Chapter 10: "Graduation Ceremony"

The Ceremony isn't starting till 10 am, Katie was already up putting on her tight cocktail little dress and her sandals that matched with it. She had her hair curled. It was only 8:21 am, so no rush right now, her mom wasn't going to leave out till 9 am that way they will be there early. Katie ate a strawberry toaster strudel with the icing on top. Her mother had some cereal to start her day off perfectly. She was excited to see her baby graduate, wishing her husband could stand by her side and look at Katie accomplished 1 part of school.

Katlyn didn't have daycare today so she came with mom and Katie to the graduation. Kamiya was at her grandma house so she was going to school from there with her cousin, Na'riyah. It was now 8:45 and Katie and mom was just about to leave. She carried Katlyn to the car even though she was sleeping good. Mom and Katie left out in the car and drove to the school building.

At the graduation, everyone was arriving and the place was so big. So many parents was their to watch their children walk across the stage leading them to middle school. Teachers were going onto the stage getting ready to start the ceremony. As the children walked in the parents stood up and cheered for them. The music started playing and all you heard was clapping and cheering.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the official Graduation Ceremony, representing these wonderful children who are about to graduate from 5th grade", Principal Katherine said creating a big smile on her face. She played a song "The World's Greatest" by R Kelly for the song the kids sang to as they did the motions for it. After that Ms.Michelle, the Math teacher announced a few awards for "Excellence in Math". There were a few students who got "Most Improved in English" and an Honor Roll students.

Now it is time for the graduates to start forming a line to the stage. A few people before Katie were going up and everyone was cheering. Katie had so much ambition in herself, her stomach was filled with butterflies just by her being excited. It was almost time for her to go up on the stage, but Katie got sad because she was going to miss her elementary friends. "Katie Wilson-Roy", the Reading teacher, Mr Gordon announced her name. Ms Wilson recorded Katie and cheered loudly seeing her baby walk across the stage. She looked so beautiful in her little cap and gown.

The principal counted on three for the graduates to throw their caps in the air. "Three, Two, One, YAYYYYYYYYY", everyone said throwing their caps up in the air. Katie felt really great about herself. She whispered to herself and said "Look dad, I did it", Katie said looking at her lock screen with her dad on it. She kissed her phone and met her mom outside as everyone was leaving the building.

Ms. Wilson gave Katie a hug and kissed her on her forehead. She took some pictures of Katie and some with Katlyn holding her. After that, they got in the car and went out to eat at a restaurant. Katie got in the front seat and rode with the window open blowing her pretty long hair while her mom played music. Katlyn went to sleep in her little pink and black car seat.

Mom was driving a nice little speed today, the girls loved when they got in her Range Rover. Kids at school used to get rides home when they didn't get picked up on time. Everybody loved Katie's mom because she's so nice and kind.

Katie's mom finally arrived to the restaurant. She parked her car close up front so when she leaves she'll know where she had it. The restaurant they went to was called "Hot N' Juicy". It's basically and seafood and chicken restaurant that also sells good desserts. Katie had a taste for some good Crab legs and lobsters. Lobsters are the bomb like really—oh and the sauce that goes right with it makes your mouth watering and sweetened. Mom can wanted some chicken wings and fried shrimp for her brunch today. Katlyn had chicken tenders and wedge fries and some fruit punch juice off the kids menu cause you know, she's only a toddler.

Both Katie and her mom got a Strawberry Lemonade for the drink to go with the food. After they all ate their food, Katie's mom ordered a large strawberry cheesecake and a chocolate fudge cake. Katlyn had some vanilla ice cream with some sprinkles and chocolate chips on top with caramel syrup all over. I'm surprised she can eat it, it looked so good. Mom was planning on having a cookout for Katie on Saturday for the graduation. Ms. Wilson has a big house, with a pool in the front and a backyard.
