"CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2019!!!!"
All of the seniors threw up their caps in the air, cheering."We did it!!!" Mich shouted
"I can't believe I actually passed and I'm going to college." Maya said in shock, making all of her friends laugh at her.
"Why are you still shocked babe? You got your acceptance letter a long time ago." Isaac said amused
"Because I can't actually believe I passed all of my classes, someone pinch me." Farkle reached over and pinched her. She glared at him, making everyone snort.
"Congrats you guys!" They all turned to see their parents and Paris.
"Mommy, Daddy." The teen parents smiled at their daughter before Lucas picked her up. Deja placed a kiss on her cheek, making Paris giggle.
"Im so proud of you guys, I'm glad I was your teacher." Cory said making the teens smile before giving him a bear hug. They were sad that they were going to be leaving Cory behind but that's the way of life. But they knew they would always see him as he would be a part of their lives.
"So what school are you guys going to? You guys kept it a secret from all of us." Talia said leaning against Shawn, the parents were proud of their daughter. She came a long way and they couldn't want to see what else she was going to do. The group shared a look
"You're looking at 10 accepted students of NYU!" They yelled, making their parents cheer before congratulating them.
"So you guys are staying in New York? What made you guys decide that?" Katy asked
"We thought all about it, it was actually after Mr. And Mrs. Matthews left... We said that we always wanted to be around each other and always be friends. So what better way to do that than to stay in New York where our big family is." Maya said smiling at her friends.
"Come on, we're going on to celebrate."

"Matthews get to class or you'll be getting kicked out!" A smirk formed on the brunette's lips. She pulled away from the guy she was making out with and snorted as he ran away under the glance of the Dean."You guys always use that excuse but I'm still here. I wonder how much mommy and daddy are paying to keep me here?" She asked with a pout and the dean glared at her.
"News flash Matthews... While you're here making yourself known as a slut, your old friends just graduated without you and are moving on, making a name of themselves. You can do whatever you want, I still have a name for myself and can go home to my wife and kids, while you have no one. If I were you, I'd get my act together. And your parents aren't the ones whose keeping you here, I am because I know you have potential... But you're gonna mess yourself up more than you already have. Get to class, I won't repeat myself." He said before walking away, leaving Riley on the hallway. She didn't want to admit it but his words got to her, she knew the group had graduated recently and it hurt her because she always imagined herself being there with them. But she was too far gone, there was no turning back for her. If being a slut was the way she would get the attention she want, then so be it. She smirked at her next victim, walking over to him.
"Hey aren't you the guy with the good stuff? Let's have a chat in my room. I could show you a good time."
⫷⫷⫷13 years later⫷⫷⫷"Good morning class." "Goodmorning Mrs. Friar!" She smiled at her class at her spot in front of the board.
"Welcome to your first day of 7th grade, hopefully you guys had a good summer. And I hope you guys did the summer reading." She laughed at her class groans, she loved annoying them about summer reading.
⫷⫷⫷DEJA⫷⫷⫷
"Okay okay, I'll be pairing you guys up to discuss what you guys did for the summer because you will be sharing the class. Go to your partner when I call out your names. Luis Friar and Thalia Hudson." I smiled softly as they both shyly went over to each other."Conner Matthews and Jada Carter." Jada gave me a glare as she went over to Conner and I gave her a grin.
"Anthony Hudson and Selena Minkus." Anthony groaned making Selena smack his arm and I shook my head, just like her mother. I paired off the rest of the class and watched as they conversate with each other. A knock hit the door and I smiled at the sight of my oldest daughter.
"Ms. Friar, may I help you?" I asked and she smiled, holding up a bag.
"You forgot your lunch again mama." She said amused and I went over, placing a kiss on her head.
"Thank you baby." She looked over at her little brother with a smile.
"Are we still going having our dinner with Grandpa Cory and Grandma Panga ?" She asked
"Of course, now get to class. Maya won't spare you just because you're her goddaughter." She laughed and walked out. Even as a 15 year old, she still can make those dummy fold and of course, she taught the young ones her way. But they know better than to try with me.
"Mama." I got out of my thoughts and looked over at Luis.
"Yes Mr. Friar?" I answered, knowing he hated it when I called him that. He gave me a look, making me laugh.
"Yes baby? What's up?" He started playing with his hands nervously.
"I really like Thalia but I don't know how to tell her." A grin formed on my face, Lucas owes me 20 bucks.
"Just tell her how you feel, and how knows? Maybe she feels the same way. You knew her your whole life, there's no need to be scared or nervous. She's your best friend, you can talk to you bubs." I said as he looked at me with his father's green eyes. He hugged me before going back to his seat. I see a lot of myself and Lucas in those two, just like Cory did for me and Lucas. I'm glad I didn't stay Locked Away, I met the love of my life and some of the greatest friends anyone could ask for. I do regret a lot of things in my life, like not fighting hard enough for Riley. Currently, Riley is in a rehab in Philadelphia. I guess after being shipped away, she turned to drugs and accidentally overdose. Luckily, someone had an ambulance in time and saved her. We all have visited her but not all at once, we didn't want to overwhelm her. She's getting better and has been clean for years. She even found love in one of the workers at the rehab who helped her out the whole time she was there. She has apologize to all of us and we accepted it but we knew that we weren't friends. That ship has sailed a long time ago and we didn't want to bring up past memories. I'm content with where my life is and there's nothing in the world that would make me want to change it.
"Alright, who wants to first? Let me see some hands!" "Me! I wanna go first! I do! Mrs. Friar, pick me!" I smiled at my class, and knew everything from here would be okay.
