Act 9

That summer was not very special to say, it was normal. Nothing bad or good happened, she read a lot during her vacations, the truth is what he did the most during that period. Besides spending time with his family.

The return to classes was quiet, there was a ceremony for the students who graduated that year, a couple of photographs, and a list of events that they would have prepared for all those who finished that school stage.

Her friends congratulated her, but confessed that they would miss her a lot when they saw her go away from them, they felt that she would forget them. She told them that this would not be the case, that she would never forget them as she was grateful and she considered them a second family in her world.

After one month a boy two years younger than her confessed to her and unfortunately pressured her to be a couple, she convinced herself that she could turn out to have a relationship with that person. How wrong she was, more than a couple, she seemed like a caged bird, deprived of sharing with the people she loved.

I cut my losses and ended up with that person, she did not regret it because she knew it was the best for her, he was only limiting her to grow.

After the passage of a few days she began to feel better, she realized that she did not want to love again for the moment. She was fine with herself and she didn't need a partner to be happy. She concentrated on finishing her senior year well and preparing her life plan after leaving school.

-So you plan to take a year to know what to study? - Her friend asked while they ate some cookies in the classroom during recess - That's what I want to do, I'm still not sure what I want to do, and you? She - she yawned her settling into her seat

-I have the same in mind, I want to study Graphic Design, but I need to prepare better to enter a good university.

They talked about that subject and other trivial matters until she gave the time to start the next class, the truth before she did not question what she wanted to do with her life, but now everything was different. She wanted to do the best possible for her future and that no matter what she chose that would make her very happy.

Many events happened near the end of the school year, she was quite busy with various things. There was so much to plan yet and she hadn't even half of it done. They would do a graduation dance. She was never interested in going because she had no partner and also she did not know anyone to socialize with. Now everything was different for her, her best friend wanted them to go together, it would be the last chance to enjoy an occasion like that and she found it important as a memory for her friendship.

They saw every detail for that event together, she even offered to find him a partner. She hadn't thought about it and told him not to worry that she would see how to fix it herself. The truth is that if he had someone in mind, but was not sure if that person agreed to go, they had already talked about it before and he confessed that he liked a girl, with whom he would be the only one who would go to an important event like that.

However, her fate is sometimes very cruel and it happened that just a few weeks before the dance, a girl she knew about her uttered quite cruel words that only caused a depressive crisis in her. Her therapist referred her to seclusion for three months, she could not go and she would miss that wonderful memory of her.

<Sometimes I feel that this life is not for me and that I should give it up> -she thought as she cried lying on her bed keeping her gaze on the ceiling-
