*1 year later*

This year it was time for Camila and Dinah to graduate. Everyone was there. Ally, Austin, Alex, Normani, Lauren, the Polys, and of course the families. It was an emotional drive over. Before they drove over to the school, Camila's dad got really sentimental, which was a little... weird.

"Come here Camila, Alejandro said pulling Camila into a smothering hug.

"Dad. You're suffocating me," she managed to squeeze out.

"Oh I'm sorry mija. It's just that your growing up so fast," he said as he wiped a tear from his face.

"I'm only graduating dad."

More tears spilled from his eyes, Sinu comforted him, "What your father means, sweetheart, is that this is a big time in your life and no matter what you'll always be our little princessa."

"Ok..." Camila said as she looked around for her graduation cap, "Sofi are you ready to go?"

"Yeah," Sofi said as she came down stairs humming the wedding song that's played when the bride walks down the aisle.

"Awww. Are you gonna marry your barbies or something?" Camila said jokingly.

"What?! No. It's cause, "Sofi started but then she saw her parents giving her the death stare, "Oh right. Well yeah then. My barbies are getting married," she said winking to her parents.

Camila looked at Sofi and her parents suspiciously, but then shrugged it off. They all got in the car and drove to the school, where Camila went to sit with the other seniors. She saw Austin in the crowd and waved. She smiled knowing he came to her graduation even though he's been super busy since his YouTube videos of him singing have been discovered. He's been on a bunch of mini tours to meet his YouTube fans, but he came back just for her. Well he should of, they were dating after all. The ceremony started and Camila waited patiently to get her diploma. She got it first out of her and Dinah, You could hear her family scream along with her friends, especially Austin. Then she sat back down. When Dinah went to get he's you could hear her large families doing that amazing Polynesian shout each time. By the end of it everyone who received a diploma was full of pride. They watched as the valedictorian went up to give her speech, and what do ya know?! Dinah was the valedictorian.

"Friends and family, I am Dinah Jane Hansen. Now I know what you're thinking right now. Why did she say her full name? Well the answer to that is, I did not say my full name. I only said half of my full name. Yes, yes, I know. Why did she have to explain that to us? Well truth be told, I needed a reason to start talking about my culture, because I think that is gonna be able to explain how this year went for me very well. My culture consists of many things: being LDS, coming from a middle income family, and most of all being Polynesian. Coming from a Polynesian family I was taught to always respect your elders, especially your parents. Since that's what I was always taught, I've always listened to my mom when she said to study or when she said I'd regret it if I came home with anything below a B. At the time I hated it, but now... well now I thank her for it. I'm sure my culture is not the only one that does this. I've seen the many cultures that reside at the school. And in all cultures I know parents are always important. Even though in some cultures kids don't always show it. On behalf of all my fellow seniors, of many cultures, I want to thank all you parents who pushed us to do our best even when we acted out.  Or if we mouthed off. I'd also like to thank our teachers who've probably had to deal with us even more than our parents had to. Because when we're at home all we do is sleep, study, and eat, but its at school where we're out of control and active. So again on behalf of the senior class we thank you, even though many of the students in front of me disagree. This last year of highschool have proved our most important. In 2 months time I and many of my fellow students will be in college because of the actions of our parents, teachers, and ourselves. I cannot wait to go to my next graduation and think about all the events that led me to it, including my high school years. Well now I'm done with my speech but I would like to welcome San Antonio High Alum, and one of my best friends, Austin Mahone, to perform a cover of a Jason Derulo song," Dinah said as she clapped Justin on stage.

Austin walked up to the stage and winked at everybody on their way up. Some of the freshmen girls who came, because they heard Austin, was going to be there, fainted. Few people laughed, others went to help the girls. As Austin made his way to the stage he grabbed Camila and her chair and placed them center stage. He whispered into Camila's ear before he started to perform, "Remember, last year? owNow I told you and the audience, I wasn't asking you to marry me?"

Camila nodded her head, and Austin smirked, "Well I can't say that this year."

Camila's eyes got big as she realized what his words meant, "Austin..."

Austin started to sing "MARRY ME" by Jason Derulo.

"A hundred and 5 is the number that comes to my head, when I think all the years I want to be with you..." Austin started as he walked around Camila.

Camila started to tear up as Austin sang the rest of the song. By the end of the song he was huffing and puffing. He got down on one knee and pulled out a ring, "Karla Camila Cabello. What do you say? Will you marry me?

Camila was shocked. She looked at her family and friends, each with the same expressions on their face. All of them were tearing up as they looked at Camila and nodded.

This is why dad was so emotional this morning! And why Sofi was humming that song! And they didn't tell me! This is all happening so fast, but I think I'm ready for this. My parents obviously thought I was, or else they wouldn't have given Austin permission, she thought.

"Oh for Pete's sake Camila! ANSWER THE BOY!" The principal screamed.

"Say YES!!!" Normani, Alex, Dinah, Lauren, Mo, Masi, Sinu, Alejandro, and Sofi yelled.

Camila looked at Austin with happy tears in her eyes, "Yes Austin. Yes! A million times yes!"

Austin smiled and put the ring on her finger. He stood up and with that Camila attacked him with  hug and an eventual kiss. He deepened the kiss. When air was an issue they separated. He rested his forehead on hers.

"I love you Karla..."

"Oh so we're back on the calling me Karla thing," said with a smirk.

"Yep! Next I'm the only one who gets to call you that!" He said as he smiled.

"Fine with me."

"You know you love it when I do," he teased.

"I do, but I just love you overall," she said as she kissed him again.

This time Austin carried her bridal style, off the stage so that they wouldn't be disturbed by hundreds of people staring at them. When he hit actual ground they separated.

"Austin and Camila sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!! First Comes Love, THEN COMES MARRIAGE, then comes baby in the baby carriage!!!" The  audience sang.

"That's not all! That's not all! There goes the baby playing  basketball!" The basketball team sang as they ran up to Austin, their former teammate, and gave him a ball with their signatures on it as their way of congratulating him on his engagement.
