Saturday.
"On today's hot news! Berriens University's principal, is sentenced to be prisoned in jail for a lifetime. yikes! it was said that, he abused and raped a minor in their well known school. what a shame, considering he was looked up by many students. tsk3x. evidences were found by a group of highschool kids which were injured because of his men.
remember, rape happens because of rapists. not because of what you're wearing or because you're drunk. rape happens because there are rapists."
They cheered their hearts out in success and turned off the television. the group were at Fatima's crib, waiting for that exact news to release. and when the news finally did release, they couldn't be any happier. finally, after months of sufferings and confusions. thanks to a single sticky note, they saved a life. "he deserved it." Vauna said while munching on her chips. everyone laughed and nodded agreeing to what she said. "I'm glad everything's solved now. I wish Yuree is happy too..... up there." Aubrey said and everyone went silent, looking at eachother with smiles on their faces. feeling somehow proud.
"alright! cut the drama! we're here to have fun and celebrate." Fatima said to everyone while holding her can of soda in the middle of the table, holding it up high. everyone laughed and followed Fatima, they clinked their can of sodas together while saying, "for our success!" they then cheered and emptied their can of soda. when they looked at eachother's eyes, they bursted out laughing, feeling joy spread all over the atmosphere.
in a moment in your life, did you ever just wish, time could stop? like you hope this day would last forever? you're enjoying this particular day that you wish it just wouldn't end? yeah, that's what they were feeling at the moment. the feeling of enjoyment mixed with fear, but a good kind of fear.
everyone was doing their own business now, some were playing video games, some were chitchating, someone was asleep and some were enjoying the moment. suddenly, Elyan had the urge to go to Fatima's balcony. she wanted fresh air. so she stood up and went on her way to Fatima's balcony. she slowly pushed the glass door and went to the railings. the cold breeze of wind immediately greeted her to which she closed her eyes and savored the moment. not to mention, the view was breathtaking.
"you're too engrossed at the moment that you didn't notice me huh." a feminine voice spoke up, making her flinch a lil. she landed her eyes and saw Lyssa, also looking at the view infront of them. there was a moment of comfortable silence in the air. the two didn't dare to break it and enjoyed the atmosphere that they were in at the moment. but ofcourse, someone has to break it.
"wowwwww it's beautiful in hereee." Jannah said before bombarding compliments, admiring the view. "not as beautiful as you." Miro said while tailing behind her. they both stopped and looked at eachother until Jannah brought up her hand to pinch Miro's side. the two that were chilling near the railings looked at the both of them with scrunched faces. "ew." they both said in unison and laughed.
6 months later....
days, weeks, months had passed already since that tragic happenings. they were much better than what they were before. the school made sure to provide them free stuffs and such. the group were still going intact and their bond became stronger after everything that happened to them. although they were busier than before, they never forget to inform each other what's going on with their lives. sometimes they go out to eat and reminisce.
Fatima and Jannah were promoted as the head captain of the cheerleaders. Lyssa, won alot of competition already in badminton, she and Lexi started to go out on dates and such things couples do and she couldn't be happier. Vauna, let's just say, her and Louis's bet turned into reality. they completely fell for each other that they stopped pretending and turned everything real. she's still focusing on her studies though. Elyan, published a new book and guess what? yep, success. plus her parents bought her a car so she goes on adventure every weekends. she's the busiest in the group.
Aubrey, still thr typical bad bitch but hey, atleast she joined choir. her and Julian were still inseparable. speaking of Julian, she started a baking business named after her mother. the group often goes to her cafe to get free snacks. Miro, he was still in the soccer team. he often goes cycling with Lyssa and his boys. in a span of 6 months, nothing but success and blessings greeted them after they got out from hell.
Today was the last day of school, the group were settled down with various kinds of non alcoholic drinks in their hands. they asked permission to chill at the school's rooftop. the place where it all started. and finally after months of being busy and stuffs, they were complete... again.
"it's been awhile." Fatima said while scanning the rooftop with a smile on her face. it's just weird that after all the traumatic things that happened to them, she still finds the place comforting. "yeah, brings back lots of memories." Julian chuckled and sighed, she missed this. a comfortable silence slipped in after their conversation to which they all laughed.
"I'm gonna miss this so much." Vauna said with sadness laced in her voice. long story short, her parents decided to transfer her into another university since they bought a new house, but she promised she'll pay a visit everytime she has a chance. "c'monnnn! don't act like we're going to die or something. we're just far away from eachother but our hearts are close." Aubrey joked to which she earned a smack on the arm from Elyan. "yeah, and we'll promise to visit you too." Jannah said sincerely.
"don't worry about this too much. for now, let's enjoy the moment." Miro said to which everyone agreed. "I'm glad we're still alive after all of what happened." Elyan said that made everyone burst out a good laugh. "remember the time we almost got KILLED in a car crash?" Jannah said while glaring at Miro, they laughed at the sight of the two. "yeah for real tho, I thought you were going to die when I saw you all bloody." Julian said and quickly earned a pinch from Jannah.
"so y'all forgot how that jerk pointed a gun at me?" Lyssa laughed, shaking her head side to side while taking a sip at her cold brew. "if I was there I would choke him to death." Aubrey stated confidently to which Julian scoffed. "you can't even open a bottle of water." Vauna said to which everyone bursted out laughing. they stayed like that until the night sky turned darker, catching up with eachother and laughing.
suddenly, a moment of silence enveloped them after the long talk. then it hit them, it might be the last time they're going to be complete here, in this place. Elyan sighed and made everyone scoot closer to form a circle. she held out her hand and sighed before saying, "promise me this won't be our last hangout here, in this particular area."
everyone looked at her hand that was reached out in the center and nodded. after awhile each one of them reached out their hands with no hesitations. "to our friendship?" Aubrey asked with a chuckle. "to our friendship!" everyone then followed, they threw their hands up high and laughed their hearts out, everyone had a wide smile plastered on their faces.
value true friendships.
