Sealed With A Kiss

Prologue

Feeling the sun rays hitting my face I felt a grin slip onto my face. It was beautiful outside today. The sun was out, there's not a cloud in the sky, birds are chirping. Looking in between our rows I looked among my peers.

After today we wouldn't be seeing each other every day. After today we wouldn't be waking up every morning struggling to stay awake through home room. No more school lunches, no more high school drama.

Today that changes. Today I graduate and tomorrow I fly out to New York and settle in my new apartment. Everything is going as I have had it planned out for the past four years.

"Row four, please stand!" Hearing my class president Chelsea booming into the microphone I stood up with my row. Looking at my sister sitting next to me we held hands and walked to stand in line on the left side of the stage.

One by one Chelsea and our valedictorian, Christian, named off my peers who were in my row. Hearing my sisters name I pulled myself from my thoughts.

"Hannah Anne Hyde! Daughter of Nancy and Joshua Hyde. Hannah plans on attending Harvard Law in the fall in hopes of obtaining her Bachelor's and Masters. After college graduation Hannah plans on becoming a legal aid for juvenile delinquents in our system." Chelsea finishes Hannah's notecard and clapped with everyone else.

"That's my sister! You go sis!" I screamed and watched her look back at me over her shoulder. I cheered and clapped along with the crowd and smiled and she guided across the stage. I looked at my parents in the bleachers and smiled. They looked so proud of her.

Hannah is the only girl between the two of us. It's always been hard being a twin. With twins one twin is always a foot ahead and out of my sister and I? Hannah is the foot ahead.

Our whole life it's been Hannah. Student of the month, straight A's, all the boys' attention. She recites a speech every single year for our veterans assembly. She's got beautiful blonde hair that flows down her back. Her blue eyes pierce through your soul and her voice is almost angelic. I love my sister I really do but someti- hearing my name I pull myself out of my thoughts and hand Christian my notecard.

"Davina Rue Hyde. Daughter of Nancy and Joshua Hyde. Hannah plans on attending Fashion Institute of Technology to obtain her Bachelor's degree. After college graduation Davina is hoping to become a world famous designer in the fabulous fashion world." Christian finished with a grin and began clapping with the rest of the gym.

With a big grin on my face i strides across the stage stopping at the end for my parents to get their picture. Shaking my principle's hand I smiled for another picture that goes in the newspaper. With a final grin I send a wave to my mom and dad who can't stop their tears anymore. Standing beside my sister we locked our hands again and waited to be seated.

"Row four you may be seated, row five please stand and approach the stage!" Christian's voice boomed through our gym speakers and I tuned the rest of the ceremony out.

Watching the final row join us I couldn't hold back the grin creeping on my face. Throwing my sister a glance we both stood up with our class.

"Congratulations guys! We did it!" Our valedictorian rejoiced on stage. With a fling in the air I gave my cap a toss in the air and hugged my sister.

"We did it Hannah!"

"Davina you're going to New York tomorrow! Good luck sis! I love you!" Hannah got serious and held me and elbows length. With a teary looked she pulled me in for a tight hug, "Don't change too much okay. Please keep in contact, I love you so much Davina!" Hannah whispered into my hair and I felt myself hugging her tighter. I'm gonna miss my family so much but I'm too excited for New York!
