Biana dusted some gold powder on Sophie's eyelids. Sophie coughed as the glitter rained down on her.
Biana smiled at the work that she had done. She placed the makeup in her bag and picked up her graduation cap.
Sophie adjusted her hair and looked into the mirror. She knew she shouldn't be surprised at this point, but every time Biana did her makeup, it'd shock her at how professional it looked.
Sophie slipped her dark blue graduation gown over her clothes. Their were only a few more minutes before they had to go out for the ceremony.
When the time came, they filed outside in alphabetical order. That meant, unfortunately, she didn't get to sit next to her friends. Dex was the closest one to her, but he was about a dozen people away. Marella was the next closest. Even still, she was at the second half of the students. Keefe, Tam, and Linh were all the way at the S last names. Poor Biana was at nearly the dead end of the line.
But not much time was given to dwell on that. The music started playing, and the national anthem was played.
Around the middle of the B last names, Sophie started zoning off. That was until Dex's name was called. From the second half of the line, she could hear ruckus. Those were her idiots.
Then came her turn. Once she got up onstage, the ruckus started back up again. This time, with an added bonus of, "THATS MY GIRLFRIEND!"
Sophie didn't know if she wanted to crawl up into a hole and die or laugh at the ridiculousness that was her boyfriend. Well, she didn't see a hole anywhere, so she might as well choose the latter.
Sophie decided not to pay attention to the rest of the ceremony until her friends got up on the stage.
When it was over, the announcer told them all to flip the tassel on their hats. When she did, she picked it up and threw it into the air.
Coming down from the stage, Grady and Edaline were there to greet her. They gave her a bouquet of flowers and a hug.
"We're so proud of you, sweetheart," Edaline murmured, kissing the top of her head.
