April Maxwell is a graduating senior from Jayden high school. April hasn't experienced a lot of things other teenagers have because of her abusive father. One night, April manages to escape her father but she sadly goes into foster care a little whi...
Chapter 1: I made it. April POV I can't believe I did it. I didn't even think I would make it past 15. Here I am. I made it. Breathe April! "Ainsley Lorenzo." What if I fall on my ass in front of everybody? Or worse, fart? I'm notorious for that here. "Jessica Lynx." I'm going to pass out I swear on my pet fish. I look over to my left and lock eyes with Aaliyah. She gives me the biggest grin and I return one while standing up getting ready to walk up. "April Maxwell." I breathe in deeply and walk up the steps to get my diploma. I look at the stands and see Polly and Dave cheering. (My adopted parents.) I grin and receive my diploma. I glance over to the student section and see Aaliyah and Issa cheering like lunatics. I love them so much. I let my eyes wonder over to where Blake Myers is seated. We lock eyes and he smiles causing me to do the same. Stop April, he's a douche who you slept with once. I turn and walk off the stage a bit flustered. Once I get off the stage I stand with the other students and wait. I'M OFFICIALLY DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL! Once everybody finishes the dean gives a speech and we all head outside to throw our mortarboard's into the air. "WE DID IT BITCHES!" Issa yells and jumps around in a little circle. "We're going to college soon!" Aaliyah sniffles and weakly smiles. "Come on Ali don't make me cry." I hug her and we both start crying together. Issa wraps her arms around us too and we stay like that for awhile. "Hey we still have summer! It will be April's first with us! Lets make it memorable." Issa tried to comfort us as we hold each other. "Hey girls! Sorry if we're interrupting, but can we get a picture with April?" Polly asks sweetly not wanting to interrupt our little crying session. "Of course Polly!" I smile and pull away from them. "Meet us in the parking lot and we'll go to Issa's house." I give them a thumbs up and walk over to the front of my school, or should I say, "old school." Ewwww, I don't like that. "Smile for the camera April!" Dave laughs and nudges my side. I can't help but giggle too. This is everything I've ever wanted. I've come so far, and I have the best friends and family ever. *** "Let's get this party started biatches!" I yell as I jump into Issa's Volkswagen SUV. When I hop into the back I realize the guys are here also. "Can I sit next to someone else?" I ask everyone in the car as I look at who I'm stuck next to. Blake Myers. ASSHOLE, DOUCHEBAG, FUCKTARD, IDIOT, POOPY HEAD, HANDSOME FACE. That's what he is. "Looks like your stuck next to me, December." He smiles and I roll my eyes. "I don't think I've ever heard you say April ever since I've met you." I close the door behind me and buckle my seatbelt. "Okay you two try not to kill each other." Dante says sarcastically while rolling his windows down. "Yeah, yeah." I say rolling my window down too. "Let's get this show on the road!" Ryan yells from the backseat as Aaliyah turns the radio on. "TONGUE TIDE!" Blake and I both say at the same time. "Okay, okay you two. Damn." Aaliyah rolls her eyes and turns it on full max. Everyone starts jamming to it and Issa even started crying. "Do you want me to drive babe?" Dante asks concerned. "No it's fine." Issa smiles weakly and rolls her window down. I unbuckle my seat and stick my head out of the window. "We're adults bitches!" I yell with the wind blowing in my face. I feel a large hand grip my shoulder as the song reached its chorus. I look behind me and see Blake staring into my eyes with a huge smile on his face. His hand still resting on my shoulder. He's not that bad I guess. Everyone in the car starts singing and replaying the song until we reach Issa's house.
When we arrive we head towards her basement and get ready for the big graduation party tonight. "Hey boys? How about y'all go upstairs and change while we change down here?" Issa wasn't really asking them and they got the hint. They raced upstairs like little boys full blown shoving each other. I laugh to myself and picked my party clothes out.
Here are all of their outfits
