That Golden State Love- Klay Thompson Love Story

Graduation

Today's the day. Today's the day I graduate from WSU. It's a bittersweet moment because I really love this school and the relationships I've built with many people here but I'm also ready to go out and see what the world has to offer me. I am getting ready in my hotel room with my family.

"I can't believe my baby is graduating. It was just yesterday you were in elementary school now look at you about to graduate college." My mom says with tears coming down her face.

"Awwww Mom don't start because if you start crying then I'll start crying. And I don't want to cry just yet."

"My baby's all grown up now and about to move to California to start her life with my future son-in-law."

"Mom stop it. I'm gonna start crying if you keep it up and I just finished my makeup."

There was a knock on the door and my brother goes to open it.

"Whaddup Klay?" My little brother says doing his special handshake with Klay. I swear my brother has a bromance with Klay.

"Whaddup little bro?"

"Nothing much just waiting for big head to great ready so we can go to her graduation."

"Who you calling big head ugly?" I say turning to my crusty little brother.

"Yah mother"

"We have the same mother jackass." I said with a straight face. 

"Oh right. Just shut up."

"Hey ma. Hey pops." Klay says walking over to my mother and giving her a kiss on the cheek and give my dad a hug.

"What's up son? And Marcus I heard you. You ugly like yah father."

"I know you ain't call me ugly. With that big ass nose Lisa." My dad says.

We crack up. This is one of the reasons why I love my family. We're always cracking jokes on each other.

"Hey baby." I say giving him a quick kiss.

"Hey you ready for today?"

"Yeah. It's a bitter sweet moment but I'm ready to move onto the next part of my life."

We joke around for a bit until it was time for me to leave. I had to leave earlier for me to line up with the rest of the graduates. I meet up with some of my teammates and friends before we line up.

"SQUADDDD!!!" I yell.

"SQUADDDD!!!" They yell back.

I run up to them and pull them into hugs.

"Guys can y'all believe this. We are about to graduate." I say.

"I know it was just yesterday we were freshman's on the ball team. Now we about to graduate and enter the real world." Stacy says. Stacy decided to opt out of the draft get her degree and then play overseas.

"It's so crazy but I'm ready."

We go to sit down. I can already tell that I was gonna be here for a while so I got comfortable.

They start to calls name. I wait for my name to be called.

"Malika Robinson" I hear the president calls.

I strut across the stage as I hear my family and friends scream my name.

"That's our baby!!!" I hear my parents yell.

"Go baby girl." I hear Klay yell.

"Go ugly." I hear my brother yell. See this is why I be wanting to fight his annoying ass.
