Friends with Benefits • A J2 Story

Chapter 34- Jensen's Pov

Today we were graduating. With the help of Jared, I had managed to sly through all my classes with a C, meaning I was eligible to graduate with my class. But, as great as that sounds, that wasn't the reason I was so excited.

I've had this secret weighing on me for a month now, and without spilling it to no one, I was gonna finally do it. I was gonna ask Jared to marry me.

Tonight was already special for my boyfriend, so why not make it even more memorable? The ring was picked out already and sealed in a safe spot, away from Jared's eyes. I could see the shock on his face already. It was going to be amazing, for the both of us.

"I can't believe we are graduating already," Jared states, jumping with anticipation. We- as in Jared, Misha, Austin, and I- all were dressed in our graduation gowns with caps placed proudly on our heads. We were in the car as well, driving to the high school.

"Calm down, babe," I chuckle, placing a hand on his thigh to keep him from moving so much. He just shrugs it off, continuing to jump in his seat. He was like a little kid awaiting a treat.

"How can I calm down?!" He blurts, grabbing everyone in the car's attention, "Aren't you excited?! This means no more high school. Then in a year or two when my parents think I'm ready, we are going to college for four years and start our own lives."

Yeah... Exciting was the word. I smile though, happy to at least see him so joyous. He goes back to blabbering about how fun college would be, immediately losing my interest.

I glance to Austin and Misha, only to see them making out heavily. The two had hit it off pretty well since their first date, and I was relieved to see the light that lived in Misha's eyes again. He was back to his ole sassy self...

"Are you even listening?" the beautiful boy in front of me snapped, his hand waving in front of my face. I look to him with wide eyes, obviously indicating I wasn't paying any attention.

"You're lucky you're my boyfriend," he pouts, crossing his arms. In his small outburst, his cap tether had fallen in front of his face. I laugh softly at how cute he was, moving the fabric away.

"I am very lucky," I couldn't help but smirk, connecting our lips into a kiss. I would have kept on kissing him and never stopped if not Jared's mom telling us to separate and be 'an arm's length' from each other.

"Okay, we are finally here," Mr. Padalecki states, pulling the truck into a parking space. Jared, as jumpy as he was, had trouble keeping still as we climbed out of the vehicle. It took all of me to keep him near and not to run off to see all the certificates in the corner of the room. My little nerd.

"Come on, get together. I want a picture of my boys and their dates," Sherri squealed. I see where Jared got his excitement genes from...

We all groan in response but got together anyways. With my arms around Jared and Austin's around Misha's, we all smile at the camera. After a few million, she lets us go.

We mainly talk for the few remaining minutes before we are called to sit for the ceremony to begin. Jared and I's hands locked together as we took seats.

Our principal came up first, giving a long, boring-ass speech about how even though some kids were perfect angels and some were troublemakers -he looked at me as he said it- we all graduate in the end. He then went on and on about how we all had potential futures ahead of us. Then, finally, he goes to calling our names.

Since she was going by last names, mine was called first. Most people would get nervous or freak out about being first, but I couldn't find it in me to really, truly care. I didn't care about school, and the only reason I was here was because of Jare. Damn, I was so fortunate to have him.
