Yasmin's POV

I was sitting in class with Destiny, KP, Andrew, Caleb, Dave, and James. We was all in our thoughts wondering what will happen because after tomorrow's graduation we will be high school students. Part of me didn't want to leave because me and Mr. K has been staying after school once a week and we've gotten so close. I've slowly started falling for him.

KP: Can you believe tomorrow's our last day here?

Destiny: No kidding...I wonder what high school is like?

Andrew: I bet it's awesome

Caleb: I bet I'm gonna be popular there *smirks*

Me: lunch ladies don't count Caleb * the others laugh*

KP: I'm kinda scared

James: Don't worry I'll be with you *they both smile*

Dave: Why don't you both just go out already? *they blush while we laugh*

The class went by so quick and in english class the teacher pulled Destiny aside and we waited for in the hallway. I hope we didn't get her in trouble for talking in class. Destiny walks out and looks at us. "Is everything ok Destiny?" James asked and we look at her. She nods," I was asked to read my poem at tomorrows graduation as the opening speech". We all hug her, " WOW DESTINY THAT'S AMAZING NEWS" I say. "I bet the family will record it and it will go down in history" KP says.

We finally leave school and head home and Destiny is coming with us because her dad said to come to our house. We go inside and see everyone there and Uncle Liam says," Girls please have a seat". We walk to the living room and sit down and look at him

Liam: Girls I have amazing news...we are going to start tour early and tomorrow our first show is here in the hometown so it helps give us time to pack.

Me: That's great what time is it?

Louis: That's the bad part girls...it's the same time as your graduation *Me and KP look at Destiny and you can see the disappointment on her face*

Destiny: *fakes a smile* It's ok it's only middle school...I hope you guys have fun

KP: But Destiny....

Destiny: *interrupts* KP it's ok I'm sure they will do fine *letting us know to drop it*

Zayn saw the look in our eyes but said nothing. After they was done we left to go to my room and I layed down on my bed," Destiny...why didn't you tell them?" I say and she looks at the ground," because its more important they do the concert". I groaned after she said that. KP said,"but wouldn't it mean more to you if they saw you do your speech tomorrow?" and I look at Destiny," yes it would".

Liam's POV

Todays the day of the concert and we scheduled it to be earlier because Zayn overheard the girls talking and there was no chance I was gonna miss my babygirl do her speech. Right now we are setting up and rehearsing. After what seemed like forever and the concert was finished we rushed to the school and sat in the back and we all pulled out our camera's to record it. One by one the graduates made their way in and sat in their seat and the principal got on stage after talking for a few minutes she introduced her..my babygirl.

Yasmin's POV

As I walked past the teachers to my seat Mr. K slipped a note in my hand and I hid it until we sat down. I decided to read it while everyone else was listening to the principal.

"Yazzy,

This was the most amazing year of teaching and I have to thank you for that one. I've never had a student with so much passion and love in her heart. It's gonna be hard to teach without you here but I wish you the best in high school.

Mr. K

p.s. meet me in the classroom after graduation if you want a proper goodbye"

I smile at the note and put it in my pocket as the principal finishes and says," And now the opening speech/poem from Destiny Lily Payne" Hehe I forgot Uncle Liam chose my moms favorite flower as her middle name. She walks on stage and she takes a deep breath.

Destiny:

Throughout our lives

We each carry our destiny

Some to follow, Some to lead

Some to help those in need

From the moment we are born

it is marked from the start

We are told to follow our heads

but not our hearts

No matter what we do

No matter how hard we fight

History repeats itself

Throughout generations and time

You may have a world against you

But you will be just fine

Because nobody can stop you

From who you was meant to be

Because only you can change

Your faith and destiny!

we all stood and clapped and I could hear Uncle Liam say,"That's My Girl" She looks down and blushes and walks off stage. After we all grabbed our diplomas we took a few pictures and I told them I would be right back. I rushed to the classroom to see him holding a rose, he walks over and hands it to me. " Congrats on your graduation" he said. I looked at him and I knew this was the last time so he had to know," Mr. K...I love you...I had a crush on you since the day I first saw you but when we started hanging out I fell more and more into you and I..." He stopped me by kissing me on the lips.

People say they feel fireworks when you kiss someone you love, not me I felt bombs it was much bigger than fireworks. I looked at him and he looked at me," I love you too Yazzy" he says and he gives me his number,"make sure to keep in contact" I nodded and hugged him. I walked back out before my family tried to look for me. KP sees the rose and she gives me a weird look but left it alone.

As we was about to leave a girl walks up to Caleb and smacks him," you two timing womanizer..I heard you cheated on me with my best friend and wasn't going to take care of the baby" she says and we look at him and I speak up," um..before I do something I might regret who are you and what baby are you talking about?". She looks at me," I'm Coralynn Elliot and this jackass pretended to be a high school student a few weeks ago and he got me pregnant" she says.

"We will talk about this when we get home" Uncle Liam says to Caleb and he looks at the girl," don't worry he will take care of it" and with that we left and the car ride was dead silent. We got home and Uncle Liam and Louis takes him to the bathroom. I didn't want to hear the noise to we went to KP's room and walking past her room we saw it. We rushed back downstairs to see Caleb having a hard time sit and we look at everyone," The flowers bloomed" we say. Liam rushes to see if it's true and he smiles," the search begins tomorrow" We all nod looking forward to the exciting adventure.
