"Katarina and Ivan's graduation, i'm both happy and sad about that" thought Andrej while getting dressed up in an elegant suit.
"Idiot, please don't be late this time" said Anya, who was preparing a bouquet of flowers for Ivan.
"The time has come for me to salute the achievements of my friends, in hope that we will see eachother again" Mateja said while walking past Andrej in a hurry.
"Everybody is so excited, i should get a bouquet for Katarina too" said Andrej, and he went outside to pick some flowers for the bouquet. The preparations for the ceremony were going full speed, from cleaning the backyard and setting up a small stage, to preparing awards and exhibits. Andrej went to the nearest field to pick some flowers, but he couldn't decide which ones to pick, so he picked multiple different kinds, then he quickly went back to the room, and set the bouquet on the table.
"Wow, it's so pretty" said Anya and Mateja in awe.
"Thanks"
"Where did you find these flowers, they are all beautiful?" asked Anya.
"On a field nearby" answered Andrej, and at that moment, Katarina and Ivan entered the room, both dressed in elegant clothes.
"Hello my friends" said Ivan, who went to speak with Anya.
"Hello Andrej" said Katarina.
"Hello, you look beautiful in that dress" complimented Andrej.
"Thank you!"
"I can't wait to see you tonight" added Andrej.
"Yeah, what will we do after the ceremony?" asked Katarina.
"I don't know, but it will be something unforgettable" said Andrej.
"And nobody will come for that" added Ivan.
"Shut up, we need to prepare, let's go" said Katarina and grabbed Ivan's hand, then she led him out of the room.
"Hey Andrej, can i ask you for a favor?" said Mateja.

"What is it?"
"You know Viktorina from the class next to us? I want to give her a gift"
"Now that i think about it, i saw him with her a lot"
"I will give her a rare flower, which blooms only in the ruins" said Mateja.
"How will we get there?" asked Andrej.
"We will quickly go, pick the flower, and leave" answered Mateja.
"Okay, let's go"
"Take your flowers with you, because we will finish when the ceremony starts"
Andrej picked up his sword in the case of battle, and the two of them went towards the ruins.
"Ah, finally i will have a girlfriend, then i can be better than the knight" said Mateja.
"I hope that she won't just reject you" said Andrej, while reminiscing of his previous life.
"Do not worry partner, look we have arrived" announced Mateja, in front of them were the grand ruins of the Saint Nikolavljev castle at the foot of mount Urbus, it was said that many magical beasts inhabited the ruins, also a rare kind of flower grew, the one which Mateja was searching for now, it was said that the flower only grows in the northeast sunlight, so Andrej and Mateja went in that direction, and then after about forty minutes of searching, they found it, a glowing orange flower, which looked like a lily of the valley, Mateja went to pick the flower, when from a nearby bush something could be heard, Mateja and Andrej prepared for combat, but it was just a rabbit.
"Whew, it's just a rabbit" said Mateja.
Then, a gigantic three headed wolf jumped out of the forest, it looked like a cerberus.
"You just had to jinx it idiot?" said Andrej.
"Shit, what will we do now?" panicked Mateja.

"I will fight with it, you just go and grab that flower!" shouted Andrej.
"Yes!"
Andrej then started fighting with the beast, it breathed a fireball from one of it's heads, which Andrej managed to dodge, before cutting all three of it's heads with one slash, but it regenerated them quickly, then it breathed more fireballs, which Andrej all dodged, before slashing it's middle head off with a slash.
"I got it!" shouted Mateja.
"Now we run away!" shouted Andrej back, and they started running away from the beast, after another thirty minutes they managed to escape from the ruins, but when they got out, they saw that the sun already set, which meant only one thing.
"Shit, we are late!"
Back at the school, twenty minutes after Andrej and Mateja left…
The sun started setting, and the ceremony was almost starting, but Andrej and Mateja were not there.
"Geez, where are those idiots!" said Anya angrily.
Then, the ceremony started, Katarina looked around for Andrej, but she couldn't find him anywhere, which made her sad inside, the ceremony went on and on, and there was no sign of Andrej, and Katarina was now visibly sad.
"Now, the award for the best student of this generation, Katarina Gavrilova" the crowd loudly cheered, Katarina just went on the stage, took the award, and retreated back to her seat, not saying a single word.
Just then, Andrej and Mateja made it back to school.
"Okay, i'm going to find Katarina, good luck" said Andrej.
"Same to you" replied Mateja.
Then they split up, Mateja saw his girl Viktorina, who was flirting with Igor Ilić, one of the more popular students of the school, that made his heart break.
"Oh, it's you, put that flower over there and get out of my sight" Viktorina coldly said.
"But…"
"Get out of my sight"
Mateja put the flower on a nearby table and left quietly, then he bumped into Ivan.
"Hey what happened buddy?" asked Ivan, Mateja pointed to the table where his flower rested, and Ivan quickly figured out what was going on.
"Just ignore those morons, let's go get something to drink" said Ivan, and the two of them went to have a drink.
Meanwhile Andrej found Katarina on one of the back seats, away from all the people, quietly crying to herself.
"Hey Katarina" Andrej said, and Katarina looked up "Here, for you" Andrej continued as he gave her his bouquet "Sorry i couldn't keep our promise, i am an idiot, aren't i?"
Then Katarina slapped him on the face, before pulling him into a hug.
"Don't say such things about yourself ever again, you are the best person i know" she said, then she pulled him out of the hug, and took the bouquet from his hand.
"Wow, these flowers are pretty"
"Thanks, say, would you like to dance with me?" Andrej asked.
"You don't need to ask" Katarina took his hand, and they started dancing and having the time of their lives together.
