*Nicole's POV*

-4 MONTHS LATER-

Today was the day I graduate.

Finally, after 12 years of pure educational hell, I'd be out of it.

I'd finally get to focus my entire life around my passion...

video games.

HAHA. That sounds really nerdy when I say that. But honestly, just creating content that makes people happy on a daily basis is the best thing I could ever ask for.

I stood in the mirror looking at myself in my red gown for graduation.

Hell, do I hate this gown.

I run my fingers through my slightly curled hair and touch up my makeup.

I hear the doorbell ring downstairs. My mom answers it with a huge "Hello!"

He's here.

I rush downstairs and I see the love of my life standing beside my mom.

I was only at the top of the steps, but I ran down them as if there was fire right behind me.

As I reach the bottom of the stairs, I jump into his arms.

Brayden.

We hadn't seen each other for a month. He was on vacation in Hawaii for 2 weeks and then went on a road trip with Ryan, Jordan, and Mitch.

We were finally reunited, and being in his arms never felt so good.

With my body all wrapped around him in the biggest hug I've ever given, he spins me around constantly.

"I missed you so much." He whispers into my ear.

"I love you so much." I say back.

We move into the dining room away from our parents.

He sets me down and we look into each others eyes.

Damn, those light brown eyes.

We slam our lips into each others, thankful for every second. I was tempted to scruff up his hair, but the thought of him walking up to graduation with messy hair stopped me.

We pulled away before our parents came into see us.

"Aw, the two lovebirds are reunited. Their love is so amazing." Brayden's mom says to my mom.

Brayden and I look at each other and smile. I grab his hand and we intertwine fingers.

"Let's get pictures!" My mom says grabbing the camera.

We walk outside and stand in front of the assortment of flowers my mom had planted 4 months ago.

Brayden's hand is on my waist and a smiled is planted on my face.

I love him so much.

After they take the first couple pictures, they take a break and let our smiling faces relax.

But I couldn't stop smiling.

I hug Brayden. I missed the way he would rest his head on mine when we hugged because I was short, I missed the way his hugs would always make me feel safe and at home, I just missed him.

I look up at him in our hug at kiss him.

"I got it!" I hear Brayden's mom shriek.

We both look over at our parents.

"We got some adorable pictures of you two, they'll definitely be going on Facebook later." My mom says.

Just then, a black car pulls up into our driveway.

And I see a person that means so much to me, and I haven't seen him in months.

Ryan.

As he gets out of his car, I start running to him.

I get to him and my body slams into him in a tight hug.

"Ryan!" I shriek.

"Nikky!" He says back.

"I've missed you so much you have no idea." I say as we release from our hug.

"I've missed you too, munchkin." He says pulling me into a side hug.

"Did you miss me?" I hear a familiar voice say. They came out of another car parked on the street.

And I thought my eyes were playing tricks.

Jordan!?

My jaw drops and it feels like I had been standing there for hours. But I ran up to him and pulled him into a huge hug.

"How?!" I say into his ear as I hug him.

"Don't worry about it, I had to be here for my best friends graduation." He says letting me go.

Instant memories of our accidential kiss float back into my min.

Stop Nicole.

"Okay, more pictures!" My mom says flocking us back like sheep.

First, a picture of Ryan, Brayden and I. I stand in the middle as my two favorite boys stand beside me.

"Beautiful. Now just Nic and Ryan." My mom says and Brayden steps to the side.

"I'm proud of you, Nic." Ryan says as he puts his hand around my waist for the picture.

"Great. Now Nic and Jordan." My mom says fixing her camera settings.

Jordan walks over and I can't help but smile. Who knew that this guy I met on the internet 4 years ago would be attending my graduation.

We stand side by side with Jordan's hand on my waist, posing for the picture. I probably have the cheesiest smile ever because my happiness was going through the roof.

"Fantastic. All the boys now!" Brayden's mom says using weird hand gestures.

3 of my most favorite people are all standing next to one another. My mom snaps the picture and then calls out for Ryan and Brayden.

As they were posing I couldn't help but take a picture on my phone and post it to Twitter.

@fxck.nicole:

#TheCampingDolphinAttendsGraduation (PICTURE THAT DOESN'T EXIST D: )

I post it and it gets immediate retweets and favorites.

"Group photo!" Our moms shout out.

We all get together and stand side by side.

I love these guys.
