Makayla's POV:
"We have all worked so hard to be where we are today. We have struggled and suffered but we finally made it.
Let us remember the friends that we have made, and the lessons that we have learned, both in and out of the class room.
As this chapter of our lives come to a close, let us all go and do great things. Let's flip the page and start new chapters better then the last. We did it!" Everyone cheered as we tossed our caps into the air.
We finally left after the hour long ceremony. After four years of hard work all we get is a diploma, some cute pictures and the quadratic formula.
"You did amazing" I heard as strong arms wrapped around my waist. I looked up to find Atlas smiling down at me.
"Really, you don't think it was to corny" I asked him.
"No, I think it was just the right amount of corny" he said before placing a kiss on my forehead.
"And how cool is it that my girlfriend is the valedictorian" he smiled as I turned around to face him.
"It's pretty cool" I told him, before giving him a proper kiss.
"I told you we would find them together" Sofe said from somewhere behind me. I broke away from the kiss and turned around.
"Hey guys" I smiled at my group of friends.
"Your speech was amazing" Lilly said giving me a hug.
"Yea Mak, real heck of a speech" Sofe said giving me a hug as well.
"What are the two of you talking about, my speech was corny as heck. Y'all had the better speeches" I replied.
"Yea Sofe, I really loved the part where you said 'spread your wings and fly you little ladybugs'. It truly inspired me" Atlas laughed.
"We'll I felt like saying spread your wings little butterflies was a little too on the nose ya know" she laughed.
"What else would we expect from out class president" I sighed shaking my head.
"At least our salutatorian had a good speech" Sofe shrugged. Lilly just blushed at the compliment.
"Your speech was fantastic" Thomas whispered to Lilly. He had an arm wrapped around her waist and a goofy smirk on his face.
Lilly's blush grew and so did Thomas's smirk. Thomas gave Lilly a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Aww you two are cuter then a fluffy baby chick on Easter morning" Missy said appearing out of no where giving Sofe a hug.
Let me introduce you to Missy really quick. Half way into our sophomore year Missy moved here from Georgia.
Her parents got a good job offer and moved down here. Missy wasn't very thrilled about the move. She loved her life back home on her ranch and a lot of her family was still down there.
Thanks to Sofe being a social butterfly, we became friends with her pretty quickly. She super sweet and her strange country sayings always make us laugh.
Sofe and Missy grew really close. Over the summer. They where practically inseparable. The last day of summer we all hung out and that's when Sofe told us that she was Bi and that her and Missy where Dating.
We where all so happy, especially because that meant that we where all dating someone. Thomas and Lilly started dating the end of Freashmen year.
Me and Atlas got together mid way through sophomore year. It took a lot of convincing and puppy dog eyes to convince my brothers to let me date Atlas. Even with that it took them a long time to warm up to him.
