The New Direction - 1D Fanfiction

Chapter 12

Amanda and I had found our heels for later this evening after a few more hours of shopping. The both of us decided just to get some black stilettos. Now all four of us sat in my jeep as we drove to the hell hole. I shuddered at the fact that I knew Tim and Frank were going to be there. Tim had confessed his love to me and kissed me, right infront of my friends and his. Then we kind of beat him up, I felt bad but the pain in his eyes made the pain go away. He had put my through hell and it was his turn. I shook it off and refocused on the street ahead of me. We were all dressed in our graduation gowns and caps, our dresses and tuxes underneath of them. I pulled up at the doors to our school, the vallet stood infront and waited for us to exit my car. Carefully I gave him my keys. 

"If anything happens to my car I will kill you." I smiled at him as I released my keys.

Harry, Niall, Amanda and I all linked arms and stepped into the school. The four of us all headed down to the auditorium. Niall and Amanda shared a short  but sweet kiss, Harry and I hugged and he kissed my cheek. We all went to join our homeroom classes. Amanda and I approached our homeroom class and stood in line, she was near the front and I was near the back. Luckily we had our phones on us so we could text throughout the ceremony. Since my family was still away Niall's mom said she would record the ceremony for us. I watched as we all smiled at each other, my three friends and I; we all took our seats and waited for the ceremony to begin.

The entire teaching staff and the principals, even the guidence counselors all stood on the massive stage we had. Our main principal approached the microphone with her little cue cards, you could tell she was upset. She whiped her eyes of the tears, I was surprised she was actually crying. Mrs. Saunders seemed to be the bitchiest of all the bitches I knew. Mrs. Saunders cleared her voice and smiled.

"Hello parents, guardians, other family members and friends. Welcome to the graduation ceremony of 2013. The teachers and I here are extremely proud of our students, but we are also sad to let them go. We watched them grow up for the past four years, we helped them through their toughest of times." She continued on with her little speech.

'Yeah that whole part about helping us through our toughest times... Bull fucking shit.' I texted Harry, Niall and Amanda in a group chat.

'I know right. How stupid does she think we are?' Amanda responded right away.

'Obviously they think we're incredibly stupid. Oh well we'll be out of here soon.' Harry commented.

'And ready to PARTAY!' Niall sent.

'LOL Niall, no getting drunk tonight please. Don't feel like dragging you home and onto my couch AGAIN.' Harry mentioned.

'LMFAO Niall you were really that hammered?' I asked.

'Yup, maybe not so proud of it but it's fun :P ' he answered.

'Lol I love you Niall.' Amanda jumped in.

'Love you too my princess.'

'AWEH!' Harry and I sent at the same time.

I looked up at the stage again and Mrs. Saunders was still talking. She looked like she was almost finished though, sooner or later she was. Next up was the valedictorian, I recognized the curly brown hair. Within seconds I realized it was Harry, my Harry Styles. He looked right at me and smirked, I smirked right back at him. He also had multiple little cue cards, I found I actually wanted to pay attention to his speech. Considering the fact that he was my boyfriend.

"Wow, class of 2013; now that sounds special don't it?" He flashed a smile and ruffled his hair. "Heh, I better get on with this speech now huh?" The audience laughed. "I remember four years ago from today, it was the first day of school and I had just moved here from England. I was so frightened and alone. I had no friends. But now looking back on the past four years I have grown and learn so much. I've made so many good friends but none as good as my three best friends. You know who you are." He winked. "I remember walking through the halls and see people I didn't even know smiling at me. That makes me feel amazing to know I live in such a wonderful place with such wonderful people. Now this is our time, we have to grow up and make our life choices as of today. A friend of mine would so have said 'FOREVER YOUNG' right there." He chuckled. "Some of us may just start working, others might continue on to higher level of schooling. Some might go on the journey of their lifetime, others might start their first moments together as a happy couple. Whatever you decide to do, make it worth it. It's our time to live life to the fullest and find out who we really are. Make mistakes, fall in love with the wrong person, take a cab somewhere you don't want to go. Major in some random subject just because. Whatever the cause just make sure that you're happy with your life. Here's to class 2013!" 

 Harry stepped off the stage and headed over to his seat. He passed Niall and they did a their handshake they created in the ninth grade. It was hard to believe that after four years, just barely living through so much hell that I was actually graduating. My 'sister' was getting married to one of my closest friends. I had fallen in love with my best friend. It may sound extremely cheesy but it's true, I was incredibly happy to know that we were finally a couple. Mrs. Saunders approached the microphone again she smiled and called the teachers over to help give us our diplomas.
