(Elena P.O.V)
It has been more than a year, since Oliver come here to find me and talk with me, and since then he has not come here, and I was grateful for that.
I still miss him every day, he used to call me and leave voicemails but after a few weeks he stopped, and I’m glad he stopped because it was hard on me. I was on the verge of breaking and going back to Oliver, maybe it’s the mate bond that’s pulling me towards Oliver. I snort out loud, I shouldn’t have done that, the whole class is looking at me like I’m crazy.
Yeah, that’s right I’m in class right now, ugh only a few more weeks, and then I will be done, hopefully forever.
I can’t wait to start my new job, maybe that will help me to get over Oliver, I should get a rebound. But I know better than to date anybody in my class or year those things just end badly and in heartbreak.
And I’m not in the mood for that.
A few months later.
“Now I would like to like to invite our guest of honor Mr. McKnight, to come and say a few encouraging words to our student,” the principal Mr. David said in the mike and Mr. McKnight comes and takes the stage.
“Thank you, everyone, first of all, I would like to thank Mr. David to invite me to this wonderful occasion, and would like to congratulate all of you on your graduation.” Mr. McKnight said in the mike.
“After my graduation, I have directly taken over the company of my father, but I guess not all of us were born with the silver spoon in our mouth right?” he asks and chuckles at himself.
“After your graduation, some of you will take over your father’s company, some of you will go for your higher studies, some of you start your own business, and some of you join other companies, I only wanted to say one thing to you, do whatever you want to do but do it with passion and only do it if you want to do it because, if you do it because your parents or relatives force you to do it, the thing you do will feel like a burden to you but if you are doing it because you want to do it you will feel yourself enjoying your work instead of feeling it like a burden, and in the last but not the least, before you make any decision about your career go through all the pros and cons of the thing you want to do and also do full research on it, this way you will never regret your decisions, that’s all, thank you,” he said and walks back to his seat while all of us, applauded for him including me.
“Thank you for your wonderful speech, Mr. Mcknight now, let's begin the distribution of the certificates, Addison Walker,” the principal said and started calling the names.
“Now I will call one of my favorite students, who just not only did top in every year of her college but also have got a respectful place in one of the prestigious company in new york, Elena Dawson, please come to the stage,” the principal call my name and I walk to the stage with a huge grin on my face making sure I didn’t fall from the stairs and make fun of myself in front of lots of people.
“Would you like to say something to your friends, Miss. Dawson?” the principal asks me.
“Sure,” I said to him and he stands aside so that I can stand in front of the mike.
“First of all, I would like to congratulate all my friends and like to thank my parents, and all the teachers of the college to support me, I know I can be a handful sometimes,” I said and chuckle lightly and others laughed with me.
“And I would also like to thank Mr. Mcknight for giving me a chance to work with him again, and Mr. Mcknight I agree with you because if we follow our dream and do what we want we will enjoy our and be able to fulfill it with all we have, it didn't matter the amount of income we earn from it, in the last when we were in the hospital taking ou last breath, we would feel happy and fulfilled that we enjoyed our life to our best and if you don't do what we want and do what others want us to do, then we will regret the thin we had done in our life thinking what would be the things in life would have like if we have just followed our dreams when we were taking our last breath. It's just what I think we should do, but in the last, it was your choice to make, so enjoy and thank you all once again,” with that said I take my degree from Mr. McKnight, shake his hand and get back to my seat.
After the distribution of degrees was finished, I walked toward my family, they congratulated me and engulf me in a tight hug. After meeting their parents my friend congratulate me and hug me when Mr. Mcknight come and joined us.
"Mr. McKnight, meet my parents, Raven and Hunter Dawson, and my brother Brandon, not to forget Alice and Mia my friend, everyone he is my boss Xavier Mcknight," I introduce him to everyone. We talk for some time and Mr. Mcknight says goodbye to us and the staff members.
After saying goodbye to my friend I go with my parents and brother to my favorite restaurant to celebrate my graduation day with them. The next day, I go shopping with my broker and spend the whole day with my family.
After that, I packed my bags, said goodbye to my family and parents, and drove to the airport with my brother. The plane was boarding and I felt butterflies in my stomach, I don’t know why but I just can’t wait to start my new life. I want to start with a clean slate.
As soon as I touch the ground in NY I’m off looking for a cap, I’m staying in an apartment that is paid for the first 6 months by the company, after six months I have to pay for it myself.
The cap pulls up to the apartment and it’s fucking beautiful I can already see that I’m going to love it, and I can’t wait to get settled in but right now I’m too tired to take care of it and I just go towards the bedroom, I pull on some pj’s and as soon as my head hits the pillow I’m off to dreamland.
