~Graduation Day~

It was finally graduation day. Ash was just getting ready at his father's house. For once Ash, took off the bandana and put on the cap properly. Ash just stared in the mirror and was holding Luke's speech. Ash just sighed and his father stood next to him. "I'm proud of you" Ash's dad told him and Ash faced his father with a smile on his face. "Thanks dad" Ash told him and hugged his dad. Ash's dad felt awkward as what. Ash's dad wasn't one for hugs. "We should get you to the graduation" Ash's dad told his son while putting a hand on his shoulder. Ash just smiled continually at his dad. Mandy hugged her brother tight. "You going to do well" Mandy encouraged her brother and Ash just smiled at her. "I know I will" Ash responded with a knowing smile. Lauren walked up to Ash. "So, how's Luke" Lauren asked Ash and Ash now rolled his eyes. "Still gay and so is Mike and so is Cal" Ash told his younger sister who seems to still have a thing for Ash's boyfriend and friends.  "Oh come on can you have non-gay friends" Lauren crossed her arms in annoyance. "First off even if my friends were straight doesn't mean they would go for you. I'm sorry but you are way too young for my friends to actually date you" Ash told her and Lauren just rolled her eyes at Ash. "Well then, I can't wait till you leave for university" Lauren huffed out to her older brother. "Oh, come on Lauren you know that you will miss him" Mandy told Lauren and once more Lauren rolled her eyes. "Well, I know I'm going to miss you Ashton" Harry told his older brother and Ash just smiled at Harry while rubbing the top of his head. "Yeah I will miss you so much Ash" Danny announced to Ash and Ash grabbed Danny into a hug because even though they didn't know each other for very long. Danny, Ash and even Harry had a bond already which made the parents really happy. "Okay well no need to be sad, it's not like he's leaving any time soon. He'll be here for the summer anyway" Lauren pointed out to everybody in the room. 

Meanwhile: While Ash was getting into his car, Mike was preparing for his speech by rehearsing it in the mirror multiple times. "You'll do great" Mike's dad told his son and Mike just nodded. "I just want to get this over with actually" Mike sighed while trying to figure out a way to make his graduation cap not look terrible on his head. "Oh, come Mike you only graduate once" Mike's dad told him with a smile on his face. "It would be better if Luke and Cal could graduate with us" Mike commented to his father. "I'm pretty sure they feel the same way" Mike's dad told him and Mike just sighed with a small smile. "Okay, I'm ready let's go" Mike told his dad while putting on his graduation gown. Mike rode with his dad to the ceremony. His dad parked the car and Mike saw Ash getting out of the car. Mike rushed to catch up with Ash. "Ash" Mike called out to Ash and Ash turned around instantly. "Mike" Ash hugged Mike. "So, can you believe we actually graduating" Mike exclaimed to Ash and Ash shook his head. "I can't wait to blow this popsicle stand" Ash an Mike heard the voice and turned around to see Ryan with Jade. Ryan was smiling hugely. Ash and Mike both shook their heads as all four of them walked into the venue for graduation. Mike and Ash made their move to sit on the stage but so did Ryan, Perrie,  Marcel and even Jade was sitting on stage for having the top 10 highest GPA. Ash was looking down at his feet  and Ash saw his parents and all of his family in the audience.  He even saw his mom. Mike looked back at Ash with a slight smile on his face. The principal started the ceremony. "Welcome the class of 2016" The principal stated in the microphone. "We going to start of with the salutatorian speech which will be done by Ashton Irwin" The principal stepped back from the podium.  Ash walked to the podium with the speech from Luke. Luke's family was in the audience. "Um, hi. my name is Ash Irwin and to be honest, I don't deserve to be giving this speech but Luke Hemmings should be up here giving this speech not me. So I have his speech in my hands and I'm going to read his speech. "High school, what is high school  filled with memories good or bad but high school was an experience for me. I met some cool friends and I gained more experience. Some people may think my life was falling apart but this year, I met the most amazing people and I opened up. To some, I may be a victim and I thought I was for the longest time but not anymore. So when I think of high school I'm not going to be sad or miserable but I will be looking forward towards my future. In the words of Luke Hemmings high school is an adventure" Ash said into the podium with a smile before stepping off the podium. It was Mike's turn to state his speech and Ash gave Mike a thumbs up.  "Hey guys, it's purging Mikey or Stalker Mikey. I know a lot of people in high school was one of the worst things to exist having to wake up the nasty school lunches but for me high school was a nightmare for me. You know back in the day, I cringed whenever I heard those nicknames but now I don't care at all because it was worth it like Luke or Ash stated in his speech. I got the chance to discover who I was and so did all of you guys sitting down there" Mike finished his speech to which he got claps and Mike just smiled before sitting right next to Perrie Edwards. Soon diplomas were handed out and the Clifford clan and the Irwins clan were screaming the loudest. It was after the ceremony, Mike and Ash was just sitting there talking to each other. Ash held Luke's diploma in his hands. Ben and Jack walked up to Ash and Mike. "That was a nice speech" Jack stated to Ash and Ash just nodded. "Luke should have been there to graduate with us" Ash shrugged his shoulders and Jack just stared at Ash before taking his hand waiting for Ash to shake it. Ash gladly took it.
