Brynn's pov:
Today was my second to last exam for my first year of college. Today's exam was for my photography class. I sat in my apartment, working on the final bit of my portfolio. I glued the last picture to the portfolio, letting it dry, before I shut it. Morgan came into the living room from her bedroom, quietly going to the kitchen to get some food. After she got her food, she came over, setting a cup of coffee and an açaí bowl that had açaí, banana, coconut water, and pineapple. I thanked her, before I wrote my name and class in cursive onto the front cover of my portfolio.

After I had went to my final and turned my portfolio in, Morgan and I went to get our second cup of coffee, as well as some food. We went to our favorite cafe, ordering a cheeseburger with lettuce and mayo, as well as a side of fries to go. We took our food back to our apartment, sitting at the kitchen island to study while we eat.

Aiden's pov:
Today, was the senior award banquet at school. I changed into a white dress shirt and dress pants, while Carter was in my bathroom changing. Carter came out of my bathroom, wearing a light pink off-the-shoulder dress with navy blue heels. Her hair was curled with a pink scrunchie in her hair. I took her hand, grabbing my keys and wallet, before leaving my house. I drove to the school, parking in the parking lot behind the auditorium. We got out of my jaguar, going inside of the auditorium. We sat towards the front, in about the third row.

"Good evening, students and their families. Today we are here to give out our senior awards. We are going to begin with our medals for summa cum laude," our principal said.

She moved back, letting our vice principal go to the podium.

"Dylan Bochetti, senior class historian, Brooke Jennings, senior class treasurer, Hazel Mitchell, senior class secretary, Aiden Hall, senior class vice president , and Carter Rae, senior class president are our summa cum laude students who all received a 4.0 this year," our vice principal said, as we walked up on stage to get our medals.

"We have one last scholarship to give out and we would like to have Mrs. Gwen Rae present it," our principal said, as Carter's mom walked up the stairs of the stage.

"This student I've known for a very long time. I can tell you that this student works very hard from school to work to the clubs and organizations to the sports that they are in. This student is president of 4 clubs and is also an officer of the senior class. They have received a full scholarship from UCLA for their excellent hard work. It is my honor to present this to my very own daughter, your senior class president, Carter Rae," her mom said, as we all stood up and clapped.

Carter walked up the stairs to get her certificate in complete tears. We all clapped because we were all really proud of her. When she came back to where we were sitting, I wiped her tears away, before congratulating her.

Gwen's pov:
I currently had taken the day off, so that I could go shopping for a wedding dress with my youngest. We looked through the dresses, pulling out ones for Carter to try on. She went into the dressing room. She came out when she tried a new one. The last one she came out in, was so beautiful.

"I think this is the one mum," she said, twirling around in the dress.

It was a lace top with a long pink skirt dress that was just absolutely stunning on her. She went back into the dressing room, changing back into the romper that she had been wearing. She brought the dress out, and we went to the cashier to purchase the dress. The cashier put the dress into a dress bag, zipping it up, handing Carter the bag.

*the next day* (May 14)
Isabella's pov:
I sat in my math class, working in my math homework. Mrs. Wagner came around, checking our homework from last night. She checked my paper, writing 9/10 with a smiley face next to it. Soon, the bell rang meaning class was over. It was finally time for lunch, and I was starving. I walked across the hall to my home room, grabbing my lunchbox out of my cubbie. I walked out of the classroom, going to the cafeteria. By the time I got there, my twin sister was sitting next to her best friend Sloan. I sat next to Madison, opening up my lunchbox. In my lunchbox, was a pizza grilled cheese, strawberries, broccoli, and a Capri sun. After I finished my lunch, I threw away my trash, cleaning up my area.

Carter's pov:

"Good evening, fellow classmates, faculty, and families. Today, we are here to celebrate the class of 2027. I am Carter Rae, the senior class president. Four years ago, we walked into this school as freshman. We went through friendships, relationships, classes, and the many sports and clubs that a lot of us were in. We had friendships disappear, but we made sure to make a whole lot more. Senior year came way too fast for a lot of us. I want to thank each and every single one of you for all of the memories that we had made," I said, before going to sit down.

After all the rest of the class officers did their speeches, we walked down the ramp to the front of the podium.

"Carter Ruby Rae: summa cum laude, Aiden Troy Hall: summa cum laude, Hazel Grace Mitchell: summa cum laude, Brooke Kiara Jennings: summa cum laude, Dylan Alaina Bochetti: summa cum laude," our ROTC teacher announced, singly, before we walked across the stage.

After everyone had walked across the stage, I walked back up to the podium.

"It is with honor that I get to say this. Graduates please move your tassel from right to left. I now declare you graduates," I said, moving my tassel
