A Million Thoughts

(Aiden's bitch ass up top. He's my creation but ion like him😭)

Third POV~

Her eyes flew open and the young nineteen-year-old laid there on her bed. Sweat dripping down her forehead. She sighed in frustration and sat up. Looking at the time her eyes went wide. As she sat on the edge of her bed, she looked at her door only to now see her mother causally leaning against the door frame.

"Holy- Jeez mom! Say something if your here! Make your presence known!"

Her mother shook her head and rolled her eyes.

"Kanji, I've called you a total of five times and you ignored me."

"I was asleep ma-"

"When you sat up dear."

She turned and looked at her mother with confusion. Then she shook her head and stood up stretching her limbs.

"I'm unbelievably sore today gosh!"

"You had a sparring event yesterday that's a given my dear."

She gave her mom a soft 'ha-ha got ya' smile then she looked at the time again.

"I'm assuming you woke me up because today's...."

She trailed off and her mother nodded.

"Graduation day so come on! Get up get ready. Your cap and gown are on your study desk."

Her mother left her room. She sighed and looked at a picture by her bed. A woman with long hair and green eyes was holding a young child in her arms. The woman stood at approximately 5'9 her pearly white teeth glistened as she held her baby. The man next to her stood at 6'1. His eyes looked young and old because of his smile lines. He looked down at his wife and child with love beyond compare.

Kanji held the photo before kissing it and then putting it back down. She got up and started to get ready for her special day playing music (Send my love by Adele). After an hour of getting ready she grabbed her bag and her speech ready to dart out the door. She opened the door and then looked back smiling at the picture one last time before whispering.

"Love you dad..."

Soon they arrived and she stepped out the car nervously. Her mother rubbed circles in her back telling her it would be alright. But the young girl couldn't help but feel that the day would go wrong. Some way.... somehow, she felt something bad would happen.

Kanji's POV~

As I walk through the crowd to where all the graduates stand, my mind runs back to my dream from this morning. I remember that boys last name. Yet I can't remember his first name. Ah this is such a headache.

My mother and I walked through the crowed receiving a lot of congratulations and warm smiles at least that's what they looked like. Sometimes the people would look at us with a look that I can't exactly express what it was.

Maybe it was hatred for being a noble family? Or envy? I couldn't tell. And to be honest I don't think I wish to be able to. Soon we reached the stage. As I stood in the back with the rest graduates, I looked down at my speech remembering my words and remembering to stay calm and poise like mother taught me. Then suddenly my father's words rang in my head.

'Keep your head up no matter what cause that's what's life is about encountering obstacles and defeating them by doing good.'

I smiled warmly and giggled a bit. 'Thanks dad! You've always known what to say! Even when you're not here anymore.' My thoughts got cut short when the announcer spoke up on stage.
