The sun rose over the university campus, casting a warm glow over the bustling grounds as students prepared for their final day of classes. In Luna's small apartment, the morning light filtered through the curtains, gently awakening her from a peaceful slumber. As she stretched and yawned, she couldn't help but smile at the thought of the day ahead.

It had been eight weeks since Jeremy had asked her to be his girlfriend, and their relationship had flourished in the weeks that followed. Despite the challenges they had faced, their love had only grown stronger, binding them together in a bond that seemed unbreakable.

As Luna made her way to the university, her heart swelled with pride as she thought of Jeremy. Over the past month, he had been in recovery, slowly but steadily regaining his strength after his injury on the basketball court. With the help of physical therapy, he had grown accustomed to walking with and without crutches, his determination unwavering despite the obstacles in his path.

Arriving at the campus, Luna found Jeremy waiting for her near the entrance to the basketball arena. His smile was radiant as he greeted her, his eyes shining with excitement and anticipation.

"Hey, beautiful," he said, wrapping her in a warm embrace. "Can you believe it's the last day of classes?"

Luna returned his embrace, feeling a surge of happiness wash over her. "I know, it's crazy how fast time flies," she replied, her voice filled with joy.

Together, they made their way to Jeremy's final class of the day, their laughter echoing through the empty corridors. As they walked, Jeremy couldn't help but steal glances at Luna, marveling at the way her eyes sparkled in the morning light.

"Hey, Lu, there's something I wanted to talk to you about," Jeremy said, his tone serious as they approached the classroom door.

Jeremy looked up at him, her curiosity piqued. "What is it?" she asked, her brow furrowing in concern.

Taking a deep breath, Jeremy took her hand in his, his gaze unwavering. "The coach wants to talk to me after class about being a full-time assistant coach for the team after graduation," he explained, his voice tinged with excitement.

Luna's eyes widened in surprise, a smile spreading across her face. "Jeremy, that's amazing!" she exclaimed, squeezing his hand tightly. "I'm so proud of you!"

Jeremy grinned, his heart swelling with gratitude. "Thanks, Lu. I couldn't have done it without your support," he said, his voice filled with emotion.

As they entered the classroom, Luna felt a sense of anticipation building within her. She knew that Jeremy's future was bright, filled with endless possibilities and new beginnings. And as they took their seats, hand in hand, she couldn't help but feel grateful for the journey they had taken together, and the love that had guided them every step of the way.

As the final bell rang, signaling the end of the last class of the semester, Luna and Jeremy lingered in the hallway, savoring the moment. Graduation was just a few days away, and while the future was uncertain, they knew that as long as they had each other, they could weather any storm that came their way.

With hearts full of hope and dreams of tomorrow, they stepped out into the bright sunlight, ready to embrace whatever the future held in store for them. For Jeremy and Luna, the journey was just beginning, and they couldn't wait to see where life would take them next.
