"Cher, I swear to God, if you aren't down in 5 I'm going to cut your credit card!" Rolling my eyes I applied the last layer of my lip gloss.
"I am here, dad. No need to do a heart attack." I tapped my dad's shoulder as he is sighing loudly. "Oh great. You and your make up. At least you won't make an accident because you were doing it in the mirror."I gasped.
" Who do you thing I am? I won't do this!" I dramatically put a hand on my chest where my heart is. He chuckled and pushed me a little trough the door.
"Let's go, princess. You exam is in half an hour." I gave him one of my best smiles, which he replied with his.

The phone rang and rang, continously.
"Hello?" A low voice responded.
"Guess who took the driver license today?"I asked with a playfully voice.
"Cher, do you know what the time is?" My best friend Bennet asked me almost asleep."It's 5 pm, are you sleeping at this hour?" I was surprised. He never sleeps late.
"Oh excuse me, princess, but you were the one to got us in that new club." he yawns right in the speaker.
"You should be grateful that you were my plus one, not bitching about it." This came back should leave him wordless but I could feel him roll his eyes. Bennet huffed loudly. "Alright, alright. I'm gonna let you sleep. But are you coming tomorrow, right?" I asked hopefully.
"It's our graduation, how can I miss that?"I simply cannot accept the fact that it's already the time to close our high school books and head to college, in every corner of the country.
"I know... See you in a bit then " I replied and hang up.

" And now, our prom queen since freshman year, Cheryl Williams. "I took a deep breath after I stepped on the stage. I took my diploma and shake the principal hand, heading towards the microphone.
" My dearest friends and teachers. Four years ago I stepped in this high school without any knowledge of what Castleberry Junior high was going to lecture me about everything..." I took a deep breath and look towards the students."WHO CARES ABOUT THIS FELLAS? LETS GO PARTY! WE GRADUATE FOR GOD SAKE!!!! "Every student went wild, clapping me and cheering my name. This is the best day of my life.

" Guys!? Guys have you seen my unicorn? I kinda lost him."Bethany came towards as walking funny looking in every direction. She was holding a bottle of Jack Daniels in her hand. "How many glasses of this have you drank, Beth?" I asked her, helping my friends to put her in a chair. "Glasses? This is the second bottle! "She screamed laughing so hard.
" Um... Excuse me... Hello? Um... Hi... Can I please have your att-att-attention? "
Our attention was now towards the scene. A geek was at the microphone, trying to say something, but he was bullied. I never stood for bullying.
" Yo... Get off the stage. This is the after party, who invited you!?"A jock asked the guy."I did, I simply said, "walking towards the scene.
" Are you out of your mind, Cher?" The jock asked me. I simply gave him one of my celebrity smiles.
"I am your queen, this party wouldn't be if my dad didn't paid, so shut your mouth Daniel. And you, I turned towards the guy on the stage. Who are you? "I raised my eyebrow. He fixed his glasses and leaned a shaky hand towards me.
" I am the valedictorian, Philippe. "
I shake his hand and smile. "What is up, Philippe?"I asked the question that was on everyone mouths.
" I just wanted to say that...I HATE YOU! I hate every single one of you, well except for you, Cher. You never did anything wrong... "
Everyone gasped as Philippe got of the stage and exit the place. That is the definition of awkward. After a long moment of silence I decided that I should say something.
"OK guys, the party is going on and on!" I screamed and the music filled again the room and everyone was dancing, singing, drinking.

A girl rushed in the room desperate about something. She had a paper in her hand."What's up, Denise?" A girl asked.
Everyone turned their heads in Denise direction. "What's up? This is up!" She hold the paper up so everyone can see it.
It was a formal paper, with signatures and everything. I walked towards her and took the paper out of her hand. I start reading it. The music went off and everyone was silent.
"Another week of school?!" I screamed
"What?!" Everyone gasped and asked in the same time.
"It's look like", I took a deep breath, "that they found out about our exams, and that someone in this room gave us all the answers." Everyone in the room turned their heads to Rupert . The most rebel kid in the school and the one who broke into principal office and gave us all the answers. Gave them answers actually. I didn't need any.
"Rupert , did you did this?" I asked him.
"Of course not!" he defended himself "why would I do that? I was in the same situation as any of you."
I pointed a finger at him.
"I never cheated. Oh God"I huffed loudly. "Alright. Everyone who didn't cheated, hand up." Everyone was looking at their shoes.
"Really guys?! All of you?! And what am I suppose to do now?! Get back to school to take another exam I already take and had a good grade by my own?! You selfish bastards!" I screamed. No one even tried to say anything. I was the most popular girl in school, prom queen 4 years in a row, and the student president, and I knew everyone. No one stand a word against me.
"Okay... I will speak with the principal, in the name of all of us. I think Philippe got something to do with this. If anyone ask, no one got any answers before the exam, no one knows anything. Did I make myself clear?!" I asked angrily. Everyone agreed. I turned around and exit the room. Philippe, hide yourself, cause I am coming after you.
