplomas
As everyone got their diplomas it was time for us to do the last thing and officially graduate. We all took our caps and threw it in the air. We have party at venue near college and it is more than huge. Parents were waiting for their kids while I was walking with Sophia to her family.
"Hey sweetheart, we're so proud of you" her mum said hugging her as my heart twitched for hundredth time today.
"I'm so proud of you" I heard familiar voice behind me, so I turned around not believing who I see
"w-what you're doing here?" I asked disappointed
"Not even hug your friend?" he asked, and I just looked at him even more mad
"Who told you to come here, today?" I asked
"I have my sources" he said and got closer to me what caused me to step back and hit in someone
"Hey Els, everything's okay?" Sophia asked standing next to me, gladly I hit her not someone else
"she's okay don't worry, I got her" he said smiling
"And you are?" Sophia asked
"Childhood friend" he said giving Sophia his hand, but she just looked at him with death gaze
"you're not invited to this party, so please leave it" she said to him and pulled me away from him
"Who is he?" she asked confused
"Thank you for driving him away" I said "he's not important, don't worry about it now" I added
"Ela" she warned me
"Just not today Soph, I'll tell you one day, I promise" I said
"okay" she said and in a second smile came on her lips looking behind me
"Guess who is here" she asked, and I turned around to see Mason, Kai, Timo and Ben
"What are they doing here?" I asked confused, they couldn't come here, this is full of their fans, and it won't end well
"I don't know" she said smiling as boys came closer to us
"Look at you" Mason commented looking at Sophia
"We won't stay for long; we just came to see you and congratulation you on graduation" Ben said looking at me
"Um, thanks" I said still confused
"You look amazing" he whispered
"Thank you" I whispered shyly
"we're celebrating tomorrow, don't forget" Timo said hugging me and then Sophia
"You take every opportunity to celebrate" Sophia said laughing
"of course," he said laughing
"Okay some of us need to go on evening training for match on Sunday so, we will see you tomorrow" Mason said
"And some of us have match on Monday but are still in England" Kai said looking at Timo
"Hey, it's not my fault" Timo said
"Okay lads, let's go before we get crashed by all the people in here" Ben said
"Yeah, let's go, see you tomorrow" Mason said and they left after what Sophia, and I got hundreds of questions about what they were doing here
••••••••
"Who was that guy?" Sophia asked as we came home and get ourselves ready for sleep
"As he said he is childhood friend, but he was always insulting and harassing me, I prayed god to not see him ever again in my life but here he is, he came today, ruining this day for me" I said, and she just hugged me
"I'm sorry" she said "you should've told me earlier" she added still hugging me
"I didn't want to bother you with that and actually I didn't saw him for 7 years" I said, and she sighed
"If I knew what he was doing to you I would punch that ugly face of his in a second" she said, and I smiled
"No need for that, he didn't deserve any attention" I said
"What about Ben?" she asked
"What about him?" I asked
"Is something happening between you two" she asked
"we're just friends, that's all" I said, and she nodded
"If you say so" she mumbled and I rolled my eyes knowing she doesn't believe me
