"We really graduating today." I said looking at Sam getting a little emotional.
"Dont start that crying shit girl but its been a long time coming. Im glad I moved here and met you though." She told me giving me a hug and leaving out to go get dressed.
This shit feel so crazy. I feel good about today, Im graduating top ten of my class at a fresh 17. I couldn't be more proud of myself. This day is the start of the rest of my life.
I got out of my thoughts and got dressed. My hair and makeup was already done so when my mom walked in I was almost ready.
"Im so proud of you." She said sounding like she was tearing up. I just turned around gave her a hug. She may not be the best mom all the time but she young, she learning just like I am.
"I love you mom." I said kissing her forehead.
"I love you too more than you think." She said before grabbind the robe and helping me put it on. After we fixed the graduation cap on my head we headed out.
I looked next door to see Sam and her family already gone. I couldn't wait to walk across this stage. I know Kentrell was already seated, he said he had a big head of me but I didn't believe him.
I met Sam in the front of the building and grabbed her hand as we walked into the building together. We sat down on the chairs with our last name on them. My name would be called directly after hers.
"Everybody please be seated, so we can start calling the names of the graduates." Our principal said on the mic making everybody sit immediately.
It took them about 20 minutes to get to me and Sam names.
"SAMATHA RENEE CHERRY!" The principal said before it seemed like the whole building erupted in screams for her.
"CHEYENNE MARIE CONNOR!" The principal said making me walk across the stage. I blew a kiss to Kentrell who was holding the big head as he told me doing what he liked to call his "diddy bop".

After graduation was over we walked to the front of the building to meet our families. I seen my mom and Kentrell waiting for me with Sams family next them along with Trey and Choppa there also.
"Um hey y'all." We spoke and they all began to cheer for us again making us laugh.
"Forreal though bae, congratulations." Kentrell said walking up to me and kissing me.
"Thanks." I smiled, hugging him.
"I got your present later." He whispered in my ear before kissing it.
"Move Kentrell, so I can take her picture and post it on facebook for her dirty ass grandma." My mama said making me laugh.
"Okay and send it to me." I said before smiling into her iphone8 camera. She snapped it then immediately sent it to me.
