On the last day of school, normally people are happy when they graduate. Me? I'm more nervous, I have to move in a few weeks. Kit's leaving back to the UK in a few days, we have yet to confirm if we are dating. We haven't even had that conversation, we've been avoiding it. Heaving a sigh, I put on my dress and stare at the mirror. I bought this dress sophomore year specifically for graduation, when I bought it the chest area was too big; now it's perfect. There was a knock on my door before it was opened, it was my mom, Jack, and my father.

"Scarlett, you look amazing," my father had said upon seeing me. The way Jack was staring at my chest made me uncomfortable, I scrunched into myself.

"I don't know, is it too showy?" I turned back towards the mirror trying to hide my chest area from Jack.

"No, I think it's perfect," my mom's voice made me turn around. Jack was staring at my mom this time, I hope she caught him and was going to scold him about it later.

"Well, I need to add my jewelry and shoes before I can add my gown and cap," I ushered them out of my room while I walked back to my bed to add my shoes. Looking in the mirror once more, I shut my light off and walked downstairs. It felt like prom all over again, except this time I was a grad and had Kit.

"Scar, look at you!" Paige was in my living room wearing a red dress, I smiled upon seeing her.

"Pai, what are you doing here? I thought you weren't going to graduation?"

"I paid my dues yesterday and they are letting me walk!"

"That's perfect!" I ran to hug her and our moms laughed. Our families have been friends since my great-grandparents, Pai and I grew up together and are more like sisters than friends.

"Girls, we need to head out for pictures!" Mom #2, Pai's mom, called from the outside.

"Coming!" Pai yelled trying to run in her heels, I knew how to so I got outside first; while laughing at Pai, who was scowling at her heels as she walked out bear foot.

"Girls! Hurry, the Connors are already in the car!" Mom yelled as I helped Paige walk down the porch stairs in her heels.

"We'll be there in a minute, Paige needs to learn how to walk in heels!" I called back as we got off the stairs.

"Well, you two are in the back with Kit since your dad and Jack are in the captain seats,"

"Then one of them needs to move so we can get in," I said as we walked up to the car.

"Got it," my dad jumped out and let us in. Paige sat on the side so I was in between Kit and her.

"Hey," Kit said as I climbed in, my gown and cap in the trunk.

"Hey,"

"Wow, way to pull a Nick and Charlie there," Pai said as I buckled my seatbelt.

"Paige, let them be," Pai's mom said through the phone. She was in her car, which in hindsight would've been easier for the three of us to ride in that car.

"How did you hear me?"

"There are microphones throughout the car, plus no one else was talking,"

"Why didn't we ride in Mrs. Preston's car?" I asked. No one answered and I stifled my laugh.

"We didn't think of that," Jack said, Paige laughed next to me while I leaned into Kit laughing.

"How did you not think of that?" Pai asked.

"Well, I don't know," Mrs. Caroline had said from the front seat.

"And graduating at the top of their class, we are very proud to invite Scarlett Delacour to the stage," the principal, Mr. Allan, had announced. I smiled and waved as I walked up to the stage.
