The graduation ceremony finally ends after what feels like ages in this humid,scalding and disastrous heat. Parents leave plastic white chairs they had uncomfortably sat in for an hour and reunite with kids who are impatient to go off to the graduation party.
The graduation party is a hotel room filled with half wasted teenagers and a DJ who really just plays songs on YouTube from his laptop.
Thus, I opted out of the tradition.
I a will not be attending the graduation party , thinking of this I look for my best friends Jade and Hayley who are taking to my brother Caleb.Next to them are our parents who were of course the loudest ones in the room while receiving our certificates ,this is of course courtesy of having Cuban,Mexican and Indian parents sit together.
I bid adieu to classmates realizing I won't be seeing them tonight or ever again
"Hey you guys printed out the tickets,the Emirates ID and passport just in case right?"I recheck with my mother
"Yes,yes,yes. Calm down would ya, you've asked me 10 times and it's as if we've never traveled before".
"Sorry , I'm just nervous".
I honestly am,I have never traveled by myself before,of course I have my friends with me but it's just a revelation that I'll be doing a lot of things without my parents there for me now.
"You know, usually it's the mother that's worried".
"Your right,you weren't praying over my bed last night while you thought I was sleeping"
"I don't what your talking about"she said looking haughtily everywhere other than myself.
"Never mind that,why were you not sleeping?"my father butts in as always intervening on my health and safety. Doctors I tell ya.
"I just remembered I had to ask Aunt Valentina something"I say making my parents of course roll their eyes at me and laugh as I always escape the awkward conversations.
"Aunt Valentina,I haven't seen Alec anywhere,do you know where he is?"
"Miha I'm sure Alejandro went to get something from the car,Ah there he is".
I turn around and there he is,smiling a secret smile as if he knows something I don't.
"I got you something,I know there's a no Graduation Present Rule but it's just a little something to keep you at home "
He hands me a small yellow box with a ribbon on it and I smile as I take of the cover of the box,inside is pick sized credit card.
"How we met".I say
