[[The Last Chapter XXIII]]

"As we go on, we'll remember...all the times we, had together..."

On graduation day in possibly every school, the song was almost a sure-play. There could hardly be any other song that could more amptly sum up how graduating students would feel on the day they finish school and take the next important step in their life.

That day, the school was buzzing with lots of activities. The graduating students were feeling both happy and sad before the ceremony, and the juniors were busy with making sure that their seniors would fondly remember their last day in school.

Everyone was smartly dressed. Some brought their parents along to witness an important moment of their lives. Some brought their close friends or their significant others. The rest, like Jaime, chose to attend the ceremony alone.

As each student went on stage to receive their diplomas, there were smiles of happiness and relief. All the hard work for the last three years had finally bore fruit. Jaime could hardly force himself to smile as he received his certificate from the school's director. His mind was preoccupied with preparing himself on what he had to do later.

The class gathered at the canteen after the ceremony. Everyone was excited about their successful graduation from school. There was so much to talk about over lunch. Jaime quietly excused himself and went to the bus stop on the other side of the road from school.

"Hi there...do you think I can talk to you to private for a short moment?"

It didn't take long before Celine replied his message. Some part of her sort of expected Jaime to have something to tell her. But she could never had dreamt of what was going to happen.
