Guitar Girl

Chapter 2: Graduation

We went to the cafeteria where everyone was getting ready to walk. It scary i was anxious. Then I realized I hadn't taken my anxiety pills and right when I knew it I was passed out on the floor I front of everyone even the new kid! What a great first impression... I have never been more embarrassed. I wake up seeing the new kid nealing down and looking at me while Alex was getting water."how many fingers am I holding up?", he asks. He holds up 3. "I'm not in idiot.",I say as I roll my eyes and sit up.

Alex ran to me with a water bottle in her hand. I drank some then went in line to walk down. As we were going down the field I look at all the parents holding signs for there kids. I started crying because I would have killed for my mom to see me right now. Then I see Alex's mom and dad holding a sign for her..they got one for me aswell. They have always been my second parents. I smiled and waved at them while I was wiping my tears. At the last minute they made me give a speech. As much as I was freaking out, I enjoyed I dont know talking to them? Well heres my speech.

"Hello every one. My name is y/n y/l/n. I honestly have nothing prepared so I will just speak from my heart. I didn't have the best childhood growing up. And school honestly didn't make it better. But when I was 5 my mom taught me to play the guitar. I haven't been happier since. You know I wish you could tell when your in the good old days,before your out of them. I used to watch TV a lot but I guess I wasn't interested so I picked up my moms old guitar,and I started writing and signing songs. I have bad anxiety so for me to able to speak without shaking or not being able to breath.. really is a dream. And congratulations to all my fellow classmates for welcoming me for graduation. I've never been at my school before. And right now its as if I've been here my whole life. Thank you."

I wave and walk off the stage back to my seat. More people gave speeches and then they announced to turn our tassel. We all turned it then threw our caps in the air, while fireworks went off. Then Alex told me she was throwing a graduation party for both of us. I opened my mouth as I was shocked because I've never been to a real high school party. Her parents took her home and I drove to my house to get ready for the party.
