The morning sun gently streamed through the curtains, signaling the beginning of a new day. Lucy woke up with a mix of excitement and nostalgia, knowing that this day would mark the end of her journey at Carlton High. Today was the day of the farewell, and she was determined to make it memorable.

As she got out of bed, her gaze fell on the letter she had written the previous night. She smiled, realizing that it perfectly captured her feelings and gratitude toward her friends. With a sense of satisfaction, she carefully tucked the letter into an envelope and placed it in her bag, planning to give it to her friends later in the day.

After a quick shower, Lucy stood in front of her wardrobe, pondering what to wear for the farewell. Although she had found the perfect dress for the evening, she wanted to look her best during the day as well. After some consideration, she settled on a chic and comfortable outfit, a reflection of her unique style.

With her outfit chosen, she applied a touch of makeup and styled her hair with a hint of elegance. As she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement building inside her. Today would be a day of celebration and new beginnings.

At the designated time, Lucy met Alex outside the dormitory. He looked dapper in a well-tailored suit, and his warm smile made her heart skip a beat.

"You look stunning, Lucy," Alex complimented, offering his arm.

"Thank you, Alex," she replied with a smile, feeling her cheeks flush.

Together, they made their way toward the farewell hall, where Amelia and Max were waiting for them. The campus buzzed with activity as students prepared for the evening's festivities. Lucy spotted some familiar faces and exchanged greetings with fellow classmates.

Amelia and Max greeted them with excitement, and Lucy noticed that Amelia wore a dress that perfectly complemented her vibrant personality, while Max looked sharp in a stylish suit.

"You both look amazing!" Lucy exclaimed, hugging her friends.

"You do too, Lucy," Amelia replied, her eyes shining with pride. "Tonight is going to be fantastic!"

As they entered the farewell hall, Lucy was captivated by the transformation. The hall had been beautifully decorated with twinkling lights, elegant drapery, and floral arrangements that filled the air with a delightful fragrance.

The night promised to be a magical one, filled with music, dance, and heartfelt farewells. Lucy felt a bittersweet pang in her heart, knowing that this would be the last time they would all be together at Carlton High.

As the evening unfolded, Lucy danced with her friends, cherishing every moment. They laughed, reminisced about their adventures, and made new memories together. The energy in the hall was contagious, and Lucy felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and love.

At one point during the evening, Lucy took a moment to step outside onto the balcony, just as she had done on the night she found the mysterious letter. The stars twinkled above, reminding her of the infinite possibilities that lay ahead.

Alex followed her outside, a soft smile on his face. "Are you okay, Lucy?" he asked, concern in his eyes.

Lucy nodded, taking a deep breath. "I'm just feeling a mix of emotions, you know? Tonight is so beautiful, and I'm grateful for everything, but it's also hard to say goodbye."

Alex placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I understand, Lucy. Saying goodbye is never easy, but it's also a new beginning. Our paths may diverge, but the bond we share will always be there."

Lucy smiled, grateful for Alex's understanding and support. "You're right. I'm lucky to have friends like you who make every moment special."

They stood together, gazing at the stars, feeling the weight of their shared experiences and the excitement of the future.

As the night came to a close, Lucy found herself surrounded by her friends once more, holding them close and promising to stay in touch. The farewell had been everything she had hoped for and more, a night to remember forever.

As she bid her friends goodnight, she also gave them the letters she had written. Tears glistened in their eyes as they read her heartfelt words, and they embraced each other tightly, cherishing the moment.

As Lucy finally retired to her dormitory, she felt a sense of contentment and closure. The farewell had marked the end of one chapter in her life, but it was also the beginning of a new adventure.

As she lay in bed, she couldn't help but look up at the night sky once more.

The next morning, Lucy woke up feeling a mix of emotions. The farewell had been a night of joy and bittersweet farewells, and now it was time to say goodbye to Carlton High and her friends.

As she finished getting ready, there was a knock on her dormitory door. When she opened it, she was met with the warm smiles of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Miller. They were dressed in stunning outfits, a reflection of their stylish tastes.

"Good morning, sweetheart," Mrs. Miller said, pulling Lucy into a tight hug. "You look beautiful!"

"Morning, Mom," Lucy replied, returning the hug. "Thank you."

Mr. Miller smiled proudly at his daughter. "You made us proud, Lucy," he said. "We knew you would shine bright wherever you go."

Lucy blushed at her father's praise, feeling grateful for her parents' unwavering support.

As they made their way to the farewell hall, Lucy excitedly introduced her parents to Max, Alex, and Amelia. Each of her friends greeted them warmly, and Lucy could see her parents were impressed by the bond she had formed with them.

"Max, Alex, Amelia, these are my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Miller," Lucy said, a smile on her face. "And parents, this is Max, Alex, and Amelia, my dear friends from Carlton High."

"It's wonderful to meet you all," Mr. Miller said, extending his hand to shake theirs.

Amelia's eyes twinkled with enthusiasm. "Lucy has told us so much about you. It's a pleasure to finally meet the proud parents of our incredible friend."

Mrs. Miller smiled warmly. "Thank you for being there for Lucy. It's clear she's found a special group of friends."

Max, with his usual charm, added, "Lucy has been an amazing friend to all of us too. We're lucky to have her."

Alex nodded, his usually reserved demeanor softened by the occasion. "She's like family to us."

"I'm going to miss this place," Lucy said, wiping away a tear. "But I know that the memories we made here will stay with us forever."

"That's right, sweetheart," Mrs. Miller said, squeezing her daughter's hand. "But remember, the best is yet to come. Your future is bright, and we're so proud of the person you've become."

As Lucy and her parents drove away from Carlton High, they found themselves on a winding road that seemed to lead into a mysterious forest. The shadows of the trees danced in the moonlight, creating an atmosphere of enchantment and intrigue.

As they continued along the road, Lucy couldn't shake the feeling that something extraordinary was about to happen. It was as if the universe had more in store for her, and she was being drawn toward an unknown destination.

Suddenly, the sky above them took on an otherworldly glow, and Lucy's heart skipped a beat. There, amidst the stars, she saw the unmistakable figure of an Oracle. The Oracle's eyes sparkled with ancient wisdom as they met Lucy's, and a knowing smirk graced their lips.

"Look," Lucy whispered, her voice filled with awe, pointing to the sky.

Her parents gazed up and were equally amazed by the celestial sight. They couldn't believe what they were witnessing - an Oracle in the sky, holding a mysterious red moon in their hand.

As they drove further along the road, the Oracle seemed to follow them, a guiding presence in the night sky. The red moon in their hand shimmered with an ethereal light, casting an enchanting hue on the forest below.

"What does this mean?" Mr. Miller asked, his curiosity piqued.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling it's connected to something greater," Lucy replied, her mind racing with thoughts of the mysterious note she had received earlier.

The road led deeper into the forest, and eventually, Lucy's parents stopped the car near a clearing.

"Something is waiting for me it's no over."

Her parents exchanged a glance before nodding in understanding.

"I promise," Lucy replied, giving them both a hug. "I'll be fine. Thank you for understanding."
