It's graduation day, and everyone around is happy, especially my mother. I also received an award during the ceremony. '
Congratulations, Ellie' my mom said while tears welled up in her eyes. 'I'm so proud of you,' she added."
Mrs. Cruz approached me as well and extended her congratulations on my graduation. 'Hmm, Miss Marquez,' she began, 'one of the major construction firms in the country invited you to apply to their company. If you have the opportunity, consider visiting their office.' She handed me a calling card."
After exchanging greetings with each other, Prof Gray approached me and extended his congratulations.
"Congratulations Ellie," he said with a smile.
I smiled back at him, knowing that we still need to keep our feelings for each other a secret since we are still inside the campus.
