"Need some help?" Ryan walked inside the bedroom and laughed at me as I struggled with my tie
"Please" I sighed and she walked in front of me and fixed it for me, "I always have to fix John's tie and he's a grown ass man. You'll get better at it" she smiled small and I nodded
Today was the day, we were finally graduating from high school and before we know it we'll be off to college. I decided to go off to Howard months ago and I was happy Jrey and Lucky were going to be there with me.
We all were going our separate ways and I was kind of sad our little gang was breaking up, but that only meant we had to make our last summer together one to remember
Niy was staying in Georgia and attending Clark University with lejani and Quay was off to MSU with Naja while Tez was working on starting his own business. Layla was moving to New York to persue her modeling career which was taking off and Tianna was going to a local community college taking night classes so she could get her degree.
I was happy we all were doing something with our lives. "How do you feel? You're about to be an official high school graduate" Ryan smiled she had been so happy lately considering both her kids were graduating high school and going to good colleges, something she never had done.
"I'm excited to start a new chapter in my life, I'll just miss it here in Georgia. It's all I've ever known" I said and she nodded
Over the past month I've grown a little closer to her and my siblings and her husband. I learned to forgive her for all the wrong she's done and move on because life was too short. She still would never take the place of my Aunt but she was cool
Me and Ryan talked some more before walking down stairs where everyone was
"Awe you look so handsome" Bria walked up and hugged me making me roll my eyes, we got so close over these few weeks. We had a good connection almost like I've known her all my life. She was my favorite sibling by far
"I know" I smirked pushing her off me and fixing my suit jacket. "Eww never mind I take it back" she pushed me back before walking away
I laughed and grabbed my cap and gown, "I'll see y'all later" I said
"Wait. Let me see you" my aunt ran from the back with her camera making me roll my eyes
I let her take a few pictures and left when she began crying, she was so emotional with her being pregnant and all and I didn't wanna deal with it
I made my way to scoop Layla and Niy and I hoped they were ready. Last thing I wanted was to be late to my own graduation
I honked the horn and they came running out. Layla got in the front and I kissed her lips. They had my car smelling good as fuck. Almost like vanilla or something
"You look beautiful baby. My lil model" I kissed her hand and drove off. It felt good as fuck to brag to niggas and say my girl was a model.
Niy cleared her throat from the back seat making me chuckle, "oh you look good too I guess" I looked back at her and she rolled her eyes and flicked me off.
We pulled up to the school and rushed into the gym that was packed with the graduating class.
We met up with the gang and we had to take about a thousand group pictures. After that we went over our rehearsal one more time and sat around chilling until it was time for the event to begin
"Who told you to wear this dress though" I asked Layla as she sat on my lap
"Me myself and I" she stuck her toungue out at me
