*Last day of school*

Zoe's POV.//

My bags were packed for tomorrow and I couldn't wait. First I had to finish up the last day of school which consisted of Finals. Since it was a half day, I had a final in my two elective classes, that I couldn't exempt.

Matt and I penny boarded to school together. We reached school and walked to my locker. I stuffed my penny board in there. Matt and I had our last class together and then we were officially done with highschool. This was it.

"Time flies." He laughed. "It sure does." I agreed with him. "There is a party after school, at the lake. Do you want to go with me or do we want to just spend time together?" He asked me.

"I'd love to go to the party with you." I kissed his cheek. He was quite shocked. He probably thought we were going to end up hanging out somewhere else. "I'll walk you home and we can then come to my place to get my car?" He confirmed our plans with me. I nodded and kissed him goodbye.

Matt honked signaling that he was outside, waiting for me. I pulled a top and shorts on over my two piece for the party at the lake. I grabbed my Vans backpack and headed towards Matt's car.

"Looking beautiful as always." Matt complimented me. "Why thank you." I giggled. He started the car and drove to the lake. "It all went by fast huh?" He sound stunned. I agreed with him before saying,"We have been together for almost a year." "And I'm very proud about that." He beamed. "Also I've never been with a girl for more than a week." He admitted.

"Well I'm glad that you stayed with me for more than a week." A small smirk was evident on my lips. "And you're okay with swimming? There aren't any scars right Zoe?" He asked, in a worried tone.

"I've been clean for 9 months Matthew. I promise. " I reassured him. "I'm proud of you. You are a very strong girl Zoe. I admire that." He smiled at me. I just smiled back, not knowing what to say back.

We reached the lake. It was party with around 30 people. Not too crazy and stuff. It was much more enjoyable. We walked over to our friends who were sitting under a tree. I sat beside Talia.

"We graduated!" She squealed in my ears. "I can't believe it." I hugged her. Talia and I sat away from the other girls at this party.

Between Talia and I, the other girls probably hated us for having fun. They wouldn't get in the water. They would just try and show off their bodies. Last time I checked, this wasn't a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Talia and I slipped out of our clothes. I was much more comfortable with my swimsuit body, due to working out more. I was quite proud even though I got dirty looks from the other girls. Talia and I walked down to another tree, where we found a rope.

"I dare you to swing into the water." Talia had a wide grin on her face. "Challenge accepted." I shook her hand before climbing on the steps made on the deck that was beside the tree. Matt was searching around for me while in the water. He found me and winked at me.

I grabbed the rope and took a few steps back, before running and releasing my hands from the rope. I splashed into the water, submerging below it. I surfaced up for air and swam out of the way so Talia could go.

The boys were making their way to the rope, so they could have a turn. I swam over to the side, so I was out of the way. Matt pulled me over to him and wrapped his arms around me. "Hi."

"You excited for tomorrow." He said, before locking our hands together. "Very." I smiled at him. "And you know what I'm more excited for?" A smirk appeared on his lips. "What?" My eyebrows furrowed creating a frown. "I'm excited to be with you with our families." He hugged me. "You're just excited to see me in a swimsuit more often." I whispered to him.

"Zoe Tyler, trying to be seductive are we?" He chuckled before pulling away. "Maybe, maybe not." I said before we joined everyone else who was waiting for us.

"Another round of truth or dare like when Zoe first moved here?" Jack asked. "No thank you." The other boys said, and was happy that they did.

Cam had brought his speaker and decided to plug in his phone so we could have a little party, once night fell.

-

I woke up beside Matt still at the lake. Everyone was scattered around, lying on blankets. I rubbed my eyes, trying to adjust to the sunlight. I checked my phone to see that it was 9. 

Then it hit me. Our flight was today, this afternoon. "Matt." I whispered, trying not to wake the others. Matt groaned and his eyes pried open. "Our flight. We have to go."

He got up stumbling a bit as we rushed to the car. God, I hope we aren't late.
