Denying Dreams

6.

{5th grade graduation}

I warned y'all about the time jumps.

"Oh Louis you look so adorable! Come take a picture with Lottie.", my mom said when she saw me walk out my room with my cap and gown on.

I stood next to my sister that could barely walk so I had to carry her.

"Careful not to drop her Lou."

"I'm not mom, I'm stron-", I dropped her.

" Louis!", she landed on her butt but still started crying.

"I'm sorry!! She's heavy!", I tried helping mom but she said she'll just put Lottie in her stroller for now since we're leaving soon.

" Ok honey smile.", she told me as I posed for a picture.

"A normal one please.", she asked.

So I out both hands behind my back and smiled until she pressed the button then I pulled my hands out and put them in the air while parting my legs.

" Seriously Louis? I can't get one normal one."

"You can't even get a normal kid when it comes to me.", I said and she rolled her eyes and gave up.

"Come on let's just go.", she got her purse and pushed the strolled while I opened the door and walked to the car.

James and Richard are in the car already and I have to sit in the back with James.

Ew.

He's in 7th grade now but still picks on me.

I get in the car and mommy puts Lottie in her car seat that's next to James. She gets in the car and then we're on our way to my graduation.

James starts putting his hands in Lottie's face and I swat them away.

"Stop doing that, she'll cry."

"Shut up and sit down fag.", he tells me and I pop off.

Fag?

Never been called that before but I know it's bad because it came from James. So in result I hit him upside the head.

He started to cry and my mom told us both to shut up.

" Stop crying crybaby.", I told him and stuck my tongue out.

"I WILL PULL THIS CAR OVER AND BOTH OF YOU WILL BE CRYING, DO YOU HEAR ME?", my mom stopped at a stoplight and turned around to yell at us.

Me and James both nodded and he finally took his hands out Lottie's face.

" I love it when you're so dominate.", Richard said and I have no idea what he meant.

Everyone was quiet the rest of the way there and I when we got there, my mom had to look for parking which took a long time. We finally parked after a long time and all got out to go to my graduation at my school.

"Do you know where to go sweetie?", my mom asked me.

I nodded and she told me to go and that they'll find a seat on the bleachers.

I ran into the cafeteria and everyone else was in here. Now that I'm in fifth grade I have a few friends. I met two people that were new to the school so I helped them around. They're really funny and one farts a lot but he's still cool. I sit with them at lunch everyday. I looked for them and then I heard one of them call my name from behind me.

" Hey Louis over here!", I ran to them and said hi.

"Hey Niall, hey Liam.", the were dressed in the same cap and gown as me.

" Ready to get out of here?", Niall asked.

"You bet.", I high fived him and then we did our handshake.

" Over and out! ", we all shouted when the handshake was done.

" Ok everyone take a seat please we need to practice one more time.", the principal said into the microphone and everyone groaned.

We practiced 3 times sitting in our chairs then walking to the stage then off the stage. It was boring. I saw Harry's head of curly hair that was fully curly now and got happy but also mad.

I still like him.

Dang it, why do I still like him.

When practice was over we were about to line up to go outside for the actual graduation. I'm supposed to be near the back and so is Harry. His last name is Styles, that's what he told me when I hung out with him. So he's in front of me. I looked for his hair again and then went up the line to stand next to him. I tapped his shoulder and he turned and looked at me.

"Oh, hi Louis.", he blushed.

"Hi cherry boy."

"Are you still mad at me?", he asked me.

I took his face in my hands and kissed him in the lips. I only placed my lips there but he didn't move. He put his hands on my shoulders. I pulled away and looked him in the eyes.

" Not at all.", I smiled and he smiled too.

He kissed me on the cheek and then I heard a girl from behind us yell.

"EWWWW, Harry kissed Louis!", people around her heard her but not everyone and the ones that heard her turned their head at us and said eww too.

" I like him ok! I'm not scared of you Becky!", Harry yelled at her and she walked up to us and stepped on his foot. He cried out in pain and held his foot.

What the? Did she just hurt my Cherry boy? I pulled her hair and went to the floor, then she started to cry.

"I don't care if you cry. You hurt him first, so walk away.", I told her and she just stared at me and then walked away.

I looked down at Harry and he was still holding his foot.

" Are you ok?", I asked him.

"I am now.", he smiled and look up at me.

" Ok kids, it's time to go.", the principal said and I helped Harry get back in line and to his seat outside for when his name is called.

Finally, I'm happy.
