Chapter 262: CHAPTER 262

ARIA’S POV

The morning our results were released, I woke up with my heart already racing.

I had barely Slept because I kept thinking about whether I had done well enough.

Cassian was already awake beside me, Sitting quietly with his Phone in his hand.

He looked at me and gave me a Small Smile but I Could see the nervousness in his eyes too.

Neither of us wanted to admit how anxious we were about Checking our results.

After a exam, this moment felt incredibly important.

Cassian reached for my hand and gently Squeezed it.

“Let’s Check it together.”

He Said Calmly but he was slightly nervous.

I nodded and Pulled my Phone closer while he opened the School portal on his device too.

My fingers trembled as I entered my details, while Cassian did the same beside me.

For a few Seconds, neither of us Pressed the button.

Then we looked at each other.

“Ready?” he asked.

I took a deep breath and nodded.

“One, two, three.” I counted.

We both Pressed the button at the same time.

The Screens took a few Seconds to load and my heart Started pounding harder.

I looked at Cassian and he was Staring intensely at his Phone.

Then his eyes Suddenly widened.

I looked down at my own Screen and my breath immediately caught in my Chest.

My results were there.

I Slowly Scanned through the page.

Every Subject had a Passing grade beside it.

My hand immediately flew over my mouth as tears filled my eyes.

“I Passed,” I whispered, my voice trembling with emotion.

Cassian looked at me and the biggest Smile appeared on his face.

“You Passed, my love.”

I turned toward him and he immediately Pulled me into his arms.

I Started Crying against his Chest, overwhelmed by the relief rushing through me.

“I did it,” I whispered while gripping the back of his shirt.

He gently rubbed my back and kissed the top of my head.

“I'm so Proud of you.”

I Pulled away and wiped my tears as I looked at him.

Then I noticed that he hadn't told me his own result yet.

“Cassian,” I whispered.

He looked down at his Phone and a grin appeared across his face.

“I Passed too.”

He let out a quiet laugh.

I Stared at him for a Second before bursting into laughter.

“Gosh, I thought something was wrong, you scared me.”

He laughed heartily.

Cassian hugged me tightly, his face buried against my hair.

For a few Seconds, neither of us Said anything.

We Simply Stayed there, allowing ourselves to feel the weight of the moment.

All the stress, fear, Studying, and exhaustion had finally led us here.

I Slowly Pulled away and looked down at my Stomach.

My hand rested gently over my baby bump as a warm Smile spread across my face.

“Thanks for bearing with me through all of it.” I whispered to my baby.

Cassian placed his hand over mine and looked down at my Stomach too.

“Our little one was strong for every exam,” he Said with a Soft Smile.

I nodded, feeling another wave of emotion rise inside me.

Cassian Suddenly reached for his Phone and Started Calling Alex.

The moment Alex answered, Cassian immediately asked, “Did you Check your results?”

There was Silence for a few Seconds before Alex Suddenly shouted, “I Passed!”

Cassian laughed loudly and I Covered my mouth to keep myself from Crying again.

Then Alex Started asking about our results, and Cassian proudly told him we had both Passed too.

A few minutes later, Mila Called us.

“Please tell me you two have Checked your results!” She shouted.

I laughed. “We did.”

“And?” She asked impatiently.

“I Passed,” I replied.

Cassian leaned closer to the Phone and added, “I Passed too.”

There was Silence for two Seconds before Mila Started Screaming.

“I Passed too!”

I laughed so hard that tears rolled down my cheeks again.

Mila kept shouting about how we were finally finished with high School.

She said She had been Checking the portal every few minutes because She Couldn't wait any longer.

Cassian laughed while listening to her celebrate through the Phone.

My heart felt Completely light.

David Called us shortly afterward and announced that he had Passed too.

He laughed and Said he had expected to Pass but seeing the actual results still felt unreal.

By the afternoon, we had gathered together at School.

Mila ran toward me the moment She Saw me and pulled me into a hug.

“We actually Passed!” She shouted while Squeezing me tightly.

I laughed and hugged her back.

Alex and David joined us in School and Soon we were all celebrating together.

Cassian Stood beside me with a Proud Smile.

“We Started this journey together and now we're finishing it together.”

Cassian Said, looking at all of us.

Mila immediately raised her hand dramatically. “Mind you, we didn't start together… Aria and I met you guys halfway.”

Alex laughed. “That's true.”

David laughed too and Soon all of us were laughing.

I looked around at their happy faces and felt my Chest tighten with emotion.

These were the People who had Stayed beside me through some of the hardest moments of my life.

They had Seen me Cry, watched me struggle and helped me Stand back up.

Now they were Standing beside me while we celebrate one of the biggest achievements of our lives.

I suddenly felt overwhelmed and looked down to hide the tears forming in my eyes.

Cassian noticed immediately and gently lifted my Chin.

“Hey,” he whispered, “don't Cry.”

“I’m just happy,” I replied, laughing through my tears.

He Smiled and Carefully Pressed a kiss against my forehead.

“You deserve to be happy.”

Later that evening, we Started making plans for graduation.

Mila had already opened her Phone and was listing everything we needed to Prepare.

“We need outfits, Shoes, Pictures, decorations, and a graduation Party!” She announced.

Alex laughed and asked if She planned to organize the entire event herself.

“Obviously,” She replied with a Proud Smile.

David shook his head while Cassian laughed beside me.

I listened to them arguing over graduation plans while gently rubbing my Stomach.

The thought of Standing on that stage as a graduate made me so happy.

I had once thought my School journey would end quietly, without anything Special happening.

Instead, I was Pregnant, surrounded by People I loved and Preparing to begin a Completely new chapter.

My life had changed in ways I never Could have imagined.

That night, Cassian and I sat together looking at our results again.

He laughed when he noticed me Checking mine for the third time.

“You Still don't believe it, do you?” he asked.

I Smiled and shook my head.

“It just feels unreal… There was one subject I didn't do well, and it's surprising I got ‘B’ in it.”

He reached for my hand and gently Squeezed it.

“That’s all in the past, we're graduates now.”

I looked at him and smiled.

“Tomorrow, we Start Preparing for graduation.”

I rested my head against his shoulder and Smiled.
