Graduation

A/N Graduation of not only Brook and Peter but this book as well. This is a wrap. Tomorrow I'll post the epilogues. But guys this is the end. We're done. This is making me emotional.

Peters Graduation

Peter smiled at the waving Brook in the crowd as his principal called out his name. He walked across the stage, took his high school diploma, and shook the man's hand. He felt such a rush. This was it. This was the end of high school. He was leaving it with a whole group of best friends, a major best friend, and a beautiful girlfriend who always cheered him on. As he got off he could hear his three sisters shout his name.

Little did they know, Peter would be getting back up on stage. He had gotten valedictorian. And he was extremely proud of it.

As the rest of the names were called, his cheers for Candy were loud but not quite as loud as a brunette named Stacy, he ran over the speech in his head. And finally it was his turn. He climbed up on top of the stage and smiled at the crowd as they applauded.

"Hello everybody. I'm happy to announce that we are finished! We did it! And I'm proud!

I just wanted to say that not only am I proud of us finishing; I'm proud of what will continue to happen as our lives progresses. We each have talent, well enough talent to be in a fine arts school, and I'm so proud of what we will become and do with our talents. We have so much ahead of us. A career, marriage, kids. Our whole lives.

Thank you class. Thank you teachers. Thank you school. And thank you family and friends. Thank you for encouraging us to pursue in that future. Thank you for making us us."

Applause filled the auditorium and Peter went to sit down. As he walked back he heard his principal say something but didn't realize what it was until caps flew through the air.

And that was it. Peter finished high school. And ready for the rest of his life with Brook hopefully by his side.

Brooklynne's Graduation

Brook gazed into the crowd and smiled as she made eye contact with her boyfriend. He did a thumbs up which she happily returned.

"Brooklynne Anderson."

The crowd cheered as she walked across the stage. She was happy to be leaving the school even if she has done so much for it.

She shook hands with her principal and sat down. That was it. She was finished. Now all she had to do was throw her cap in the air. And She would be set free from the hell hole called high school.

Brooklynne cheered as each of her friends walked along the stage. And at last the valedictorian stood up to deliver their speech. Corey walked onto the stage. She remembered how proud and surprised she was when she learned that not only Peter but Corey as well was valedictorian.

"Hello seniors! So we did it! We are now escaping this hell hole called high school. No offense teachers and staff.

I'm really glad to have finally finished. I remember on my first day of high school I freaked out because I saw one pretty girl and it was too overwhelming. Everything was changing in my mind. And my best friend decided to leave me and attend a fine arts school. Which I'm still bitter about Peter.

Granted, he decided to follow his dreams. And I was happy for him. And now I'm happy for each and everyone of you. Because now we are all following our dreams. This was just step 1. Here's to the rest of our lives.

Brook cheered as Corey walked off the stage. She began to think about her future. For some reason all she could imagine was Peter. Peter and her getting married. Peter and her celebrating Christmas and birthdays. Just Peter.

And that was all right with her.

As she took off her cap and threw it in the air she realized this was it. She finished high school. And ready for the rest of her life with Peter by her side.
