Eily's Pov

I was sleeping peacefully, then I heard the screams of my Uncle.

Yan: AHHHHHHHHHH!
Me: huhhh
Yan: AHHHHHHHHHH

Uncle Yan came to the side of my bed and started shaking the hell outta me.

Yan: Wakeeee upppppp! It's graduation dayyyyyyy!! Get Ready!!!!
Me: huhhhh
Yan: Gurl, I know you heard me. Hurry up and get up for I cook a pancake and slap you with it!!!

I opened my eyes and looked up at him.

Me: Child abuse...

I closed my eyes back.

Yan: Eilyyyyy, get upppp nowwwww. It's 11:00 and we gotta leave at three, and you know it takes you bout half a day to get ready for something.

I got up slowly.

Me: Ughhhhhhhh
Yan: There ya go, now start getting ready 😊.

He left and I started getting ready. I had to take a shower, brush my teeth, do my hair, which took sooo lonnggggg, and put on my clothes. In all, it took about almost 5 hours to do, and I finished just in time. I think the boys were down there already finished.

Anthony: EILY, HURRY YO ASS UP! IT DONT TAKE DET LONG TO DO ALLAT!!!
Me: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

I walked downstairs and they looked shocked.

Uncle: Oh my goshh, is this actually my niece looking so beautiful? I think it is!

He came and hugged me.

Uncle: If only your mother was here to witness this moment...

He started tearing up.

Me: Awww, don't cry. You gonna make me cry already...
Uncle: I'm sorry , you've just really grown up, I just can't believe it...

I looked up at the living room table and seen a letter. It looked like my name was on it, and it was from the school.

Me: Hey, what's that?
Anthony: Oh it's a letter that came in the mail for you, like 3 days ago.
Me: Boy , why didn't you give it to me??
Anthony: Because I forgot. I ordered some shoes, so I check the mailbox and it wasn't there, it was only that letter. And then I had to hurry and get back on fornite-
Me: Anthony, just hushhhhh.

I picked up the letter and read it.

"Dear Eily Imolehin,

Congratulations on being the top of your class! You have shown hard work this year and have recieved many awards for that. You are going to graduate, and take an even bigger step in life. We would like to notify you that on the date of the Senior Graduation Night, May 24, that since you are number one of your class, you will be doing a speech about this school and your success, or anything related to that. It is an absolute honor to do this, and we understand that some people may feel uncomfortable doing this type of thing infront of huge crowds. So, on note of that, if you would prefer not to do this, please communicate to any Burbank High School Staff by May 24, 12:00 AM. Finally, we would like to thank you for being a hard working student for the years you've been at school. It is truly an honor for you and everyone else around you.

Sincerely,

Principal Kevin Porter and the rest of Burbank High School Faculty."

Me: Oh Anthony, you really got me messed up...
Anthony: What? It ain't my fault.
Me: I gotta do this speech , and I don't even know what to say exactly.
Yan: It has to come from your heart. Look I know this may look or sound hard to you, but all you need is your confidence, and for you to be calm. You got this man!
