ASHANTI'S POV.
"Mum... for the one millionth time today, I'm going yo be alright, i promise. Just promise me you'll visit often." I tell my mum in the most exasperated tone before she releases me from the hug she has been choked in. My eyes well up when I see the tears shimmering in hers.
These two years have been amazing and now that I'm about to leave her for a long time, it makes me sad, but I have to go.
"Take good care of yourself."
"I will miss you too. Take care." I peck her cheek and turn to Micahel who already has his arms stretched out for me. I rushed to them, letting him engulf me in a big bear hug.
"I'm going to miss you." He kisses my hair and the tears in my eyes break loose.
"I'm going to miss you too."
He pulls me out of his arms and looks at me.
"You make sure to give them your all, okay?"
I nod in tears.
"Okay."
"You are an amazing designer. I know you're going to win. All you have to do is work hard."
"Thank you very much Michael." He kisses my hair yet again before letting me go. I turn to Sheila who looks unbothered by all that's going on. "Goodbye Sheila." I say with a small smile before turning to get into the car.
"So I'm not important enough for you to hug me as well, am i?" Sheila lashes out and I chuckle hard. I turn to her, smiling from molar to molar and we both spread our arms wide and engage in a warm sisterly hug. "I'll come over to visit you every weekend."
"I'll be expecting you."
"I know you're going to win."
"Thank You Sheila." We bithe disengage from the hug. I'm still smiling widely as I look at my mum and Micahel whobare are smiling brightly at me. "Goodbye everyone."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Good bye sweetheart." That's mum.
I finally get into the car and meet Ryan who's already comfortably seated.
I envy his ability to always evade these lengthy goodbye hugs from the parents.

"You're not emotionless enough to adopt my ways."
"Indeed I'm not."
"Good."
"I'm happy you're coming with me."
He looks at me and smiles.
"Me too. I look forward to learning from the best."
"The best?"
"Yes. You are the best designer there is out there."
"Am I?"
"You don't know?"
"I don't."

"Okay." He simply says and puts on his headphones. That indicates the end of the conversation.
The ride continues in total silence and I keep smiling every now and then. I can't believe Ryan just called me the best designer. It feels surreal to hear those words from his mouth.
Alpha Reagan crossed my mind again and my smile widens. I can't I wait to see the look on his face
when he sees me again after all these years.
