Clark is smiling all by himself as he enters his bedroom. Emilia has sent her a message a while ago, asking him to have lunch somewhere tomorrow, and she wished him goodnight.
His injured nose seems to be a blessing in disguise because Emilia became even more concerned towards him.
He dreamily stared at ceiling, while grinning from ear-to-ear.
"Maybe there's a chance for use to become more than classmates and friends?" Clark smilingly wonders to himself... 
=============================
Month quickly passes by.
Clark and Emilia are currently at their pre-graduation party at the indoor basketball court inside Palmridge High. 
They are going to officially graduate from secondary school, and their graduation ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow.
All of the graduating students are having a good time at the party.
Some of them are dancing, enjoying the food and drinks at the party venue.
Emilia is also enjoying the party, while feeling nostalgic as well. She spent many years studying with her fellow schoolmates. There were good times and bad times. They made her realize that it wouldn't hurt to open up her heart to other people. She might not say it verbally, but she's sure she's going miss all of them.
She snaps out from her reverie when she heard a familiar voice calling behind her. 
"Hi, Emilia!"
Emilia instantly smile when she saw Clark.
"Hey, congratulations to you, Mr. Valedictorian! And please don't forget to mention my name in your graduation speech, okay?" she jokingly told him.
Clark lets out a shy smile after hearing Emilia's teasing remark.
"You also did great for so many years at Palmridge, Emilia. We're all going to graduate, and no one's left behind so, congratulations to all of us!" he relayed, while being modest. 
"Well, you're right. It wasn't easy, but we all did it!" Emilia smiles in return.
"And since we're about to graduate, I was actually thinking if we could go on a date---!" Clark wasn't able to finish his sentence when one girl from their section suddenly approached him.
"Hey, Clark! Let's dance!" she invited him. invited him.
Clark was about to decline the invitation, but before he could say anything else, the girl started pulling him to the dancefloor.
He didn't have a choice but to go with the flow, as he doesn't want to embarrass the girl.
"Go and have fun, Clark!" Emilia encouraged him.
She watches Clark dancing with the girl at the dance floor... But surprisingly, she can't stop herself but to feel irritated by the sight of him dancing with other girl.
"---What's with the long face, Emilia?"
Emilia lets out a polite and civil smile when she saw Brent standing beside her. One month before they prepare for their pre-graduation activities, she and Brent had a heart-to-heart talk. They talked about their relationship, they talk what went wrong and what happened to them. In the end, they were able to finally accept the fact that they can't be more than friends, and they should just be civil with each other...
"Oh, nothing. I guess I'm just a bit tired with all of the preparation for our graduation." she answered. 
"Oh, wow, just look at Clark! He's obviously having a good time dancing with another girl." Brent observed, while watching Clark.
"And what's wrong with him enjoying the party?" Emilia shot back at him.
"Wait a minute, could you smell something strange?" Brent suddenly asked.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Kara curiously asked, while frowning.
"I can smell something from you, and it's the smell of jealousy..." Brent replied as he started chuckling.
"That's hilarious, Brent. Nice try." Emilia sarcastically commented. 
"Come on, don't try to hide it. It's obvious that you're getting all jealous, Emilia. Why don't you ask him to dance with you instead?" Brent have Emilia a piece of advice.
"Sorry, but I don't have any plans to do that." Emilia defensively pronounced.
She can't really admit it straight to Brent's face, but yes, she's turning into a green-eyed monster because of jealousy.
No one knows this yet, not even her sisters Emilie and Emma, and not even her close friends, Andrew and Jayden.
She can't still admit to them that she has been inlove with Clark for so many months now! 
============================
The students are all preparing for their graduation ceremony for tomorrow.
"Are you excited for tomorrow?" Clark suddenly asks, while they are having one last walking tour around Palmridge Campus
"Absolutely yes! We're finally ending a chapter in our lives, and we're going to start a new one!" Emilia excitedly exclaimed. 
"By the way, I have a surprise for you tomorrow, so be ready for it." Clark mysteriously announces, while staring at her.
"Oh, I love surprises! I promise, whatever your surprise is, I'll be ready for it!" Emilia promised towards Clark.
"I'm glad to hear that." Clark nodded in return, as he is also excited for his graduation surprise tomorrow... 
===========================
The next day...
The Graduation at Palmridge High is in full swing, and now he is doing his Valedictory Speech.
"-----On my last year in high school, I never thought that I am going to meet someone who will become my inspiration, my happiness, and my first love. And it is none other than Miss Emilia Albreicht..." Clark started executing his plan.
Emilia blushes furiously after hearing those words from Clark. She never expected him to do a love confession on their graduation ceremony.
"Looks like someone's going get himself a boyfriend today..." Emilie teases her, who's also graduating with her.
"Wow, this is so romantic, my dear sister!" Emma excitedly spoke as well.
"---Dear fellow graduates, let me take this chance to finally say what I really feel for this special girl... Emilia Albreicht, would you be my girlfriend?" Clark finally and officially confessed to Emilia.
"SAY YES! SAY YES! SAY YES!" all of the graduated chanted in return, showing their support towards Clark.
Emilia immediately stood up, and shouted at the to of her lungs....
"Yes, I would love to be your girlfriend!" she finally answers.
All of the crowd cheered and clapped at the same time, as they are all happy with the result.
At the same time, Clark and Emilia exchanged loving glances, amidst the cheering crowd of people...
