About That Night...(#wattys2015)

Graduation Day

I look gorgeous. My "no makeup" makeup look was awesome. After 2 days of these disgusting twists, my hair was in beautiful waves. My dress was a silky, sequined blue dress that fell a little past my knees. My aunt gave me her black, spiked toe Lubutons with the vibrant red bottoms. "Hurry Child! Or we're gonna be late for YOUR graduation" my mom yelled from the hallway on her way downstairs. I got my gown from my closet and cap from my dresser and quickly tiptoed down the stairs. Everyone was in the car except for my mom. When she saw me come downstairs, she had a twinkle of proudness in her eye. I smiled and hugged her and grabbed my purse and rushed out. Once in the car, I tried to stay as far away as possible from JJ considering he's a dirt and stain magnet. "By the way mom, one of my friends invited me to their graduation party right after the ceremony. Can I go?" I asked my mom from the back row in the car. "If you walk across that stage today, which you WILL, then yes. You may go." She replied. I gently rolled my eyes and stared out the window.

"Todd Duncan" my principal announced. Then I saw Todd's slender body topped with perfectly sloppy blonde hair walk toward Principal Ward and receive his diploma. I was beginning to sweat and become anxious. I looked down the left side of my row, and saw Damon's body sitting there. He seemed to have immediately noticed I was looking at him and he turned to me and smiled sheepishly and gave me 2 thumbs up while mouthing the words "Good Luck. Love you." Oh crap. I completely forgot he caught feelings. I smiled back wide and turned around. WAS I GONNA PASS OUT FROM ANXIETY BEFORE THEY EVEN REACHED THE F's??? I glanced over to the students waiting to hear their name to be called and spotted Adrian's light skinned body. He was wearing the best dress shoes I've ever seen on a boy. And I got a small glimpse of his black collar underneath his gown. He noticed me looking and licked his lips then, subtly winked like he wasn't even trying. I couldn't help but smile. He saw me laugh and he couldn't help but let out a small chuckle himself. I looked away and next thing I knew, our row was standing up ready to be called up one by one on stage.

"Christopher Hunt". Oh boy. I was up next. I looked back at the audience and looked for Celeste. She nodded her head and said "You Got This." I took a deep breath..."Kierra Hutchinson". I walked to my principal at a moderate pace and shook hands with everybody. Step. Step. Step. St-slip. I slightly slipped on the last step down. Adrian caught my waist just as I was about to fall ALL the way down. He was trying to be polite but, I saw how bad he wanted to laugh. I smiled and went over to my family. JJ ran up to me first and quickly picked him up. I smiled at him, kissed him on the cheek and put him down. We all took pictures and proceeded to sit down. Briana and Celeste's row was being called up next. "Celeste Wilson" principal Ward called out. Her petite light skinned body casually walked across stage. I rushed to the side of the stage and waited for her to come down. I hugged her so tightly. She was a soft person so, she was on the verge of crying. We waited another 6 people for Briana's name to be called. When her name was called, she was so excited. I even heard her family cheering. Celeste and I both hugged her and let her go to her family. After one more speech, the ceremony was over. It was officially Party. Time.
