Dear Daisy,
Today was the last day of high school…
It’s over. I can’t believe it. I actually made it. Everything feels so unreal. We have exams in a few weeks so it’s not like it’s the last time I’ll see everyone, but I won’t ever come back to learn and be taught by my teachers. It’s so strange to think about.
The morning started with us all having breakfast with the staff. It was very awkward at first. Everyone was sitting in silence because no one really knew what to say. That was until Mr Ruben loosened everyone up after telling one of his shitty jokes though. God, that's the last time I have to listen to one of them. Remember when we used to celebrate that fact?
Overall, the breakfast wasn’t bad. I was really surprised about what happened after though. Lee actually came up to me and asked to talk. I wanted to say no but some part of me decided to listen to him. Daffi was with me the entire time giving the dude a death glare. I felt a bit bad for him. Lee looked nervous and he kept playing with the bottom of his shirt the entire time. But he did something I didn’t expect. He apologised to me. He said he was sorry for everything he did. He said stuff about how he was pressured and how he shouldn’t have done that to me. I think I teared up a bit. I didn’t forgive him but thanked him for the apology. It was weird, to say the least.
After that, we had our school assembly where we showed off our dance. Hopefully no one was bored. I was so happy just dancing with my friends. We walked out and got to leave early for Val.
Daffi and I went home to put on our suits. Aunt Mel surprised us with them this morning; she hand-made both of them. Since the theme is daisies, she embroidered the flower on the cuffs of my blazer and the collar of my shirt. My blazer is made out of this shiny blue fabric. It’s amazing. I was really surprised by the quality because I had never seen Aunt Mel sew. But Daffi informed me that she's actually a seamstress, I've just never gone into her workroom. Daffi’s suit is off-white with these artistic daisies on the jacket, it makes him look… really good to say the least. He insisted that I style my hair but I failed multiple times so he ended up doing it for me. It was crazy how close he was to me. Have I ever mentioned how attractive he is? Brennan is so lucky I swear.
As well as suits his mom dropped off their car for us so we wouldn't have to use public transport. Aunt Mel is such an angel. Daffi and I were going to stop by my house but Mom wasn’t home as per usual. I wished she was… or even Dad. Yeah, he’s an ass but it would have been nice to see some sort of family. At least I have Daffi’s…
The venue was stupidly far away, like even from our school. I guess it was hard to find something nice within the area, it is Louston after all. I think it was the same place your Aunt had her reception. It was really similar to the photos you sent me.
The event was only two hours long. A lot of the girls wore dresses with white flowers on them. Then guys wore stuff similar to Daffi or just plain black suits, either way, it was nice. There was a small part of the speech dedicated to you and I nearly cried a second time. Luckily they sat Iris and Daffi at my table so they were there to comfort me. We got our certificates and even though you didn’t necessarily make it, they gave me yours and an extra jumper that every single person signed. There was a bit of dancing, talking and a lot of crying, from the girls and boys. I loved it all.
As you know, Daffi and I made a quick visit to your grave before heading to my parent's house. I put the jumper on your gravestone and I’ll get it back next week and mail it to your parents. Wanna know something? You had so many flowers at your grave, everything was so fresh as well. I guess other people also thought of you today.
High school’s finally over. It’s such a weird thing to think about. I never get to return as a student. Is it bad that I’m proud that I actually made it? I guess I would be in a very different situation if it weren’t for Daffi and everyone else. I think I’m excited to start the next part of my life with this though.
Love,
Kai
