FINALE
🌀 Jade’s POV 🌀
I drove home with a smile on my face
Maybe Ethan do love me
He risked his life for me and now he asked me to be his prom date
“Ahhh!!!” I shouted in excitement as I drove
Don’t get too excited Jade, he hasn’t actually told you that he loves you; a voice in my head said
He will tell me, Ethan is not the outspoken type, he just needs some time
I got home and entered the sitting room
“Good evening Mom” I greeted with a smile
“Welcome Jade, how’s Ethan and James?” Mom asked
“They are doing great, where’s Dad?” I asked
“He is already asleep” Mom answered
“Okay, am off to my room then” I said and climbed up the stairs
I went in,side my room and jumped on the bed
“Am going to the prom as Ethan’s date!!” I squealed
🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇
🌀 Ethan’s POV 🌀
I stood in the sitting room and looked around
The house so empty
Dad and Josh has gone to work and Sophie has gone to school
If I stay here alone am gonna die of loneliness, am used to being around my friends now
I took my phone and called James
“Are you at home?” I asked
“Yeah” he replied
“Am coming then” I said and ended the call
I walked out of the house and looked the door
I took a cab to James house, I didn’t take the bus cause I don’t think I’ll be able to handle all the staring since we kinda appeared on the news during the kidnap incident and there’s still a white bandage round my head
The gate man opened the gate for me and I walked into the house
James was in the sitting room watching a movie
“What’s up man” he said as I came in
“Where is Mom and Dad?” I asked as I sat down in one of the couch
“They went out” he said
I joined him in watching the movie though he had already gone far but James filled me in on what’s happening in the movie
“Have you asked Jade to be your prom date?” James asked as the movie ended
“Yeah and she agreed”
“That’s great, I’ve got a prom date too” he said
“Really!, Who is it?”
“Guess” he said
“I don’t know, is it Licia?”
“Who is Licia?” He asked
“Are you really asking me that, she’s your seatmate, you told me you’ve always had a crush on her”
“That was then Ethan, that was when men were still kids” he said and I laughed
“Anyway, it’s Addy” he said and I was surprised
“Addy?” I asked
“Yeah, I asked her when she dropped me off yesterday”
“That’s great James” i said
“I noticed she was a bit moody on the ride home and I knew you’ve probably told her you don’t love her, so to lighten up her mood, I asked her to come to the prom with me and she agreed, it’s a win-win for both of us, I got a prom a date and she’s going to the prom with a handsome guy like me”
“Yeah you are as handsome as a 100 year old tortoise” I said with smirk
“And you are as handsome as an elderly bulldog” he said and we both laughed
“Have you spoken with Jade today?” He asked
“No”
“What are you doing man, you are supposed to wake her up with your calls and good morning messages, have you even confessed your feeling to her?” He asked
“No”
“Come on man, what’s wrong with you, you know what, you should probably tell her at the prom, it will be perfect”
“Maybe, I just hope am able to tell her”
“You will, prom is next tomorrow, you still have time to prepare” he said and I nodded
“And number one rule of the prom is the guy picks up his prom date from home so you’ve got to get a car, maybe you’ll rent it or I’ll lend you one, then you’ll go pick Jade up and drive her to the school” James said
He continued giving me lessons on what to do and what not to do during the prom, it got to point I got so tired of he was saying and I dozed off on the couch
🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇
“You can do this Ethan” I said as took a deep breath and took my phone and dialled Jade’s number
“Hello” she said as she picked up and my heart beat increased
“Goo…. good morning” I stuttered
“Good morning Ethan” she said
“How was your night?” I asked
“Short” she said “Mom made me follow her to the boutique yesterday evening to get my prom dress”
“Really, how’s the dress, what color is it?”
“You aren’t allowed to know Ethan” she said
“Why?” I asked
“It’s the rule, it has to be a surprised” she said
“Geez, you are reminding me of James” I said and she laughed
We continued talking and I was speaking normally and free with her now
I told her I’ll be picking her up and she was surprised and happy too
James ended up lending me his car
*******PROM NIGHT*******
I drove to Jade’s house and took a deep breath before coming down from the car
“You can do this man” I said to myself as I walked into the house
It’s prom night and am here to pick up Jade, James went to pick up Addy too
“Good evening” I greeted Jade’s parents who were both seated in the sitting room
“Evening Ethan, how are you?” Jade’s Mom asked with a smile
“Am fine” I said
“How’s the head?” Jade’s Dad asked
I’ve totally forgotten that there’s still a bandage on my head though I got most of it removed yesterday, now it’s just in my forehead now
“It’s better now” I said
“Jade!!” Her Mom called “come down, Ethan is here” she said
“Okay” I heard her voice from upstairs
Minutes later, she climbed down the stairs and I couldn’t keep my eyes off her
She was wearing a short purple gown and her hair was let down to her shoulders
“Hey Ethan” she said as she walked up to me and I smiled
“We’ll be going now” she said to her parents
“Good bye pumpkin” her dad said
“Good bye” she replied
“Don’t come back too late” her Mom said
“Okay” She replied
I greeted them too and we went out
🌀 Jade’s POV 🌀
We walked to the car and Ethan opened the door for me
I smiled and got into the car
He got into the car too and drove off
Is he really not going to say anything about my dress or how I look?
