Catch Me if You Can

"Mia, hurry up! Wind Chime is going to be packed if we don't start moving by now" Lily pushed Mia on the shoulder so she would answer her back or even move.

But all that came out from her mouth was "I'm not hungry Lily. Got without me"

Lily sat beside her friend and asked "What's wrong Mia. Ever since you gave that AMAZING speech a while ago, you just weren't yourself. Who did you call before the ceremony?"

Suddenly Lily backed off in fright when Mia jumped to her feet and exploded into tears. She yelled "Its Michael! Your brother Lily!"

Lily didn't know what to do so she just hugged her really tightly and when she finally let go she said "Whatever happened between you both, I'm so sorry Mia!"

"It's just that…" before Mia could finish her sentence she looked around and noticed that some people were looking weirdly at them.

So she grabbed Lily's arm and went to a peaceful corner where they could talk privately. Lily held her hand gently and looked deeply into her friend's glowing eyes while she said

"If you're not ready to tell me now. You can rest and we could talk about it later."

Mia whipped the tears from her eyes and said "No. It's okay." And she continued "Yes. I called Michael earlier and he said that he won't be coming because…because"

Mia couldn't continue, a couple of tears fell on her cheek. She looked at Lily expecting her to say some words which would make her feel better.

And what Lily said was "I'm sorry Mia! Are you sure you want to continue?'

At this hard time Mia needed someone to help her and listen to her problems, and most of all to cheer her up. And she's already found that person.

Lily.

Mia wiped the tears from her eyes; she smiled and said "No, its okay. I don't want to be unfair to him but CHAOTIC? It's just a…a…unreasonable reason!"

"Hahaha!" Lilly laughed really loud at what her friend said. It lasted for about thirty seconds before Mia could ask her "What? What's so funny?" She asked with a smile on her face.

"I'm sorry Mia, but your English!" she said in a way of a laugh. "Seriously? Unreasonable reason?" She laughed again but this time Mia joined in too.

They laughed for a short period of time, when suddenly Lily exclaimed "Oh My God! Michael over there!" she pointed to a guy who was walking towards the both of them saying "Mia? Lily? Are you guys there?"

"No! I'm NOT telling Michael…well, not yet! And YOU don't bring a single word about this! Okay?" Mia said in a panicky way to Lily

"Oh…Okay!" Lily answered

"Michael! We're over here!" Mia yelled as she waved her hand in the air.

After a few minutes, Michael reached them. He was gasping and tired, so he kneeled on the chair to rest.

But he managed to get some words out of him.

"I… (Gasp)….am (cough)…so (gasp)…sorry… (Gasp)...Mia!"

Mia and Lily just kept silent waiting for him to recover and when he finally did.

He looked back again at Mia and said "I'm really so sorry, Mia! I just couldn't get here in time, it wasn't really my fault"

"Hey! What about me?" Lily asked in a furious but joking way. He looked at her and apologized "You too Lily. Sorry."

Just as he was turning back to Mia, She started running away really fast.

For a moment there Lily AND Michael thought that the running away was because of her boyfriend not attending her Graduation.

But all of their thoughts changed when Mia looked back and yelled

"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, MICHAEL! I'M STILL WAITING FOR THAT KISS OF YOURS!" She laughed

Michael smiled and yelled back "OKAY MIA! BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO RUN FASTER THAN THAT!" Michael ran after her and they screamed from joy, laughed and kissed.

Mia just wanted to forget about the angriness that filled her earlier. She wanted to enjoy this special day with someone special like Michael. Just laughing and talking.

Carefree!
