A/N Once again, I went a long time in between updating but with the crappy keyboard situation, and the messed up laptop WITH the fact I struggle writing the end of books, I have a big ol list of excuses ;) Anway, here is the chapter!

Chapter  87

*Ella's POV*

"Your dressing up! I don't care what you say, I want your graduation to show the real Ella not the little tomboy mask!" Nana continued to rant and rave. Tyler had left with Andrew and Ethan, and I was stuck with Nana.

"GOD! Fine!" I gave in, I finally found out why girls have periods and guys don't... they have to deal with us. Nana's period came in yesterday, and she goes from okay to not in two seconds flat. Don't get me wrong, most girls don't react to their periods that way, but I think Nana is always dramatic, she just lets it out on The Week, so she has an excuse.

"Yay! I already know just what your going to wear. I bought it yesterday, cause I knew you would..." She kept going, making her way down the hall. I took a deep breath, might as well get the day started, saying goodbye to the last four years of my life, and starting the rest of it.

I looked in the mirror, thinking something should be different. I mean I went through prom, fell in love, made friends, and here comes graduation, shouldn't I look different. Maybe more mature? Bigger boobs? I mean, I should at least feel different. I guess part of me always thought I would wake up on graduation and be an adult, I would be real world material. But all the things I found funny yesterday, I still laughed at. All the things that hurt, still ache. So what changed? What changes? A piece of paper, a new school, a new home?

My brown hair was curled and styled to perfection around my face, bright blue eyes outlined with black, and a yellow graduation gown, covering a blue dress Nana bought. But aside from my clothes, the mirror showed nothing new. Nothing was different.

"Its time to go Ella!" I took a deep breath, I may not see the change, but I knew it was coming. It had to... right?

*Payson's POV*

"Your going to make it?" I tried not to sound to hopeful.

"Of course I'm going to make it, they scheduled another doctor on call, so I can't miss it! And I wouldn't miss it for the world!" My mom had pulled me into a hug earlier, I laughed at how much thicker I was than her, but it was still comforting. Having a doctor mom was hard, always getting called away, but to know she was going to be here, meant a lot.

I looked to the mirror, A yellow gown and hat, with a blue tassel. I pulled my thick blonde waves into a messy/style bun. I wore a yellow sundress with blue flowers underneath it. Have to love the school colors. Something looked different, hell, something felt different. I stood sideways looking at my larger stomach, I wish I was as beautifully thin as Ella, but at the same time... It was me, and I was okay with that.

"Come on Payson, we have to get there early."

"Coming Mom!" I yelled. I sighed, this is it, I went through the make-you or break-you test of high-school, and I was ready to turn the tassel and turn the page!

"HERE COMES THE GRADUATE! HERE COMES THE GRADUATE." I sang on my way out.

*Bud's POV*

"I'm proud of you." I smiled, shocked to hear the words.

"Thanks, Dad."
