"Okay everyone! Get your yearbooks!" Summer walked through the halls handing out yearbooks. "Here Tomiks." She handed one to me. "Thanks." I smiled as she continued to hand them out.

I started looking through the book. I saw so many memories of our class. From the first year, to our last. Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought of how it was all going to end. We're graduating tomorrow and its the last time I'm going to see my friends.

"Hey, Zack." I walked over to him as he was sitting down in front of the school. He noticed me and smiled. "Hey, babe." He said. "Did you get a year book?" I asked.

"Yeah, I saw your picture." He laughed. "Shut. Up." I said.

"Chill! It was adorable." He said and I punched his arm playfully. "Did you already pick up your cap and gown?" I asked. "Yep. Did you?" He asked. "Nah. I'm getting it after school." I said.

"Well we should get to our last day of school!" he stood up and I did too. We walked to Mr. Finn's class and sat down.

"I'm a little sad Mr. Finn never got his job back. And now we're leaving." Summer sighed coming In with Freddy. "Didn't you hear? he got back with his old band and they're better than ever." Lawrence said checking his laptop.

"What?" I rushed over to him and looked at his laptop. "WOAH! The Dewey Finn experience has over 2 million subscribers on YouTube. They're blowing up!" I said and everyone rushed over to see.

"I knew it. I knew he'd forget about us when he made it big. That's what they all do." Lawrence said coldly crossing his arms. "I can't believe he forgot about us." Freddy sighed. "After all we've done for him." I sat in my seat.

"Rock and Roll is dead." Zack said. 

We were all so mad at Mr. Finn, I don't know why though. He hasn't spoken to us for a while so we don't know if he forgot about us or not.

Since it was our last day of school, it was a half day. School ended at 11am instead of 3pm.

The last bell rang and I walked out of class with Zack.

"Wanna come with me to pick up my cap and gown?" I asked. "Sure." he replied and we started walking to the office. "Hi, my name is Tomika Young, I'm graduating tomorrow and I'm here to pick up my cap and gown." I told the lady at the front desk.

"Okay, whats your size?" She asked. "Large." I answered. "Wait, no. Large is too big." Zack cut in before she could go get it. "What do you mean? Large would be perfect." I said. "Tomika, mine is a medium. You need a small." he said and I rolled my eyes. He always thinks I'm so tiny.

"Get her a small." he told the lady and she nodded. She went to the back and brought out a size small cap and gown. "it if doesn't fit, come back by the end of the day to get a new size." She smiled and I took the gown.

"Why did you do that?" I asked as we walked away. "I couldn't let you order a larger size than mine." he said. "Well I know my size. I need a Large." I said. "no you don't. Who told you that?" he stopped.

"No one. Lets just go." I said. "No, did someone tell you something to make you want to order a large?" He asked. "No." I looked away. "You're lying. Tell me, T." he said. "Fine. One of the girls at Summer and Freddy's party called me fat. I just wanted to get a size that fits." I sighed.

"What? How could you not tell me? You're beautiful Tomika. When I look at you, I see nothing but my beautiful girlfriend. You're not fat at all." he said. "Thank you Zack." I smiled. "Now, lets go. We need to catch up with Summer and Freddy." he said and we started looking for the couple.
