FOR HIS LUNA epub vk download

Betty's POV. 

And lastly, the award for best graduating student is... Betty Daniels. The world stopped for a breathless second. Then the whole crowd applauded.

I felt my cheeks turn red from shyness and pride, a warmth I'd never known so deep.

 My classmates whistled, some clapped so hard their palms would surely sting tomorrow. From the corner of my eye. I spotted Claire, my best friend, jumping up and down on her feet, her voice loud in the midst of the crowd, "Go, Betty!"

As I stood, I felt my legs trembling as though the floor had softened beneath me.

I walked up to the stage to collect my award.

When the award touched my hands, it was heavier than I expected. I bit down on my lower lip to stop it from trembling.

The plaque shone in my hands, then the principal stepped aside, with a small hand gesture to say something on stage. 

My throat went dry for a moment, but I forced the words out.

"Thank you, Grandma. Thank you, Claire. I really appreciate you all".

The hall roared again, giving me applause as I went down from the podium. 

Then I saw Grandma standing, her eyes shining wet as the crowd stood behind her. She opened her arms before I even reached the floor.

The moment I fell into her warm embrace, the kind that said more than words ever could.

"My Betty," she whispered, voice cracking.

I closed my eyes to feel her.

Then, a familiar voice broke through, interrupting me and Grandma.

Betty!" she cried, practically jumping in her heels as she pulled my arm. "Enough hugging! There's an after-party, remember? You're the star tonight, and I am not letting you miss it!"

I laughed heartily, caught between Grandma's hold and Claire's pulling me away.

Claire, full of energy and excitement, had a grin that stretched from ear to ear.

Grandma let out a sigh, shaking her head with a smile. "Go on, but remember your curfew".

Claire gave me a playful wink, already pulling me toward the exit.

 "Come on, Best Graduate of the Year, let's party!

I followed her, my heart still beaming with Grandma's pride, but now with bubbling Claire's excitement. 

The afternoon party was filled with joy and laughter everywhere.
