The Eternal Lock: Chapter 14. Lets Face It

Chapter 14. Lets face it.

I re read over the lyrics for the one hundredth time. Even though I know the song like the back of my hand, I have always thought that was a stupid saying, anyway back to the topic. I know the song like the back of my hand, maybe I am being a bit paranoid, but hey if you had to sing at your high school graduation. An entire song all by yourself in front of hundreds of people. That couple hundred audience members includes all the students in your grade that you have hated, that have bullied you, and made the past five years of your life a living hell, and teachers you have also hated, and of coarse parents. Yeah i think i have the right to be nervous and not want to mess up. Stupid music teacher. Why did she choose me of all the people? ME!?! I cant even sing. she probably wants to embarrass me on my final night of school, just before I can get out of the damn hell hole. One last embarrassment for Michelle Rivers. I never liked her and she never liked me, so it makes sense. I put the lyrics down and rub my face. Graduation starts in a couple hours. I stand up from my comfy crossed legged sitting position on the floor. I look at my self in my full length mirror leaning against my wall. I look at the dress mother made me wear which is a strapless black lace kinda dress that is tight against body until my waist where is puffs out, and it stops just above me knees, like every dress girls wear these days. So original mum. She let me have whatever shoes and bag and stuff like that I wanted so I have a pair of red vans. -Even thought i prefer converse, vans looks better with dresses- a red coke or coka-cola, if you wish brand clutch bag. Its really cool. And a black hat, red lipstick, an 'i am happy' ring, black bracelets, and the necklace Nate gave me. I run down stairs ready to leave.

I open the car door and step out with only my shaking legs to hold up all my weight. I grab the weird graduation hat that we have to wear from mums extended hand, thank god we don't have to wear the gown. I slowly began to make my way towards the giant heavy metal assembly hall doors. Are they supposed to look inviting? Shouldn't I feel more excited that I'm going to my graduation. I finally get out of school, away from those hundreds of little satans. I should be jumping with joy, running towards the doors, but why am I walking slowly, shoulders hunched over. Scared. I'm scared. These five years have sucked and I have hated every seconds of it, even milliseconds, but I'm scared to leave. I'm graduating, I'm actually graduating. Without him. Without Nate. If he was here i wouldn't be scared, I would feel safe. Because I would know that I would be ending school going into the big world with guidance from my best friend. Yes I have my mother, but Nate is my second half, no one, not even my own mother could replace that.

I walk up on to the stage where other students are starting to find there seats. We have to sit in alphabetical order, so I find the 'R's and pull the sign with the word 'Rivers' printed across it off and sit down in the seat. After dreading for what felt like 2 hours for this thing to start. I check my iPhone and see it's 6:30 so it should start in a sec. Damn it, cant it start in another hour or som-

"Ok everyone sit down. Quiet now" announces the principles voice as it booms through the mic speacker.

Everyone does as said. The ceremony begins, and the goody two-shoes, but she is a total bitch/cow Bethany walks up and begins her speech about flowers, rainbows, unicorns, hard work, and how perfect she is in everyway. Echh. Could life get anyworse. Just kidding, i know worse. I zone out from then on.

I'm looking out the big glass window on the wall opposite the stage. Looking at the beautiful night, at the stars I can see in the distant sky. Trying to distract myself from my performance, trying to distract my bothered mind. It looks so peaceful, like the world has no problems at all. No cancer, no hunger, no death, everything perfect, why cant the world be free of crime, and the constant disappointment that life is? Why?

I feel my phone vibrate in jean shorts that I wore under my dress, what I'm not flashing anyone tonight. I look at the student around me to see if they would notice me on my phone, but they are all tranced by Bethany's 'beautiful' speech. I pull out my phone slowly and discretely, the one good thing about having a last name towards the end of the alphabet i have 13 letters in front of my own which has about 10 (or more) students to each. So that causes me to be near the back of the set of seats, where none of the audience or teachers can see my texting and actions. Its great. I turn my phone on mute. Just in case. I see the text sent by Nate light up my screen. I slide it across the screen and type in my pass word, to be met with the full wording of Nate's text message

"😈 Having fun 😈" i read.

"Oh I'm having a blast" I type them in, and then smile at my idea "I never realised how hot the guys in my grade were. Wow 😱" I hit send and hide my phone under my leg and pretended to look like I was listening to her speech. Honestly how long is her speech? We are going to hit the 10 minute mark soon.

I feel the vibration from under my thigh. I whip out my phone excited to text Nate. This is as close as I'm going to get to talking to him. I type in the password and see the large words show up across my iPhone screen.

"Oh I'm sure they are, well good luck with graduation"

"Well I have to go, I have some hot boys to make out with. Haha. Love ya. Bye 😝" I hit send and shove my phone in my pocket. Sad that the conversation was ended so quickly. A few minutes later a feel a vibration on my leg and smile, knowing its Nate. Cause lets face it. I don't get texts.
