1. Graduation day 1

Denise P.O.V

Am late!! Damn it alarm!! I ran as fast as my jelly legs could, cussing for being late on my graduation day. Like who on earth can be late on such an important day of their life. But I shouldn't blame the alarm for its job when partly it was also my mistake. If I hadn't gone for that stupid party maybe ... just maybe I wouldn't be late .

But hey, I couldn't miss one hell of a party for anything in this world. I boarded the bus my breathing came short of the running.

Josh had arranged for a farewell party to celebrate and hell was it hot and fun and glamorous that I got drank to the fullest. Ana had warned us not to drink too much, but who cares? it was our night and it's something that doesn't happen often.

Alexa and I were on the moon and I hate to make Ana on a tight spot but I couldn't let something like this pass us and I know that I have to thank her later because she took care of us. That's a hard work on her side but I have to, she is my friend and what she did is actually more than what anyone could do for me so there.

The bus stopped and I rushed out as fast as I could apologizing to everyone I bunbed into.

Reaching at the university, it was quit quiet, decorative, I cannot say clean because it looks like there was a party last night or let's say in the morning when everyone was so happy to make the school unforgettable. I can't believe I missed the morning party, what else could I have missed? And now thinking about it, why did Ana and Alexa not call me? It not their usual thing they could have even woke me up.

I opened my bag to find my phone and right now, I want to kill myself, it off, when did the power go off? Why am I cursed today? If not waking up late was not enough, now my phone is dead.

How am I even going to walk in the hall without being noticed? And what about my dad, mom and my brothers? I guess they are freaking worried about me right now. I have to get to the hall before someone else notices I am not there.

I tip toed inside the hall, well groomed that is with my graduation uniform thanks to Alexa and Ana who had kept it safe for me in my locker. I don't know how I would do without them, anyway I put them on and I walked toward the hall where the voices could be heard.

I tip toed towards my seat like a thief, but halted when I heard my name. My whole body tensed and shivered as I bite my lower lips so hard that I could taste blood, good have been caught. I heard my name the second time and I looked up to see everyone eyes on me and that when I noticed it was the principle calling my name and I smiled nervously at everyone. I heard someone whispering my name and I saw it was Alexa showing me some gestures with her hands that I couldn't understand at all, but she mouthed something like 'go to the principal' and I guessed I should go and my legs walked toward the podium.

I smiled nervously as all eyes were on me. I heard people screaming and shouting my name as I walked to get my certificate. Smiling proudly I eye searched my parents and brothers from the crowd but it looked impossible since there were a lot of people here. I was as happy as a new born I wasn't late to get my certificate. This is want I have always wanted and here it is after years of learning I got my reward, and am pretty sure wherever my family are, they are proud of me.
