Love at Divergent High

Chapter 40: Graduation day

Today is the day of our graduation from High School. Tomorrow Tobias and I are getting married. Meaning tonight is my hen night and his stag night. I can’t wait. After our wedding Tobias and I are going on honeymoon for a week before coming back and spending the rest of the summer with our friends. It will be just Tobias and I as the others agreed to look after Eve, even though we did say we would take her with us.

Right now Christina, Shauna, Marlene and I are getting ready for graduation. Eve is downstairs with the boys; I got her ready before starting to get ready myself. I am wearing a white dress that goes to my mid-thigh. It isn’t clingy, it flows. There are sequins on the bodice. Christina is doing my hair and make-up whilst the other two are getting ready, she is already ready.

When I am done my hair is in loose curls and hangs over my shoulders. My foundation is done naturally and I have a thin line of eyeliner on as well as some mascara.

I thank her and we walk downstairs to find the boys sitting on the sofas in the living room, laughing. Eve, who is now nineteen weeks old, is sitting on Tobias’ lap; she is wearing a white dress as well. Ashton is on Uriah’s lap wearing a suit. The boys look smart in their shirts and trousers.

I sit down next to Tobias and Christina sits next to Will. We sit and wait for Marlene and Shauna to finish getting ready.

…

Two hours later and we are sitting in the school auditorium waiting for our names to be called so we can go and collect our scrolls from the principle.

I can’t believe that us, a group of eighteen year olds are finally graduating from High School. I can’t wait for College. I can’t wait for the rest of my life. With Tobias. With our daughter. With our friends. With any other child we might have in the future.

“Beatrice Prior.” The principle calls my name and my friends cheer and clap and I stand and make my way to the stage after putting Eve in Tobias’ arms. I take the scroll and shake the principles hand before making my way back to my seat.

The principle keeps going through the list of senior year students and it isn’t long before the ceremony is over and the students make their way to prom. Our gang heads outside and we stop when we are on the patch of grass outside the auditorium.

“Could you give Four and I a minute? I mean, we’re not allowed to see each other tonight.” I ask.

“Yeah. You have a minute then we’re dragging you away.” Christina says.

“I wouldn’t expect anything less Christina.” I say. The gang leaves Tobias and I alone, Eve in my arms.

“So, I guess we’ll see you tomorrow.” I say.

“Yeah. God, it’s going to be hard without you both tonight.” He says.

“I know. It’s going to be hard without you too. I love you.” I say.

“I love you too.” Tobias says before kissing me passionately.

I kiss him back with all the love I have for him. When we pull apart he kisses Eve’s head.

“Enjoy your night.” He says.

“You enjoy yours too.” I say.

“See you at the altar.” He says.

“See you at the altar.” I repeat, smiling.

That is when Christina comes and drags me away from him, literally. She grabs me arm and drags me away from my soon to be husband and all the way to her car. Shauna and Marlene follow closely behind us. 

Christina turns on the ignition and we drive to wherever they’re taking me for my hen night.

Hey guys, hope you enjoyed it. Please review!
