THE SPAWN OF THE GRIM REAPER

Epilogue

Tears. I cried real tears.

I was at the entrance of the auditorium were the graduation was taking place. I cried and hugged my squad as I saw them walk in before the ceremony. First to come in was Luna. She found her mate and we were all happy for her. She squealed when she saw me and I did also. Next was Shania who ran up and hugged us both almost making us fall down. Last one was Diana who jumped on us and we fell down. We all laughed on the floor while mom took pictures on dad recorded our special and maybe last encounter.

We got up when the principal spoke. He greeted the two top students who were Gonzo and I. Instead of locking shoulders like we were told to do we held hands. I blushed while he looked proud and everyone cheered and shouted congratulations. Every walked in and sat down.

"Welcome family, friends and well wishers to our 2019 senior class graduation. Class of 2019 please stand. Now turn your ribbons to the right." Everyone cheered once again. We all sat down and I was called up with Gonzo to present our speech.

I started it off.

"Welcome everyone to a another milstone in our young lives. My name is Catherine.."

"My name is Muhammad and we are going to be your narrators for this evening."

"There have been many trails and errors but that alone doesn't define us as individuals."

"It's what on the inside that determines your fate and role in life. Once again I'm Muhammad."

"And I'm Catherine. Welcome and help us celebrate." Everyone clapped and I can hear my mom shouting in the background.

Everyone went up and grabbed their trophies and diplomas. It was my turn.

"Catherine Howard-Grim" I stood up and Shania was screaming with Diana and Luna.

"Catherine life started off in London, Manchester. As a little girl she was always unique and stood out from the rest. Her love and 100% scores for Theatre,Sciences as well as Business and Mathematics helped her gain a scholarship to her dream University in New York. She has always been competitive but gracious as well. She is part of our track female team and won all of her races wearing Gold. Catherine don't forget who you are and the family and friends that will help you in your journey." I hugged Ms. Belweather as I started crying. I accepted my awards. Next was Gonzo and the teacher to present his awards was Coach Westen.

"Muhammad Rodrìguez." He stood up from next to me and winked at me. My face red as a tomato as everyone laughed at my embarrassed face. His friends hollered his nickname.

"Muhammad life started of in The heart of Cuba. As a little boy he would always get himself in trouble not only with his teachers but with any person who challenged him. His love and 100% for Business, Sciences, Mathematics and Physical Education also got him a scholarship for his dream school in Rome. He is very competitive but loyal as well. He is part of our track male team and won all of his races also wearing Gold. Muhammad don't forget who you are and never stop being the strong headed man I've gotten so used to know." Everyone clapped and the ceremony ended. My family drove home with all of my friends in the car.

"Girl I can't believe this is gonna be the last time we can see each other face to face." Luna cried and hugged me. They helped me pack and we all headed for the airport. Once we reached the airport I saw a poster and Gonzo holding it up.

I rushed out the car and ran towards him with all of my suitcases. I jumped and kissed him. He spinner me around while smothering me with kisses.

"I'm going to miss this so much. Remember to face time me everyday. Ok and don't forget to text." I cut him off with another kiss.

"I won't." The flight I'm going on called it final called and I hugged everyone then left. The same feeling coming in came rushing out as I left my life behind.

Time to write a new chapter in my life....
