Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 110

Katherine’s POV
Finally, the day was here! Empire High
School Valedictory Service held on the 27th
of July. Everyone seemed to be having a
great time. All my friends were all happy
about the party! I was unhappy because I
was leaving today.

And eversince dad broke the news to me, I
made sure that I spent each passing day
with Jeffrey. I visited his store up until
yesterday but I didn’t tell him I was leaving
thinking I would have the chance to explain
later.

The Guests present at the Valedictory
Service sat in Empire High School Grand
Hall. The Grand Hall was different from the
Hall which Elena, Temi and I had the
discussion about her finding her secret
admirer. It was the Mini Hall which was
beautifully decorated for EHS students to
have fun today without the presences of
Teachers or Parents. Special location for
Students Only!

We were all seated in the Mini Hall waiting
for the principal to call us into the Grand
Hall which was few block away from the
Mini hall.

“Its time!” Elena said from the entrance
We stood up and walked out of the Hall.
“You’re leaving right after the party?” Elena
whispered beside me. She was the only one
aware that I was leaving the country
tonight. I told her a week ago and pleaded
with her not to tell anyone about it. And
I’m glad she didn’t tell anybody..even Temi.

“Yes, probably before the party ends. My
flight leaves at nine tonight” I muttered
Everyone hurried to enter the Grand hall
except me and Elena. Though I didn’t see
Jeffrey go in with the rest of the team.
“I still insist you talk to Jeffrey about it”
she said squeezing my hands gently.
“I know but I’m not really big on
goodbyes” I admitted
I was already feeling a little lump in my
throat at the thought of saying goodbye to
Jeffrey.

I moistened my lips as Elena tucked a
strand of hair behind my ear.
“Why are you outside?”
I heard Jeffrey’s voice behind us. We both
turned to face him.

“We..we were just talking” I said
He had a plastic coke in his hand. Elena
excused herself and walked into the hall.
“I went to get Coke at the tuck shop” he
said
Jeffrey wore a beautiful Tailored Dark suit
just like the other boys. That was the dress
code for the male graduands. And for the
girls we were made to wear a Red dress
and Silver shoe. Luckily for me, I had one
floaty sleeveless Red Dress which mom
bought for me the last time she traveled to
Dubai.

“Having a good time” Jeffrey said casually
“Yes..And you?”
“Yes its a nice party and I can’t wait to spin
around the dance floor with you” he said
giving me the brightest of all smiles.
Even though I owe him an explanation, I
still managed to smile back at him.
“Would you like me to hold that for you?”
“What?”
He pointed to my hand. I looked down and
found my lipgloss in it.

Oh! I forgot to drop it in my bag after
Angella and Lizzy used it in the Mini Hall.
“That would be great..thanks”
I touched a little on my lips before
dropping it into Jeffrey’s hidden inside
pocket. He should hold it since my purse
was with Temi.
“I’ll retrieve it after the party”
“I’ll only trade it back in exchange for a
kiss” Jeffrey said lightly.
And I laughed softly.
