Soon enough, the end of the year came around. Sophie slid next to Biana at the graduation ceremony.
"What college is Fitz planning on going to?" Sophie asked her.
"Foxfire University," she replied. "I'm hoping to go there too when we graduate."
She grinned. "How cool would it be if all of us went to the same college?"
"Ooh! That would be awesome! What are the odds of us all being accepted?"
Sophie shrugged. "Not sure. But do you think we could get the others on board?"
"Shouldn’t be too hard, right? We can ask them on the camping trip at the beach. In a few weeks."
"Sounds like a plan," she turned back to the stage. "First, we have to sit in the hot sun for two hours."
Biana slumped. "Yeah."
What felt like several hours later, the ceremony came to an end. Sophie got into the car to meet everyone at the end of year party. It was taking place at the local pizza place that year.
Sophie pulled into the parking spot and went into the building. She wound her way through the tables to the back room that had been rented out for the party.
She sat at the end of the table where her friends had resided. Keefe greeted her with a kiss on the cheek. She giggled.
Everything had worked out perfectly since he was able to come back to school after the surgery. Ro had moved back home to make sure he was ok. Thankfully, no further complications rose up, other than low spirits. But that was officially past them, now that recovering was over.
After the rest of their group and joined, Biana asked, "Are you guys reading for the camping trip?"
"I'm so ready!" Linh exclaimed. "I'm so excited to sleep out on the beach."
"That makes one of us," Tam grumbled. "I already know I'm going to have sand in places that it shouldn't for weeks."
"You'll get over it," she told him.
Tam started to argue back, but the chaperone had clapped to get everyone's attention. The lights were lowered, and the slide show for the seniors was being projected on the wall.
Sophie scooted closer to Keefe so she could get comfortable. She rested her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her, securing her closer to his side.
Majority of the way through the presentation, it finally got to the V last names. When Fitz popped up on the screen, their entire group started hooting and hollering. Keefe and Dex were shouting and pointing at Fitz in his seat. Fitz slid down in his seat to hide.
"Shut up," he hissed.
They did not shut up.
When the presentation had ended, the pizza was brought into the room. As Fitz took the first bite of his slice, he informed the others, "I hope you guys are aware I'm going to be ten times obnoxious when you guys graduate."
Biana tossed her hair. "Looking forward to it."
