As the children's chorus gradually became lower, the music slowly slipped to the end, and then there was a warm applause from the audience. All the parents stood up and cheered for their children.
Although Jessica also clapped her hands, she felt a little disappointed in her heart. She would not have a graduation ceremony at St. John's Elementary School, but thinking about her going to acting school after the summer vacation made her feel a sense of joy. As long as you work hard, you will always catch up with Angela!
"Hey, Jesse!" Angela, who got off the stage, hugged her parents and went straight to her.
The two girls smiled and hugged.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Angela said to her with a smile.
"How come, I didn't attend the graduation ceremony, can't I just come and feel the atmosphere?" Jessica deliberately flattened her mouth.
"Yes, yes, my poor little Jessica is going to the acting school soon. I don't know how long the graduation ceremony will be postponed. It's so pitiful, come and let me hug and comfort me." Angela expressed sympathy Tsk tsk said, and took Jessica into his arms again.
"God, you are murdering!" Jessica, who was pressed into her arms, slammed Angela with her small fist, but the other party just giggled and let go after a long while.
"Angie, why have you become a little weird recently." Jessica asked suddenly, frowning and straightening her messed up hair.
"Are you saying that I am often absent-minded and distracted like before?" Angela asked rhetorically.
"No, I just feel...I can't describe that feeling..." Jessica shrugged.
"Then do you think I shouldn't have these changes?" Angela asked nervously suddenly.
"No, I'm just curious." Jessica said, her face blushing quickly. Although she didn't know what Angela had changed, she subconsciously liked the change.
Angela seemed to be relieved and smiled softly: "Jesse, people always change, I will change and you will also change. Maybe you may have some small changes in the next few days next year."
After a while, she suddenly grabbed her hands, looked her in the eyes and said, "But no matter what I become, I hope you don't hate me, I don't want to lose you, Jessie!"
Looking at the pair of eyes that looked like emeralds, Jessica's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and a pair of pictures from the past few years suddenly flashed in her mind:
One pulled her up from the bench: "Hey, why are you sitting here alone, let's play together, my name is Angela, how about you?"
Help her rub her bare feet: "You need to exercise more, Jessie, life is movement, and proper exercise is good for health, so you don't get sick or injured."
At summer camp: "Come on, Jesse! You can do it, hold on, you'll win!"
When telling her about her dream: "I believe you will become an excellent actor in the future, and then I will write the script for you, free of charge."
Jessica's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Angela was about to graduate, and she was going to acting school, which meant that the life of sticky beans like before would no longer exist.
She suddenly opened her arms and hugged Angela again, put her head on the other's shoulder, and murmured with her eyes closed: "I won't hate you, Angie, you are my best friend, I swear, no matter what Whatever you have become, I will not hate you."
Angela was slightly stunned, and then hugged again, without saying a word, the two girls hugged close together again, as if nothing could separate them, until Mr. Jared's voice rang beside him : "Well, although you are in a good relationship, I have to remind you that the principal has announced that you can go outside to attend the graduation party."
The two separated as if they had woken up from a dream, looked at each other, their faces were flushed, they both laughed, and then ran out together.
"By the way, where is Mr. Alba?" Angela, who was running, noticed that Jessica's father was not in the auditorium.
"He's outside, it's not my graduation ceremony today, so he doesn't plan to come in." Jessica sighed, stopped and turned her head to look at Angela: "To be honest, you only think of him now, It really makes me sad."
"Okay, okay, I apologize to you, is this the head office?" Angela also stopped and said with a look of grievance, then rolled her eyes: "Jesse, come to my house later Are you going to go?"
"To your house?"
"Yes." Angela replied simply, looking at Jessica with her hands behind her back, but Jessica didn't think much, nodded and agreed: "Okay."
"Angie, which middle school are you going to?" Jessica asked boredly, playing with the pencils on the table.
"Naskoma Girls' Private High School, originally I wanted to continue to go to a public high school, but my mother wouldn't allow it. My father also said that going to a public school is fine, but since middle school, I can't object. I even choose my own. No school—Dad wanted me to go to Barrick Private High School, and finally I couldn’t threaten to run away from home, so I went to Naskoma Girls Private High School,” Angela said, peering from behind the drawing board. Out of his head, "Honey, please keep your posture for ten more minutes?"
"You told me to hold it for ten minutes at the beginning, but after ten minutes you told me to hold it for ten minutes, and ten minutes later, it's almost half an hour." Jessica sat down in dissatisfaction and hugged her arms. arm.
"Well, this is the last ten minutes, I promise, I'm not a master, I can remember what I want to draw at a glance." Angela said with her tongue out.
"So, why choose a girls' private high school?" Jessica had to go back to the original question.
"Why can't I choose a girls' private high school?" Although Angela was asking rhetorically, she never stopped painting.
"I mean, Nasquema and Barkley are both private high schools, so there shouldn't be any difference, right?"
"You know so well?"
"I... ugh..." Jessica rolled her eyes, obviously Angela didn't want to talk about it.
It seems that she is a little unhappy about this. Is it because she has graduated and has to leave the environment she is familiar with? But judging from Angela's excited performance at the graduation party, it doesn't look like it, so why
Just when Jessica was thinking about it, Angela finally dropped the brush and let out a long sigh of relief, jumped up and shouted, "YES, the masterpiece is complete!"
Jessica, who had recovered, could finally get up from the chair, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried over: "Let me see! Let me see!"
The painting is very beautiful. Angela drew it directly with colored pencils, mainly in warm colors. The little girl in the painting, lying lazily on the table under the summer sunset, looks peaceful and sweet, but...
"The lines seem to be a little messy." Jessica opened her eyes wide and wanted to get closer.
But Angela immediately pulled her to the bedside: "Stay away, sit here and watch. Colored pencils are not as easy to erase as charcoal pens. If you make mistakes, you can only draw a few more strokes to cover up."
Pulling away a little distance, the originally vague picture really became clear. The girl in the painting, Yue, and Jessica were eight-point similar, and Jessica couldn't help but exclaim: "It's beautiful!"
"Of course, that's what I drew!" Angela said triumphantly, and after another long sigh of relief, she fell on her back on the bed.
"Is this for me?" Jessica asked suddenly.
"For you? No, I want to keep it." Angela rolled over and climbed on the bed, looking at the painting on the drawing board, and said with certainty.
After a pause, she said softly again: "Jesse, I'm going to middle school, you're going to acting school, we're going to go to a new environment, although we'll see each other often in the future, but I want to sit together again. School bus, it's impossible to run around the school again, so I want to keep you here, where I can see you every day, so that I can greet you every morning when I wake up."
Jessica looked at the painting and didn't turn her head, but her heart jumped again. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but there was always something in her heart, joy? Excited? then what
At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind and hugged her gently. Angela on the bed knelt behind her and pressed her back tightly, and then placed her head lightly on her shoulders.
Jessica lightly grabbed her hand without any extra movement, and just leaned on Angela's body like that. The throbbing heart seemed to calm down slowly. If she kept leaning on Angela's body like this, it would be very uncomfortable. Are you comfortable
"Jesse, will you stay at my house tonight? Let's sleep together." He whispered in his ear with a seductive voice. Jessica's breathing suddenly became rapid, her eyes began to wander, and the little earlobe cooled, as if Being bitten gently, his body couldn't help but feel a little soft.
She raised her head slightly to say something, but just turned her head around, and a mouth had already kissed her red lips.
