Graduation

*Cam's POV*

I woke up to a call from Blake." Are you excited? Finally the day we've waited for since the first day of freshman year. Cam, please get up so i can see your excited face." I rubbed my eyes and stood up. "Hold on Blake." I said sleepily. "I can't let me see your face." He said practically screaming in my ear. "Finneeeeee," I replied, still half asleep.

We got dressed and ready on the phone talking about what we were gonna do for the rest of our lives. "I think i'm just gonna stay with sway and see where it takes me, what about you cam?" " I'm gonna go to UCLA. I think to be honest, I may study politics or something of that nature."I said. "Oh okay i see you smart girl" he responded sassily.

To be honest I really have no idea what i'm gonna do and I think i'm fine with that because I was only certain about one thing in my life right now, I loved Bryce.

Blake and I were riding together and my parents were going later. Blake and I were still on facetime when he got to my house. I got in and hung up the phone. He gave me a hug and was almost in tears already. I pulled away from him and said "Oh, Blake come on are you serious?" "Yea, I'm sorry i'll stop i'm just overwhelmed right now." He said, wiping his tears. "It's okay, Blake calm down." I said reaching over to wipe his tears.We were jamming to our playlist the whole way there trying to get hype so we could walk across the stage. When we pulled up we saw Maddy and Jaden getting out and told them to wait for us. We parked and got out and met up with them. I hugged them both and sighed. "This is really it." I said to Maddy. "Yep finally." She responded letting out a big breath. As we all walked into the stadium we all held hands. Jaden was probably uncomfortable but oh well. We all found our seats and were waving to each other once we all sat down.

The principal and valedictorian spoke and we all teared up as this was the last few moments left of highschool. We all grew up and went through everything together and in a few months it will be our first time going to school without any of them.

They called Blakes name and everyone cheered really loud and I yelled "I love you Blakey," with the biggest smile on my face. He looked over to me and held his hands in a heart shape and pointed to me. That was my best friend no question, he was and has always been there for me, I thought to myself.

When I was in line to walk on the stage I saw Blake looking for someone.I didn't know who, but I just brushed it off and kept going with my nerves shooting up every time I took a step forward to the stage.

They called my name and I stepped up on the stage. I got my diploma from my principal and shook my teachers hands before stopping to take a picture. I heard people clapping and yelling for me. I had the biggest grin on my face when I heard Blake yell "That's my best friend." As I walked off the stage I felt my stomach drop when I looked up and saw him. He was standing at the railing with his arms folded smirking at me. I looked to Blake and he was smiling and nodding his head.I knew he would be here, he loved me and I knew that for a fact now.

When the ceremony was over I found Blake in the sea of my fellow classmates and we walked to the front of the school to take pictures with our families. Bryce found us and walked up to the front with us. I gave him the biggest hug and he picked me up and gave me a kiss on the cheek. He was finally my boy again. I know we both messed up but we promised to forgive and forget.

We met our parents at the front and took pictures. I took some with Blake and me and then all three of us and then just some of me and Bryce. Once we were done we got in our cars and drove to Olive Garden for some lunch. I rode with Bryce, holding hands the whole way there.

We were the first ones there so we waited for a bit in the parking lot. I was checking instagram, when he leaned over and grabbed my face before smashing our lips together. God, I love this man.

My parents pulled up so we pulled away from each other. We got out and headed into the restaurant. We all sat down and ordered. Soon after we got our food and started eating. When we got done eating Bryce paid for everyone and we all left.

Bryce was driving me back to my house so I could change and grab a bag so I could stay at his house for a while. When we got home we went into my room. Bryce layed on my bed while I changed.

I was packing my bag when he said to throw a dress in my bag. I asked him why and he said "I'm throwing you and Blake a little graduation party." He said, still looking at his phone. I jumped on him to get his attention. "WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS BABY?" I yelled while I was like 2 inches from his face. He rolled me over to get on top of me and yelled back "YES, NOW PACK A DRESS GOOFY!" I giggled as he helped me up.

I went to the dresses in my closet and was flipping through one when I thought to myself, ouu he hasn't seen me in this yet, let's bring this. I shoved it in the bottom of my bag so he wouldn't see it. I finished packing and by the time I was done packing My parents were pulling up. Bryce took my bag when we were leaving. I said bye to my parents as Bryce helped me into the car. He threw my bag in the back and got in. We drove to Sway and I hopped out going to the back to grab my bag. Bryce pushed me aside and grabbed my bag before I could even reach my hands into the car. I laughed and jumped on his back. He walked into the house and I jumped off his back.

Bryce walked upstairs to put my stuff in his room,and I went to the kitchen. Everyone was in the kitchen waiting for me to get there. I gave everyone hugs and picked up Buddy and gave her a hug too. These are my people, I said quietly to Buddy. We all hung out and caught up while standing at the island in the kitchen. Bryce came down and stood next to me and put his arm around me. "Sooo, are yall back?" Asked Quinton. "Yes," we said in sync while looking at each other. They all cheered. We laughed and continued the conversation, which would last for hours until the party.

To Be Continued...
