To Be Different (RoyalChaos)

(Pt.4) We Graduated Today

     I stood beside the door people were being called out to. My last name being at the complete end of the alphabet meant I was basically the last person who would be called. Galm and pretty much everyone else in our crew was already called. Adam was just called, meaning they were half-way through the M's. No one else that I acually know is even here anymore.

     I let out a small sigh. In retrospect, I probably should have mentioned the whole collage thing to Chilled about two weeks ago on the 16th. Alongside that, I haven't even told him that I'm leaving in two days. I think I should stop thinking about this for now. It's almost my turn to go out there.

     I peeked through the large door-way. Damn, that place is huge! There was one of those jumbo-screens that were at hockey games and Bleachers on three sides. On the screen each time was a picture of the person who was just called. In the middle was where each of the graduates. I couldn't see Chilled past all the heads. I took a look around the room I was in once again. There was virtually no one here anymore. I freeze at the loud sound of the announcer saying my full name. It takes me about what feels like an hour to recollect myself and step out.

     I walk out, seeing parents and family all in the stands, some cheering, others tired from clapping this far into graduation. I briskly walk towards where the out students who were graduating were with my head mostly down. Thanks to watching everyone else prior, I know to go to the front and receive my final report card before taking a seat. Unfortuantly, we also are sitting alphabetically as well, meaning I can't even see Chilled from where I am. Reluctantly I take my seat. I hardly can even pay attention to my report card and this cheap towel with the school logo on it. I was too busy thinking about Chilled to even focus on anything else.

     Several people were going up to speak. From the guest speakers, to the school staff, my reaction was basically the same. I was waiting for the conclusion. I only payed a bit of attention to Minx, who had to speak. Because her grades were the highest, she had to give a speech about her 'high school expirience.' Luckily for us, this was Minx we're talking about, meaning she was extreamly blunt about it. According to her, it was mostly complete and utter shit, but I suppose thats what the schoolboard gets for making someone like Minx give an honest speech. I drift my focus away from the speeches and recenter them to looking for Chilled.

     After a seemingly endless half hour, I think everythings finally wrapping up. The principal continues to use phrases like 'in conclusion' or 'finally.' I truely just want to find Chilled. 

     Everyone begins standing up to leave. I, not knowing where to go, follow the crowd. We all exit, into the warmth of the soon to be summer night. A somewhat sarcasic idea of where Chilled would be popped into to my mind. The Parking Lot? Considering it was the best I had, I rushed over past to the parking lot.

     I looked around, swinging my head from side to side in each direction. I don't think he's-

     "Steven?" I heard called from behind, causing me to jump. I turned around to see Chilled only a few steps away.

     "Oh god!" I exclaimed from sheer shock. "You scared me."

     "I noticed." Chilled acknowledged. After that we both already had the same thing in mind to discuss. "So you're moving to California?"

    "Yeah I am and I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, but I kind freaked out about when I first found out and didn't really know exactly when I should say it and-" I spoke far too quickly with too little breathing in between before Chilled cut me off.

     "Damn Steven, Breath!" Chilled smiled with a chuckle on the side. "Because I want to say something as well. I have a little secret." He said quieter. He came a bit closer.

    "I kinda already knew."
