Age Is Just A Number (A Blake Griffin Story)

Chapter 26-Graduation Horror

We were all sitting in the assembly hall and our principle was holding a speech. Someone pulled at my arm and I looked up to see Mr.Fry.

"Dana I need to talk to you."

"What is it?" I asked scared.

We went to the corner of the hall and she was shaking her head. She gave me my certification and looked down.

"I'm sorry."

I nervously opened the sheet and gasped. I had failed all my exams. I had an F in almost every subject. I looked around and saw that everyone was staring at me.

"Hey Dana, how's your report card?"

Danny asked, walking over to me.

"Oh umm it's good."

"Really? Let me see." Anna said ripping the sheet out of my hand.

"Hey, give it back."

"Well this doesn't look good to me. Looks like you're gonna be spending another year in high school.

The whole class laughed at me and I fought back my tears.

"Well, Dana, if you hadn't been so busy slutting it up with Blake you would have passed the exams."

"What are you talking about?"

"Guys can you please stop?" Mr. Fry said.

"Oh don't act so innocent. We know everything about you two. You should know that the teachers have already reported him."

"They can't do that!" I said crying.

"Well they did."

I looked at Mr. fry for answers.

"I'm sorry but we had to."

I pushed my way through them and ran onto the hallway.

"Dana! You can't just go!"

I couldn't breath and leaned against the lockers. Sitting on the ground, I started to cry hysterically. Suddenly I saw two police men and Blake. They were walking him outside. I looked at Blake and started crying even more.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

Blake didn't say anything. He just looked at me blankly, turning his head away.

I ran after him, stopping at the stairs. They were putting him into the car and drove off.

"Blake!" I screamed his name, running down the stairs but tripping and tumbling down.

***********************
I woke up soaked in sweat. Looking at my clock I saw that it was already 7:15. Sh*t Blake would be here in a few minutes.

I quickly got up and went to the bathroom to get ready. I just put on some concealer and mascara and throw on a flower dress. Taking my bag I ran out of the house without my parents noticing me.

Outside I waited for Blake behind an old gym.

This has been going on for the past three weeks. I didn't see my parents that often. I tried to avoid them. I had been at Blakes' a few more times but they had caught me and I wasn't allowed to see him. So we met up secretly and he helped me study. Last week I took my final exams and today would be my last day of high school if I was going to pass. My stomach growled and I saw Blake's car coming.

"Hey baby." He said as I got in his car.

"Morning."

"I bought you breakfast."
