"Can you believe in a few hours, we will be high school graduates." Nick said as they sat in Carters living room. Everyone was there; Carter, Sam, Luke, Nick, Nicole, Kat, Freddie, Aiden, Penelope, Michael, Cameron, and Kendall. They didn't want to do anything too extravagant. Jason and Natalie were coming later, they went out to eat with Jason and Natalie's parents.
"It's all so surreal." Freddie said.
"Yeah, like we were just freshman yesterday." Luke added.
"Soon we'll have real adult problems." Michael said.
"Speak for yourself, I already got real adult problems." Kat said, rubbing her little pooch belly.
"And you look good doing it." Luke said, kissing Kats cheek lovingly.
"Okay you two." Nicole said, scrunching up her nose playfully.
"You're just jealous." Kat said, sticking her tongue out at Nicole.
"She's got me." Aiden said, pulling Nicole closer to his side.
"You're all making me sick." Nick said, pretending to gag.
"Alright guys." Carter chuckled. They joked around and laughed with each other, cherishing the time that they have together before life settles in and they drift apart.
Natalie ate with her and Jason's parents.
"Can you believe our babies are growing up?" Jason's mother, Tammy said.
"Just yesterday, I was teaching her how to ride a bike," Mr. Weston said and shook his head.
"I can't wait to hear your speech, Natalie," John, Jason's dad said with a smile.
"Me either, I haven't even heard it," Jason said and nudged Natalie. She tried to keep up with the conversation, but Natalie was lost in the reality that in a few hours the only life she'd ever know would be over. When they finished she hugged their parent and left with Jason to Carter's house. They knocked on the door when they arrived, anxious to see everyone all done up. Jason held Natalie's hand to take away some of the anxiety she was feeling. Kat came to the door and opened it.
"Sit your pregnant ass down," Nicole called out running up behind her. Kat shooed her with the back of her hand but she didn't move anywhere.
"Natalie! You look gorgeous," Kat smiled and pulled Natalie into a hug.
"Everytime I see you you're bigger," Natalie smiled and rubbed Kats stomach a bit.
"Ayo, J-man," Freddie called out to Jason as they walked in. The girls hugged and then returned to the couch and chairs around the living room.
"Lets head out." Carter said as he stood up. After Natalie and Jason arrived, time seemed to fly and they talked and ate the snacks that Carter had set out for everyone.
"Our lives are about to change." Luke said as he helped Kat up.
"I'm not helpless." Kat said swatting at his hands.
"Yet." Freddie mumbled.
They walked out of the house and piled into their cars, heading to the school. Carters phone rang as he parked his car.
"Hello?"
"Hey man."
"Sebastian?" Carter asked, shocked.
"One and only." Carter could hear the smirk in his voice.
"What's up?"
"I couldn't not call you on the biggest day of your life." Sebastian said, "Since I couldn't make it."
