    Today is the day when Blake and I celebrate with our family. Today is the day that I will be free and live. Most importantly, today is the day when I graduate high school. The graduation is in 3 hours. The girls and I are currently getting ready meanwhile the boys, as in Blake and Cole, get ready at Blake's place. I am wearing a white with black dress that shows off my curves and to top it off I am putting on black heels. The girls are doing their make up while I do my hair. I am thinking of doing my hair all curly since I have straight hair. The gown that we have to wear over our clothes is going to be red along with the cap.

   Right after I finish with my hair I do my make up. I put on a little bit of liquid foundation, mascara, blush, and lip gloss.

  I look over to the full length mirror and admire myself. I look amazing.

  Not to classy, not to trashy.

  "Ready? We have an hour and the ceremony is a long ride." Cece says from behind.  She is wearing her light green dress with her white heels and let me tell you she looks like a model.  Especially, with her perfectly straighten hair and her amazingly, well done make up.

  "Ready." Ariana says coming out from the bathroom.  She is wearing her purple long dress with her purple heels. She too looks like a model.  I can't wait to graduate already. Just a few more hours until I have freedom. And then go to college.  Urggg.

   When we arrive at the ceremony the guys are waiting for us at the entrance. They are all wearing a dress shirt with black pants and a red tie. They looks really hot. They might even be the models here. But, Blake is looking way more hot.

  "Hey, you look beautiful. " Blake says as I make my way over to him.

"Thanks. Your not looking so bad yourself. "

"Wait so you are saying I look bad, but not that bad. I am hurt, Summers." He puts his hand to his heart and wipes away a fake tear. Gosh, I love this boy.

   "Something like that." I joke. He kisses the side of my lip and takes my hand into his. We all walk inside the building and take our seats. Cece is in the back of us with Cole. I never knew this but turns out Cole always went here. Guess I never say him around. Aiden is somewhere in the crowd and Ariana is sitting right next to me along with Blake.

 

   It has been about an hour into the ceremony and its finally time to go on stage and get our diplomas.

"Michael Stevens."

"George Sammul."

"Ariana Marris."

"Riley Summers." As I go on stage I face the ground and four people catch my eye.

No fucking way.

It can't be.

It is.

Right there in the middle screaming out my name and cheering are Tyler, Olivia, Madison, and Christian. 

There. Back.

Holy Crap.

I walk down from the stage and before I know what I'm doing,  I go over to them and pull them into a huge hug. I may not like Christian much but he is still like family. I start tearing up and pull away kissing all of them of the cheek and hugging them one las time.

  "Gross, you got lip stick all over my cheek." Ty and Chris both say in unison. The girls and I laugh at their stupidity.

  "Its lip gloss, not lip stick. Big difference." We say at the same time causing all of us to laugh.

"How did you get here?" I ask.

"We Co miss it for the world. I begged mom and she finally gave in. I called them and they said and I quote 'fucking yes!' "  Madison says. I laugh and give them one last hug before going back to my place and telling them I will see them shortly.

   "If you are done, Miss Summers I would like to finish this ceremony today not in a year." the principal jokes.

"Ok back to were I was."

"Blake Collins." I get up and yell at the top of my lungs.

"If I could I have something to say, please, sir." Blake tells Mr . Vales.  Mr. Vales passes him the microphone and Blake begins speaking.

  "This is for, Riley Summers, the love of my life." I think I let the waterworks out already.

"Riley, get your ass up here." He says, and I do just that. "When I first laid my eyes on you I thought that you were the one. You had to be. I mean the way that your eyes sparkled and light up. And whenever I would touch you I would feel electricity going up through my arms and down my back. And the hairs on my back would stand up. " He takes a beep breath before he continues.  "There is no other girl in the world that I have met that is as smart, loving, kind, responsible...at times, and beautiful.  Riley Summers, I have only been in love once, and I thought that I would never fall in love again. But you changed that. Yes, we fight, say stupid things, but that doesn't mean that I am not in love...that we aren't in love. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Riley. And the only way that I will know that you are mine is if....is if you marry me." I gasp along with everyone else at what he said. Did he just ask me to marry him.

  "So...Riley Summers, will you marry me?" He bends out in one knee and takes out a small square box. It's definitely not a dream. I didn't realize that I was taking long until he said something that made everyone laugh including the teachers.

  "Will you just give an answer, my knee is getting nub and its a bit hot down hear."

  "Yes. I will marry you." He gets up and kisses my cheek. I hear everyone cheering and applausing. I feel a single tear running down my cheek and Blake wipes it away.

"I hope those are tears of joy." He states.

"They are."

"If you two are done, I would like to continue this ceremony." We face the principal and laugh at his face expression. We nod and go take our seats.

  "Graduates, if you would please rise and move your string to your right side." We all do as told. "Lady's and gentlemen, I would like to present the class of 2014."

We all cheered and through our caps up into the air. Blake grabbed me by the waist and spun me around. I squealed and when he put me down he pecked my lips.

  "No matter what college we go to, we're always together. I love you." He whispers into my ear.

  "I love you." I say back meaning every word.

                          "Always and forever."
