Graduation

                                    

                                          
The day had finally come, Yuri woke up that morning with a crazy mix of feelings.
                          
Achievement, excitement, nervousness, joy, but also sadness, nostalgia, fear, uneasiness.
                          
She knew that day would close a chapter in her to start a new one, but closing that part would also mean leaving some things behind she wouldn't want to leave.
                          
The literature club. Ever since she joined she felt she had found a place where she belonged, a place where she could be herself without being judged and enjoy one of the things she likes the most.
                          
Things happened there, many things.
                          
Monika and Sayori. When she first joined they were the only other two members, president and vice president, and they welcomed her with open arms.
                          
Monika encouraged her to stay and share what she could do. Poems, tea, her recommendations on books and so on. It was one of the few times she was motivated to do what she wanted.
                          
Sayori and her cheerful personality always made her feel welcomed there, even though she didn't really understand much about literature in general, she always would listen to you and try to get a little into what you showed her. In general, she was really open minded and Yuri appreciated that.
                          
However, a few months later, a new member joined. A pink haired girl with a feisty personality. 
                          
Yuri tried getting along with her at first but it didn't take long for her to see they were polar opposites, and that combined with the aggressive attitude of the younger girl was the perfect formula for disaster.
                          
Yuri and Natsuki would fight most of the time the crossed words. But Yuri never wanted that, she just wanted to get along but her poor social skills made it difficult for her to find the right way to do that and it would always end up with Natsuki taking her words as an offense.
                          
Things were rough at that time but she certainly never imagined the short pink haired girl would end up being the love of her life months later.

Yuri arrived at the school hall, where the principal would always conduct the addressing sessions regarding school stuff and such, and where Yuri also did something she never thought would ever be able to do.
                          
Yuri smiled remembering Natsuki's red face when she used the microphone to apologise to her and tell her that she loved her.
                          
"Yuri! Good morning!", a girl with a ponytail said breaking Yuri from her train of thought. "Good morning Monika", Yuri replied. "It's so rare to see you without Natsuki haha", Monika giggled. "She said she would meet me here because she needed to prepare something apparently, but honestly it is obvious she is planning to do something that will embarrass me and her, but that I will love regardless", Yuri giggled. "Haha, I can imagine", Monika chuckled.
                          
"Hey there hotties!", a twintailed girl said as she approached the two. "Good morning Erika", Yuri and Monika said. "It's finally the day, isn't it?", Erika said. "Yeah, honestly I wouldn't want to leave this school yet", Monika said with a nostalgic expression. "I know, you don't wanna leave your white haired gi-", Erika said. "It's not like that!", Monika interrupted her blushing madly.
                          
"Okay, okay!", Erika laughed and Yuri giggled. "Anyways you still can graduate without much regrets, you enjoyed your time here at it's fullest, unlike me", Erika said looking sad. "Why do you say that?", Yuri asked. "Cause I couldn't get a girlfriend! Yuri got her beloved pink babe and Monika you at least met Mayu but I got nothing", Erika sighed. "Umm, I am sure you will find someone eventually", Yuri said placing a hand on Erika's shoulder. "Well yeah, at least now I'm coming to college completely out of the closet haha!", Erika laughed, followed by the other two.
