53 College Reunion 3 (1/2)
The four of us were seating on a sofa lounge, chatting and laughing while drinking some alcohol and I was just drinking sparkling water.
”You really don't want any champagne?” Shawn whispered in my ear. His breath tickled me and I shivered a bit.
”No. I'm avoiding alcoholic drinks for now. The doctor also advised me.” I give him a polite smile.
”Your glass is almost empty. Let me get you and drink at the bar. Sparkling water right?” Shawn asked and I nodded. ”How bout you guys?”
”Get me a glass of whiskey bro.” Gerald asked.
”Another champagne for me.” Teena smiled.
Shawn walked towards the bar.
”There are really many people in our batch.” I said while looking around.
”Yes. Our university is top notch here at N city so many students really try to go there.” Gerald said. ”The tuition is expensive but many try to get scholarships to get in because once you are a graduate you are sure to land good jobs after.”
”Speaking of scholarship you were also a candidate for scholarship. You were on top when you graduated in your high school. But you turned it down saying other people who needs it most can have your spot. Because you can pay the tuition while others who are qualified but can't afford.” Teena said.
”Really?” I smiled with the thought. I remembered that I always do good in my studies just to please my father. To get his acknowledgement.
