Mistakes We Made (Glee FF/Sebastian Smythe) | ✓

35~ Graduation

A month passed after all this, and soon Sebastian was off his crutches, fully able to walk. His stitches had been removed and his casts were taken off. He looked just as good as he did before; only this time he shaved down his hair a bit. He was complaining how it was getting too long. Sometimes I think he's worse than any girl.

Today was the big day -- No, not my birthday, unfortunately that doesn't roll around 'till Thanksgiving -- it was Sebastian's graduation ceremony! And the day after tomorrow, we all hop on a train, taking Blaine with us of course, back to New York City!

"Does this look nice?" I asked Rachel as I came out of the bathroom, in a little black dress and my comic book converse. Those I customized myself.

"You look beautiful, what about me?" she asked as she twirled in her red spaghetti strap dress.

"Amazing. I feel like I'm going back to our graduation." I replied.

"Well, you did wear something similar to our graduation." she said as she looked me over.

"No this is the same dress, I just fixed it up with the lace." I said.

"Oh yeah, cute. Did you get Sebastian a grad present?" she asked me.

"Of course. Pete Linster hooked me up with another one of those fancy smanchy watches that his dad sells at Macy's." I replied.

"That's sweet. I just got him a theatre book about Broadway, special edition from Julliard." she said. Oh geez.

"Oh boy, well whatever you do, when he moves in with us, don't turn my boyfriend into a theatre geek. I won't be able to talk to him and I'll hate you for all eternity." I told her.

"I'll keep that promise, no assurnace from Kurt o Blaine." she replied.

"No, no, no, absotively not. I got to have a talk with them too." I said.

"I'm sure you will." she replied.

"Listen, I got something I wanna tell you." I said.

"What is it?" she asked.

"I got a phone call from Madamé Triveux, my headmaster..." I started.

"Oh my god, what happened?" she asked me.

"I'm showcasing my collection in the 2014 Summer Fashion Week, New York city!" after that, we both started screaming.

"May I present the graduating class of 2013!" the senior class stood along the stage in the auditorium, with a crowd of people applauding. Me and my friends were standing in the back with huge smiles and cheers of joy, it was amazing.

They threw their grad caps in the air, raining down on the crowd, including us. I caught one of the blue hats. Inside on the label were two letter marked in black sharpie.

What're the odds?

I met Sebastian back stage, with my friends following close behind.

"Congradulations!" I exclaimed as he picked me up, swining me around in the process. He was ecstatic that he finally graduated.

"C'mere big guy! Bring it in!" Blaine took his turn to man-hug him next. No seriously, they did that whole supposedly cool bro-hug thing.

"So, you ready to come to New York with us?" Rachel asked him.

"Yeah, anything I need to know before we jet off?" he asked nervously.

"Yeah, if you see a good looking blonde kid with amazing facial bone structure, kick him in the balls 'cause that might be my mugger." I replied. Kurt whapped the back of my head.

"You'll be fine, we'll watch your back." he said.

"Thanks guys. Hey listen, why don't we all go to Breadstix? It's on me." He suggested.

"No, no! You're graduating, we want to treat you. This is like your big grad meal!" Rachel said.

"Yeah, it'll be fun. But get yourself out of that gown first because we're not going anywhere if you look like that." Kurt said as he looked at the blue gown.

"Sounds good, give me five minutes." he said as he started to turn away.

"No! No! No! Wait! I got a surprise for you." I said. Sebastian smirked at me.

"What would that be?" he asked.

"Close your eyes." I sang. He shut his eyes, then Rachel handed me the surprise. What was the surprise? Here you go.

It was a red dye #6 slushie, dumped all over his head.

Sebastian coughed, then rubbed the red ice out of his eyes before opening them.

"Yup, I kind of deserved that didn't I?" he asked us.

"Now we're even." I said. 

"And yeah, you kind of did deserve that." Blaine added.

"I don't care. Best graduation present ever." he said as he kissed my cheek. I didn't realise though that the slushie had dripped down his grad gown, and when he leaned in to kiss me, the slushed gown was pressed up against my dress. And oh lord was that ice cold!

"Oh no! My dress!"

"Oh come on Reese, you can make another one!" Rachel said.

"Yeah, but this was cute!" I replied, trying not to laugh.

"Yeah, yeah, it's was cute. Come on, we'll get you two showered and re-dressed then we'll go out for dinner." Blaine said.

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
