Chapter 50 ANN PAST(2): THE CEREMONY
ANN POV
“DRINGGGG”. The loud sound of the alarm clock chimed in and I quickly groaned before I turned around on the bed and used the pillow to block my ear by pressing it against my head. Last night I couldn’t sleep and the last thing I want right now is to be disturbed or waken up from my sleep.
“Come-on Ann wake up, ain’t you hearing the alarm. It’s morning”. Silver yelled and threw a pillow at me.
“Can’t we just sleep a little longer”. I muffled out as my face was buried on the bed below the pillow.
“No wake up Ann, we are almost an hour late”. Silver yelled and began bouncing on the bed which made it hard for me to sleep. I wish I could tell her to go without me but that would be the worst decision because she would suspect that I’m hiding something from her.
I finally took the pillow off my head and sat up at the edge of the bed. I was experiencing a serious headache, probably because i couldn’t sleep well last night because of too much thinking. I placed my hand on my head, trying to relieve myself from pains before I stretched my body and yawned. Then I turned to look at Silver who was standing behind me. She was fully dressed in her long red gown with the hat on her head which was the uniform given to us by our head instructor. I had no idea what she wore inside since the gown was buttoned to the end.
“How do I look?”. Silver asked then turned around for me to check her out.
I gave her a thumb up and smiled,”Good”. I responded.
“How about my face makeup, is it okay?”. Silver asked and I just ignored her since I still feel dizzy.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Silver, I just woke up and I can’t see your face clearly”. I said as I stood up from the bed and entered the bathroom.
“Oh okay”. Silver simply said and sat on the bed as she waited.
I took the towel off my body and entered the bathroom then turned on the shower. I spent almost twenty minutes washing my body while trying to recover from the slight headache. I turned off the shower when I was done, grabbed a clean towel and dried my body before I wrapped it around my chest. I came out of the bathroom and saw my clothes already arranged on the bed. I was relieved that I didn’t have to stress myself by searching for clothes in my wardrobe so I just wore the dress Silver had kept for me on the bed.
“Ann, are you sure that you’re okay?”. Silver asked, staring at me with concern in her eyes.
How do i explain to her that I’m not fine at all, especially when today is our graduation and i don’t wanna ruin it for her by telling her all i have been going through in my relationship with Lorenzo.
“Answer me Ann ”. Silver stood up from the bed and leaned closer to me. “I know you’re hiding something from me, I can feel it”.
I turned my face and smiled at her,”See i am fine Silver”. I said while forcing a fake smile on my face just to convince her.
Silver sighed,”If you say so”. She said and gave me some time to dress up. I wore my clothes before we ate, then she applied makeup on my face and we departed for school.
We were two hours late when we arrived and the school was already crowded but I and Silver were able to get a free seat at the front roll. I wondered how she managed to get one but I don’t care to know either. The student who successfully graduated was giving their speech and Lorenzo was one of them. Even though I was late, at least I came on time to see my boyfriend giving his speech in front of the crowd. Everyone was cheering and throwing some rose flowers at him as he gave his speech. When I waved at him he didn’t care to look at me or give me a wink or anything. He went to meet his friends as he was done giving his speech. We all threw our hats to the air when the graduation was over. We said goodbyes to our friends and took selfies. I had to fake my excitement the whole day just because of Silver as I didn’t want her to suspect anything. Meanwhile while having fun with her, I was stealing a glance at Lorenzo to be sure he was having fun too which he was and that was enough to make me happy.
By five o’clock in the evening, Silver and i has already arrived home to pack about belongings into our bag so we could go home. I helped Silver pack our things from the house even though I wasn’t going home with her.
“I don’t think I will be going home with you today”. I said, immediately we were done packing.
“What do you mean?”. Silver asked with a frown on her face, I knew she felt disappointed.
“I want you to cover up for me at home because I won’t be coming back home today, maybe tomorrow”. I said.
“But we already made plans for today”. Silver said sadly.
“I know Silver but something came up…”
“What came up then?”. Silver asked before I could even finish my statement.
“Silver I can…”.
Silver didn’t give me a chance to speak as she grabbed our luggage’s and left the room without saying a word to me. I felt bad but at the same time i don’t wanna lose Lorenzo. My phone chimed in with an incoming call and I quickly answered it even without knowing who the caller was.
“Meet me at my place, immediately”. Lorenzo said coldly and hung up the call on me before I could even speak.
I left my hostel and arrived at his a minute later. I looked down at myself, checking if the red dress was still okay. I couldn’t find another dress to wear since Silver had left with all the luggage’s. I knocked twice at the door before it opened and Lorenzo came out. I couldn’t help but admire his appearance, he was looking totally hot in the leather jacket and crazy jeans he wore. I was stunned for a moment because he was really prepared for today,”You look nice “. I managed to say but he didn’t give me a response but instead turned to lock the door.
“Let’s go”. Lorenzo said and walked me to his car which was outside. We both entered his car before he zoomed off.
