The Girl Next Door (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

Congratulations Graduate

A/N: Heyyyyy :)
I'm back ^.^
I missed you guys! A week?
That's all it's been? Man, it feels like so much longer.
Sadly, this is the last chapter of The Girl Next Door and then I'll be posting the epilogue...
But don't worry! I will be releasing the sequel ASAP. So please keep an eye out for that. ;)
Nevertheless, here's the chapter. >.<

~*~*~*~
Nikki's POV:
~*~*~*~
"You two are growing up so fast!" Mom smiles proudly at Zach and I as we pull on our caps and graduation robes over our dress clothes in the living room.

"Yeah, valedictorian." Zach says proudly.

"How did you even manage that?" I joke, "I thought that it would require a brain."

"Oh, ha ha." Zach says sarcastically, rolling his eyes at my comment.

"I know, I'm just that hilarious." I joke in a fake smug voice, flipping my curled hair over my shoulder as I pull on my cap.

"You keep telling yourself that." Sophia says, walking into the living room with an apple in her right hand.

Zach pouts as Mom pulls out the camera. Dad just smiles at us from over the top of the book which he was reading as he lounges on one of his chairs. "Alright you two," Mom grins, "smile!"

Mom takes a few pictures of Zach and I just wearing our graduation getups. "When you move out, can I have your room?" Sophia asks me casually, tossing her apple up and down.

I roll my eyes at her, "I'll miss you too." I answer her sarcastically.

"Well can I?" She asks, ignoring my comment.

"Whatever," I answer her, "it really doesn't matter to me."

"Yes!" She fist pumps the air while smiling. I grin at her eagerness. 

We finish up pictures and Mom fixes my hair after Zach giving me a noogie and out we head out to the graduation ceremony.

"Okay, I want you all on your best behavior." Mom says, turning around to face us three as Dad drives us to the school.

"Yes, Mother." We all respond in bored tones.

Mom and Dad chuckle at our simultanious response as we zoom down the highway to the school.

"When are you moving out?" Sophia asks suddenly, looking over at me.

"You're that excited to get rid of me?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.

"Well, no. But I just wanted to know." Sophia responds sheepishly.

I smile, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear before answering her, "McKenna and I plan on moving out to London next week. I just have to finish up packing up all the little stuff lying around the house and I'm all set. Are you going to miss me?"

"Nope." Zach answers, smiling.

"I wasn't asking you." I make a 'derp' face at Zach, acting annoyed but honestly, I know it's all in banter.

"I guess so..." Sophia trails off, answering me. "It's just going to be weird without you and Zach around." She shrugs.

"Oh yeah, where is it that you're going to UNI, Zach?" I ask, turning to my brother.

Zach shakes his blond hair out of his eyes as he smiles and proudly says, "Manchester." 

"Yes!" I fist pump.

"Why's that a good thing?" He asks, confused.

"Three and a half hours away from you!" I laugh.

"Oh come on, admit it. You're going to miss me." Zach coos, pinching my cheeks.
