Days later...
Malisa and Franchine were discussing at the school canteen during free periods.
" So you began your training in the military at age 15? " Malisa asked, Franchine who was munching on some chips in front of her...
" No... 14. I graduated highschool at age fourteen so I enrolled into the military that year too.. "
" Wow. Really? "
" Yep. So I served there for like 7 years before then travelling to, Beijing where I practiced marital arts for 3 years before coming back earlier this year. "
" Oh my! So you are 24? " Malisa inquired with a shocked expression.
" Yep... Do I look that young? " She smiled...
" Of course you do. I thought you were nineteen or twenty... " Malisa said truthfully...
" Well... I guess I have got a nice body build then... "
" Yeah... So what's your plan now? "
" Nothing much... Just studying music as you. "
" You don't plan on getting married anytime soon? "
" Nope. "
" Why? " Malisa inquired.
" I have other priorities apart from that right now... "
" Okay... "
The duo ate quietly before, Franchine spoke up.
" So... What about you? "
" Me? What about me? "
" Do you have any other plans apart from studying right now? "
" Nah... " Malisa shook her head.
" By the way, What do you think of President Evans? "
" Why the sudden question? "
" Just curious... "
" Well... Aiden is kind, nice and caring... Yeah. He's also a very responsible brother... "
" Is that all? "
" Of course it is... What else could there be? "
" You sure it is? "
" Yup. "
" Have you ever thought of being romantically involved in him? "
Malisa choked on the water she was sipping when she heard that question...
She began coughing uncontrollably.
" Hey, hey... Relax. " Franchine said rubbing her back gently...
" Thanks... " Malisa said later when she felt better.
" I never thought you'd overreact that way. " Franchine said with a pout...
Malisa chuckled watching her cuteness... Perhaps it's because of how the free the latter was with her that she never thought the latter was really older than her... Like really...
" The question came so unexpectedly... You know... "
" Still I never thought you'll react that way. "
" Anyways... To answer your question. I might have thought of that before but I drove the thought of my mind before it gives birth to other different thoughts... " Her reply shocked, Francine indeed.
' cus who wouldn't want to become, President Evans wife?
" Why not? "
" There are made differences between us that I really don't think it'll be possible for us to be romantically involved with each other... "
" You think so? "
" Yep... "
" I have a feeling that you'll be swallowing your words soon... "
" Really? "
" Yeah... "
" Well... Let's just go with the flow... "
" Hm... "

Two months later...
Malisa was in the living room watching a movie with, Mary...
As it was a Sunday, she didn't go to college.
They were watching an high school movie titled, You are my sun...
It was a simple yet heartwarming movie of two highschool lovers who had to walk on thorns to be together....
There were just too many obstacles to them being together...
Yet, together they overcame it all...
Though there were times where they fought and had big arguments due to conspiracies set by other contenders who didn't want to see them together...
But all of this only made their relationship wax stronger.. as they got to understand one another more and even began to guess each other's thoughts just by staring at the other's eyes...
It was just too beautiful...
And on their graduation ceremony when they were asked why they were being so adamant about one another....
The girl replied... " Dave is like my shining star... My shining light... The moment I saw him for the very first time I knew that he's the one for me... and ever since then, going a day without him felt like a lifetime of suffering... He's my guardian angel... My life... My hopes... My dreams... As long as I am with him... I feel complete... Sometimes, I feel like a lifetime is too short for us. "
The spectators almost teared up hearing her words...
Then, the guy took the microphone and spoke...
" Ever thought how it will be like just staring at the sun... In all it's splendor. Crystal, You are my sun... I never thought I'll ever fall in love with anyone... But I did... Not only did I fall in love but I actually fell crazily in love with you. Sunshine... From the moment I saw you from afar... I felt that spark in me and I realize that you are the only one for me... I too feel like a lifetime is too short for both of us. Maybe seven lifetimes will do? "
The speech ended with the two lovers hugging one another tightly and even kissing...
They completely forgot about their surrounding as they were completely lost in their own world...
The audience who were stuffed with dog food couldn't help but blush...

" Aw... How sweet... " Mary swooned....
" Hm... Indeed... "
" Highschool love are always the most romantic... I wish ---- "
" Not until you turn eighteen... " Malisa and Aiden who was descending the staircase when he heard her words chorused.
" Jeez! Why do you too act like my parents! " Mary pouted...
" Well... We could adopt you and make you our daughter... " Aiden said casually making, Malisa and Mary pause to look at him...
Aiden simply took a seat on the couch and picked up a newspaper not giving an explanation for what he said...
Mary stared at Malisa with question in her eyes...
The latter on the other hand only blushed....
