"WHEN WE WERE FIVE THEY ASKED US WHAT WE WANTED TO BE WHEN WE GREW UP." Jessica says as she reads her speech to us. Jasper's arm is resting over my shoulders and my back is pressed against his chest.
"Our answers were things like; astronaut, President, or in my case, a princess." The crowd chuckles and I let out a slight laugh. I can't believe I'm graduating. "When we were ten, they asked again. We answered; rockstar, cowboy. Or in my case, a gold medalist." I smile up at Jessica and nerves overwhelm my stomach.
Jasper sends calm waves through me and I take his hand and interlock our fingers. "But now that we've grown up, they want a real answer. Well, how about this; who the hell knows." I clap my hands together with a laugh.
"This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, this is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love, a lot. Major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind, and change it again because nothing's permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can, that way someday when they ask what we wanna be... we won't have to guess."
"We'll know."
I clap my hands together with a smile. My diploma is in my lap with the words; Honours Graduate on the inside. I'm proud of myself. I managed to get through high school. But I know I'll have to do it just about another million times.

Music blares all around me and I dance beside Angela and Jessica. Bella's scent greets me as she walks into the house but I wait for her to walk up the stairs before walking over to her. "Hey, you made it." I say and wrap my arms around her. I pull away with a smile and the other two hug Bella also.
"What did you think of my speech? Too easy breezy? Too self helpful, you hated it?" Jess asks Bella. "No, I think you pretty much nailed it." Bella tells her and the music changes suddenly. "It's like I was born to lead, right?" Jess says and I smile at her.
"I love this song! Let's go!" Angela takes Jess' arm and pulls her away to dance. I turn to Bella and she watches them, feeling outcasted. I take her hand and squeeze it with a smile. "Come dance with me?" She shakes her head with a chuckle. "I can't dance." I nod my head and gently pull her with me.
"I know. One song?" Bella sighs and slowly sways to the music. I grab her hand, lifting it above her head and spin her around. "What are you doing?" Bella asks in shock. "I'm teaching you how to dance." She rolls her eyes and I spin her around again, before interlocking our hands and moving her arms with mine.