He’s just driving and he’s not even sparing me a glance and everywhere was silence
“I didn’t know that you knew how to drive” I said breaking the silence
“I learned it two years ago, when I worked part time in a cab business” he said, his eyes still on the road
Geez, why won’t he even look at for a second
I continued bringing up different discussions and he answered normally, still not looking at me
Soon, we were in the school and he packed the car
He came out of the car to open the door for me but I opened it myself before he could do it
The school was booming and we walked into it and he held my hand while we walked
I smiled but quickly changed my countenance, he still haven’t compliment me on my looks
We got into the ballroom and the place was already booming
Most of the people were dancing
“Seems like we are late” I said as I sat down on one of the empty round tables and he sat with me
We were both silent and I saw James dancing with Addy
There they are having fun but here, Ethan won’t even ask me for a dance
Minutes later the song changed to a nice slow song and the people on the dance floor started dancing according to the rhythm
I wish am there right now but Ethan won’t…
“Would like to dance?” Ethan suddenly asked cutting short my thoughts and bringing out a hand towards me
What took you so long
I smiled and took his hand and we went to the dance floor
I put my hand on his shoulder and he hesitated a bit before putting his arm round my wa-ist
We began to dance slowly and it felt nice
Ethan kept staring into my eyes and I was starting to get cold feets
“You look beautiful tonight Jade” he said and I smiled
“I thought you didn’t find me beautiful since you didn’t even spare me a glance on our way” I said with a pout
“Am sorry” he said “I was afraid I was gonna continue staring at you the moment I look at you and that wouldn’t be safe, it could get us into an accident” he said and I smiled again
“And there’s no day I’ve not found you beautiful Jade, well except for those times you used to bully me” he said and I laughed
“I didn’t find you beautiful at first but time passed and I was slowly getting closer to you, you began to look beautiful in my eyes, and my heart started to skip a beat whenever I see you smile. I wasn’t sure of what I was feeling, I thought my heart was playing tricks on me but that moment that I knew you were kidnapped, that thought that I might loose you, it sent a great pain right to my heart and I knew that I wouldn’t be the same if you aren’t here with me, it was then I knew that this is nothing but love, I love you Jade” he said and he k-ssed me
It feels like my heart is about to burst out of my chest right now
“I… I….. I…” I can’t even get the words out of my mouth and Ethan laughed
Is he seriously laughing at me right now
“This is the first time am seeing you stutter” he said
“This is also the first time you are telling me you love me so what were you expecting” I quickly retorted
“Are you angry?” He asked
“I don’t know” I replied and he smiled
He took his phone from his pocket and I heard a click sound
“Did you just snapped me?” I asked
“You look so beautiful that moment that I couldn’t stop myself” he said and I blushed
“I love you too Ethan” I said and he smiled
“So we are a couple now?” I asked and he nodded
Gosh, am so happy right now
We continued dancing and minutes later, the dance came to an end and it was time for the feast
Addy and James came to join us in the round table and we ate together
“You guys came late, Principal Cooper announced that the result of our exams will be pasted on the notice board tomorrow and the graduation will hold next tomorrow” Addy said
“So early?!” I said
“Apparently, there’s not much time again since they already wasted time waiting for us to recover before the prom will hold” James said
“I guess we’ll be coming to school tomorrow to check on the result then” Ethan said and we all agreed
We ate and talked and soon the prom came to an end
Ethan dropped me home and gave me a good night k-ss
Awwn, is this real?
Am so happy right now but the only thing am worried about is my result
For the first time in my life, I read really hærd for an exam, I hope the result will be good
🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇
🌀 Ethan’s POV 🌀
We walked into the school and we were all nervous
I always get cold feets before I see my result
James, Addy and Jade were with me
We met up at Addy’s place before coming to school
We walked towards the notice board and lots of people were there
“I can’t see it” James said turning his back on the notice “someone should check mine for me”
“I can’t see it either, check mine too” Jade said turning her back too
Addy smiled and looked at me
“I guess you can’t see it too” she said and I nodded
“Don’t worry, I’ll check for you guys” she said and shuffled through the crowd to see the result
We waited for a minute before she came back
“Who should I start with?” She asked
“I don’t know but just make me the last” Jade said
“Hey, I was gonna say that” James said
“I guess I’ll start with myself” Addy said
“I have an average grade point of 4.60” she said
“That’s great Addy” we all said
“Ethan” Immediately I heard her call, I took a deep breath
This is it
“You have an average grade point of 4.95 and that’s like the highest grade in the history of RHS” she said and my heart beamed with happiness
I did it
“Wow, you did great man” James said as he hugged me
Jade and Addy hugged me too
“Now James” Addy said
“Wait a minute, lemme take a deep breath” James said as he took a deep breath “okay, am ready to hear it”
“You got 4.50” Addy said
“Yes!!” He said bumping a fist in the air
“And Jade” Addy said “are you ready?”
