Becoming us sequel

"I had this whole speech planned. I was going to tell how we worked as one and it was great here, but in all honesty I would be lying, and that's just not my style. However I can say, I've spent four years of my life here. 1 was seventeen when I came and I'm finally twenty. I can't remember a point in time where I stood in these hallways and felt good. I felt scared and alone because everybody that I came in here with is gone. My entire life I have been the super genius, and then I came here and I was like everybody else. It turns out my best friend she rocked this place. She got in out of here in three years. I imagine her traveling the world in honor of me. I've spent every week discovering myself. I've spent every week telling myself on this day you will be proud and it turns out I am. I am extremely proud of the growth I've made from day one. Every single one of us should be because we've made it. We've survived and nothing can break us. We made it. As we step foot at of these walls we need to remember the friendships and the bonds that we've made because those are what make you feel alive. Congratulations!" I said stepping off the podium with my diploma.

I took my seat as we threw or caps into the air. I saw a stein muscled hang grab a hold of mine. I looked down to see a face I didn't expect to see.

"PEYTON!!" I screamed and jumped into his arms wrapping my legs around his chest and my arms around his neck.

"Rowboat!" He yelled.

"I've missed you" I whispered with tears coming to the surface as he put me down.
