I looked in the mirror and smiled. I had on a black strapless dress with black pumps with my hair curly down, I smiled to myself as I looked at my self. I looked at the time and it was 11:15 a.m, I can't believe I'm about to graduate in a couple hours. I'm about to be done with high school for good and be in college.

"Kerra come on." I heard my Mom yell from downstairs. I had to be dropped off early so we could rehearse a couple more times then It's going to be the real thing.

"I'm coming." I yelled back as I grabbed my cap and gown and my phone and walked downstairs.

"Ready ?" She asked as I walked downstairs.

"Yeah." I took a deep breath and she nodded. We got in the car and the closer we got to the place the more I got scared. I kept taking deep breaths and my Mom kept laughing at me.

"Calm down sweetie It's going to be okay." She tried to assure me but It's not helping at all.

I walked out the truck and walked over to everybody else. "Kerra." Aaliyah ran up to me and gave me a hug "Can you believe were hours away from graduating ?" I smiled at her.

"I know and I'm nervous. " I laughed a and so did Aaliyah.

"Me too, every year someone falls."Jaycee came up to us out of nowhere.

"I hope It's not me." Aaliyah eyes got wide as she looked at us and I laughed at her.

"If you don't think about then your not going to fall." They both nodded and calmed down a bit.

"Hello Ladies." Chris and Darell came up to us.

"Wassup Breezy and Darell." Aaliyah smiled at them.

"Y'all ready to graduate and to get out this bitch ?" Darell was a lil to live right now.

"Hell Yeah I'm ready to live that College life." Chris and Darell did a handshake.

"Chris you can't do to much in College cause you gotta maintain that Football scholarship you got." Jaycee teased him laughing.

"You can't either." He stuck his tongue out at her and she playfully rolled her eyes at him.

"Whatever." We all laughed.

"Okay guys come on so we can rehearse !" Ms.Johnson yelled as we all made our way inside.

I kept taking deep breaths cause graduation was about to start in 2 minutes. I looked over at Aaliyah and she was kept fanning her self then I looked over at Jaycee and she was red trying to calm herself down and lastly I looked at Chris and he was playing around with Darell. Tyree and Travis aren't graduating this year cause they missed too many days and had the worst grades so they don't get a chance to have this feeling right now.

"Alright come on guys." Ms.Johnson whispered to us. I looked over at Aaliyah and she was smiling but had nervous writtin all over her face . We walked in and we instantly started getting applause for everybody I seen my parents screaming my name I turnt even more red as I took my seat.

....

"Kerra Brown. " The principal said in the mic I took a deep breath and heard applauses all around me I grabbed my diploma and shook everyone hands and walked off stage. I couldn't stop smiling right now I took my seat and watched as everyone else got their diploma.

Me, Aaliyah and Jaycee walked outside together where everyone was and all our parents ran up to us. "Come on girls take pictures. " Jaycee Mom said then all our Mom's took out their phones or camera's and started taking pictures. We took individual pictures then pictures with our parents.

"Say Ma." I heard a familiar voice say. I turned around and Travis was standing there with Flowers in his hand.

"Hey Travis." I smiled and so did he. He handed me the flowers and looked at me.

"Congrats." He pulled me in a hug and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks." I turned red and he chuckled .

"Bye Kerra." He started to walk off.

"Wait. " He stopped and looked at me "Take a picture first. " He smiled and nodded. We both turned to my mom and she smiled and took several pictures of us.

"Bye Kerra and congratulations." He smiled and showed his dimples making me blush.

"Bye." I looked at Tyree giving Aaliyah one last kiss before he walked off.

"Our turn to take pictures. " Darell and Chris came over and thepictures started again.

...

I had to choose between my boyfriend or thug and I chose my thug because I felt something special with him but then I started to rebel because I felt free I felt free from my parents controlling me and free from Me and Chris's relationship but that ended up with me losing my thug and that made me open my eyes to what people were saying, that I changed but I didn't want to believe it at first. But then I took a good look at myself and realized that I lost my bestfriend, my boyfriend and thug cause I wanted something different but look at me now I went back to the real Kerra Brown and I just graduated from high school as on of the top 10 percent and now I'm on my way to college I couldn't ask for anything else.

Other than my thug back

THE END !!
