of that horrible traffic. She stopped her car in front of her parents’ house and went straight inside.

The house looked empty but she still roamed inside. It's very unusual for their house to be empty. During this time of the year, it is very rare for her parents to travel. And her father is to lazy to go to his office that is why she doesn't understand why her parents are not here.

Chloe went upstairs to check the rooms, and just like earlier, there's no sign of her parents. Where could they be? She's losing her mind; she needs to see her parents and talk to them. While descending down the stairs, Chloe took out her phone and dialed her mother's number. It just kept on ringing but it was never answered. She dialed her father's phone and it's the same, no answer.

What is happening to them? She tried to call her father's assistant to see what her parents are up to lately. It took her a couple of seconds to hear someone on the other line.

"Hey, Mary Louise. This is Chloe, is my father in the office today? I want to talk to him but he's not home, can you tell him to answer my calls?" She getting anxious in every passing seconds. Why are her parents ignoring her? Is it because she chose her mom over them?

"I'm sorry Ms. King but your father left early today, he's with your mother. Mr. King never mentioned where they are going but I will pass him your message. Is there something else you want me to do?"

"No. Never mind, don't call him. I'll just wait for him here. Thank you." She hangs up and waited for her parents in the living room. Chloe is getting impatient. She's been sending them messages and trying to call them but she received nothing. Something is not right, it's very unusual for her parents not to reply to her messages nor ignore her calls. It's really weird and now she's getting nervous.

What if something bad happened to them? She doesn't want them to be in danger, but what if they are? This is what she's afraid of, her parents disowning her because she left them. Maybe they're just busy? Yes, they are just busy. She should not overthink things. It'll be bad for her mind.

She waited for her parents to arrive. Chloe is patiently waiting for them in the living room. But when the clock strike at six pm and the house is still empty, she started to lose hope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 30:

New chapter begins

Finally, her graduation day is here. Chloe is now readying herself for the program later. She's done with her hair and makeup and now it's time for her dress.

She'll be wearing a white knee length, off the shoulder lace dress. And on top of that is her red graduation gown. She's finally set to hit the stage later and rock the world tomorrow.

When she's satisfied on how she looks, Chloe went down the stairs and into the living room where her friends are waiting.

Half of them is wearing their graduation gowns while the other half are not, those are the people who will be left in the boarding house.

Luckily, all of their senior this year are going to graduate, unlike the past years where they are forced to repeat another year because of poor grades.

They all went out of the house and posed in front of the door. It'll be their last photo as a group and it has to be perfect. All of them find their spot and posed at the camera, courtesy of Shawn, who is a very good photographer.

First, he took a picture of all of the seniors then next all thirty of them. She still cannot believe that there are thirty of them. They are very crowded in front of the house, so they all went out and head straight to auditorium.

"Chloe, I can't believe we're finally graduating. Can you believe it? I mean wasn't it just yesterday when we enrolled for this school, then we auditioned, and that was like four years ago. What do you think will happened to us after this?"

Caroline clung her arms around hers and is feeling jittery. She cannot believe it as well. I felt like it all happened so fast.

"Nobody can tell what will happened in the future, Caroline. But one thing I'm sure for is whatever we do today affects it."

They walked towards the auditorium and opened the door. The moment they saw the place, they can't help but feel nervous and excited at the same time. "Well, me I still can't believe that we are the only one graduating college at the age of 21. By the way, have you seen your brother? He was not at the boarding house earlier."

"No. Did the professors already told him if he'll graduate this year? I've heard that they accepted his projects but I haven't heard the results from them. Maybe he will, just wait." Both of them separated ways as they need to seat alphabetically. She sat at the middle part of the hall while Caroline is almost at the back. Her seat is next to her brother so she will easily see if Jesse is already here.

He must be here. There is now way that their professors will fail Jesse, he did everything they asked him to do. The program already started and still, there is no sign of him.

Where is he? The principal went in front of the stage that made everybody silent. The program is starting, yet he's not yet here.

"Welcome everybody to this year's graduation ceremony. Today, we end a chapter, and open a new one. We get to see these children create wonderful story, and it's time to let them go to welcome
