down to earth
part #6
high school, senior year
finally we'd made it. senior year graduation. i looked in the mirror, and i didn't believe the person staring at me was about to graduate. i spun around in my white dress, and slipped into my wedges. chris told me he would come up today, and i was super excited. we'd still remained close, even though i never thought we'd be able to. he'd come up almost every weekend. after about a month of that, my mom and i felt bad, so we'd switched every other weekend. i hadn't seen him in a couple weeks though because all of his friends were having graduation parties. i went to his, and he was valedictorian. he made an awesome speech, and i was cheering the whole time. surprisingly matt and i had continued to go out. we didn't get in a lot of fights, and chris and him were like best friends. i straightened one last piece of my hair, and my doorbell rang. i got up, and ran downstairs. at my front door was my best friend, standing there in khaki shorts and a polo.
"hey yo!" i squealed as i opened the door.
"hey yo, look at you." he said, checking me out.
"i missed you!" i said, and i jumped into his arms. he hugged me back, until my mom came to the door and said,
"hey chris, how are you?"
"great mrs. williams, how are you?"
"good. just getting ready for the graduation." she said, and she stormed away.
"how have you been?" i asked, and i pulled him into my house.
"great. you know, a lot of parties." he smiled.
"and not seeing me." i said.
"sorry, emily wouln't let me leave." he said. emily was his current girlfriend he would swear he would marry. i still loved chris, but just as a friend, and that wasn't ever going to be enough. and i loved matt too, but it just seemed uncomparable to chris's, so i didn't often.
"it's okay. you're here now. i have to finish doing my makeup, come upstairs." i said, and he followed me to my room. i put on some blush, and mascara, and eyeliner, and i was done.
"you look beautiful." he said.
"awh thanks," i smiled, and i grabbed his hand to go downstairs. i glanced up at the clock, and it was almost time to leave. we drove in his car, and when we got there, we all took a bunch of pictures. everyone greeted chris, and then it was time for the graduation. after a bunch of tearjerking speeches, we all got called up. when my name was called, i looked out, and saw chris standing and cheering. i smiled, accepted my diploma and walked to my seat. after we all threw our hats up, i ran to see chris and matt. we all got in a picture with ryan, to capture the moment that would last in our minds forever.
