{chapter 15} Graduation

Today is the day. The day I graduate. I was getting ready in my room. I had my hair and makeup done and all I needed was to put on my dress. It was my favorite dress. I put it on and grabbed my shoes and walked downstairs. "Oh Ava you look so pretty. I can't believe today is the day." My mom said looking at me when I was walking down the stairs. "Thank you mom." I said pausing and looking at her. Once I got down I put on my shoes. I grabbed my cap and gown off the couch. I got into the car and my mom drove to the school.

My mom walked in to find a seat and I stayed in the cafeteria. I found Abby and Wyatt. I took some pictures with them. We started talking about the random things. I was getting nervous. Luckily Wyatt was there to help calm me down. Soon after we had to get in alphabetical order. Wyatt was in the beginning, I was in the middle and Abby was in the back. Separated by the whole school. I heard the principal get started. She gave a little speech. Than I heard that she called the first name which means that we had got started . It took a little bit but then I hread Wyatt Brooks and a lot of clapping. I felt so proud. It took awhile to get close to me. Ava Lewis. I walked across the stage and shook the principal hand and grabbed my diploma. I did it. I finally graduated. I walked of stage and sat down in my set. I watched everyone else. Finally it was Abby's turn. Abby walker. She walked across the stage and except her diploma. The rest of school went. More people gave speech's. We sang the school song and we threw our caps.

We went out for lunch after. "I can't believe that we graduated. It's happy amd sad at the same time." I said sitting down to eat. "I just can't wait to get to college but I know it's not going to but fun." Abby said before she before taking a bit of food. We stared to eat. The food was good. I know I'm going to miss my mom homemade food because college food is nothing like food. Today has been good. A day I will remember for a life time. I got the picture of us printed and framed and it's stitting on my deask. I was looking out my window thinking about college.

Summer. My favorite time of the year. The beach, the lakes, the sunsets. Everything I just what to live in summer all the time. I'm having the best time. Your senior summer has to be bitter sweat. It's your last summer in high school. But than you have to go of to college. I know it is for me.

I have most of my things packed amd ready to go. I'm keeping a lot of things at home but I'm also taking a lot of things with me. Tomorrow I leave for college. It's exciting and scaring at the same time. I grabbed the last box and started taking the important things that I need with me at college. I go to my deask amc put some decorations in the box. Than I get to the pictures. All the memories come back. The kindergarten, fifth grade graduation, homecoming, and now graduating high school. All of them went into the box. I closed it and put it by my door. I also but my backpack by the door. I go to my bathroom to take off my makeup and brush my teeth. I'm going to miss having my own bathroom. I walk to my bed to fall asleep. I got a text on your group chat.

Abby: I'm excited to see you all tomorrow, especially moving in with you Ava.

Me: ya I'm excited to. I can't wait.

Wyatt: I'm jealous of you two.

Abby: why? Because you can't live with your girlfriend? Or because I found Ava first?

Wyatt: yes but one day it will happen one day. And no we found her at the Sammie time.

Me: stop fighting over me!! You both found me and become friends at the same time.

Abby: but...

Wyatt: haha.

Me: no I'm right and that's it. I what to get some sleep because tomorrow is a big day and I have to get up early. See you all tomorrow. Goodnight.

Wyatt: goodnight.

Abby: goodnight.

I put my phone down and turned over to see Wyatt sweatshirt in my face. I grabbed it and snuggled with it. It helps me fall asleep. This is something I can't leave behind. I eventually fall asleep. But what feels like an hour my alarm goes off. I set up in bed and I realized that today I got to college.
