Chapter 18 Graduation Day Part I (2/2)
Kay smacked Kyle on the arm, admonishing him, ”Behave, dear brother. They're always having to cover for you all these years, and this IS our final day here. Let our juniors have some sort of memory.”
”KAAAAAYYYYYY!!” shouted all three as turned towards her, ”You're the only one who understands us!!” shouted Xing Han dramatically, followed by Ali, who put his hand over his heart, saying ”Our angel!!”. Sam nodded, pushing his glasses up his nose while declaring, ”Saviour!!”
Upon hearing a growl coming from behind them, Xing Han quickly ran behind Kay and peeked from above her head, pointing a finger at Kyle, ”Protect us from that evil doer of handsomeness!!”
Kay laughed, the sound lifting everyone's spirit as they watched their angel approach her brother. Her steps were graceful, and fluid, like she was gliding on air. It was mesmerizing to watch.
As expected, Kay blossomed as she grew up. Both Kay and Kyle had hit puberty relatively early at 11 years old. Although that age was something that was increasingly becoming more common now in other countries, it was still considered early in their own.
Thus, most of the kids found it fascinating when Kyle's voice broke, occasionally sounding high pitched before it finally settled down to the current level. He lost the baby fat on his face, transforming the handsome, sharp jawlined cherubic face to the sharp, sculptured vision right now. He began to develop more muscles, and though not pronounced, it was still visible each time he carried something.
As for Kay, she found it more uncomfortable to have to go through the dreaded 'Auntie' every month, and having to wear a bra. As her chest started growing, she noticed the looks the boys gave her were more ... intense than usual. Luckily, she had at least one of her four guys around her most of the time, effectively deterring any random boy from approaching her. Her delicate beauty seemed to mature into of a more ethereal nature.
The scariest thing? They were still growing, which meant that their looks would only be getting better. Just the thought even made the teachers nearby sweat. Just thinking of them entering secondary school, with rampaging hormonal boys and easily distracted girls ... it was like throwing meat into a den of hungry lions. They were SO glad that they were primary school teachers!
”Come on, big brother,” Kay said sweetly, ”It's not like you're going to need the uniform anymore after this.”
Kyle flinched, ”You're not seriously suggesting I let myself be mobbed and molested by girls trying to get my buttons, do you?!”
”Nah,” replied Kay, ”Just throw the jacket to one side and run in the other direction.”
”You know, that's not a bad suggestion,” Kyle said, smiling.
Especially since he could outrun anyone ... and hide if he needed to. Master Shifu's training and lessons the past six years had honed his skills to a level that he never thought possible. Well, he dreamed of it but didn't think it was possible.
”Come on, it's time,” said Kay. ”Shall we?” she asked the group.
They stopped for a while, looking around them with a soft look in their eyes. The past six years had truly been fantastic. This was where they grew up, made lifelong friends ... and a few enemies ... basically, precious memories. Smiling wistfully, they smiled and nodded.
They then walked towards the Assembly Hall for the last time.
