Shane P.O.V.

I'm sitting in my room wrapping Tj's birthday present while listening to the misfits. Graduations later on tonight and today is ALSO Tj's BIRTHDAY.! I got him a new misfits shirt and a les Paul guitar. He always wanted it but he never had time to go and purchase it because he was always busy. I finished and ran and set them inside my car trunk. I got ready for graduation and stuff then I slipped on my cap and gown. I sighed deeply. As much as I wanted to graduate already, I didn't want to leave all my memories behind. I walked downstairs to see my mom holding her camera. "Come on! I'm taking pictures.!" She said. And snapped some pics. I smiled as she took thousands of pics. She stopped when the door bell rang so I went and answered it. I seen Tj in his cap and gown as well. "Happy birthday." I said. He looked so handsome.! I smiled and hugged him. My mom took more pictures. Tj released me and I looked at him. He looked worried? Or sad? I don't know, maybe it was because he didn't want to leave his memories behind either. Craig walked up followed by Max, Robert, and the new guy thrasher. Monte and Michael switched schools and left the band so they replaced them. I smiled an hugged them all. "Ok so we are all going to meet up with our parents after graduation then I don't know." Craig said. We piled into the car as Tj looked out of the window. We pulled up to our favorite diner and got out and took off out caps and gowns so we didn't get anything on them. We set them inside the car and then we walked inside the diner and sat inside a booth. "Congrats graduates!" The waitress, Martha, said as she took our orders. We thanked her and she walked away. "Shane, what are you doing after you graduate?" Max asked. "College for photography." I said. He smiled as Craig high fived me. Our food came and we ate then we walked back to the car and put our caps and gowns on then left. We arrived at the football fields where our ceremony was being held at. We got out and got in line to walk out and sit down.

"Shane Josephine Belmont." The dean said. People cheered and hollered as I took my diploma and shook the deans hand then I walked back off stage. A few more people were called before they called my best friend up there. "Thomas Joseph Bell." The dean said. I cheered as loud as I could. They called up tons of kids and I cheered when they called up Craig, max, Robert, and thrasher. "Before we end this ceremony, a few of these graduates wanted some one to speak. Shane Belmont, please come and say a few words." The dean spoke then sat down. I got up and walked up to the podium. "Hello. Most of you were mean and hateful towards me so I don't know why you picked me....Um, I don't know what you want me to say except hello. If your looking for a big sappy speech from me then your in the wrong place because that is stupid. Half of you graduates won't become what you wanted. You can if you put your hopes and dreams into it but in reality, you'll either become a person that works at mcdonalds...or something along the lines of things like that. If you wanted to be a doctor? Fat chance. Along with a lawyer or a teacher. Me? I want to be the most simplistic thing out there. Myself. You should try that ....Try and be what no ones expects you to be. But before you try to object and say that you are yourself, look around, if you look like the girl or guy next to you...then you probably aren't a leader and you aren't yourself. Your a follow and a hipster. Be your self because that's all you have in life sometimes...trust me, I know. Thank you." I said and sat back down. "Uh, thank you. I would now like to present to you, the graduating class of (insert year)." The dean said. People cheered as we all stood up and threw our caps in the air. I felt my self being lifted off the ground and spun around. "We did it bitch!" I heard Tj shout. He set me down as Craig and the rest of the guys approached us. "Hey guys, we are gonna go talk to my mom then we will meet up with you after ok?" Max said as him and the guys walked past us. "Shane. I need to tell you something." Tj said. I nodded for him to continue. "It's embarrassing with words so her goes nothing." He said before he pulled me close and his lips landed on mine. I was shocked but I soon kissed back. I seen a flash and we pulled apart to see the guys and my mom. My mom had a camera in her hand and she was smiling like crazy. "It's about time." She said. "Agreed!" Tjs mom said while hugging my mom. I chuckled. "Shane, that poem that you wrote in class...I know it was about me. And that poem says everything I've wanted to tell you since I recited my poem in 8th grade." He said. My heart melted at his words. "Shane, please tell me that you love me too." Tj said breathlessly. "Since 8th grade when you wrote that poem...it captured me for some reason." I said. He smiled and kissed me. More pictures were taken. "I brought your car." My mom said. "Awesome. Come on Tj." I said and pulled him to my car. I popped my trunk and pulled out his gifts and handed them to him. He smiled and opened them. His eyes lit up and he hugged me and kissed me. "Best birthday and graduation ever." He said. I nodded. The rest of ETF came up with falling in reverse. I smiled and waved at the guys. "We are gonna give you guys some alone time." They said and retreated to wherever. "Come on." Tj said and then we got in my car, him driving. He drove to my house and we went up to my room. I won't get into details but that night, I lost my virginity to my best friend...and the love of my life.
