*•ADRIAN'S POINT OF VIEW•*

"I hate this," Leon said as he looked in the mirror. "I look like such a dweeb."

I looked up from my phone at Leon adjusting his button-up in the mirror. "Oh wow, you have a shirt on? That so dweeb-like!" I said in a sarcastic voice.

Leon scowled at me through the mirror and finished buttoning his last button. "You know what I mean."

I chuckled, setting my phone down on the table. "You're just not used to formal wear," I leaned back on the couch. "But I do think you should've gone with a color other than this ugly light blue."

Leon looked down at himself. "That bad?"

"No, it's just not that flattering," I shrugged. "But, you can't change your mind now, we have to leave in five minutes."

Leon sighed in annoyance. "The robe will cover it."

"You better hope so."

Today was Leon's graduation day, I was very happy for him. But, I was worried. He's the student body's key speaker. I haven't heard him rehearse or anything.

God I hope he doesn't plan on winging it.

"I can't believe I'm graduating college," he said, putting on his suit jacket. "It's so surreal."

"I'm proud of you, you know?"

Leon and I were still not the best at emotional talks, but we've gotten better with time. I don't think we'll be sappy brothers, but we'll also not be so robotic around each other.

"Are you getting emotional with me, Addie?" Leon teased, smirking sarcastically at me.

"I would never."

"Sure, sure," he rolled his eyes, a lazy smile on his face. "You ready to go?"

I nodded, getting up from the couch and stuffing my phone in my pocket. I was also dressed in formal wear, but that's because I had a meeting after with dad's COO.

I can't wait to actually start working with mom and dad. It'll be a dream come true.

"How come you look better than me on my own graduation day?"
