A Chance at the Hidden Power

Chapter One

Graduation. The one day you shouldn't be nervous, you'd already found out that you had successfully completed the course and now you were to receive your diploma. But for some strange reason you were more then just a little nervous. You were in charge of the ceremony this year and you'd already managed to mess up the colour of the balloons. Your university colours were a 'Sky Blue' and white. Not a 'Navy Blue'. To some there wasn't much difference but to me it was a lot.

I was also nervous because what if I trip up. You always see them videos of people going up to collect there diploma and tripping and falling. Or even after that what if you're singing and the stands collapse or someone falls into you. Those things I shouldn't be worried about because the stands were pretty solid and the gowns weren't long enough for people to trip. I mean theres always shoe laces that they can trip over but the only people stupid enough to not have there laces tied up would be the people who rant attending this ceremony.

The main reason why I was nervous was my older brother was supposed to be coming. I say 'supposed' because he had never text me if he was or not, within this week. You're probably thinking 'what a shit brother' but my brother being Ashton Irwin it was a regular thing. He was never around, he tried his best but he was famous now. Even though he toured the whole world he was still my best friend and my brother. He meant a lot to me and looked after me Lauren and Harry. I had reserved him a place along with one of his friends. Unfortunalty Lauren, Harry and Mum couldn't come because of school and work so Ashton was my last pick. I had also reserved a seat for one of his bandmates since I know he wouldn't want to come alone.

I looked at myself in the university bathroom mirror and straightened out my hat. I was wearing a tight black dress which had netting down the sleeves and part of the back. It had a nice view of my cleavage and the skirt was just above my knees showing off my smooth tanned legs. Which they took a long time to get that smooth I'm telling you. My black dress was topped of with yellow heels, a black robe and my graduation hat.

I walked out of the bathroom and down the blue and white corridors of my university. This will be the last time I walk down here after 3 years of spending my life walking up and down these halls. I walked out the double doors and onto the field. It was a sunny day thank god. People were still just setting up and graduates were arriving with there families. I walked over to the main stage and grabbed a hold of the banner which had to be tied around the podium in which the head of the University will be stood behind. I grabbed a hold of the string and tied it around the podium making sure it was tied on tightly so it would slip down. I grabbed the celotape and stuck it around the string on the banner, making sure it was neat.

"Oi fucker" I heard and someone jumping onto my back. I turned around laughing at my best friend who's hat was now on the floor. She picked it up and gave me a hug. Amy was my best friend since we were in diapers, she had long brown hair and deep blue eyes. She was always there for me and I love her a lot, she's like my other half, some say we're inseparable. My favourite thing though was that even though she'd lived in Australia for 18 years she still had her irish ascent.

"Can you actually believe we're graduating?" she asks

"Not really, I remember in grade 6 when you wanted a pet kangaroo. Your mum said no so we went into the woods trying to find a kangaroo, like we were actually going to catch one"

"Hey I honestly thought a rope and a cowboy hat would make us expert catchers"

"Well it didn't, look where our imagination got us though, me graduating in photography and you in psychology" We both laughed and made our way towards Amy's parents.

"Hey Y/N, how are you?" Amy's mum asked

"I'm good, thank you, aren't you so proud of your Amy" I said squishing her cheeks
