The Life We Made

Chapter 11

Wednesday morning, Victoria comes in my room and jumps on my bed, waking me up rather forcefully.

"Get up get up get up!" she yelled. I groaned and rolled over. I didn't want to get up. "Come on, Kay, it's graduation day!"

Logan came in sleepily and laid down on my bed. "I can't believe we're graduating, guys."

"It's so exciting!" Victoria said cheerfully.

"But we're not all going to be together anymore..." I said. Victoria was staying here and going to grad school at NYU. Logan had considered staying here and had every intention to, until she and her boyfriend both got accepted at Baylor, so she decided to go to med school there. Taylor was going to law school at Harvard. It was definitely going to be different without them here. But thankfully we were going to be together until the end of June.

After that, we hadn't talked about it too much. Victoria and I were going to try to find another place to live that wasn't as big and didn't cost as much. But that proved difficult in the city. We could look outside the city, but the commute would be further.

"Let's not think about that now. We still have over a month," Logan said.

"Today is a happy day," Victoria said.

"What's going on in here?" Taylor asked, walking in. She joined the three of us on the bed. It was a tight fit having 4 of us in a full bed. But none of us complained.

"We're getting sentimental," Victoria informed her.

"When we met 4 years ago, did you see it ending like this?" Taylor asked.

"Not at all," I said.

"Me either," Logan agreed. "I'm glad it did, though. I wouldn't have wanted to spend my college years with anyone other than the three of you."

"Awh, Logy," Victoria said. "I love you guys."

We got up eventually and started getting ready for graduation. We had to be there by 9:30 to line up to be seated.

I put on a light mint 3/4 sleeve dress that had different colored flowers on it. It came down to just above my knees and had an empire waist. Because I was pregnant, I chose to wear nude flats. I didn't think I could do heels as long as I knew I'd be standing today. I put my strawberry blonde hair in an "Elsa braid" before doing my makeup.

When I was ready, I went and poured myself a cup of coffee and ate a donut from the box that Victoria had brought home last night.

I was enjoying my Bavarian cream donut when Victoria came out and joined me. "Is that donut good?" She asked, a smirk on her face.

I looked at her skeptically. "Yes..."

"The powder is all over your face," she said, trying to hold back a laugh.

I shrugged and continued eating my donut. When I was finished, I took my napkin and wiped my face off.

"Let's go!" Logan yelled. "We have to be there in half an hour. We're pushing it!"

I hurried back to my room and grabbed my cross body and cap and gown. We all met at the front door and hurried outside. Because graduation was at Yankee Stadium, parking was basically nonexistent. So we were presented with the task of hailing a cab at 9 am on a weekday, something that was difficult to do.

Thankfully, though, one passed by, unoccupied, at just the right time. We hurriedly climbed in and told the cab driver where we needed to go. We didn't encounter much traffic until we got close to the stadium. Logan looked at the time, her knee bouncing.
