Chapter fourteen: Graduation day

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: GRADUATION DAY

"We're graduating!" Mari yelled as she flew to her classroom

All her classmates were inside and preparing themselves. They all wore togas with different designs and colors symbolizing their powers as well as their individuality.

"Mari! We're really graduating!" Alexa added, "I don't know about you guys, but I don't know what I'll do without all of you!"

"Aw, Lexie, don't be sad. We'll plan a reunion in a year or so." Sophia said

"Yeah, that and you'll ruin your make up once more because of crying." Alexander stated while the whole class laughed at this

-

"Hey, Tooth, so here I am, this is probably the last time I'll be here though. Why? Well, it's graduation day." Jack said

He had on a white long sleeved polo, a black necktie, black formal pants and black leather shoes. In his arms were his light blue toga decorated with various white snowflakes.

"I guess this really is goodbye." Jack frowned, "Anyway, I do hope I'll see you again, even if it's a last chance, think we could see each other this weekend?" Jack waited, "Yeah, I guessed so. Anyway, the others are probably looking for me. It was nice while it lasted, Tooth."

Jack stood up and flew over to the opened window in their classroom.

"Well, what do you know, mister salutatorian would come after all." Bunny said, a light smirk on his face

"Why wouldn't I come in the day where I actually beat Scarlett on something without anybody's help?" Jack chuckled

"Alright now, salutatorian, after Yolly you go." Sheila said, patting Jack's back

Jack lined up behind Yolly at the door.

"Ready?" North asked

"Yes, sir North." the class responded

Yolly marched out of the room followed by Jack, then by the rest of their classmates in alphabetical order. They walked to the school's auditorium and saw that the other students were already there, all of them wearing the same kind of toga per type of power. They sat down on the first row, behind them sat the class a mermaids.

"Not bad, Frost." Scarlett said, "Is Queen Ana coming?"

"I have no clue." Jack shook his head no

-

Step... Step... Step...

I stood in front of the same institution I have entered four years ago but now with a different purpose. Before, it was to get away from responsibility, to feel a sense of freedom, to find someone to share my freedom with, but now, it was nothing but responsibility, it was everything but freedom, and it was anything except finding someone to share my freedom with.

But it was the only thing that I would want right now.

-

"I introduce to you, the graduates of the class of one of a kinds. Yolly Michaelis Sparks, class valedictorian and Jackson Overland Frost, class salutatorian."

Both boys gave a bow to the applauding crowd.

"That's our boys!" Alexa yelled gleefully

Jack and Yolly looked at each other with amused grins.

-

"Here is the class salutatorian, Jackson Frost, to give you a farewell address."

A round of applause was heard from the crowd as Jack went up the stage and onto the podium.