Jade kept silent for some moments
Am also kinda curious and nervous to hear her grade too
“Yes” she finally said
“You got 4.10” Addy said
“Are you sure you checked well?” Jade asked
“Yeah” Addy replied
“I don’t believe it, I’ll check myself” she said and went off to check
Moments later she came back with tears on her eyes
“What was it?” I asked but she hugged me instead
“Before you came, my grades were always around 2.5, but I made it thanks to your tutoring lesson Ethan” she said as she hugged me
She finally disengaged from the hug
“I made it thanks to the group reading too” she said as she hugged James and Addy
“You worked hærd for it dear” Addy said
“And you deserve it too” James said
*****GRADUATION DAY*****
We were in dressed in our school uniform with black robes and we are seated in the graduation hall
The parents and families are here too
Dad, Josh and Sophie all came for me
The principal gave a wonderful speech and all clapped
“Did you hear a word of what he said?” James asked and I shook my head
“Me too” he said with a smile
“This is the best graduating set this school has ever had” the principal continued “They made us win the NMC for the first time ever and they’ve also created another record by getting the highest grade in the history of RHS” he said and everyone clapped
“So I’ll call on our valedictorian today, the student with the highest grade in the history of RHS to give us a short speech, Ethan Smith please come up stage” the principal said and everyone
“Go on” James said
“You can do it” Jade and Addy said
I took a deep breath, stood up and walked to the stage
You can do this Ethan
“Good morning everyone” I began “First of all, I’ll like to congratulate the graduating students, we are finally ending High school”
“Yeah” the students shouted
“Being a student of RHS was the best thing that ever happened to me, I made pretty great friends and also got bullied” I said and they laughed “I went through a lot here but I also made alot of wonderful memories and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without those experiences. My only regret is that I didn’t join RHS sooner” I said and paused a bit
“I’d like to thank my family, that’s my dad, my elder brother Josh and little sister Sophie, they’ve always supported me through out my life and I remain ever grateful. I’d also like to thank my friends, James, Addy and Jade, they were all with me through the turbulent moments of my life and they made RHS a place of good memories for me”
“The popular notation is work hærd if you want to succeed but my advice today is that if you really wanna succeed and excell, work hærd and also get a good friend, Thanks” I ended and they all stood up and clapped
I was about getting down the stage but the principal told me to wait
The clap died down and everyone was seated again
“As the norm of RHS, Ethan Smith will be sponsored by RHS to any college of his choice, congratulations Ethan” the principal said and the students clapped
He came up to me, put a medal on my neck and shook my hand
“Congratulations” he said again
“Thanks” I said
I walked back to my seat and sat down
“We are going to Harvard” James squealed and I smiled
The graduation ceremony ended and Dad, Josh and Sophie came up to me
“Congratulations Ethan” Sophie said as she hugged me
“Thanks Sophie”
“Congratulations little brother” Josh said
“Thanks” I said with a smile
“Congratulations Son, you’ve made me proud, you’ve all made me proud, wherever you Mom is, am sure she’s happy now” Dad said and hugged all three of us
We disengaged from the hug
“Go have fun with your friends” Dad said and I smiled
I walked up to my friends
“Guess what” James said
“What’s it?” I asked
“Dad just told me that Cole had been sentenced to 30 years imprisonment” Jade said
“Woah, that’s pretty long time” I said
“Are you kidding me, that guy shot me, he deserves life imprisonment” James said
“Do you actually pity him?” Addy asked
“No I don’t” I said
“So which college do you guys have in mind, Ethan and I have already decided on Harvard” James said
“My parents already registered me into the University of Massachusetts” Jade said
“Wow, that’s where am planning to go too, that school is great” Addy said
“Really, that’s amazing” Jade said
“I guess we all won’t be going to the same college then” I said
“It’s not big deal perhaps Harvard and University of Massachusetts are both in Boston” Addy said
“Yeah, so we’ll still be seeing each frequently” Jade said
“And even at that we’ll still remain close friends right?” James asked
“Yeah” we all said
James brought out his hand
“Friends forever” he said
“Friends forever” Jade said putting her hand on top of James’s
“Friends forever” Jade said as he also put her hand on top of Addy’s
“Friends forever” I said putting on my hands on top
