The Mad School

53: Graduation Day

It's the day. Where we all graduate. We say goodbye to those who are moving to other schools. To our beloved friends that we will not see in two months. I'm gonna miss this class so much.

‌Mom had put some make-up on me and curled my hair. She did a really great job. I changed into my school uniform. My grandmother had lended me her watch and bracelet. As a graduation gift, my mom had given me a new phone along with earphones and a case for the phone. I really like the case cause it's style or theme is London. Which is a place I really like to go to. The camera of the phone is really great. You can change it's filters, mode, and texts. It's way better than my old phone cause the old one kept crashing. I thanked them. This is exciting yet I feel like things aren't gonna end well.

"Indeed little one." I said to myself smirking.

"Will we strike at the middle of the occassion? Or at the end?"

"End. Have the graduates have their moment." I turn to my right to look at Hailee once again in my crystal ball talking to her friend, Hazel, I assume.

HAILEE

My uncle picked us up. My mom, grandma, aunt, and uncle was there. They parked the car in the grass field. I stepped out of the car holding my toga and hat in search for Hazel. I finally saw her and hugged her tight.

"Hi!" I greeted her smiling.

"Hey! I didn't recognize you back there." She said chuckling.

"I can't really see anything without my glasses." She laughs.

"I know right me too."

"Hey let's take a picture." I said and reached for my phone.

"That's your phone?" She asks. I nodded. We took some selfies then proceeded to the gym since the teacher was calling us for our class picture.

"Hmm where can I throw this gum out?" Hazel laughed.

"Poor thing." I rolled my playfully in search for a trash can.

"There's one over there." Heart said chuckling.

"Thank you." I said chuckling and went there and threw out the gum.

We took our class picture. We were all confused on where to look since there were so many people taking pictures of us. After a whole lot of cheeky smiles we all walked to the pathway so the program can start.

As the music starts to play, we walk towards the gym. I finally walk down the middle by myself and stood beside Blaire. Next Alexandra , Emerald and other students from a different class. We were called to go on stage. Well at least the silver medalist and bronze medalist. We performed our welcoming song. They had an opening speech.

We came up on stage again for another welcoming song. After that, it was our time receive our medals. I have two awards. Mathscore Awardee ranked 4 and a bronze medalist. At least I have an award right?

I walked up on stage and received my medal as my grandmother put on my medal. I smiled for the picture and headed down the stage.

Next was the loyalty award. Then a speech. This is gonna be a long night.

3rd Person POV

As all of them walked up on stage and gladly received their medals, nothing could be more happier as the group of friends took pictures of each other while their time wasn't occupied. Emerald recorded and took pictures of her friends. Alexandra not paying attention that Emerald was taking pictures of her. Hailee laughing at Alexandra. All was good. Little did they know those smiley faces weren't gonna make it through the end. They weren't aware but they were all still happy. All lost in their own conversation. All lost in their own thoughts. All lost in their own feelings. But all seem to find the same path. Happiness​. Nervousness. Childishness.

As the speech ended by the guest speaker, who received a round of applause from the crowd of graduates and parents. The main event has come. The giving of certificates. A clear proof of their hard work and a very clear proof they had finally graduated. The girls waited for their turn to fall in line.

As every student walk up to the stage, their quote was seen on the screen along with their ambition. All chose a very inspiring​ quote. All meaning an important message. For example, Hailee's quote.
"No one can tell you who you're supposed to be or who you are. Write your own story."
She picked it for the problems that happened in her family and school. From her past. She needs to be herself and start throwing away the negativities, dark thoughts, and troubles.(note to self follow that franxine). People's words can't exactly tell you who you are. They are strangers. But you can't be a stranger to yourself. Trust in yourself. You need to know what you think about yourself. If you feel like you have this bad habit then change it. But not when people tell you to change something that you do normally. All depends on you.

Time passed and they were singing their goodbye song. I'll Always Remember You by Hannah Montana. Iconic you might say.

All was good until everything stopped. Apart from the graduates. The music stopped. All you can hear is the sound of the mic echoing.  The graduates looked strangely and confused at the situation.

"What the hell?" Asked a student. Alexandra nudged Hailee.

"What happened?" Alex asked worried of her parents frozen in their spot.

"I don't know." Hailee said in pure confusion.

All the graduates turned their heads to the right when they heard shoes clicking to the floor. Confusion shown in their faces.

"Principal James?"
