An Undefeatable Love

Chapter 63: MEMO!

Megan's Pov:

"Megan Gloria Jones!" When I heard my name called, it was like I was having an out of body experience. I heard the cheers, and my name being called from my family and friends in the stands, and the graduate seats. It was a chilling moment when my feets walked on the stage, how I stopped to shake every instructors hand, a smile so big that I was scared I stretched my mouth to full capacity.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I told each and every one of them until I reached the President of the college, so he can hand me my degree. I officially completed University. I shook his hand, not once looking at him but the folder holding my degree.

"Thank you, Sir."

"Congratulations, Ms. Jones."

Giggles were bubbling up, and I was hopping for joy coming down the steps at the other end of the stage. I saw my cousins and family hooting and hollering standing from their front row seat.

"That's my cousin! That's my cousin!"

"THAT'S MY SISTER, CONGRATULATIONS SISTER!!! STOP MOVING SO SLOW!!"

"That's my baby!"

"That's TT's baby!"

"Yeah, MEG BABY!"

Of course, the hired photographer was impatient, so to spare him, I skedaddled so he could take my picture with my new college degree. It was awesomely overwhelming, and considered one of my most favorite memories.

Another hour and half later...

"Monica Rosa Hernandez Sanchez!"

I couldn't hear no one else's shouts over mine when Mo walked across the stage. Beatrice and Josh might be jealous how all out I went for her but they'll get over it. She cutely walked and shook everyone's hands. With quick conversation, she let the president rub her stomach then shook his hand. She waddled across that stage, but looked fine doing it.

Thirty minutes later...

"If our graduates could move their tassels to the left side.... I'm honored as the President to announce..." I could only hear the important parts. "Class of 1982, you have officially graduated! Congratulations to all of you!" The stadium played the music as we all threw our caps in the air, well, me not so high cause I want the exact one I came with to leave with me.

"Megan!" Monica found me fast as hell, and gave me a bone crushing hug, bawling her eyes out. I just know she's going to be crying extra hard for messing up her makeup. Why can't they make these things waterproof or something?

"Monica!" I hug her loosely keeping in mind her state. Joshua and Beatrice has joined us in our group hug. We hopped in a circle, before announcers told us to walk around the arena for the exit. I waved at my family like a crazy person, seeing my mamma and Nana cry had tears rolling down had mine next. I'm the first woman in my family to go to University, and I know how proud this makes them. I wouldn't be here without them.

It took a good minute before they released us from the back, and we could go find out families. Mo and I held hands as we wondered around looking for ours knowing they'll be together. Our group got smaller as Josh and Be found their people along the way.

"Monica! Megan!"

Goddamn, Tilo.

My uncle made me want to hide seeing him ready to climb a statue to find us, but we did yell back at him so he could spot us in the crowd. He did his job, just wish he would get off these people's things. It's sunny out and bright as hell, everybody can see him.
