part seventeen

p t 2

the more steps i took the more i realised, this is it. i'm about to graduate.., i finally got to the principal and hugged him just like everyone else. i could feel the tears start to come.
keep it in
then he handed me my certificate and took my hand and shook it
"well done" he said hugging me again.
why is this so hard. i'm literally getting a certificate..
i walked off stage and to my parents.
i hugged them
"omg we are so proud" my mum said
"thank you" i smiled
"omg you came" i said to my dad
(her dad travels a lot)
"wouldn't miss it for the world. didn't miss paytons didn't miss yours. i wouldn't forgive myself if i didn't come" he said kissing my head
"jade mathews" we heard the principal say.
i turned and watched her.
as she walked back down the steps of with her certificate in her hand i saw her parents walk forward
(her parents haven't really been in the picture for a long time so it was a little bit surprising)
i stepped even more forward to be infront of her parents.
jade came down and hugged me
"we did it. we've graduated!" she said
i hugged her tightly
"they're here.." i said
she knew exactly who i was talking about
"where" she said pulling away
"look behind me to the right" i said
her face dropped when she saw them.
she walked up to them.
"hey sweetie" her mom said
"congratulations" her dad said hugging her. she didn't hug back.
"thanks." she said and walked away
"i didn't want to create a scene. especially not here" she said i smiled and she walked over to payton.
i saw mateo standing up and walking towards our principal. i let him see his parents first. he walked down the steps and hugged his parents. i smiled at him. he didn't see but i didn't mind. his parents had to leave early. i hugged him tightly as he spun me around
"we've graduated!" mateo said putting my down and kissing me
"i don't know how to feel. we've graduated, we're engaged. life is moving fast." i said
"i'm just glad it's moving fast with you" mateo smiled
"cheesy" i said scrunching my nose and hugging him.
we took some pictures and then went to my house and hung out except from jade she went to talk to her parents she was going to meet us here later.
we watched a few old videos my mom made when we were younger. it got a little emotional. soon jade came and we ordered food.
the rest of the day we just chilled and mateo had to go home early since he had to be awake early the next day to go to the cabin.
"please. go to that party if you want. please don't not go because i'm not." he said hugging me
"okay okay. i'll go if i can be bothered" i smiled
he kissed my head and went to the car.
i waited for him to drive away before walking back inside. i went straight to bed since i wasn't really in the mood to stay up.
