WARNING. THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER STORY THAT I WROTE WHEN I WAS LIKE FIFTEEN. WHILE I AM VERY PROUD OF IT, IT CAN STILL HAVE SOME CRINGE WTF MOMENTS. SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. AND IF YOU DO READ I LOVE YOU AND ENJOY :)
We love. We hate. We make mistak...
"Guys it's packed outside," Sebastian reported. "I think they even had to bring out more chairs."
"This robe is itchy," Krystal complained. "Is it even one hundred percent cotton?"
I just smiled.
The entire graduating class was standing behind the large gymnasium before the ceremony. There were over a hundred people waiting.
"I'm so nervous," I rubbed my hands together.
"Don't be," Sebastian pulled me close. "I actually have something to give you. I was going to wait till after the ceremony but I think now is the perfect time."
"What is it?"
He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a ring box. I gasped.
"Before you say anything I'm not proposing to you," he chuckled. "Yet. It's a promise ring." He opened the box and my mouth fell open.
Inside was the a beautiful silver ring. It had one big diamond in the middle and the sides were carved with diamonds embedded in it. Inside the band were the engraved words, 'you have my heart.'

"Sebastian..." My eyes watered. "Oh my gosh..."
He took my hand and slipped it on my ring finger. "From the moment we first met I fell in love with you. We've been through so much together and we've still managed to pull through. You're the only one for me Cheyenne. No one else. And just like the ring says you have my heart. You've always had it. I'm giving you this ring because I promise to love you forever. I promise I'll be faithful. I promise that no matter how far apart we are I'll always come back to you. I promise I'll never leave you. I promise that one day I'll put a wedding ring on this finger. Because one day I want to marry you. I want to start a family with you. I love you Cheyenne Leigh Woods. Always and forever."
I was crying. I was crying so badly I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to see my way across the stage and accept my diploma.
"I didn't mean to make you cry," he wiped my eyes.
"How could I not?" I asked sniffling. "I love you so much."
"You guys," we turned to see Kimora, Krystal, and Rosie watching. All three were wiping tears from their eyes.
"That was beautiful," Rosie sobbed.
"Could you get any more cheesier man?" Charles said playfully to Sebastian. Benjamin shoved him.
"Don't listen to him. He's just salty because he's single."
"And you aren't?"
"I'm talking to someone right now."
"Where's Valentine by the way?" I asked Krystal after regaining my composure. Reese came up to her and slung an arm around her shoulder.
"He's with my mom," Reese answered. "Our families are sitting together somewhere in the middle."
